Commander Asura was floating in the abyss. His might was instantly dwarfed to the power before him.
(Why did this happen? Who speaks to me? ...am I dead)
Thoughts like these race through his head. Then such though cleared away slowly like mist. The phantoms question filled Asura with warmth for some reason. Maybe it was just him realising that he's alive or maybe it was something different.
All the same he let out a faint smile and replied 'No...'
Because of the darkness engulfing everything he couldn't see anything. The only presence of the phantom was his voice wich rung through his head.
'In that reckage you will find a child.....You will take him and care for him. But you shall not stop him nor harm him........He is a special child and this plane is my gift to him'
Asura: 'Just who is this child?......If you don't mind me asking thay is...'
'Cadus.....'
Asura: '!......M-my lord's.....son? How did-'
'Take him him and teach him all you know this child is.....important. When he reaches his 10th year take him to the Nephilim ruins for his awakening.
'God's End? Wh-' Before he could finish a violent gust knocked him back and what he saw widened his eyes in shock

Asura: 'God......' He muttered
The darkness swirled around him and he vanished within in. The darkness kept swirling around, Drawing towards the center wher the collapsed mountain of a cube was before disappearing
----------
The sunlight filtered through the window and Tesla slowly opened his eyes....
He slowly sat up and looked around. When his eyes caught the window he was dumb struck.....In his stuper like trance he struggle out of the overly lavish bed and stumbled to the window.
'What.....in the world...?' Tesla gasped at the scene before him
https%3a%2f%2fd3cw3dd2w32x2b.cloudfront.net%2fwp...lis01c.jpg [https://d3cw3dd2w32x2b.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/RCF_NewMetropolis01c.jpg]
The city was beyond immense.
'I-Is this heaven?....'
Even now he could see mysterious flying crafts taking people from tower to tower.
'P-prince...Cadus...' A man interrupted
Tesla turned around and noticed a man in white cloak kneeling down
Tesla: '......I think you have the wrong person. My name is Tesla.
Cloaked man: 'Impossible my prince. How can I not know your eminence?'
Tesla: '......riigghhtt....'
'What is this place?' Tesla quickly got to the point
Cloaked man: 'This is This is Zirgzar's capital Aeram.'
Tesla: (First time hearing this...Of yeh, I'm probably still in the painting..where's) 'Where's everyone else?...' Tesla was brought back to reality
Cloaked man: 'I-It seems they got teleported back to where ever they came from..we must somehow thank them later for bringing you here....and apologize..'
'My prince' The cloaked man continued
'I must thank you for sparing our lives. I'm not sure if I'd have done the same if I was met with such violence.'
Telsa: 'Spared?...' (No I can't get distracted now.) Tesla though as he shook his head
'Enough with this Cadus thing....If you wish to call me 'My Prince' then so be it. My name is Tesla. Now then, may I learn your name?'
'.....Oh, excuse my rudeness! My name is Su-san Belarue' Susan raises his head for the first time.
Tesla noticed the mask
http%3a%2f%2fwww.buzzle.com%2fimages%2fdresses%2fmas...-mask1.jpg [http://www.buzzle.com/images/dresses/masquerade-dresses/masquerade-masks/full-face-mask1.jpg]
Telsa: 'What's with the mask?'( It's fucking creapy)
Susan: 'Oh this? Well.... ( can't tell him the reason...He might get freaked out) It's just something that everyone's made to wear....Why?..Do you dislike like it?'
Tesla: '......It looks creapy...'
Susan: '...I-I see....'
He immediately left and came back with a diffrent mask on faster than you could say 'That was fast'
Tesla: '......'
Susan: 'Is this better?'
http%3a%2f%2fupload.wikimedia.org%2fwikipedia%2fco...48923).jpg [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/db/Original_Guy_Fawks_mask_from_V_for_Vendetta_(5400848923).jpg]
Tesla: (Hell no! That's even creapier....just leave it alone lest he gets something even worse....)
'Yeh' Tesla's smile never reached his eyes. 'I Iike that better.'
Susa: 'Oh I just knew you'd like this! it-'
Tesla: 'Is there anything you need to do?' (Can't let her drag on about her bad fasion sense)
Susan: 'Oh, my apologies. Yes, I'm suppose to give you a tour.
As they walked through the halls I noticed that all the servants were wearing that same vendetta mask... (Crap, is this a cult of some sort?....)
He then noticed what appears like like nobles also wearing the mask. Though they were mostly done in ornate gold.
https%3a%2f%2fs-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com%2f236...5abdf5.jpg [https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/ea/6d/89/ea6d897e97a492f3c17bfbeef85abdf5.jpg]
(It seems like only the rich have a good fasion sense...unless.....) Tesla looked up at Susan who was walking next to him. (..........It has to be it)
It seams like the Susan here is the head servant. When he changed her mask his mask he must have had the servants do the same thing (poor servant.....) Tesla though with pitty shown on his face
Susa noticed it. 'I-Is everything alright?'
'Yeh' Tesla made a false smile.
As they passed through the halls nobles and servant alike started to murmur. They preformed some kind of hand movement before they all knelt of 1 knee on a wave as he passed through. (......creapy cults.....Royal castle my as...........They're probably try to sacrifice me..)
'Lord Ca-Ruark...Are you feeling thirsty? We have a magnificent Fruit Punch fountain up ahead..' Susan bowed showing the way with her left hand.
Tesla: (poison? Crap!)
/////////
Susan's point of view
////////
8 days ago the King has announced that his 1st son was alive and he is currently resting.
8 years ago the kings son suddenly disappeared. After years of searching, King Alumar with a heavy heart pronounced him dead.
I broke down in tears. I even tried to take my life. I have failed the duties to my lord.......It was all my fault. The king didn't blame me though..
From then on I devoted my entirety to the king. I trained all the servants in cambat to not only to clean the castle but to also to gaurd it. All the servants report to me.
When I heard the news that Cadus-Sama was alive I was so overjoyed that I cried.
God has answered my prayers after all.
When they first brought Cadus in I didn't understand what I saw.
Lord Asura Was using an Anti-Gravity Shield spell. In its center was a mass of Darkness about the size of an 8 year old bay who was in a feild position with his hands wrapped around his knees. 3 dark spheres were orbiting arundel him.
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
Susan: 'L-lord Asura that can't be Cadus......is it?
Asura: '......Yes it is...S-susan...I saw God!....'
Susan: 'God?....What do you mean?'
Asura: 'Susan....I-I be made a grave mistake....' Asura sounded desperate
'I-ive attacked....him...' Asura began to shed tears
Susan: 'you what....No, I'm sure anyone would have done the same given the sit-'
Asura: 'You don't understand! He broke Cronos Prison...A god ranked Spell like it was glass...'
Susan: 'Wha-....?'
'I-I saw him......' He continued "His wing of black sheathe...'
Susan: '.....Impossible'
'He said that this whole word is a gift to this child......' He gestured toward the prince
'Then he disappeared into darkness....Then Cadus consumed it.....'
Susan was dumbstruck (Our Cadus.......Is god.....)
It took 2 days for the darkness around the Prince to settle. Asura nearly died from exhaustion from maintaining a high class spell for 3 days straight.
After that Cadus was transferred to his old room wich remained untouched.
The Zirgzar empire were in short a bunch of religious fantastic who worshipped their god. The god of eternal planes.
Everything comes from darkness and everything ends it in darkness. If even if something extremely bright like the sun would be nothing but a endless dark abyss given enough mass. And of course the empty void of space is dark...
Their God who is considered an Demon God by many other races on different planes due to his affiliation with darkness.
They seem to only focus of the destruction part.
After the princes condition stabilized the king made an announcement. No one shall show their unholy face in the Presence of the Holy Prince
'Yes, I'll make the arrangements for servants!' I stood up and placed my right hand over my heart.
The King made a crooked smile 'ha..ha...if course you will..'
I immediately began the drafts multiple design of the masks. I settled with the grey one
(servants needed something plain and not to flashy......) All servants will wear a pure white cloak with gold trimmings which represent their pure heart. I restructured the servant and only picked the best of the best to serve Our prince. Every servant founded a great honor and a holy blessing to serve their god. Even the high priests implored me for giving them the Holy honor of serving the prince. There were way too many volunteers.
Today I went to the prince's room as usual when I saw him face flat against the window staring intently at the cityscape below. I was told not to mention our religion to the prince because it might make things awkward.
I was so nervous when I was talking to his holyness that I didn't notice his uneasy face. When I asked If he liked the mask he said it was 'ceapy'.... [teary eyed]
I immediately went out and got my other design out. The one with a gentleman's face on it. (I knew I should have picked that one from the start....You can't deny that gentle face.)
On my way back I notified the servants I passed to change their masks and to notify the King that the Price is awake.
While giving him a tour while everyone got ready to greet the crowned prince I decided to show Prince Cadus....I mean...Prince..our unique colossal fruit punch fountain located in the royal gardens. I turned to present the way of passage but when I Turned around he.....was.......gone.....
(Noooo, I failed again!)
//////////////
Tesla
//////////////
(That was close. I though I was going to be sacrificed in their 'Fruit punch fountain'.....really who come up with such obvious lies. I just invented the pump for the back home. The Capital and various other cities had so much demand for them that I had to outsource it to few of my father's friends. I'd....My father would get a 40% cut of each fountain installed....For them to have a fountain is just ridiculous....)
Then Tesla remembered what he saw out of that window
https%3a%2f%2fd3cw3dd2w32x2b.cloudfront.net%2fwp...lis01c.jpg [https://d3cw3dd2w32x2b.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/RCF_NewMetropolis01c.jpg]
(.....They probably do have fountains with all that going on) Tesla drooped his shoulders
He looked around everything either shined or lit up. The walls were made out of pure white marble accented by deep black veins now and then. All the walls were divided into solid cubes stacked 3 high. Each cube was 10 ft high and seemed to float on top of eachother. The gaps radiated light. 2 feet of their edges were covered in flat gold trim. The gold seamed to be a part of marble.
He followed the path until he came to a dead end. As he approached the dead end the blocks in front of him parted and he was greeted with was this
The king

Tesla: '.......'
King: 'Cadus!' He seemed to teleport to Telsa in an instant
He instantlgrabbed Tesla and spun him around
King: 'Cadus my boy, how've you been! I hadn't seen you since you'wer yee small!
Tesla: 'Quit it old man. And what's up with this Cadus already. I'M TESLA.' (I though I was going to die)
King: '??....Tesla is it?.....That's fine with me. 'Everyone! Listen and listen well!' everyone in the room knelt down.
'From this day on my son shall be known as Tesla. Let it be known through out this plane that my son Tesla has returned!'
'Nooooo' a sudden yell complete spoiled the moment
"Myyy,Kiinnngg.....I-I have failed you again!'
The King pinched the bridge of his nose in irritation (This women...)
"Susan you're late. You spoiled a nice reunion...."( I'm sure I looked cool)
Susan: 'Ehhh? Young prince?' She rushed to Tesla and hugged him
'Can't......Breathe....' Struggled Tesla
'Eeruurhmmm' The King cleared his throat
'As I was saying...we have to anouce the news of my son'
Tesla: Son?.....King...? (They're definitely trying to trick me....)
'Why are you making masks then Tesla pointed twards the Gaurd. How can't I trust something that scary!? You claim to be my parents but refuse to show me your face...How can someone like that be my parents? Tesla said with a pained face
King and Queen: '............'
Both of them took their masks off
