Two weeks after the birth of Haku and Cinthia we were hidden on the dark side of a moon of a planet called Lumin, this planet is the headquarters of the Church of Light, in this place, the only religion that exists is the one that serves the God of Light.
I was outside the cave where the Dungeon is open looking at the world we will soon invade when a familiar presence approaches .
"You know we're busy, right?" (I)
"I know, but I didn't have anyone else to ask for help." (Alan)
"You are a Hero, there are many people who can help you simply by being a Hero." (I)
"But none of them have the right set of skills for this, yet I didn't want to co to you." (Alan)
"Then why did you co? You know I'm in the middle of facing a bunch of Aliens from another Universe who are obsessed with at?" (I)
"I don't know what an Alien is, but as far as I understand, you are not fighting directly." (Alan)
"I already had to deal with 2 of their attacks and I captured people of their leadership, I can't just run into an attack against them without a plan, and for that, I need information, which I have been doing this last week until I had to change my plans." (I)
"Just explain to why I needed to co here?" (I)
"You and your children have pure Affinity with the elent of light, you are also strong and can take out a large number of individuals without being noticed." (Alan)
"All this not to ntion that 3 champions are on your side in case sothing goes wrong." (Alan)
"..." (I)
"Stop complaining, Zenos." (Kira)
"Our search for information has been futile, Elsaris is still recovering from the ambush where she barely made it out alive and Lilith is still venting her anger by playing with the prisoners." (Kira)
"I know that that's just one more reason for us to go..." (I)
"We have no more clues to go beyond the Swarm location, we need to take into account that even if we all go there we won't achieve anything, there are billions of enemies and as far as I know an Evil Religion of unknown strength, we can't go there." (Kira)
"..." (I)
Sigh
"While we wait for news from Navar, we can do sothing useful here." (Kira)
"All right..." (I)
Kira cos at from behind, her speed increased once more, she hugs from behind as she convinces to participate in this Hero of Justice's plan.
"You know, while you've been picking fights with new enemies, the old ones haven't stood still, the Church of Light has been making many more subtle moves." (Alan)
"The fight against the Demons of the Black Empire was an excuse for the people of that continent, we all knew that the battles we saw and participated in were just a small part of sothing much bigger." (Alan)
I already knew that my sisters told about it, Elizabeth died getting rid of several Demigod level individuals on the side of the Church of Light, and Caitlyn died destroying a teleportation portal that would bring the people of the Church of Light from another world for ours, that's how Rhaegal arrived in our world and ended up dying fighting Arash.
I'm sure there were other battles we don't know about, other Gods must have moved their forces, I didn't see the Temple of Blood move, but if two of my sisters moved and died fighting, then the Temple of Blood must have done sothing too.
"But what's your plan? Do you want to invade them to rescue people?" (I)
"There are not a few people, there are approximately 30,000 people, aged from 7 to 25 years old." (Alan) n0.0
"..." (I)
This is a large number of people, it can be considered the population of a city, for what this Hero is saying we have to rescue them, but what does the Church of Light want with these numbers of young people?
"You can explain this further later when everyone is present, just tell one thing, why call ?" (I)
"Don't give an excuse about having everything you need, soone with a space elent and similar Authority would be able to get all these people out of there quickly." (I)
"I myself can co up with several ideas on how to take care of it without getting involved or people with , I'm sure the Religion behind you has people much stronger than and Demigod level, so why co to ?" (I)
"If you lie again, I'm leaving now with everyone." (I)
"..." (Alan)
My sister Elizabeth told that all Religions have at least 1 Demigod with most having more than one, the Temple of Blood itself has 20 not counting my sisters who were above these 20 in power, so I know that this Hero does not make sense chasing having much stronger people behind him who could help, it just doesn't make sense.
He looks at and I see the frustration in his eyes, then he looks at the world above us, the sea is green and there are only 2 continents as far as I can see.
"You should understand if you close your eyes and try to ditate now, we're close enough for that from what Bianca said." (Alan)
"What are you talking about?" (I)
"It would be hard to explain, so do it and you'll understand." (Alan)
"..." (I)
"Don't worry, he's not our enemy and it doesn't cost anything to do that, he must have his reasons." (Kira)
"All good." (I)
I look at Kira, even hugging she keeps attention on all sides, she doesn't trust our situation either and is trying to tell to trust this Hero of Justice.
I look at Alan and see that his eyes have more weight in them, his Aura is also more contained and less fragile, and he doesn't seem to be the naive Hero I t going to the Elf Village anymore.
Sigh
I sat cross-legged and closed my eyes taking a deep breath, as we are on the moon with no breathable atmosphere the only thing that enters my lungs is energy, it's been a long ti since breathing is no longer sothing I do for oxygen, in fact even breathing it has beco more of a custom than a necessity.
In a few seconds I started to ditate, maybe because of muscle mory or sothing, the energies that I have started to circulate inside my body, and my mind empties as I feel my Aura and Authority spreading through my body.
In my mind the space full of stars and energy flows suddenly forms, I feel a reaction with my Authority, so I started to concentrate on it, soon a path forms at my feet, and in front of the vise forms one more ti, a black and white tree grows from the path in front of , 3 people appear, one being Hades standing next to while the other two are Cinthia and Haku each on one side of the tree that distorts forming a mirror showing this world, several lights blinking in the sa place, by reflex I reached out the hand that was a Dragon's claw and I touch one of the lights when it blinks going from one to the other.
"(Help please...)"
"(What should I do...)"
"(I'm going to kill them all... every single one of them...)"
"(They took mom... I want my mom...)"
"(I want power, I need more power...)"
"(I won't give up, there must be a way... there has to be a way...)"
"(My father said that as long as I sincerely believe and pray, my prayers will be answered, so please give strength... I don't want to give in... I can't give in...)"
"(As long as I live I will never give up, they cannot take my will away from ...)"
"..." (I)
"A world full of disappointnt, but still sothing to want." (Cinthia)
"I hear their voices if their wills can reach this far then mine will reach them too." (Haku)
"My blade will bring an end to those who discarded their will, their empty existence is a cri against those who continue in the path of their wills" (Cinthia)
"My hand will be extended to each one of them whose will has been tested and withstood without breaking, may their wills beco the fla that will change their lives" (Haku)
"All by will..." (Haku/Cinthia)
A blade that tears at those who turn the way and a hand that reaches out to those who walk the way, the blade that destroys and the hand that guides, the two faces of the will.
"..." (I)
Suddenly I open my eyes and yet I feel like I can hear whispers coming from the direction of the planet, I can feel Cynthia and Haku's power reaching out to through our connection, they seem to be wanting to follow the whispers, but I block it as I stand up looking at the Hero of Justice.
"What was this?" (I)
"Your answer, those we are going to rescue are those focused only on their will, people who have not surrendered to the Church of Light, but many of them are corrupted by pain, loss, loneliness, hatred, and many other evils, their only thing left is the desire not to give up." (Alan)
"They seek many different things, but they are all innocent people who must be helped, unfortunately, they don't trust anyone and won't follow orders even if it's to save themselves." (Alan)
"Not to ntion they are heavily guarded, getting them out is only half the job of rescue, they need sothing to relate to and unite them all with, sothing they know and feel in common, they need a path that takes them beyond the darkness." (Alan)
He looks at pointing his finger.
"You are the only Deity with Willpower-oriented Authority, I didn't lie when I said you had the right set of abilities you needed." (Alan)
