What compels you forward? Is it love, lust, power, fortune, or fame? Or have you not experienced what you want to fulfill in your life. Do you want to see out the world, all of its wonderful people and landscapes, or do you want to be an icon to those people, tower over them or be a tyrant to them. Have everyone obey your every command, or to have them admire your every move and inspire them to follow in your footsteps, for good -- or for worse. Could it be the desires, the urges you are dying to fulfill with someone of your choice. Someone to live your life with, or just to have someone to please you in that moment. To some, these are the driving force behind their each and every move, but there are some who seek omniscience, knowledge of all. To expand their brains and to learn of everything in their present world, everything from the past, and even information that has been lost in time. People who want to learn all there is about the world and the people who have lived in it just to understand it better, so they can find answers to everything they have been seeking. One prime example of a searcher of truth is a man by the name of Viaţă. Viaţă is a man in Europe, immersing himself in the joys of the enlightenment era. Where everyone is coming together to think of ways that will change life for all. Viaţă can be seen having a discussion with another philosopher.

Viaţă: Master Kant, I simply adore the way your mind functions. Your philosophies are outstanding! But...do you truly believe in the afterlife, and God?

Immanuel Kant: Yes, I believe that there is an afterlife, and for the afterlife to truly exist, there has to be a God. Life is very valuable, however -- and happiness is an idea of reason, not imagination. You must live out each action as if it were a universal law. What about you, Viaţă? What is your Philosophy?

Viaţă: I believe that knowledge is all-powerful. And that we as humans should do our absolute best to obtain all sorts of knowledge, knowledge of the natural world and the beings above us so that we may live in peace and harmony with everything around us.

Immanuel Kant: That's magnificent! I take it you have taken inspiration from other philosophers?

Viaţă:  Why, of course. Study the greats, and become greater.

Immanuel Kant: I think your philosophy is still wonderful, nevertheless. You should publish a book about your thoughts on life, it would be wonderful to share these ideas you ponder with fellow philosophers and the common people.

As these two philosophers talked among themselves, a man from a distance watched them from behind a building within the town. As the man turned to three men with weapons behind him, as he was rubbing his hands together -- and he pointed at Viaţă:

Evil Man: Thats him, THATS THE MAN I've been telling you all about..

One of the men with this shady man raised an eyebrow, as he watched Viaţă wave at Kant, and walk near what appears to be a house of his own.

Man(Center Solider): Um...This is the man you said was possessed by the devil?

Man(Right Solider): And who's philosophies are corrupted and are meant to bring the end of mankind?

Evil Man: Yes, I can sense it in his aura! That man is evil...a product of the devil.

Man(Left Solider): He was just talking how to live in peace and harmony with the natural wo...

The man would pull out several gold coins from out of his pocket, as he would hold it out to all the soldiers, and their eyes glittered, as they got their spears ready to attack

Man(Center Solider): We will have this man executed. 

The center solider shook hands with the man, as they would all rush to Viaţă's home, banging on the door. Viaţă was a little frightened by the aggressive banging coming from his door, as he would open the door, and right when he opened it and a spear came rushing right at his face -- missing him and shattering a hole in the wall behind him. Viaţă didn't have time to process what was happening, as he was punched in his face, nearly stumbling over before he started to run away, throwing all items in his house at the soldiers, but none of them were big enough to stop them. He would then be backed into a small room, the room of which he wrote in -- as fear plagued his eyes, quivering as he couldn't break through his paralysis to beg for mercy, but he was pleading for his life all with eyes, crying, shaking, hoping that God will protect him from this sudden attack, as his life was flashing before his eyes

Man(Center Solider): Your philosophies are corrupted, you are a threat to mankind, and your life should be taken before you continue on with the sins in your future.

Viaţă: I-I beg of you...please spare me. I promise you, my philosophies are quite the opposite! I mean no harm, Please don't kill me..please, I have so much I have to do, so much I don't know, So much I want to learn, Please! Please do not kill me, please...ple- 

Viaţă's statement was cut short by the spear that impaled him through his forehead, and a spear that pierced his heart, stabbing him right through the chest and busting through the back of his head as his brains splattered across the wall behind him, his head dangled, and his blood on the papers that contained his ideals. An innocent man has been killed by the simple persuasion of coins.

Man(Right Solider): Crassus! Viaţă is now dead.

Crassus shrieked in delight, as he came running in the house, and just the sight of Viaţă's lifeless body fueled his soul. As he went to Viaţă's notebook, throwing all the gold coins at the soldiers, as they thanked him and walked away. Crassus grinned, seeing the blood on the philosophies made him jump in joy, as he looked at Viaţă's body, and grinned, kicking his foot through the hole in Viaţă's chest.

Crassus: Now your ideals are mine, you pathetic deadman.

Crassus would then spit on the man's body, taking his works as his own, and leaving his body to rot within his house.

Hey! Wake up!"

Through the ears of a pitch black eyesight heard an appealing voice. One soft,  and somewhat "cute". It was a voice of a female's. The pitch-black eye sight soon had been wiped away, leaving only the sight of a pitch white room. Empty, nothing there, as these curious eyes scattered around, looking for the source of the voice his ears had heard

???: "I'm over here!"

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

The Soft and appealing voice reappeared, this time behind these curious eyes. The holder of these eyes turned around, as he gazed upon him the eyes of another living being. The being looked to have the body of a human girl, however with antlers instead of ears on it's body, it was clear that it wasn't human. The creature dressed like a human, however, wearing a green hoodie, having light green eyes, and gray pants.

Viaţă:". . .Where am I?"

The man asked the creature behind him. The man possessed black eyes, and he had an outfit similar to a Jester's. He wore a red cape on his back too, as he stood up standing 6 feet tall, showing to be taller that the creature behind him by several inches. He turned around and looked down at it, aiming to make eye contact

"Ah! You can stand, I was worried. You've been dead and I brought you here!"

The small creature explained in a casual way, the man was surprised, as he felt a pounding in his chest, then he even was surprised more when he felt his chest -- it was perfectly in tack,! He placed his hands down, as he continued to examine to area, many questions started to pop up in his head. Where am I? Am I dead, or am I alive? Who is this strange creature?. Questions like these, reappearing over and over as he struggled to put them on hold, but he was hoping this creature would be able to answer all of his questions. then, a smile would spread across his face.

Viaţă: Is this...the afterlife??

???: Yes! Well, yes and no! Where we are right now is where you're supposed to be, but your current living state is life after death. I have brought you in here to grant you a dying wife, the way you died was highly unfair -- so I want to make it up to you!

Viaţă: Y...You know how I died?

???: Yeah, you want to see?

Viaţă: Umm. . .

The small creature giggled, as she pointed upwards and a screen replayed the death of the man, as he watched from a third person point of view, seeing himself be brutally murdered after pleading for his life, it sickened him -- he felt sick, as he turned away and held his stomach.

Viaţă: It sickens me the way I went out. . .so much unfulfilled.

???: Do you remember who you are, your name? How you died? Anything..?

Viaţă: Yes, I do remember. My name is Viaţă, I am a man seeking the absolute truth of the world, seeking truth so I can live in harmony with the earth and everything within, However, I was killed during my quest for truth by a group of soldiers because my philosophies were corrupt. . ."

Viaţă answered honestly, obviously, for it was his motto: "Say the truth, obtain the truth". The Creature nodded, it gave off a sad vibe, it felt as that was a sad tale Viaţă told her.

Ceruneas: Well, my name is Ceruneas! And. . .I am greatly sorry to hear that was your Demise. However, with my abilities, I will be able to grant you life again, and the absolute truth you've been searching for.

Ceruneas stated, placed its hand on its chest as it closed its eyes, Viaţă's eyes were covered in surprise! He believed what Ceruneas said, and he started to smile.

Viaţă:R-Really? You can do that?"

Ceruneas: Yes, by giving you Omniscience, it will allow whatever your words to be announced as truth, it will bring you one step closer to your goal. You will learn all about the world, and have some information about the outer beings. But you will not be able to predict the future, or know what lies ahead, you will know all that happen before you, and a little after. Is that okay?

Viaţă: Thats more than okay, T-That's amazing! Please, I beg of you to do so!”

Ceruneas: Very well then!

Viaţă was happy, overwhelmed with excitement! However the "mood" had shifted. His presence alone brought about a major shift within the atmosphere, as he shoved his sister Ceruneas down. He then glared at Viaţă, as he started walking towards him, stomping the ground as his body slowly shifted into flames. he had turned into flames completely before he even came close to Viaţă.

???: What's wrong with you!? Are you Really going to give this man what he wants!? He doesn't DESERVE IT."

The Phoenix  had went headfirst diving into the ground, fazing through it as if it was diving in water, and popping back out of the ground, taking the form of a different beast, this time, a dragon. It continued going into the ground, reappearing in a different form, changing from a dragon, a Serpent, a snake, boar, tiger, Lion, and finally roaring loudly in Viaţă's face as flames splattered everywhere!

???: Just because you asked nicely, told a nice little story that even idiots would call nonsense. you'll get what you died for...Truth, is that what you want?! Well Here it is, Life isn't fair. Even after death."

Viaţă, at a loss to say nor do, looked away from the angry beast, as Ceruneas stood back on her feet trying to calm her brother down.

Ceruneas: Hravestal. . . .Please calm down, pl-

Hravestal: No, YOU TRY AND USE YOUR BRAIN FOR ONCE.

Hravestal had interrupted his sister, glaring her down as well as the flames his body had become burned even brighter. Ceruneas sighed, and she glared back into his eyes back, trying to give him the signal, a vibe that says "You should stop what you're doing if you know what's good for you." Hravestal turned his back towards his sister, placing a smile on his face, it was obvious that an evil plan is what he intends to act out next.

Hravestal: So, you want absolute truth, fine! I'll give it to you! Haha....but nobody will believe a Word you say, I guarantee it."
