Jas had passed the test for the 40th floor and was granted full access. The passage that opened after the gate allowed him to reach the settlents and begin to encounter things he never expected to see.
Legends
In the middle of a huge city stood a minotaur and Theseus himself.
Theseus himself told Jas how a long ti ago he had killed the minotaur, one of the mythical monsters in the tower, even though it was not very powerful, on the 40th floor.
It was a wonderful story. It was good to hear the story of Theseus, which he had seen in the books of his world, and now he could see a golden statue of the event in front of him.
No one could send any ssages to Jas, even though the tower's ssage restriction had disappeared. Strangely, these holy and powerful gods and goddesses, who had even killed other gods in their ti, were now embarrassed, like a couple of five-year-old children.
Jas realized that this strange silence was actually making him sleepy. I think the 90 days of ditation and the Star Magic energy that ca with it were starting to wear off.
Or rather, Jas could feel this energy every ti he looked at the sky. Even if there were no stars in the sky, the energy seed to be stored sowhere for Jas to absorb.
It was as if the sky was connected between the floors of the tower, it was really interesting.
This ant that Jas was still trying to move without using his Star Magic ability and the energy from it, which of course made him sleepy.
After finding a place to stay and falling asleep, he opened his eyes to a strange vision.
It took him an incredibly fast ti to realize that he was in a dream.
There were flowers of different colours and butterflies on the flowers, in the air or on the ground.
Jas was in a room. A large glass window, huge and shaped like a church, let in the sunlight. And Jas was watching a woman he had never seen before.
She was a very tired-looking woman, dancing in the middle of the butterflies while scaring them away.
Jas felt a strange kinship with this woman, or rather it would not be right to call it a kinship, it was more like empathy.
Jas felt sorry for this woman dancing in front of him without a partner, he understood her loneliness. This woman was none other than Luna. Of course, Jas didn't know that. He couldn't even see her face.
She was humming sothing strange, a song...a lody and words:
"Hmmmm...Hmmm...Laaaahaaa...Oh God, hear my voice, my fearful plea. I see them fall and drown in the seas. Help oh God if you won't be here, we all will fall and burn in the seas."
After each lody and word Jas heard, he just stood there waiting...He knew these words very well. It was the strange...eerie yet hopeful song his mother sang to Jas every night before bedti.
"30 Empires have fallen only in his hands, dungeons were conquered and owners were burned alive. Oh God, can't you see? Hear oh our desperate plea. But the only answer we found...the hellish destruction you see."
The woman's voice was thin, very thin, so sweet, so perfect and heartwarming, as if she was speaking directly to the soul.
"Burning alive the mother hell and searching loved ones once we lost. The betrayal failure handing hatred but I still see them fall. Oh God hear our plea, we really sought love. Oh heavens can't you feel it? They all are wraths that wondering hell."
Jas couldn't take it anymore, he suddenly took a few steps forward and placed one hand on the back of this woman he didn't know...couldn't even see her face and held the other. As soon as he was in a dancing position, he began to accompany her:
"Searching for eternal might, they all fall underground. Oh God the mighty one, the creator of everyone. Oh God the rciful one, let us rest so we can plea. We can see the darkness beyond so let those souls be the light we want."
"Embrace all, climb to the end and see what lands beyond mother hell. Oh God, we can see, the flas we searched every year. The flas we see, burned the torches, they let us beyond the great darkness."
"Oh God, the mighty one, let us plea once again. We all wanted the fallen ones to be under the ground. We fight and see everyone lose themselves because of fallen ones. So we plea, please let us be, everything we always, oh wanted to be."
"So oh God, the mighty one, let us fight side by side. So oh God, the mighty one, lent us the power to bury them under the ground."
With each passing second, the joy and happiness inside Jas grew, but in his heart, he felt as if these feelings were not his.
But he kept looking at this woman whose face he couldn't see and trying to figure out what was happening, what this thing he was seeing...this dream or whatever it was.
Jas even started to look around, thinking that maybe he could see sothing.
Yet there was nothing in the space they were in but sunlight coming in through the windows and two people dancing.
The song...or rather the plea to God...in this case to Chaos itself, the creator, was over. Jas and the woman he was dancing with stopped and she gave him a big hug.
Jas suddenly felt a tremor in his body, he knew he was waking up, soone seed to be waking him up.
"We will win darling, I swear to you my precious husband Desmond." the white-haired woman suddenly said and with that Jas opened his eyes back to reality.
Seeing Ruby right in front of him, he continued to stare at her worried face, as if he didn't understand what was happening.
"Are you okay?" Ruby had said, and indeed Jas realized that he had never seen the woman in front of him look so worried before.
It was then that Jas realized that his whole body was wet, his body felt like it was on fire, so hot that the bed in the inn room was soaked through with his sweat.
He looked around with widened eyes and managed to see his daughter Miracle with tears in her eyes.
"What happened?" Jas suddenly questioned and was shocked by Ruby's answer:
"You were singing and suddenly you were sweating, your hair was on fire, there was blood on the bed. We couldn't wake you up."
When Jas managed to recover his shocked expression, he shook his head and then said, "I dreamt of soone...a white-haired woman I didn't recognize, her face was blurred, I couldn't see who it was..."
[What was she like?" Nyx suddenly texted, sothing important must have happened if she hadn't asked Jas if he was okay.
"She's elegant, a woman with an incredibly beautiful voice, but...that's not the point..." Jas muttered, wiping the sweat and blood from his face.
["What's the point?" Nyx asked out of the blue, and Jas, hearing this, said these words:
"Mother...That woman called Desmond, she called her husband...I think I saw a mory from the past." Jas replied.
After those words, the voices stopped, and no ssages ca to Jas, only the Titans standing in the hall of Olympus and Nyx and Erebus standing where they were, not even breathing.

"Jas...is he talking about Desmond's wife, really? We don't know her," Erebus suddenly questioned, breaking the silence and asking with great curiosity and fear at the sa ti.
As soon as Nyx, who was sitting on the throne, heard this question, she opened the ssage window again and sent another ssage to Jas:
"Jas, do you rember where you were, do you know anything about where you were in your dream?"
After Nyx's question, Jas said the following words:
"I don't know much, just a big glass with different shapes and sunlight coming in. I danced with this woman and we sang a song, a song my mom always sang to ."
After Jas' reply, Nyx shook her head and sent another ssage:
"The shapes that make up the glass, tell about them."
"Umm...The corners of the glass had triangles facing the centre of the glass, where the sunlight entered. The top of the glass was connected to the glass in an oval shape, like a classic church window. The centre of the glass had a round shape for the sunlight to enter, and every piece of glass was fogged except for this round shape." Jas answered this question.
Hearing this, Nyx suddenly began to think. It was obvious that this was a church, which is why Nyx carefully tried to rember all the Church of Night churches that had ever been built. Continue your adventure at My Virtual Library Empire
She soon found the answer.
"Jas, go back to the 20th floor. Go to the top of the tower of the eastern section of the main church, I think what you're in is not a room, it's a prayer chamber, it's a place that Desmond used...the purpose of it was to pray to Chaos," Nyx muttered.
With this, the goal was clear.

[Desmond] Jas, go back to the 20th floor. Go to the top of the tower of the eastern part of the main church, I think what you're in is not a room, it's a prayer area, it's a place that Desmond used...The purpose of that place was to pray to Chaos].
Jas had to move and make it happen fast.
