Oh you see the high luminary is just a dog. A very dumb dog", he said coming out of the ground like it was water and dusted himself, " the one that's been around more is the one that controls him. Your son held fears powers for a while. You should know that the demons don't cooperate, they control. You beat them in their game to win. Yes another question, if Nasr was cursed to prepare him for fear then why the rituals. What else are you hiding"

" One who controls the High Luminary..." His eyes darted back and forth as he recalled everything he had learned. " It seems impossible. We are aware of the demons need for control which would suggest Greed but that demon is too brash for these plans. It takes what it wants in whatever way it can, often by force" Concern filled his eyes with the thought of something more going on.

The next question was a relief on his mind in the certainty it offered. " Nasr is not the only one cursed but his is unique because of the role chosen for him" Lifting his head, he looked at Shinigami. What he saw made him cringe. " You have Rage and Chaos. Those were supposed to be placed in the Valra. Tell me how is the bird? Has he lost his mind, fallen ill, or worse? With the ritual started his spirit and mind are weak and unstable. This is needed to pour the demons into that creature of darkness"

Darkness...that was the key to it all. He knew he had yet to answer the question and sighed. " Civilization has fallen time and again to the wrath of Lumerin. The known records suggest that the civilizations strove for godhood before their demise. To restore our race to what it once was..." Though no sun was in the sky he looked up with regret. " The TRUE purpose of the grand demon is to destroy Lumerin...forever. No longer will Nyctorans fear his wrath. His power will be extracted from the demon to transform themselves into the former race. The demon will become a god of darkness that shall remind the people that only light is good and holy. From there they seek to start a war against darkness until the world is as it was, perfect with magic flowing through everything"

So in all they just want to rule the world. They are just blind o everything", he said sitting down on a chair then looked at him, "so tell me then, what else am I missing and also how do we destroy the city of light. Their tower"

He chuckled and shook his head with the new requests. " That tower was built from a sunstone mountain. Unlike the others it has 'roots'. Destroying that one could have substantial ramifications for the entire continent" A symbolic map of the cities was made when he pulled his own tail feathers and placed them on the ground. " It was a new development to prevent the repeat of the past. Like a heart, it feeds the lesser cities magic but it relies on them for the impenetrable barrier that is has. The barrier existed before the mountain became a tower. To step through it you need to have a token from the High Luminary or the right blood in your viens."

Being of the tribes, knowledge beyond what the cities had clashed within his mind. More legend now since the mountain had been destroyed so long ago. " There is a ritual, one to worship Solarium, that is said to allow one onto the mountain. I'm unsure if that is true or not"

A foreigner was denied much info compared to those born into the royal lines. He sat in silence for a few minutes to recall what he was allowed to know. "I have heard some say there is an opposing tower of darkness in the land of spirit. If that is true then I wonder what these mountains have been protecting...destroying the main tower might do more than any of us expect"

Mountains aside, there was more worth noting or so he believed. " There is a goddess the Luminaries speak of. I have never seen her but it appears that their past experiments have failed with her. I heard only whispers that a new plan is set for her. All I know is they plan to use your people as bait...or something else. They believe she is the reason your kind walk our world" He smiled and shook his head at the ridiculous thought. To him it was just another excuse to drag someone else into the war. " If you value your friend, give him more demons until you can break the curse. But of all I could tell you....watch your back. In their game no one is to be trusted"

I'm have no idea what you are saying or understand it", he said scratching his head, "well I guess I will figure it all out. But giving Nasr more demons is doing the same thing the luminaries wanted. Also don't worry about the light tower, it's taken care of already"

" Then why ask about the main tower if you have taken care of it?" Sol tipped his head in an inquisitive way. A dangerous light showed in his eyes but was replaced with concern. " Feeding that Valra demons is what they want but it will keep Fear from actively seeking them. Remember the ritual has started and it will ve finished even if the demons drag you to the end"

No I don't believe that s I'm going to change things", he said as the chair turned to his throne, "the ritual was to give Nasr no self control but I stopped it. Then pavol was to take in rage but I stopped it. Then the third one, what about the third one with the curse. And things seem strange some more like why did pavol have fear when Nasr was to get him and... You don't need to answer that. Anyway our last attackers got some of Nasr blood and feather, I want to know why they need it. Are they using it for the game. Also who made the game. Answer this in a way pavol's bd I can understand"

" The illusion is stronger than I thought. Is that how you perceive things?" He said while laughing. " No matter, it's how you are supposed to see things. The third one will end Nasr's life as a Nyctoran. Greed will give the High Luminary what he wants, call Rage away from you, and fuse with the Valra to create the Grand Demon"

He stood up and began to walk about. " I don't know the origin of the game. I do know that they only exist in the cities. At a guess I believe the first High Luminary created it. But the blood and feathers..." Deeps thoughts forced him to stand still, staring at the ground until he had an answer. " They could be used for many things. Spells, rituals, those twisted experiments Ferrin enjoyed so much"

Pavol finally spoke after so long. " They killed almost every Valra. Maybe they will use it to locate the rest?"
This made Sol look towards his son. " They did that already!?"

Yes, I believe they are ridding their number one competition and what's this so called illusion", he said then thought for a while, "a grand demon, more like greed will comsume his brothers. I bet rage is dancing about after hearing what you said and yes he's here. Locked up but here"

As far as he was aware, the Valra were not competition. Dangerous but they never ruled beyond their mansions." Pavol, you had fun with the illusion. Why don't you tell him"
The boy raised a foot and shifted his toes like he controlled a puppet. " I never had Fear. Nasr and his demon were just toys to me. Puppets." He pointed to the left and looked that way too. " You look the other way and think the demon is mine." Setting his foot down, he grinned at Shinigami. " And thought I was to become Rage's host. You missed that both demons were meant for Nasr. By stealing Rage for yourself you put yourself back in the game. He is very happy because the illusion will make you look the other way when you meet Greed. The truth will slip away again unless they win this time"

Sol sighed in seeing the influence of the mother in the boy. Something was off though and he looked at Pavol with a stern cruriousity. " Son, what do you mean the truth will slip away again. Who told you that?"

" Mother did. She spoke of the master of the cities" He seemed confused with the sudden tone his father took.

Auctually no remember when I said I didn't want to meet your mom. I would pretty much want to see her now even if I have to drag her soul out of hell", he said straightening himself, "so rage was just a bait to get me in the game. You weren't any use to them when it comes to the demons and would have been eliminated. Wait what happened to your former power, I never touched it, auctually that's another question you don't need to answer but you know what I mean by the third, you spend almost everyone with him now. And seeing that you know more from you mother I would like you to explain the plan they gave you since you were born. Sol you too", he said bringing out his notebook, "Tobi will write everything in real life. And also explain that goddess. And do everything in a way I won't need to ask questions again"

" Do you know hard it would be to drag mom out of hell?" He snickered. Suddenly he looked at his dad. " Where is mom? I thought she would be with you?"

Sol fanned his wings in a shrug and shook his head. " I haven't seen her since I got here. Now the plan..." Some of the grass was transformed into a pillow made of silk. He sat on it and took a deep breath. " I will share what he cannot remember. The health and power of elite luminary clans is failing which is why I was taken from home. The eclipse born are a threat to the plan and none of the luminaries had the power to fight them. The eclipse born were branded with curses and killed if they refused the city life." He scowled as he recalled what he endured.
" But I digress, when my son was born everything changed. He showed a skill for magic before he was one. Luminaries don't start casting magic till three or five years of age. A week later my wife came to me and said we needed to prepare him for the new era. The master of the grand demon and slayer of the eclipse born, Lumerin's chosen. He won't live long but she-"

The face Pavol had was distorted with disgust. " All my life she kept telling me my kids would be...um some...nonsense. Hah! Do I look old enough...wait I am old enough in the dreams....fine! Physically I will die by the time I turn 19. 21 if lucky...she's crazy!" Some flowers flew into the air when he flopped to his side.
" Forget her. I don't see the importance of what she told me. Remember we had one of your kind trapped in the tower? That is part of the plan. You offer mana like what used to exist on this world. I was the first to capture one of your kind!" He beamed with pride at the thought.
" Glira would have trapped you if you didn't find our grand demon. Trap all of your kind and split your mana. Most will go to the city master and what remains will be divided between me and the grand demon"

" Pavol, that is vague and I am sure your mother told you more. I still need to explain the goddess" Sol glared at him but the boy lifted his head and looked away.
" That's what is important. Nasr becomes the grand demon, his kind become mana for many things, and ....then mom's nonsense. Besides it's long and complicated. "

" And he is listening" Sol motioned with his head towards Shinigami.

No, focus more on my kind", he said as his eyes showed a bit of rage. They became darker then went back to normal, "this is going nowhere". He said as he drew a circle on a paper and tore it out. He activated the circle then stopped it, " so the summary, they want Nasr to become the grand demon once he loses his will and they can control him. Then they find my kind who they didn't now existed till now and try to kill them. The last part is funny, try to kill us. They can't even try. Oh I'm not saying this out of pride I know that this is fact, ice seen the luminary way of fighting and I gotta say, it's disappointing", he said then motioned to the paper, "remember when I said bind yourself to pavol, I can do that for you now. Pavol come to me before I wake. I already signaled kuroi to wake me. also what do you want me to tell your wife when we find her . I could always kill her again"

Too much caught Sol's attention. He noticed the change to Shinigami's eyes but it was the name he spoke that sent ice through his viens. " Kuroi? You know the goddess then? "

" Yeah, we found her! Mom would kill to know where she lives. He runs from her because she can kill him" Pavol chuckled as he got up and flew to Shinigami's side.

" She can kill you?" More than shock was in his voice while he flipped his head back and forth, looking for something. " So...that's how they will kill your kind. That must be why they were looking for her" His composure returned when he looked forward again. " The city luminaries are weak but don't underestimate them all. We are meant to farm but we do fight to the death"

The pillow burst into a shower of glowing birds when Sol stood up. Slowly he approached while looking at the slip. A defilement of everything he believed yet he could continue to train Pavol and prove the power Luminaries could have. " Very well...bind me to my son. If you find my wife tell her...the tyranny of her family ends. It won't make things right but let the Valra take her heart"

I'm pretty sure he would rather swallow a dragons vomit than do that", he said with a look of disgust then activated the spell, "don't worry, she doesn't kill when she's angry, kuroi I mean. And there's a good chance she won't kill you if she calms down", he said as sol soul thread came out same as pavol and they both got tied together, "oh yeah that bad this spells supposed to be for when you marry the dead or living. Well if you don't like it, I can always change it", he said as the paper turned to dust, "after some time though. Ok pavol anytime now. And don't worry about my kind sol, they know what's happening, anyone that's been trapped already ran away and they are all ready to fight. They got people like you taking care of them, they will be fine"

" What!?" Both of them said in unison. " You mean I got married to my dad!? Ewww..." Pavol cringed as he looked away.
Sol hid his face behind his wing while he looked at the spirit threads. " Tactfully put, Pavol...ugh..."

He took comfort and regained his dignity with the response Shinigami had towards the heart and what he said about his kin. " A war it will be then. Don't misjudge the Valra. Should things play out according to what I know then you will see a side of him you will want to banish"

The sky washed over with a deep blue and bright stars showing Kuroi's presence. Sol looked to the sky and studied the stars. It had been so long since he saw them so clearly. " Must be time to wake up. She orchestrated this resistance didn't she?"

Oh they were already there before we met her. They were always there", he said then looked at pavol, "you're not married, it's just a spell they use for married.., let's not talk about it anymore. And to answer sol, I've already seen something in Nasr I wanted to banish. It's irritating the fact I thought he had already lost control when he had control the whole time", he said putting his notebook away then looked up, "she's beautiful when she's not trying to kill you isn't she. A being that never dies, it's wonderful. Well might as well wake up now and thank you sol for not making a dream where I meet a dead person as bad as I thought it will be and I hope your wife suffers"

" Agreed..." Pavol dropped his head with a sheepish grin.

Hearing that Nasr had showed a dark side already made Sol nod. " Remember his spirit is weakened from the curse. It opens the door for the demons to draw on the volatile nature of darkness" Was it so volatile? Night was dark yet as stated was beautiful. Lights began to float in the air of the fading dream.

He lowered his gaze from the sky and smiled at Shinigami. " Protect her if you want to preserve that beauty. If my city kin find her heart..." Perhaps he was reading into things too deeply but something felt special about how he spoke of her. " you don't want know" The lights blurred the dream now, separating the vale between dream and reality. " You're welcome. May your next dream be what you want"


She remembered what he had said last time he woke with her nearby. He would find a dragon by his bed, tail curled tightly and wings kept close while she waited for him to wake. In the chair by the bookshelves, hiding behind her, Yuuma sat and flipped through a book. At his feet was a bag with a few things that may be needed for the quest.

He looked around then sat up, "I guess we would be late if I slept anymore", he said scratching his head then looked at kuroi, "thanks for that. By the way you didn't happen to put your heart away from your body in a place someone might destroy it. Also is pavol awake yet"

Her eyes widened a little as she brought her head back. " My heart? What were you talking about?" While turning away, a glimmer of amusement could be seen. " It's hidden somewhere within my castle. If you can't find it then I believe it's fine. As for the boy, I shall see" A deadly crescent of silver flowed safely overhead, a scythe on her tail, as she walked out the door.

Yuuma had lowered the book he was reading now to watch her leave. When she was no longer in sight he returned to the book. " It will be nice to go on an adventure. You have my thanks for inviting me along"
