An: Sorry for no updates, busy with holiday and had no access to technology (phones broke), I never had enough time to give you guys a heads up... I'm really sorry, but im back with regular updates.
If the majority dislike the chapter just give me recommendations and I will redo the whole chapter.
Please tell me if something doesn't make sense. I redid some parts of the chapter a bit so some parts may have mistakes.
--------------------------------------------------
All the normal high gods there looked like they were about to cry. Some were even contemplating whether they should try stealing the sovereign armour.
The experts began sweating and some quickly went out to trade some items for more adamantium. The few that went out were probably peak or secretly ultimate experts.
Most experts and people instantly gave up, but they still didnt stop staring at the soveriegn armour, with lustful eyes. (Yes lustful.)
Rayne gave the burley white hooded bloak a fierce stare, surprisingly neither the hooded man nor woman backed down. They were wearing some white jacket, they're white hoods only let you see their mouth. (An: Think Assassins creed.) On their backs were red cloaks, that had intrictae white pattern.
They had some red body armor over their white jacket and pants, covering the chest, elbows, knees, shoulders and feet. The red armour had ancient white runs, that seemingly glowed profoundly and mysteriously.
Overall the intricate red and white designs over their amor made them look like formidable elites, probably from a powerful empire or world.
More importantly though, was the two circular metallic badges holding the cape to their shoulder. The white circular badges had an insignia of a red tiger.
Rayne: [Lets take this to another level...]
Rayne: *COUGH* The mumbling stopped. "2 quadrillion." Said Rayne calmly.
Rayne: [That's an 1/10 of our savings for the past 400 millions years. But still, with the sovereign armour, we can equip and send me and some of my supreme experts to the main worlds heaven or hell realm to hunt for ancient treasures the multiverse created when born, the tower of Darkros would be opened again soon, legend says there's one there, but no ones been able to find it. If we find even one, we can use it to rejoin with our true sect in the main world, they're worth even more than a lesser sovereign artifact after all! Even without an artifact, there are many other treasures!]
There are many dungeons and past homes that experts left behind. This multiverse allows people to use the parallel dimension portal, for an extreme price, even sovereigns find it unaffordable, most experts actually save to go to a new multiverse with new treasures. The experts that leave, usually leave behind a legacy to be remembered by, since they don't have any intentions of coming back for a long time or if they don't survive.
To use the portal, you need to win the primordial armor, in the lesser sovereign tournament. The armor will make it less likely you will be hurt crossing through. Although it's not necessary, it is a silent rule. Then you need to buy 2 portal keys. One for going, one for coming back, so you wont need to locate the portal again.
Only 3 experts of this multiverse have used it before (other than primordials) Even though its the dream of all experts. Darkros was one of them, he was only weaker than sovereign Po similar to the other three that used the portal.
These 3 experts created a tower in the hell, heaven and nether realm. Each tower has an unknown amount of floors, unimaginably tall and supposedly uses illusion magic and dimension magic, so supposedly even bigger.
Its filled to the brim with unique inhabitants and creatures bred and evolved by the experts themselves. Each floor is said to be as large as an entire plane in an average world.
White hooded man: "2 quadrillion and one." Said the man calmly. A hint of smile could be seen on his lips. He was obviously just joking around, to lighten the mood.
*BANG*
The man was punched on the arm by the girl beside.
Hooded man: "OWWW! Why did you do that!" whispered the man. Although he whispered, it was clearly heard and was a half shout.
The hooded man was rolling on the floor clutching his arm. His past elegance and brilliantly mysterious look gone.
Hooded girl: "It's like you want our clan to lose face, sometimes... Tch. You retard, you caused another scene." whispered the girl loudly.
Fenix: "BAHAHAA, look at that idiot rolling around! I like him, uncle, give them two a discount!" Said Fenix loudly.
The crowd, who were already surprised with the two used-to-be-majestic-and-mighty experts had their mouths gaping at that comment.
Zaq: "If that's what you want..." Sighed Zaq.
But unnoticingly, something major happened without them noticing.
Rayne widened his eyes in horror: [...Uncle? They kept him! No... werent they her parents, even if they weren't blood related, they definitely loved her... no, its only a possibility, this kids too tall and nothing alike, I'll ask Hindor in case, I doubt they kept him, but I’m still curious who is noble enough to talk so friendly with Zaq, he must be young and have huge potential?]
Every time he remembered his wife's last moments, those screams and blood, he had to suppress the urge of going back to check he was dead, at the same time, he did not want to offend his parents in law and did not want to go at the same time. He is conflicted. He doesn't know if he should hate or love the boy.
{Rayne: "Hindor?"} said Rayne, telepathically.
{Hindor: "Yes, your majesty?"} said Hindor, respectfully. The faith and loyalty he had could be felt through his words.
Hindors clan were one of the first to be under his empires and clans influence, and because of that, it grew what it's into today. Hindor was brought up with all the best training methods and teacher because of money and influence.
These were some of the factors that allowed him to become an ultimate high god. It was all thanks to Rayne and his imperial clan.
Although Hindor is a lot younger than Rayne, Rayne thinks of him as a little brother.
Hindor is a muscly guy, has an outgoing, easy to get along with sort of personality. He is usually drunk and pretends to be a poor guy in a random tavern while starting fights. Sometimes Rayne joins him, though nobody knows.
{Rayne: "Hindor, be sure to investigate the lad with Zaq. This is important, I find this more important than the sovereign amour! If we rope this kid in maybe we can recruit him and train him before the tower opens, if he takes longer we can just wait for the next dungeon. "} Said Rayne, seriously. He said it clearly and emphasised how important this is.
{Hindor: "I see, for our clan! We shall be accepted by our main sect again! But... why do we need to be accepted by the main sect? We're doing fine, aren't we-"}
{Rayne: "Did I ask you?"}Rayne said, quietly and solemnly.
{Hindor: "I see... I'm sorry for prying my lord, I'll immediately call my familiar..."}
{Rayne: "It's ok... you need to concentrate on this one, OK? You drunkard?"} Said Rayne, in a more friendly tone.
{Hindor: "Of course!"} Hindors voices echoed telepathically and slowly faded away as he chuckled.
Rayne looked to where Hindor was, to find him completely gone, without a trace.
Rayne: [Ho? He improved in hiding his aura... as expected of one of the best experts of darkness... but still needs improving.]
All this happened in a couple of seconds.
Zaq looked at the place where Hindor was, and furrowed his eyebrows.
Zaq: [Shit! Did Fenix say something to give it away?! I never heard properly since those idiots were bickering louder... my ears are sensitive ya know! No, Hindor might be getting some cash, yes! That must be it... Zaqs hair, eye colour and body size is different. Although his facial features only look more mature, Rayne has only seen him as a baby. I have to keep composed, they may try to look for background of Fenix...]
{Zaq: "Make sure your hoods on properly, Fenix."}
Fenix nodded and tugged his cloak to cover all of his face.
Zaq: "Alright. I'll give you a 0.1% discount, because of my Friend here took a liking to you..."
Rayne: [Good, just friends...]
Fenix had a smile across his face: [Hoho, messing with these guys is just too funny, lets see what father will do... ]
Zephyr looked at the friend of the expert. [Must be strong.... I can't really see his face, but he feels familiar... Especially the horns and tail, if I met him in a past life, I probably thought he was the devil.]
Rayne: "5 quadrillion..." [My last offer...]
The Hooded girl angrily muttered something under her breath and said: "Why you... do you know who you are stopping. We are from from the 'Reol Clan'! We are two grandchildrens of our ancestor-- " [These bastards, even if this is a infamous world, who do they think they are? Stopping us from getting a sovereign amour...]
The hooded man interrupted her: "You might of heard of him, he's known as the Imperial Divine Lion." He said modestly and politely.
The two hooded experts no longer looked ignorant nor mysterious. A huge pressure followed with each of their words and there was thick, stifling tension in the atmosphere.
Everyone knew of the famous ancestor of the 'Reol Clan', his fame shook even the planes of the main world. A very famous sovereign.
There was silence... then there was shock, followed by whispers of gossip and awe.
Some high gods were saying: "It seems like the emperor is in a predicament, he truly does not recognise mt. Tai... Even if he is one of the few Novas, I doubt any sovereign will stand in front of the Imperial Divine Lion!"
The supreme experts that overheard these conversions just shook their heads and bitterly smiled, suppressing rage. Especially those of Raynes imperial clan, whose eyes grew red, in fact pretty much all of the supreme experts were of the Rayne clan.
Some random expert: "No, I doubt the imperial clan of this infamous world don't have any strong backing, I mean, for it to have a nova as a representative? The ancestor of the clan must be a monster?"
Raynes flinched as he heard the words 'ancestor'.
Others ignored these statements, for it to have a nova is even more shocking than a sovereign, Nova's are as rare as high ranked lesser sovereigns, after all!
Zaq: [Oh, well thats unexpected... If ma and pa weren't friends with Sovereign Pu this could have caused some trouble... Good thing us Super classed beasts are too rare and valuable than any lesser sovereign and we can probably defeat this Lion as well.]
{Fenix: "Uncle, thanks for this! Its hilarious!"} Fenix thanked Zaq telepathically.
Zaq: [Ok, this kid is a bit too much like father.] Zaq thought helplessly.
Meanwhile, Raynes looked at the two siblings.
Raynes sighed: "You... *Sigh* You dare act so arrogant while in our clans domain. What stops me from screwing your heads right now... your Sovereign can't come to this lesser plane, even if he heard of this, you don't want him to be punished by the divine laws, do you?" he said, obviously infuriated.
{The cloaked woman looked even more angry: "We will forgive you for your impudence, you are now sectless, these commoners don't even know you lost your support and foundation, you can clearly see your a mess."}
Raynes: [And this is why we need a main sect, Hindor...]
As Rayne was talking mentally with the two, Fenix started analysing Zephyr.
Fenix: [I see how it is... he gets Black fluffy puppy ears and white hair, while I'm born with red hair and sharpened black horns... This fake appearance isn't bad though, black hair will make it look like were not related since its contrast, same with the horns.]
{The cloaked man: "To be honest, although this all went out of control, we were just very surprised with the sovereign armour. Armours after all, take a lot more effort to create than weapons, especially this modified attack and defence hybrid. We actually came to recruit you to our clan, the Imperial Lion clan."}
Zaq: "Yo, so... who's buying this?" said Zaq hurriedly.
Everyone turned back to see Zaq look even more impatient and irritated.
Many people were just staring at the 2 sides as they stared at each other with killing intent.
Well, the cloaked man wasn't releasing any killing intent, he still had a friendly amiable aura.
The cloaked woman: "Just take it... we'll see you soon, we'll be waiting for your decision, but we'll also bring some friends with us to help." The girl said gritting her teeth.
The woman disappeared and her words echoed in the area.
This left many of normal deities, saints and mortals puzzled.
Only the supreme experts knew what was going on, and they could only sigh and watch.
Rayne looked at the remaining cloaked person: "What are you still doing here, crazy man?" Said Rayne angrily.
The cloaked man, who was stood, staring at the ground, looked up curiously at Rayne:
"I should go?" Said the man stupidly
Rayne: "You should g--"
The cloaked woman: "YOU FART, BROTHER COME HERE THIS INSTANT, EVEN MAKING ME LOSE FACE EXITING!"
The cloaked man hurriedly: "I'm sorry for my sisters arrogance, you got a nice place here, I'm sorry for the inconveniences we caused for you or your people. But please understand that my sister does not give empty threats so it's best to get this over with, maybe not with us, anyone would be good for you right now."
(An: Saying he should put his clan under a sect or clan with a sovereign.)
He said this very hurriedly and ran after his sister.
Many people still couldn't decipher what they meant, since they couldn't hear the mental conversation they held.
Fenix: "Bya weirdos!" Fenixes loud shout filled everyone's ears.
Everyone expected an angry girl to storm in, but they sighed in relief when they heard nothing but an earthquake. (An: Probably brother stopping sister running back.)
They then turned their heads to the young teenage cloaked figure. (Fenix with the fake illusion appearance) and all though the same thing: [You can't say anything you crazy kid!]
Zaq: "Alright, *BANG* BANG* *BANG* the sovereign armour is sold to Emperor Raynes for 5 quadrillion! Oh, you wanna go? Here. I'll grab the money."
Fenix was given the hammer: *SMASH* *CRACK* *THROW*
----------------------------
Zaq: "FENIX! CONTROL YOUR STRENGTH, IT WAS A NORMAL WOODEN HAMMER!"
Fenix: "I never knew! Isn't everything made of steel now!"
Zaq: "THAT was a priceless hammer made of a rare wood. PRICELESS! Only the emperor or extremely special guests could use it!"
Zaq was currently running into the market district holding Fenix by the waste.
Zaq: "I'm going to the market to do some business in the market, DON'T leave this cafe, before i leave, do you want anything to eat?"
Fenix: "Magical beast meat?" Fenix asked hopefully, his eyes almost sparkling. [I'm starving, I want it roasted, even RAW!]
Zaq: "It's a cafe, you're getting a cake and some tea." [This kid is a humanoid right? They can't eat this much meat? Even magical beasts can!]
Zaq gave the order and left some money to Fenix as he left to the crowded market.
-------------------------------------------
Zephyr was covered in a black cloak as he wandered the market district.
He was currently ecstatic! Not only was he free, but he was finally all f*****g alone!
No annoying cousins.
No annoying cousins friends.
No uncle Hindor.
No anything.
Anything but him, the earth, the sky, the sun and fresh air.
****Zephyr POV****
I'm currently walking to my favourite place when I'm finally alone.
The Cafe of Elements.
It has the best herbal which calms me perfectly down.
The cake they give you is refreshing and sweet with every mouthful, the texture of the bread of the cake is fluffy and warm, and the icing is soft and creamy, it melts in your mouth.
I'm sick of meat. They just keep feeding me cow, venison and chicken type non-magical beasts, I need sweets and crap too. My cousins are too spoilt they get sweets, consoles and the VR system's, father is always busy so he doesn't get me much things and just gives me money.
As I sat on my usual spot, right next to the entrance of the shop, I see some familiar people enter the cafe.
The ragged cloaks and short childish frame.
The taller one is leaving the slightly shorter one behind.
I sip my tea and tug my cloak down. I still can't clearly see him either.
What is he doing?
The man left and he started to rapidly order my favourite herbal tea.
He... does know that if he drinks too much of it, it would intoxicate him? Right?
(AN: In that universe, herbal tea is alcohol.)
Why is the idiot standing on the table?
Fenix: "EVERYONE SHAKE WHAT YO MAMA GAVE YOU!"
What is he doing with his butt? Why is he waving it about like a street wh--?
He looks ridiculous doing that sort of dance in a cloak. What's actually wrong with this fellow?
He fainted. Serves him right. Why would he have herbal tea if he gets intoxicated so easily.
I walk up to him and lift him up...
Good thing I train a lot.
I end up walking up to the nearest transportation service.
I should take this person home, father said he is very important, I have no idea where the other one went, so its bad if I leave him, right?

Zaq POV
I still wonder why he wants me to meet him in this old place. Its pretty much a stall in the furthest most oldest area of the district. Nobody even comes here anymore.
I am sitting in a ramen stand and am slurping what seems to be my 6th or 7th bowl.
"Ahh, refreshing, now the 8th..." I couldn't help but admire the ramen out loud.
I hear the curtain beside me open up and a cloaked man sit beside me.
My hearing is so good that I can pretty much visualise everything even clearer than actually looking.
There is a serene quiet between. We enjoy listening to the food being made.
The sun starts setting behind us, the orange light slightly brightens the insides of the stand with a dim, faint light as it manages to break through the little gaps between the curtains.
Raynes: "I'm sorry I'm late...." he finally says.
"You always say that..." He really does, it's so stupid and unoriginal. You know what isn't original--Honesty.
Raynes: "Do you know how hard it is for me to find time to esc- for myself." He definitely scapes from his job.
The wind makes the curtains behind or seats flutter, and I am reminded of some of my childhood memories.
"Remember when you used to bring me here, back when I was a kid."
Raynes: "Of course, you kept on crying to come. We all used to come here. Its where me and your sister first began dating. It feels like so long ago now..."
"Thats because its been millions of years since you and sis. I'm only around 1000 years old, you know."
Raynes: "You're still young, eternity is so short, especially for us, who cultivate for eternities no end."
"You're just a geezer, just admit it." At some point you should face the facts.
I slowly stir the ramen in the pot and continue to reminisce.
"Even our parents dated here, how old exactly is this place, Owa Sensei?" I hear mom speaking highly of this often.
Owa sensei, the ancient, white long bearded man, fanning the smoke behind the counter, answers.
Owa: "I opened this place too long ago. Both of your parents and Raynes grandparents came here often. In fact, Zaqs parents still come quite often."
The fire flies that emit gentle blue glows floating behind us, in this rural part of the district made us feel calm and relaxed.
Rayne Sighs: "Speaking of my grandparents, their main sect decided to abandon us.
--WHAT!?
I try to stop the angry and surprised expressions on my face.
"What do you mean?" I say as calmly as I can muster.
Rayne: "The main sect has decided to abandon us. They are no longer in need of resources or money. They want to call me back with Hindor, but not the rest of my clan members and the smaller clans that have joined us. This is my home planet so I can't runaway from it. I told them I'm not going to return. If I leave it almost definite I will never return, the cost to cross is very expensive, too expensive for the likes of the other clan members to even cross in the first place."
Me: "My Parents can help with this---"
Rayne: "No, it impossible for them to even pay the astronomical prices for so many people, I have chosen to stay. This is my real clan, not the main sect of it."
I should tell him about Feni, but the guys been stressed a lot lately. Though something's bothering me...
Me: "But isn't it suspicious?"
Rayne: "What?"
Me: "Why would they even call you back, they will continue to need recourses right? I know you sect has bases in many worlds, why do they need their strongest experts to return? Its almost like an evacuation, like they're surrendering their territory."
Rayne: "I'm an idiot, how is it possible to have enough resources or money? That was a terrible excuse. Even if they did, they wouldn't give away a valuable place like this... right?"
At least he admitted he's an idiot.
Me: "Of course, I think your main sect feels threatened, and are being pressured to leave."
Rayne: "Right, they haven't even contacted me again, after I denied their request."
Me: "What?! Aren't you their only Nova, you're too valuable, your the most powerful High god they have any sect would be begging to have you... I think your sect are definitely in some trouble with another sect, but don't want to admit it."
Rayne: "*Sigh* I will ask Hindor to investigate more thoroughly, they may be in some serious trouble and are unable to contact me."
Owa: "Hoho, you kids grow up so fast, I remember when you played detectives around here, Bwahaha, it was back when this place was the main district. Those were the times..."
Rayne: "Owa sensei, I told you, if you want this to be part of the main district I can easily do that for you?"
Owa: "Of course not! You can't force people to like an area, I also like it when its more quiet here, mostly my old friends come to visit anyway."
Eesh, this old man is still as stubborn as ever.
Huh, why does he have a surprised expression on his face?
Owa: "Haha, It seems things are going to get interesting in the main world."
This old man has too many clones...
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Thunders POV
*A couple moments earlier*
Sovereign Pu's council of Sovereigns
Thunder: [Why did you even call me?]
I look around me. I'm sat around a circular table. Currently 8 cloaked people are ominous looking at the 2 figures beside me. There were only 3 uncloaked people, one of course, was me.
Sitting at the top centre of the circular table was sovereign Pu. I am currently sitting to his right, while an elderly man wearing plain simple robes is sitting to his left.
Sovereign Pu's: "As all of you probably felt, the main world is growing very unstable. I feel like I am losing control to another power. An unfamiliar power..."
The elderly simply clothed man to his left furrowed his wrinkled brows and continued to look across the table.
The Old looking man must have authority equal to me, to sit unrobed and beside Pu.
His clothes are unadorned and are simple, this shows he cares nothing of worldly power, nor face.
His amiable, wizened face scans the surrounding people, and stops to stare at me.
He speaks in an ancient wise voice: "I fear the use of the parallel dimensional gate may have given us unwanted attention."
Sovereign Pu: "What are you talking about, Primordial Owa, currently only you and the man beside you have crossed the gate to stay here."
Owa: "Bwahaha, you think I am blind, I see everything in this little multiverse, but recently, I felt 3 Primordials enter, before that many had appeared, each with their own affinity. I was sent here from the centre of Reality and all Dimensions, yet I could barely feel the true power of the two with the element of fire and wind. They were non hostile but very ancient souls. Same with this one. His soul is very ancient."
Sovereign Pu: "What? Are you saying the powerful souls entering here garnered unwanted attention?"
Owa: "The strength and density of the souls show how ancient they are. If you mainly used soul attacks you would be defeated very easily by any one of these primordials. From what I see, these primordials must come from a very ancient and large dimension. It maybe even more ancient than the centre."
Cloaked sovereign: "Elder Owa, are you hinting about the 'theory'?"
Sovereign Pu furrowed his eyebrows: "What theory?"
Owa stroked his long white beard: "The theory, that all parallel Multiverse are all copies of one, the original multiverse, It is said it is governed by more than one primordial. The primordials have a ruler, a very powerful ruler who wished these Multiverses to existence."
This makes sense, I think its pretty obvious that this first dimension is ours. Fenix always wanted to wish there was more to life, I think that idiot created all this with figments of his imagination.
He often talked about this, even before we were a thousand years old.
If His soul is powerful enough to do this, it might run in the family.
Ok, I'll practice. *Insert dirty thought here*
IF THIS PARALLEL MULTIVERSE NOW EXISTS, I WILL SCOUR THE VOIDS TO SEE EVEN A GLIMPSE OF IT.
Sovereign Pu is looking at me strangely: "Senior Thunder, are you alright? Why is your nose bleeding."
Me: "It's nothing, Owa, are you hinting that you think my multiverse is the original?"
Owa: "It's not impossible, it explains how primordials already have innate knowledge to create multiverses. But lets bring the conversation back to the topic at hand. I am tasked to protect this parallel multiverse, Pu often helps us in return for our protection."
I forgot to mention, the robed sovereigns are wearing colours representing the affinity.
But there was another important figure across him.
A golden cloaked man.
A mysterious aura emanates from him and he sits directly opposite from Pu.
The golden cloaked man speaks, every word clearly resound in everyone's ears.
Golden cloaked man: "We shall first find the source that is affecting the stability of the main world, we shall then eliminate the interfering problem. I have felt it soul scanning often, it is measuring our power. We can easily detect it crossing to this dimension, we shall intercept and cross over. We shall go straight to the leader and ask what is going on."
Owa nods: "We have the equipment necessary, you have your men search the main world. We need to make sure everyone stays calm, the last thing we want is people panicking."
Thunder: "Just open some tournaments and dungeons to keep everyone busy. Give away some cool treasure and rank."
Owa: "Oh? Thats a good idea, ho ho. Pu, after this--"
Sovereign Pu: "I know, I know, use the parallel multiverse gate less."
Owa: "Actually, its better if you use it more, others have noticed you. You will need to show some strength and stop cowering. I think, if negotiations go smoothly, we can link you up with some other multiverses."
Sovereign Pu: "Thank you. But do you think we will able to stop this foreign power? Its soul strength is stronger than mine, so I think we will have to take this very seriously."
Owa: "Of course. By the way, just because its soul is stronger, doesn't mean you're weaker than it. You have trained very quickly, you're a genius. For such a young primordial to attain the power you have is incredible. Be brave, your power is ranked among the top in existence!"
Owa said this, and started fading away.
He must know many big shots to know where this guys ranked.
Sovereign Pu: "Haha, did you hear that senior? If I am this highly ranked, I wonder what ranks your brothers are BWAHAHA!"
He says this and flies to his residence.
"Haa... I think I should start training more seriously... I guess I'll have to report this to Gaia now..."
I take out a crystal and see Gaia sleeping on a planet that's only filled with rocks and earth. (His version of fluffy pillows.)
"GAIAA! WAKE UP YOU LAZY BUM, YOU GIVE ME A JOB LIKE THIS WHILE YOU SLEEP!"
------------------------------------------
*CLATTER *CLATTER*
Fenix is currently in a carriage with Zephyr.
Fenix jumps up and holds a dagger to Zephyr's throat while holding a collar.
Fenix: "Where's Zaq?!"
He then squints his eyes and looks at zephyr closely.
His rubs his eyes to stop the blurriness and looks again.
*Cough* Fenix coughs and lets go of his collar. He drops his dagger back down his sleeve and pats the dust off zephyr.
Fenix: "Your highness?"
Zephyr nods.
He rarely speaks with people so he doesn't know what to do.
Fenix: "Why am in a carriage? I didn't know that tea was akin to sake or alcahol."
Zephyr: "Alcohol? You were intoxified by herbal tea and dropped unconscious in the caffe."
Fenix: "Did... I do anything embarrassing?" [Damn it! If he see's me when i'm drunk, he'll lose all respect he has of me!]
Zephyr ponders a bit, his eyes rest on the anxious expression on Fenixes face.
Zephyr: "No." He blatantly lies.
Fenix gives a satisfied smile and sighs.
Fenix: "Phew, so where are we heading."
Zephyr: "I was going to let you rest in the imperial palace, but you awoke surprisingly fast."
Fenix: "Yes, its because I trained since I was young. You can drop the formalities and juts elder brother, since you have saved me."
Zephyr tilts his head and looks at Fenix: "Saved you?" His tail which was slowly waving around stops and his ears start twitching.
Fenix: "Not from assassins or anything. Why are you looking around like that? I told you there are no assassins!"
Zephyr: "Then from what?"
Fenix: "Are you an idiot? People like me don't have guard around us constantly, so we can get stabbed in public or stolen from, no one would care other than family."
Zephyr: "!!! Oh. I'm sorry..." [I thought he was some sort of nobility, since father thinks highly of him.]
Fenix got agitated thinking of some of his past lives.
Fenix: "Sorry about that, I got a bit riled up." [At least he's not a stuck up prince.]
Zephyr: "Do you goto the academy, you should be of age right?"
Fenix: "Nah, I sorta wander around and train. What about you kid?"
Zephyr: "Not yet."
Fenix talks happily with Zephyr, as they talk, Fenix notices Zephyr's tail starts wagging faster and faster.
What they didn't know, was a carriage trailing behind them.
------------------------------------------
Zaq was currently in a carriage with Rayne.
Zaq: “Mom and dad are thinking of enrolling me to the academy!"
Rayne: "What! Why would you need to goto the academy? You can become headmaster in even a huge school if you wanted!"
Zaq: "I know right! But apparently It'll help me talk to people around my age. I'm 1000 years old! I'm not a kid!"
Rayne: "You know your like 13 years old in dragon years, right? And there 10,000 year old humans still learning from their. Many magical beasts go there when they're young as well, usually they go when they're around 1000 years old as well."
Zaq: "You're just like them... Anyway, are you ok?"
Rayne: "Of course I am, why wouldn't I be."
Zaq: "I heard you wanted to kill one of your boys?" Zaq just casually brings out an intense topic.
Raynes heart can’t decide what he wants with the boy,
Raynes eyes grew red: "Is he alive?" He growled and stood up.
Zaq: "What if I said he was?" Zaq said, as he also stood up.
Raynes: "You didn't see... She was tortured to death! By her own child!"
Zaq: "Do you think he did that on purpose! He didn't want his mother to die, don't you think he feels guilty?"
Raynes: "Did you even tell him? How would he feel any guilt if he doesn't know!"
Zaq: "That type of guilt is sealed on his soul. I look into his eyes and I see guilt and hatred, not to anyone but himself, and darkness!"
Zaq grabs on to Raynes robe and looks him in the eye. He levitates to match his height.
Zaq: "...And I see it in yours too."
A deep intense silence engulfed the area.
All living creatures had long since fled.
Leaving only the carriage and the desolate path ahead.
The driver of the carriage was visibly shaking from the ominous auras behind him, but he doesn't dare look.
The magical beast wanted to turn humanoid and fly off for a while now.
Zaq slowly lets go.
*BANG*
Raynes slumps and crashed back to his seat while looking emotionally to the ground.
He continues sitting and staring on the floor.
Zaq stares out the carriage window, into the distant stormy clouds which were slowly departing.
--------------------------------------------
An: Its up to you, do you want Raynes to be a bad guy or good guy. I kinda can't decide but he's in a trouble situation right now. If you don't like this chapter, just message. I will choose to do a 24 hour redo depending on the majority's choice.
Please tell me of any mistakes in the comments and PM me if you have any ideas.
Once again, Im really sorry for no updates, next time something like this happens, I will make sure to make an annoncement. Most chapters will be shorter from now on, but hopefull more regular.
