"Let's go, this place is no longer safe." Reign said as he walked toward Wolf and the others who all seized him up and were on high alert.
"I haven't been possessed or switched by anybody, I just can't tell you what happened, just like before, certain things … they can't be told to others without consequences, big consequences." Reign said as the entire temple suddenly started shaking.
Wolf and the others glanced at each other before following Reign and exiting the temple that had suddenly started falling.
To be more exact, it looked as if it was being swallowed by the ground. The temple sunk deeper and deeper before it completely disappeared.
"Reign, what happened inside that temple, where did you go?" Shadow asked Reign who sighed before looking at him.
"I spoke to soone, that's all I can tell you guys."
As he finished talking, Reign turned around and started walking, the others soon following him as he reminisced about what had just taken place.
The mont Reign looked at the wall, he froze in place as his mind seemingly stopped working. Even Aethion, who was inside his consciousness, had spaced out as well, a look of horror on his face.
The entire consciousness of Reign started shaking, and the sea of lightning started shifting and changing, as did the light and darkness around it. Even the copy deep inside Reign had a solemn expression on his face as he could do nothing to stop it.
That only lasted for an instant, however.
For Reign, it seed much longer as his entire being was on the verge of being destroyed. And that all happened simply because he saw a single word on that wall.
Before he was about to completely collapse, Reign disappeared and was brought to a garden.
Reign's presence in the garden actually cald him down and allowed his body and consciousness to relax. The sea of lightning beca calm again, as did the light and darkness. The consciousness was no longer shaking and was on the verge of collapse.
Reign looked forward and sighed.
"Is this another eting via my consciousness, or have you brought my real body over here, Sir Raziel?"
Raziel smiled at Reign as he leaned back in the chair.
"You know, you are one of the rare Nephilim, no, one of the rare beings in this universe that will dare call by na, little Reign."
"I only dare do so because you seem to not care about such matters."
"And you are correct in believing so."
"You … you and Cyrus … I saw it on the murals, you fought, a long ti ago … you … you fought against one another, trying to gain control of the planet."
"Yes, it is a bit different from what you think, however, as the Cyrus I fought against was not truly Cyrus."
"You won."
"Correct."
"And Cyrus beca the Will, why?"
"That was the only way I could save him back then, and even later, when I was able to create a body for him, he said no, he wanted to repent for what happened, even though there was no need for him to repent for anything, but he is a stubborn bastard, that brother of mine, so he decided that he will spend all eternity as the Will of the planet, forever looking after it and keeping it safe."
"You seem to have already known that Cyrus is my brother?"
"Yes, the murals showed it."
"What … what did I read, I can't even rember what that was on the wall."
"My na, you read my na," Raziel said with a solemn expression as Reign clearly heard Aethion gasp inside of him and tremble in fear.
"Your … na?"
"Yes, to be more exact, you read my true na."
"I don't understand, I have said true nas before, even those of other gods, like Zeus, it never did anything."
"That is not a true na, nor is yours."
"What?" Reign asked with confusion as Raziel chuckled.
"The true na that has been given to you and your friends is not a true na, to be more exact, it is more like an embryo of sorts, a fake true na that holds little power."
"With that true na, a powerful being could indeed use it to find your location, as well as to gain so information about you, but that is all."
"A true na is given by the Old Tongue, the oldest language in the universe, one that was called ancient even back when I had just started exploring the universe."
"The Old Tongue is a language that is the first civilization in the universe had created after gaining a high connection with mana, as well as other powers of the universe."
"Each symbol, each letter of the language is connected to mana and the universe, holding imnse power with it."
"The Old Tongue has been forbidden to be used for anything but true nas because of its danger, if you were to say 'die' by using it, for example, the person in front of you would die, but it depends on what 'die' you said."
"It is a very specific language and one word can have an untold number of anings depending on how you say it, saying 'die' can an physical death, spiritual, the death of a soul, ambition …"
"If you used it against sobody more powerful than you, then you would suffer a backlash and die."
"It is very dangerous, thus prohibited, not because the system or the other powers of the universe fear that it would kill them, but because many of their own people would die by using it, that is just how it is."
"So, the na I read on the wall … it was written in the Old Tongue?"
"Correct, once a person reaches the realm of a God, they will gain their real true na, one written in the Old Tongue, the true na of gods contains their very essence, no matter where one is, if you dare say the true na, that person will hear you and imdiately notice you."
"It is also very dangerous for mortals like you, after all, it contains the essence of that being, the powers they have, and their true form, simply by reading my true na, you were about to collapse in an instant, if not for noticing it, you would have either died or transford into a monster."
"Why was that there then?"
"It shouldn't have been there, I have never left my true na anywhere, it's too dangerous for others to see it, which ans that sobody had placed it there, I do not know why, however."
"So, the 'true' nas and the others have, they're useless?"
"No, I never said that."
"The true nas given before godhood are like I said, embryos of what your real true na will be like, for you, for example, your true na will be Reign, even in the Old Tongue, the only question is what kind of 'Reign' exactly, how will it be written and spoken is yet to be determined."
"But the true nas have already started influencing you and your friends, you must have noticed that you quickly started changing when the ga started, your thoughts and actions were not the sa as the actions of the people around you."
Reign suddenly froze as he stared at Raziel who nodded his head.
"Possessing the na 'Reign', you beca more comfortable in fighting others and claiming territories, no matter who it was, you don't shy away from conquering areas and actually look forward to it, you want to 'Reign' over them, that is the change that was brought by you gaining that true na."
"Your friends as well, Shadow, a young man who is quite hotheaded and usually does things flamboyantly, beca more and more reserved and started thinking ahead, he now plans his battles and sticks to the shadows, just as his na suggests."
"Beast turned from a scrawny young man that feared fighting into a person that will easily even fuse with beasts and rip apart his enemies, he has also beco less scrawny compared to before."
"Wolf has fully beco a part of your group and cares about it greatly, just like a wolf cares for his pack."
"Tank has beco the shield of your group, always ready to place himself in front of others to 'tank' a hit and keep you safe."
"Greenie, or should I say, Trygve, has beco one of the most trusted beings you have, always there to do whatever needs to be done, never disappointing, never letting you down."
"See, Reign, even without you noticing, all of you have been influenced by your true nas, all of you have changed, beco more and more akin to the nas that were given to you."
"That is why true nas are now given so early on, they allow one to subtly change, becoming what they are destined to be easier and faster, so don't think of it as being manipulated or forcefully changed, a true na tells of what you truly are, it just influences you and allows you to beco that faster."
(AN: Took slightly over 800 chaps, but we have finally started getting involved in true nas and what they an, been looking forward to this. )
