In the center of a dimension existing beyond the bounds of time and space, an old magus of unparalleled power and enigmatic nature, resided. This was his personal sanctuary, a realm of his own creation where he could peer into the vast tapestry of the omniverse; observing countless dimensions, worlds, and timelines.
Seated upon a throne-like structure that seemed to float in a space of swirling colors, gazing into the fabric of reality itself. His eyes, a mix of wisdom and mischief, sparkled with an otherworldly light. With a wave of his hand, he conjured a shimmering sphere and a book that seemed to encapsulate a scene—a scene unlike any other.
"Ah, Hello! my dear spectators," the man's voice echoed, reaching out into the emptiness of his realm. "Welcome to a tale woven in the threads of existence, a story that balances reality and fantasy. A story of a young but burdened soul, dancing in the palm of fate, and the choices that shape not only his destiny but the very foundation of the world around him. But before that let me tell you a tale before his birth."
"Oh, forgive me, for where are my manners. Let me to introduce myself, I am Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg and I will be your narrator for this evening."
As Zelretch's voice echoed through the dimension, a new scene unfolded within the shimmering sphere, its image expanding within the empty dimension. It was a world unlike any other—a realm steeped in magic, where gods and demons waged an eternal struggle. In the midst of this tumultuous lands of Rath'nia stood Ryu Hanbin and Kivye, warriors of unparalleled strength.
Standing at the edge of reality, between Rath'nia and Perdition, Ryu and Kivye face off against the foe who has caused so much destruction, THE DEMON GOD: ORMPHLAUS. With the clash of swords and the roars of magic, the battlefield was a chaotic symphony of power and fury. Ryu, a stalwart warrior with determination etched into his every move, his blade gleaming with a fierce resolve. Beside him stood Kivye, a force of nature herself, wielding her divine magic with elegance and precision.
Ormphlaus, the Demon God, emanated an aura of malevolent power that distorted the very air around him. His form was a twisted amalgamation of evil and inferno, a creature born from the nightmares of mortals. Each swing of his weapon sent shockwaves through the land, threatening to tear reality apart. The battle was a dance of destruction, a clash of ideologies as much as it was a clash of forces. Ryu and Kivye fought not only for their world but to end this wretched nightmare. Their determination was a beacon against the abyss, a testament to the strength of mortal will.
As the battle raged on, Ryu's sword clashed against Ormphlaus's blade, sending sparks and shockwaves in every direction. Kivye's magic countered the demon's sorcery, weaving spells of power that fought against the encroaching evil.
I narrate with a mixture of fascination and admiration. "Ah, the epic clash of powers, the struggle that shapes history and resonates throughout the universe. Such battles are the crucible of legends, where heroes are forged, and destinies intertwine."
As the battle rages on, Kivye sensed a growing disturbance on the other side of the metaphysical plane—a malevolent portal that threatened to unleash more of Ormphlaus's dark forces into their world. With her heart filled with determination, she made a quick decision.
"Ryu," she called out, her voice resonating with divine power. "Keep him busy. I'll deal with the portal."
Without waiting for Ryu's response, Kivye flew towards the menacing portal. Abhorrent energies swirled around it, a gateway to the demon god's realm. Kivye knew that closing it permanently might be beyond her reach, but she could buy them precious time. Preventing any more of the demonic angles from escaping into Rath'nia
Drawing upon her divine abilities, she channeled her energy into the very essence of the spiritual plane. Ice magic surged through her, and with a commanding gesture, she summoned towering pillars of enchanted ice. The pillars shot up from the spiritual ground, encircling the portal and forming a temporary seal. The dark energies of the portal clashed against the icy barricade, but Kivye's magic held strong. With each passing moment, her divine power infused the ice, making it unyielding and resilient. The portal sputtered and hissed, unable to expand its influence further.
"This should be good for now, but it won't last long. We have to finish him off before it breaks."
With the portal temporarily sealed, Kivye wasted no time. She flew back towards Ryu. Her presence provided much-needed support, and together, they pressed forward. As she approached, her divine aura infused Ryu with newfound strength and resilience.
Ryu's sword, empowered by his determination and Kivye's divine strength, clashed against Ormphlaus's blade with renewed vigor. The demon god, now hindered by the sealed portal, found himself gradually losing ground.
Ryu's movements became more precise. He anticipated Ormphlaus's every strike, sidestepping with agility and countering with calculated precision. Then, in a moment of sheer brilliance, Ryu saw his opening. Without hesitation, he disarmed Ormphlaus, destroying his blade. Its dust spreads throughout the spiritual plane. The demon god staggered backward, momentarily vulnerable.
Ryu seized this opportunity. In a blur of motion, he thrust the blade into the demon's chest. Dumbfounded, Ormphlaus vomited silver liquid. "Impossible, I am a god! It shouldn't end like this. You're just human!" "SHUT UP!" Ryu retracted his blade and hacked away at the demon's body, piece by piece, flesh by flesh, and limb by limb. Until nothing remained but a head on the ground.
Frustrated, the demon starts to spew his hatred. "DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU, BOTH." the demon continued to scream, his voice carrying an otherworldly echo. The head on the ground sneered and spat venom, his malevolence unabated even in defeat. Ryu's breath steadied, and he took a step back, wiping the silver liquid and sweat from his brow with the back of his hand. Gathering his resolve, he responded with a calm and unwavering voice, "This ends now! All the life you have ruined, Everyone from Earth and Rath'nia have suffered because of you."
Ryu lifted his sword over his head, ready for the finishing blow. Suddenly, the demon god started chanting in another language.
"HAHAHAHAHAH, this is not over, you shit stain fucks. I'll come back when you both least expect it." Ormphlaus continued his chant, his voice rising in a malevolent crescendo. "I shall return," he declared, laughter bubbling up from the depths of his wicked soul. "I will rise again, and I shall destroy everything you hold dear. You and all that you love will drown in despair."
Ryu's grip on his sword tightened, and a surge of determination coursed through him. He would not allow this vile being to escape, to return and wreak havoc once more. With a swift, decisive motion, Ryu swung the broad side of his sword downward, (*Crunch, Splat *) the demon god's head was reduced to a gruesome mess of gore and bone, and the sinister laughter died abruptly. Silence descended upon the battlefield, broken only by the crackling of flames and the heavy panting of the victor.
Ryu released his grip on his sword, about to pass out, Kivye rushed to him catch him in her arms. With tears in her eyes, both of them comforting each other in a tight embrace. "Its finally over, isn't it?" Kivye held him tighter, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Yes, Ryu, it's finally over. We did it." Thinking that they can relax after the battle, the metaphysical plan starts to shake. "Without Ormphlaus, this dimension will soon break apart. Kivye said.
"I can't move, leave without me." A shallow response from Ryu. "NO! I won't leave you." She cries. Just as despair threatened to engulf them, a blinding light enveloped them, whisking them away from the crumbling dimension. Moments later, they found themselves in a place that transcended their understanding, a realm suffused with ethereal beauty and tranquility.
They were in awe, taking in the splendor of their surroundings. Before them, a figure shrouded in darkness emerged, her presence commanding yet comforting.
"You both have done well, Ryu, Kivye." Kivye stood before the woman, her heart filled with a mixture of reverence and gratitude. She inclined her head in acknowledgment, humbled by her presence. "Goddess Kivier" Kivye said, trying to hold back her tears.
"Th…Thank you," Ryu struggled, his voice sincere but weak. "But where are we? What is this place?"
The goddess of darkness regarded them with a serene expression, her eyes gleaming with an otherworldly aura. "You have arrived in the realm of transcendence, a place where the boundaries between worlds blur and the essence of existence thrives."
"It is beautiful." Ryu says while trying to get up on his own feet.
"It is, isn't it?. This is where the soul of all living beings returns to, The Ether Stream." Kivye responded to Ryu's bewilderment.
"If Ormphlaus has gotten his hands on me or any of the other Goddesses, then he would have entered this place. All would have been lost. Thank you, Ryu and to you, my daughter. I cannot express how grateful everyone of us are to the both of you." The goddess bowing her head.
She looks straight at Ryu, with a serious yet sadden expression. "You have suffered, all those years in the -RED VALLEY- and you went out of your way to save this world. That is why I will grant you a wish and send you back home, the same promise the Ormphlaus used to bring you here."
With gratitude Ryu spoke his wish, looking into the eyes of Kivye "I want to spend the rest of my life with her."
"That is impossible!" the woman spoke. The weight of the goddess's words settled upon Ryu and Kivye, their expressions shifting from gratitude to a sense of shock tinged with sorrow. Their hearts intertwined with the unspoken desire to remain together, come what may. "We cannot be together?" Kivye's voice trembled with an emotion he struggled to contain.
The goddess met their gaze with a solemn nod, her expression reflecting the immutable laws of the universe that governed their destinies. "The laws of this universe forbid the merging of realms and beings from disparate worlds. To violate these laws would invite untold devastation. Ryu, you would not be able to stay here. When you die, your soul will disintegrate, There will be no afterlife, no haven. Kivye, would not be able to survive outside this dimension."
Kivye's hand tightened around Ryu's, her voice a whisper filled with unshed tears. "But we have fought so hard, endured so much. Is there no way?"
When the atmosphere becomes heavy, a deep, gruffy voice begins to echo. "My, my, my. what do we have here? a human defeating a god. Nothing special about him, just fighting with determination, will and a bit of divinity. FASCINATING!" Yours truly appears behind the couple, scanning with my own eyes at the singularity before me. "The Hell?" Ryu, with Kivye in his arms, jumped back in surprise. "Who are you" they say in unison. I chuckled, a playful glint dancing in my eyes as I regarded the trio before me. "Oh, I'm merely an observer, a wanderer of the boundless cosmic tapestry. I come and go as I please, drawn to moments of intrigue and marvel such as this. The name is Zelretch."
I waved my hand dismissively, as if the intricacies of existence were a mere trifling matter. "How did you get here and what is your reason?" The goddess spoke with a hint of disdain. My expression softened, a glimmer of respect illuminating his enigmatic visage. "There is nothing in the omniverse that is forbidden to me. Besides that, Your battle against the god Ormphlaus intrigued me, boy! and I felt compelled to witness the outcome of this clash between mortal valor and evil might. But alas, your story is over, or is it?"
"Well, I saw all I needed to see. Auf Wiedersehen. Tschüss! (Until we see each other again. Goodbye!)." As I start to fade away from that dimension, "Please wait, Mr. Zelretch." I stopped in my disappearing act, "Yes? Dear Lady." I said with a slight smirk. "You said that you are an observer, you witness the omniverse. Would you help us find a new life?" Kivye implored.
"That would depend, what kind of life do you seek, my dear? A simple existence, free from the trials of otherworldly conflict and cosmic calamity?" Kivye met my gaze with a sense of resolute determination, her voice unwavering as she spoke her truth. "I want a life of peace. I want to be able to build a home with Ryu together without the threat of chaos looming over us."
My dissatisfied expression lingered for a moment, my gaze shifting between Ryu and Kivye with an air of playful disappointment. "How dull," I mused, the words laced with a hint of wry amusement. "To seek a mundane existence when the boundless cosmos offers endless possibilities. Such a waste of potential, don't waste my time with such trifling matters?"
Ryu, sensing the tension in the air, interjected with a touch of caution in his voice. "Is there a problem with the life we wish to lead? Can you help us?" My disappointment lingered, but I still offered a smile, a sense of mischief returning. "Oh, there's nothing inherently wrong with your wish, my dear friends. It's just that simplicity and mundanity can be so... uninteresting." "Then, let's make a deal." Ryu responded. "Go on!" I spoked, intrigued
Ryu's resolve solidified; his words laced with a hint of defiance. "You are a man that see everything as a stage, a play for amusement. Then we can make it interesting. We will weave a life that will entertain even the most jaded of spectators. Give us the chance to live in peace, and I will ensure that our story continues to becomes a legend worthy of remembrance." My lips quirked into a grand smile. "Very well. I shall grant your wish but heed my warning. If your tale begins to lose its allure, if the mundane creeps in where excitement should thrive, I will not hesitate to alert -ALAYA- to sever the threads of that word. Your fate rests in your hands."
"ALAYA?" they questioned each other.
With a nod of understanding, they accepted the terms, hearts brimming with determination to craft a life that would transcend the boundaries of normalcy and forge a legacy that would resonate through the annals of existence. "While we were conversing, I already found a world you both can live in, but there is a catch. Kivye's divinity needs to be dealt with, that is why I suggest reincarnation. I'll use the essence of the new world as a foundation and" while plucking a strand of her hair. "recreate your new body though it. Along with a seal to hide your power." Light gathers in my hand and in an instance a new body was formed. "Why must my divinity be sealed?" the young lady questioned.
"The gods in this dimension are a bit territorial, if a new divinity is discovered the world balance will shatter. Now that is done with, the final step will hurt." I placed my hand on Kivye's heart and pulled out her soul in a flash, a black flame hovered in my palm, placing said flame into the new body. "Ahaaaaa" she yelled.
Her old body began dissolving, the particles flowing into the goddess herself. "How do you feel? Hurt anywhere?" the young man said concerned. "The pain died down; I feel a bit weaker." she responded while catching her breath. "Now, this is where I take my leave. Enjoy you new live." I handed a letter to them before leaving. "Open this when you get to the other side." I vanished, leaving behind a portal to the new world.
Ryu carries Kivye closer to the portal, a new world for them to discover. Kivier embraces them in a loving way. "I am sorry, both of you. I am a failure of a goddess. With all the power I posses, I was unable a give you two what you truly desire." sheading tears of her own helplessness. Kivye, her eyes filled with understanding and empathy, spoke gently "It is fine, Mother. You have done more than we could have ever asked for," Kivye reassured her, her voice filled with gratitude and understanding.
Ryu, his gaze filled with compassion, spoke gently to the goddess. "Your guidance and assistance have brought us this far. We are grateful for the chance to start anew, to build a life that we can call our own. Thank you for everything. "Kivier kissed them both on their forehead, her touch imbued with a sense of warmth, blessing and maternal affection. "May this new world be the haven you seek, where your love can flourish without restraint. Farewell, my dear children."
Ryu and Kivye found themselves standing in the heart of a lush, vibrant forest in their new world. With a sense of anticipation, Ryu opened the letter from Zelretch, its contents revealing the enigmatic wanderer's peculiar nature.
"Congratulations on your new beginning in this world of infinite possibilities. As much as I would like to claim that my actions stem from pure altruism, I must admit that I am not one to dole out charity without purpose. Nevertheless, I cannot leave you empty-handed. In this new world, you shall find that the AGE OF GODS is a wonder and turmoil, where the ordinary and the extraordinary collide in a dance of balance and chaos. Seek the harmony within the chaos, and you shall find what you desire. I leave you with this small gift, a token of my acknowledgment of your resilience and your unwavering spirit. Bury this letter as instructed and let the magic of this world respond to your actions.
With the utmost curiosity and a touch of whimsy,
Zelretch"
Ryu, glancing at Kivye with a mixture of curiosity and determination, followed the instructions to the letter. As he pressed the letter into the earth, a sense of anticipation filled the air, and the ground seemed to shimmer with a faint glow. Within moments, a transformation began to take place, and the very earth beneath their feet shifted and reshaped itself.
Before their eyes, the letter dissolved into the ground, and from its place, a small house emerged, its quaint façade nestled amidst the verdant embrace of the forest. The structure stood as a testament to my enigmatic nature, a gift that would serve as their sanctuary in this new world.
Ryu and Kivye approached the house, their hearts filled with gratitude for the unexpected shelter that had materialized before them. As they crossed the threshold, a sense of warmth and tranquility enveloped them, and they knew that this humble abode would be their haven, a place where they could begin anew and forge a life of peace and fulfillment.
