The world was beautiful. Trees looked like an abnormality. Trees with purple an outer bark and a burgundy. The grass perfectly matched with the leaves of the trees. A forest blessed by the presence of the moon in the night sky.
Gleaming on the vegetation covering 2 hectare of land, the moon was especially beautiful "tonight".
Zander stood on two feet. Gravity weighed him down to the earth. The increase was thrice the force than it was outside the cube. "Wha- what the fuck." Totally surprised. Something like this was never a part of his expectations.
"Why am I so heavy??"
Taking minor steps was the first step to progress.
Popping up were the notification. "You've met Selene and Erza."
"So the notifications come after I complete the quest not when I do it. That's convenient." He said with a scratchy voice from the extra weight his body gained.
"Seriously, what's up with this wei- HAH." To him, it felt like unceasingly carrying on his max deadlift without a stoppage. The air was a lot thicker than the atmosphere in the library. It was suffocating. Instinctively, deep breaths were entering his body. He was breathing in quick succession to get even a slither of air in his system but it was hard. Was his body rejecting the air?
Nothing looked the same after that. He was seeing double "I-I can't see." His vision was blurry even more that usual "I can't think straight." The legs were wobbly and weak. Stepping everywhere except for where he wants to go. All symptoms of asphyxiation, the lack of oxygen. The thick and heavy weighted air couldn't properly enter his lungs which is where the lack of oxygen.
"Really, you're gonna die from this?" The voice from before was clearer than ever." "No woman at your side, no money, weak, and hopeless. Way to prove her point."
Zander did not like the thought of dying in that fashion. Closed and encased, his fist rose. His jaw felt a striking blow. His nose, hit with straight knuckles. The tear ducks in his eyes release tears that fill up his eyes. The face, chest, stomach, all were punched. Using the pain of his own attacks to keep him awake. His left knee elevates high. The ground nearly caved in with the great force of Zander's foot slamming onto dirt. The recoil was sent back up to his legs, shaking his nerves a little.
His jaw clenched tightly. No longer will his mouth open to attempt to breathe in large copious amounts of oxygen. Air slides through the small gaps between his teeth. His mouth closed shut after that and he kept on moving. He could already tell how harsh this training will be. Nevertheless, he must continue.
"Let's.....do this....." His black gloves were taken off and placed into his inventory. Taken out was the cloak he got from the dead body inside the library.
Szzzrrr, he shreds the cloak to make it two gauze like lines. Wrapping his wrist, lapping over his thumb then knuckles, he was set. He puts his gloves back on and gets into his training.
It's hard because of the gravity difference but stretches were detrimental. Cramps would only slow down the workout routine. Flexibility is a factor in combat that could determine the result of the battle.
Static stretches always came first. Getting into a specific position to extend the muscles and warm them up. It tends to increase the tension of the muscles and prepare them for future physical activities.
From stretching his hips and legs, to his arms and sides, his entire body was accounted for. Neck included.
A lot of people ignore the neck when exercising but it is an important body part to strengthen especially during battle. His neck twist from side to side, up and down for around 3 reps of 20.
After a full body stretch, he starts jogging. The first step slap and slab of reality against Zander's neck. His foot hit the ground harder than he's ever experienced. The force flowed through his body, making his spine shiver. Every move he took or will take was more than he's ever experienced. But he pushes through.
________
Zander didn't even have a real reason to actually abide by the Goddess's wishes. However, survival was the only thing on his mind.
"If I don't do this I'll end up like them. And I'll be damned if I die again." Regardless of the objective given to him, his eyes peered down on surviving and coming out on top.
This weight wasn't as unbearable as it was three days ago. He deemed his progress moving on faster than it should be.
Sadly, he has not eaten in the last three days. It's been insufferable. Nothing he came across could be eaten. He was too slow, his breathing was too loud, and he was too exhausted.
"....I couldn't even catch a rabbit."
"Didn't it have horns?"
"That doesn't matter. What matters is that I couldn't catch it." His stomach rumbled.
"Mmmm." He'd be dehydrated if he didn't eat some of the leaves on the purple trees.
But even so, his body was still working through it.
Day Four, what ever energy he had in his body was being used infinitesimally. He hardly used the screen for training(he thinks it's cheating) but this was an exception. He needed someone else to talk to other than his own thoughts. That was the screen. Apparently, it had its own personal "AI" setting. The man was gnawing on the scarlet leaves while setting up the AI.
"I can create her avatar? I don't have time for that." Random stats were allocated. Height, waist, breasts, gluteus maximus (butt), hips, eyes, all were set at random without him truly paying attention or caring to what it might come out as.
"Initializing Avatar...."
A grumble, a growl, and a scent of blood all entered the present area of Zander.
"This don't look good."
"That sounds like a...."
CrrrrrAAACK!! Bones and flesh pierced, crushed and devoured not too far from Zander.
He gazed past the many trees, walking over to the smell and sound.
"Oh." Three bear cubs with blue eyes were devouring a dear. The horns of the dear seemed untouched. They were white with blue circles.
"You could eat them. Put that hunger away."
"I can't do that....I can't." His mouth didn't even water from looking at them or the deer.
"I....I'll just take this." He broke the deer's antlers off. From the books he's read in the library, they were eating a Crystallake Deer. It's white fur and antlers is a byproduct of absorbing light energy of all levels of the spectrum. It's supposedly converts said light into life force to continue it's life cycle. But it only lives in Nachtheim.
Zander wasn't in the right state of mind to think of the specific details of the Crystallake Deer. It was a large deer but getting close to those bear cubs wasn't a good idea. The irony of this was so easy to see. Her 10eters away from the bear cubs out of lack of energy.
He bit the antler but only a mark was left.
"Damn, these bitches are tough." He kept biting down on the a part of the antlers again and again until he bit through it. He put the rest of the antlers inside his inventory space while chewing on a small part of it.
"Guess it was a false alarm."
"Initializing Avatar...."
"Still, heh." Suddenly, the sound of an aggressive bear rung through his ears. It was running past the cubs at a speed one might think was impossible for such a large creature. A stature of 20 feet moving at 70 miles per hour, faster than a cheetah.
"Oh Shit." he reacted late, as he was trying to get up, it tackled him through the tree behind him. "GAH!" It kept running through trees until it's 12 inch claws dug into the ground, stopping it's momentum. Zander was thrown into another tree because of that.
He hit the ground with a limp body. Once again, it was hard to breathe for Zander. "Wha- what just happened?"
Zander gripped the ground and stood up looking weak and frail.
"Avatar Initialized."
"Creating System's AI Avatar based on user Windbreak's experience and likeness..."
The claws of the bear drag through the dirt. Every fiber of muscles in the bear's upper body propelled its 1800 pound body through the air.
"Like that matters." His legs shook
"Four days." The bear rushed at him again. Growling and roaring as it neared him. It stepped onto it's hind legs and came down on him with it's left "arm". Those claws ripped through the wind sharper than the mightiest sword.
"Constructing Avatar via user Windbreak's unregistered E.X.P."
Everything flashed before him. His past life, his current life, and his current actions. The bear's claws were moving in slow motion in his eyes.
"Wah?!" Whatever it was, he wasn't going to let this opportunity pass. One foot(left) took a step outside the bear's attack range in a diagonal line. His hands lay near his lips and his upper body lowered down as he stepped in. The bear was stuck in place because of it's momentum and weight. So slashing the tree is the only thing they could do.
The tree was split in four pieces right down the middle. A vacuum of claws raged forth, slicing through the trees in front of the bear.
Instinctively, Zander countered. All rotational energy started from his feet. Shifting it, shifts his legs to his hips back. His torso follows their path causing his fist to fall in. His fist winds up from his hip and comes out all together in synchronization. The energy flows through his body as he swipes his arm across, striking the bear in its side.
Zander did not hold back against such an animal. There was no way he couldn't. However, he was facing a 1800 pound bear with a greater muscular structure than that of a polar and grizzly bear.
The large animal rotates it's body toward, slamming its shoulder against his body. His dutch guard was broken immediately. From his point of view, his feet was no longer touching the ground.
"This is nuts!" Back hitting the floor, his body bounced off the ground.
His four arm was used as leverage to help him stand back up. "This bitch.....ack!" Zander started uncontrollably coughing.
His lungs ached. Breathing hurt. His throat felt like it was on fire. Was he not use to the atmosphere yet? He held his throat but the battle didn't cease for his recovery. That's not how reality works.
An o' so familiar jaw closed the distance once between them. Not a thing in the world could prepare him for what happens next. To put in perspective, Grizzly bear's can bite through pine trees and break the bones of several different animals with it's teeth.
Stronger than a harpoon, a set of teeth clamp down on Zander's shoulder. Blood stained the bear's teeth screams tainted the forest in agony. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
It's head moved around, swinging Zander's body around like a ragdoll until, he was sent flying. His back hit a tree branch and he hit the floor. THUD!! The immense gravity only increased the amount of force he felt hit him once he dropped to the ground.
THUD!! Something else dropped in front of him. As if his body tried to censor it, his vision was blurry to what was before him. Sadly, he could feel what it was.
Blood spilled, drenching the floor. He holds his shoulder but nothing was there but ripped muscles, torn tendons, veins and broken bones. "Huh?"
SMOOSH!! What he saw was his own arm getting crushed by the large aggressive monster that wanted his life.
A regular man no..... a human would lose all sanity at the sight of a bear. The mere thought of being mauled by one is stomach dropping itself. A threat unlike anything ever documented in history would be world shattering.
But Zander's blood boiled.
________
The scene was seen through a screen in a white room by a man with a slick back hair style and long white hair. "This guy....Is he human?"
"Are you still admiring her candidate?" Another man walked out of a ray of light beside the man. "You have to watch over your realm!"
"I know but this human is Intriguing. It's almost concerning. " This man was none other than Lucifer Morningstar.
"Lucifer, that human is not important. Your demons ar-"
Lucifer waved at the man, gesturing him to come closer. "Just look. Does that look like something a human would do?"
A human's instincts are quite different from others in the animal kingdom. A wolf instinctively knows how to track it's prey through scent. A crocodile instinctively knows how to sense movements in the same body of water as it through the pressure sensors under its skin. Octopus aren't taught how to change colors. With the world filled with different entities that could destroy man, how did they become the top predators for thousands of years? What are their special traits? What instincts do they have?
A human adapts and overcomes through any
means
necessary.
Zander's golden eyes were swallowed by darkness. Darker yet darker, they reached the abyss. This was not magic.
This was a blessing. Blessings are granted to the prophets of the world by a god they are favorited by. These blessings are never the same. The prophet's personality and life experiences create the blessing after it's been rightfully bestowed. And Zander was like an anomaly.
This blessing was more like a curse.
The increase in stats did not stop his bleeding but blood loss wasn't a restriction for this man.
The bear's same tactic came true. It mindlessly bombarded the Zander who's anger was being held back by him gnawing his lip til it bled.
But one cannot be angry forever. A mask cannot hide tears, right? And a brick wall cannot stop a tsunami.
Before another drop of blood hit the floor, Zander was gone. The bear lost track of him completely.
Four nails scrape past its skin from the right side. The bear groans lightly. It turns over and sees Zander right in its face. There was almost no distance between the two. "I'm gonna fuckin kill you."
Thought of death, mental deterioration, physically suppressed. The environmental disadvantages and the difference in strength, speed, weight class, so many factors come in but the stress go to him. A mental break down wasn't in the form of depression here. It was in the form of MALICE.
His hair changed complete. A natural black haired man turned white in a split second.
His fist lined up with the bear's face perfectly. Moving with the punch, he hit the bear in the nose. The bear winced in pain.
"That hurt? Oh no, that isn't REAL PAIN!" His body was lighter than before because of all the blood he lost. So he was faster than ever.
The bear's weight is distributed onto it's hind legs. A pattern is registered and recognized upon this initial movement. Flat footed, his calf and thigh muscles tense and contract. Leaning down, his only hand grabs the ground. Holding all the energy he releases out toward the ground. Propelling him outside of the bear's reach.
One foot retreats whilst his only hand grabs the ground again, stopping him for less than a split second.
The bear's claws split down the tree.
"You're too tough to hurt?" His feet broke through the dense outer bark of the surrounding trees. Each footprint left had a higher elevation level than the last. The leaves rustle and the bear's ears twitch from the sound. Looking around, it doesn't see Zander but his scent lingered close by.
Following the direction of his smell wasn't possible because it was all around the bear. It didn't have the mental capacity to look in every direction or deduce where Zander would be via the process of elimination.
Zander pushed himself 30 meters above ground with the bear beneath him.
"By who's judgement?" All of the weight in his body was concentrated into one focal point, the heels of his feet. His arms fold over his pectorals as gravity did it's job.
Like Little Boy descending on Hiroshima, he dropped 261 kilograms of weight down onto the bear's back with a surplus of force from the velocity of him falling. An additional boost to his muscular and skeletal structure deriving from the boost of EXP creates an entirely new skill using impact and insanity. The moment he was 8.4 inches away from the bear, his legs curled.
Zander jammed his knees into the bear's back. The ground caved in from the weight of both Zander and the bear.
His foot pummelled the bear's head into the ground.
"What's wrong?! Did that hurt?" His foot rose and dropped on its skull again and again. There was no stopping him at this point. The skull was tougher than titanium but he kept stomping it for an entire hour with a maniacal laugh following each POW. "GYAAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!!"
"Avatar Complete!"
"EXP Conversion Process In Progress."
________
"So this guy's her new candidate. Guess the 20th time is the charm!" The remarkably known devil laughed. Not only at Izanami's failures but at her newest candidates accomplishment.
"You've got yourself a true demon, Goddess of the Primordial Underworld." Lucifer glanced at Zander with a smile pasted on his face. "I'll have to recommend you to Hades. but for now."
His hand reached out to Zander. "I'll bless you with my insignia."
_________
A drifted dream filled with shadows and a sea of loneliness. To his appeal, a dazzling light shines upon him. He covered his eyes and attempts to see the origin of the light.
It is said that if you stares into the abyss, it stares into you. This light had an appearance resembling a triangle overlapping another triangle with a snake's eye in the middle.
"Mortal." Fades in and out of his mind.
"Mortal." The more it is heard, the closer it seems to get.
"You'vep0 attempted this action for the previous 72 hours. Perhaps announcing, Windbreak's mortality is not an accurate approach."
"I don't care!! Wake him up!! MORTAL!!"
Zander's eyes shoot open with a symbol woven into his left eye.
"Oh, he is awake." The same voice from the screen's text to speech hit him. Two large ovals covered the face of whoever spoke to him. The back of his head felt something like a pillow and hands on the top of his head and forehead.
"Good Morning, Windbreak."
"Finally!!" Another voice was around. He turned his head and a red head. Not a ginger but a true crimson colored set of hair on a super model body. An amazonian of a woman, taller than what the average height for a universal woman would be. At her side was a white haired petite hourglass women? They were smaller than the average height of a woman from his original world.
"Man let me go to sleep GAHDAMN!!" He honestly didn't care for where or what was going on. His ribs hurt along with the rest of his body. Sleep was the best medicine so he intended on taking that pill.
"Sleep is not recommended at this time, Windbreak."
"Looks like you got yourself a party." Said his thoughts.
He smacked his lips "Wait a damn minute." Rolled off whatever he was on before. He stood up and looked at both sides. "Who the fuck are y'all?!" while pointing at them.
"Of course a mortal would be oblivious of the marvel in their presence."
"Now now, where will your pride get you in your current state?" Said the red headed woman.
"Windbreak, I am your assistant."
"Her voice sounds just like the screen." He thought. "Wait, are you the screen?"
"Ye-"
"That doesn't matter, Mortal. Send us back to Gehenna!" The short was announced.
"Gehenna? The fucks a Gehenna?"
"Gehenna, the realm of dread and home to majin, djinn, demons, archdemons, and devils." The body of the screen said. It was quite obvious that she was a girl. A soft feminine voice, breasts unbelievably large, a slim waist, small stomach, and thick thighs. With an ass to balance it out.
"Then y'all demons?" He faced the two.
"That is correct." The red head was very calm. She had the same body type as the screen but her breasts were a lot smaller. C cup.
"Now, send us back." The little one repeats.
"Prince Sitri, that will not be possible. I've told you this for the last three days."
"And I told you that I will not listen to the words of a demon lesser than me."
"Citrus."
"Did you just mispronounce my name?"
The sleeve of a fur coat slides up and down his forearm everytime he moves his arm. "I can't-" He noticed what he was kilted in. "This shits soft as hell." He chuckled lightly. "Wait, You're a guy?"
"Hold on. You expect me to send you back to hell like I can do that shit in the first place?"
"You can't send us back?? But you summoned us here!" The anger filling Sitri's voice was not unheard. A dark aura of mana engulfs their body. "Then I'll make a portal with your blood." That sentence was filled with animosity.
A feel of electrical currents flood their body. "GuhAAAAAAAAAH!!!"
Birds once chirping amongst the trees fly away.
Smoke ascends from the prince's charred body with the aura no where to be seen.
"You okay there? Ya lookin crunchy right now." He walked to Sitri. "D-Don't touch m-" Sitri raised his head to push Zander away just for another sensation of electricity to flow through his body.
"Hm, it seems like we cannot show any physical animosity toward him. From what I've heard, this only happens towards demons who are owned by a mortal. But to this extent."
"So..... you guys are my demons? Yo my mom would kill me if she knew that....." A laugh came out in small portions.
"NO!! TO SERVE A MORTAL IS.....is....is ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL!!"
The seemingly needless yelling made him uncomfortable. "Yo chill out with the yellin."
"I DO NOT TAKE ORDERS FROM A MORTAL!!!"
"Aight that's cool but chill out."
"I SHALL NOT DO THE BIDDING OF-"
"Yo." The sigil formed around the pupil of his left eye. "SHUT THE FUCK UP!!"
The silence was louder than the proudest lion. Sitri's voice was shut out completely. He opened his mouth to speak but nothing was said. The harsh reality was cold and brutal for Sitri.
"That insignia! Only he can give that out."
The other cleared her throat. "Allow me to introduce myself." In a red sun dress that outlined her infinity sign curves, she stepped forward. Her cuffed to her stomach as she lowered her head to Zander.
"Woah uh."
"I am known as Phenex, Marquis Fenix of 26 Legions. Our rebellious prince here is one of the the Great Hell Prince's of 60 Legions."
"Woah, Hell has a monarchy? That's cool."
"It is actually a hierarchy of power of archedemons. Duke being the weakest with king being the strongest title one can achieve before becoming a devil."
"Marquis is next after Duke, Windbreak." The screen informed Zander.
"Got it. So baby boy here's stronger than you?" Zander's curiosity piqued.
"Currently, your Insignia is sealing our true power and restricting us in our physical forms but yes, Prince Sitri's power far outclasses my own."
"Okay." Rumbling from an empty stomach made the room quiet.
"My fault. Guess I'm hungry." He held his stomach, touching the fur.
"Wait." He turned to the screen who was patiently sitting next to a tree. "What happened to the bear?"
"After losing your arm, you went into a wild frenzy once your blessing was unlocked. The bear was defeated after an hour of crushing it's head with your foot." She explained.
"Damn." Was Zander's reaction.
"An hour of stepping on it's skull? Humans are truly persistent." Fenix thought.
"You passed out soon after due to blood loss and I was born afterwards. I stopped the bleeding using spells from the
"Wow." Zander was surprised. "I mean, aye." He laughed lightly. "Not even a super bear can stop ya boy. Ya feel me!" He flexed his only arm.
"If I may." Fenix intervened. "If there are organs and muscles left, I could cook for Master."
Zander got all fluttery. "Master.....Stop it~"
"You fall too quick." He thought.
"Ah shut up. And yes, I'd like that. Scre-...." He stood there contemplating for a second. "Calling her screen is kinda weird."
"You needed something, Windbreak?" She tilted her head to the side like a confused puppy.
"I can't keep callin you screen. So uh....do you have something I can call you by?"
"I do not have a specific label you may call me by. However, you may provide a name to call me by." She suggested.
"A name....well....It can't be somethin lame...."
"Sestia."
"Nah that don't fit her. How bout Harmony?"
"Harmony, I shall register Harmony as my name."
"Anyways, give Fenix the meat. Fenix cook for everyone." Both of them opened the inventory. He saw the Crystallake Deer antlers and took a piece out.
"Me and Sitri are going on a walk. While you guys prepare the food." He walked over to Sitri who was yelling without a voice.
"Let's go bro." Zander put his arm around their shoulders.
Sitri didn't have a choice but to follow quietly.
_______
Rustling leaves with the forced picking sound of vegetation being snapped away from their branch. Harmony held a collection of scarlet leaves in the inventory and kept placing said leaves into the inventory.
Fenix was finding boulders. The boulders would be molded into different objects. A large pot, a pan, cooking utensils, forks, spoons, everything needed to prepare and eat food.
She often glanced over at Harmony. "I'm curious. Harmony."
She stopped picking leaves and faced Fenix. "Yes?"
"Is Windbreak human?"
"Yes."
"He's human?! But there's no human recorded history that has absolute control over a archdemon let alone a Prince of Hell. It'd be more believable if he was a Jotun or Elf but a human? Even with Lucifer's Blessing, he should not hold that much power of an Archedemon." Her concern and interest was increasing. "Does he wield a codex?" Thoughts conjured in her mind with some consisting of modalities to piece together the likelihood of Zander controlling demons as he did before.
________
"The food has been prepared but they still haven't come back." Fenix chilled out against one of the purple trees.
"Windbreak and Prince Sitri is currently 4 miles away from our current location." She informed her.
"Why are they so far?"
"They have been in that exact location for 2 hours and 30 minutes."
"Huh?"
"What is this human up to?" She didn't understand why they've been gone for so long. Or why they were so far from them.
"I may contact Windbreak if you are in need of his presence."
"Thank you but I do not need such clo-"
"Contacting Windbreak."
"Harmony I do-"
"An immediate answer...."
Fenix was astonished once again. "I didn't think she'd have a form of tracking and contacting him. There was no signs of her using any magic either. Is this another blessing?" Fenix thought. She has no reason to doubt her however it is an unbelievable thought.
"Are you busy at this current moment, Windbreak?" It looked like she was having a conversation by herself. ...I contacted you because Fenix had some concerns. She wonders why you were away for such a long time. May I put you on speaker so you may speak with her?"
"There's no need, Harmony. I'll talk with Master when he comes ba-"
A loud excessive moan came from Harmony's body but it didn't have her pitch.
"You are on speaker, Windbreak."
"Wha- Um Hello? Master?" There was enough confusion to give around.
"Yeah? What you want?" The moans were continuous. They didn't belong to Harmony or Zander.
"Well...I wanted know of your current whereabouts."
"Oh Uh, I'm like...hold up real quick." He went completely quiet.
"He's muted himself." Said Harmony.
"Muted? What do yo-"
"I'm back, I'm at the edge of the forest. Also there's a change of plans." Moving clothes, mixed with heavy breathing came from Harmony. "Sitri put this on. We're leaving the forest. Some things just popped up. C'mere Sitri I'll help you. But uh."
"Master wait, Prince Sitri is still with you?"
"Yeah, I thought I said I wanted to talk to him."
"Then what was that noise? Were you fighting another bear?"
"Nah but let me tell you what happened. I'm walkin with Sitri right. We start talkin and mans tried usin some type of magic on me. What you say Sitri? What you say? "No mortal can resist this." Or sumn. Buddy thought bein seductive was the way to go but I tore that ass up!"
"Wait, Sitri tried seducing you?" Fenix asked.
"Yeah! What's this shit called, Hypothetical?" Zander's breathing calmed down a lot. "Hypnosis! and some other shit. Whatever it was, it don't matter. Sitri clean it up. I ain't bout to walk round this bitch with a sticky dick."
"Sti- Oh. Oh~" The pieces of the puzzle came together.
"But all that talk of power got me thinkin. Maybe if I prove to him that I'm that guy he'd shut up. But I didn't need to do that." Fenix could hear the realization in his voice. "But I got a bit of a understanding on how this shit works. So I'ma come through and we'll get to movin. Okay?"
"May I offer a suggestion, Master?" Asked Fenix
"Wassup?" Said Zander.
"Harmony and I could move to you."
"Uh, Y'all know which way I went?"
"I have a lock on your current location. I could serve as a guide for Fenix and meet with you in the future." Harmony informed.
"Go ahead then. We'll wait here."
"The call ended."
"..." The silence spoke for itself.
______
10 minutes later.
The two came into view. Zander waved at them while Sitri was quiet on top of a tree branch.
Sitri was wearing the Black Coat. It looked like a dress on him.
Harmony was surrounded by three bear cubs.
"Master, where are we headed to?" Harmony asked.
"Glad you asked beautiful." He gestured them to follow him. Sitri hopped off the tree and followed suit with the rest.
"I was told to find my Throne at Yggdrasil. And if memory serves me right. Each realm has a World Tree in it."
It pans out to the horizon. The moon surveying the land with it's vibrant hues. The mountain peaks reaching the heavens with a large trunk towering over them.
Anyone with working eyes can visibly see the distance from the enormous tree that pierce the sky. It is no mere hike. Even from such a vast
"And you want us, to travel with you to see Nachtheim's World Tree."
"Exactl- Nachtheim?"
"Correct." Said Harmony.
"What's a Nachtheim?" A curious Zander.
"The Realm of The Night. Home of the Dark Elves, Night Elves, and Dawn Faeries. Dawn Faeries are just sprites of angels. Those goofy two shoes." Sitri commented.
"They're neighbors to the Ernst Kind and close to Alfheim." Fenix put her input into it.
"Wait, I thought this was a place Selene made?"
Fenix stepped up. "Her mother created Nachtheim. When Selene the goddess of the moon took her place, she gained true authority over Nachtheim and rules this realm." Behind her pokerface was shock value. "He speaks as if he knows The Goddess of the Moon, mother of the four seasons. Is the- it can't be."
"Sounds like a fairy tale but it's not like you guys can lie to me." He pulled up his inventory and pulled out another Crystallake deer antler.
His molars fragmented the deer antler. "Taste like pretzels." Was his initial thought.
"But yeah, we're going to Nachtheim's WORLD TREE!" His hand waved to them. "Let's go!" He was ecstatic and didn't want to take long no matter the distance.
Sitri wasn't pleased by his behavior. "Why did Lucifer give HIM his insignia?"
Harmony followed behind Zander with no hesitation. And so, they're actual adventure begins.
