I ran and ran and ran. I didn't have any destination in my mind. Before I knew it, it was night time and the lights had come on.
I could hear guards calling my name. They were all still mortals with the highest being a rank 7. I could easily erase my presence with my assassin mode.
"Prince Kevin!, Prince Kevin!" the guards called but I had no intention letting them find me. I continued to run until I was in a garden. I decided to hide there for sometime before I set off again.
I looked around and I noticed that this place was familiar. Then I remembered, this was my brother's personal garden.
He never let anyone come in, even the gardeners. Once a maid accidentally wandered into the garden and he beat her up and got her fired.
No one ever came here except from him and he was currently on a trip with his friends for 2weeks. 'He'll be back in 5 days.' I thought. 'The perfect place to hide.'
I went to a dry fountain that had the statue of ancestor Sariel Paragus in the middle.
This was the first time I'd say it to a man but his beauty was unmatched. He could even make men turn heads. His wings were more majestic than any I had ever seen.
I walked towards the statue to look at it a bit more closer.
*sigh*
I sat down to start thinking. I shifted myself a little so that I could rest my back on the fountain but something strange happened. I entered the statue. It was just an illusion all along to cover a gate or a door.
I found myself dropping six feet down. I quickly brought out my wings and I flapped them to bring myself 6 inches away from broken legs.
*phew*
"That was close." I said. I looked around and I saw myself in a passage with weird ancient drawings on the side, like the ones the Egyptians used back on earth.
I looked at them and they didn't make any sense to me until the system deciphered it for me. The system began to say everything in my head as I walked down looking at the drawings.
'In the old era called the era of beginnings, 50 generations ago. The world was without any lifeform and the first living thing descended on Mersus which was just a space with no land.
A small being with white wings that was so holy and pure that that morning, noon and evening descended. Light shone on the world and the celestial bodies called the sun and the moon and the stars came to existence.
Then another being descended. This one had no wings but had different elements overflowing from it's body. This being wasn't holy but had an evil aura pouring out of its body.
The earth formed, water poured out, wind blew, fire raged in volcanoes, lightening played tunes in the skies, ice fell from the sky.
Everything seemed to be going peaceful until great earthquakes shook the world, the seas and oceans turned into flood, volcanoes spilled lava and fire danced with the wind, the winds turned into tornadoes that blew and destroyed everything in it's path.
Wormholes opened up and swallowed everything. Everything was out of control.
Then, another being descended onto Mersus. This one had immense power flowing out of it. It was elementless. Suddenly the power flowing out of it took the same elements as the others beside it.
The disasters multiplied in power because of that. It looked like there was no hope until the the fourth being descended.
All the disasters that were destroying Mersus stopped. The broken earth was mended. Trees and plants came up. Fruits were ripe on the trees. Everything was peaceful. Birds and all animals and beasts walked on land and-'
I cut the system short of it's words. "Wait beasts walked on land. What of dungeons." 'There is no data on it, host.' the system answered.
"Continue."
'A strange power came onto these little four beings and they grew in size and became adults. These four beings were nothing but little babes when they descended and
$###$$$##$$$$@@@@###$##$#$()((##$#$.'
"System, what wrong!" I asked.
'Host, there isn't enough data to process from these paintings again.' the system answered. I looked closely and I noticed that remaining part of the painting had been scratched out as if the person that put it there didn't want anyone to see the rest.
"Dang it." I continued to walk down the passage and I reached a dead end. I looked up and I saw a hole there. There wasn't any foothold and I had to press myself against the side of the hole to get up. It was big enough to fit an adult and as a four year old it was too big for me so I slipped many times.
I finally reached the top. I looked around and I saw another passage like the one from before and all the paintings had been scratched out like the one down there.
I was standing in the middle of the passage with two ends. Left and right. I decided to take my left side until I heard some footsteps.
I quickly looked around from for somewhere to hide and I saw a vent in the roof. I jumped in and I closed it carefully.
I followed the footsteps and through sound and my extra sense. "Ugh." I quickly covered my mouth. I couldn't help it as the space was too small and clearly not made for people crawling through.
"Did you hear something." one of the two people walking down there said. "Must be a rat." the other said.
The second voice sounded familiar but I just couldn't put a finger on it. They started to move again and I followed them by crawling slowly in the ceiling.
They stopped walking and I got my chance to look as there was another vent under me. I peered through the cracks to look at them. I decided to memorize their faces in case I needed to make a report later.
'A white skin man, looks Chinese, wearing red robe with the insignia of a man sitting in a lotus position. Black wings. Has a ponytail. The second man wears the same robes, white wings, has blonde hair, really looks like Alex.
Wait, Alex!, that's Alex!!!.'
