One year later.
"L. Have ya been listin' to some of them stories goin' around?"
"Mm, What stories?"
"Vintage Boy!"
Jimi with a wide grin.
"Ah, maybe. Why do you care?"
"L. My man, this can be a new avenue of adventure. Hasn't it been to long since something exiting happened?"
"I kinda like how it is..."
"No no no, a man must chose to expand his horizons."
"Is that another thing you read?"
"Hah, do I smell the air of envy?"
"No."
"Hmm, Lull, just because I can read four languages and fluently speak three, doesn't make you any less smart."
"How did we come to this?"
"How indeed?"
"...Fine, should we get everyone together then?"
"Sure, though I seriously don't know where to begin."
"Then why even mention."
"So we can find a beginning. Nothing starts from something, everything starts from nothing."
"I think you need to stop reading those weird passages. I don't feel it makes an smarter."
"L. What's gotten you so grumpy eh?"
"Not much. I'm just tired."
"I see. Well dor now we can just head to class."

The evening soon came as Lull and Jimi chose to go seperate ways today, picking up their plans on the weekend morning.
Walking into a dark veiled room with two small beds and one large dresser, Lull sat to the cushion on the right. Pulling out two guns with markings engraved in a shifting dotted pattern.
"Still haven't figured much about this. Now Jimi wants to get into some weird stories. Haah. It's truly been dull. I guess it's your time. You've only talked to me once, and personally I didn't get much of what you said. But with all the weird things going on recently now. I have a hunch it's similar to the thing you mentioned. Am I wrong?"
...
"Silence. 'The One,' hmm. Well it's time for bed."

The mornings rays sprinkled through the window of a young man's window. His night sky blue hair covered his eyes, his tempered body held back the light as his shadows defined all muscles apart of him. His steps were sharp and swift as he entered a white bathroom. So white in fact it was hard to tell what was an object or not. He quickly did his routine, twenty-nine strokes of the brush, plus two circled motions for five seconds on every top tooth. Forty-one strokes, and eleven circled motions in both directions on the bottoms. He then pulled out nine different bottles from a hanging cabinet. He then went on a presiger of apply and cleanse five times for each bottle. This process took him two hours. He then stepped out went to the closet near the bed and pulled a deep navy blue suit. The blazer, under shirt, and a tie all in the same shade of blue. Then simple black slacks, a crimson belt with a shimmering rock on the buckle. He quickly and efficiently placed his clothes on. He then grabbed a blue watch clamping onto his right wrist, then stepped back into the bathroom. He bagan to comb and shift the position of his hair. Then once he felt complete, he grabbed his exstravigent black eye-patch with bright blue vines embroidered all around it. Slipping it on to cover the left side of his face. He then stepped out, slipped on two long black socks and then grabbed his lazul pair shoes, he calmly filled in the footwear. Then walking to the coat hanger near the door he took his ocean blue fedora placing it slightly forward a top his head. Pulling the knob he stepped out of the room.
In the clouds he stood looking below the town.
"You would like me to keep watch on them? Is that all?"
[Yes] Said a soft voice on the other end.
"Alright, tell Soul."
[No need]
"Fine. The deal will still go through right?"
[...Yes]
"That's all then."
[...'click'...]
"Hmm, just you wait bastard. The true 'gods' will afflict damnation on your 'blood.' Ain't that right friend?"
'Possibly. Though you could never kill me.'
"Ah, I can still hear it. I can still remember. My body has not crumbled yet. This is the true sign of the HEAVENS!"
As a sickening cry hit above the clouds, twelve large bolts of blue lightning flaired, exploding the minor endges of the island.

On a different range of land, cournties began to shift. Men, women, children, the old, and all else that could exist. Began to move. The seas began to show their true colors. The eyes of the watchers could be sensed.
A decrepit man, large in stature, proudly sitting at nine feet in height (274.32 cm), his large arms cloaked in velvet. His sucken eyes, so far back it could only be view as an endless abyss. The cracks and geometries of his face were pleanty, and his long white hair that splittered into his just as long beard dropping at his lap.
The room was painted into supply dark tones, and hues of red and yellow lined the walls and drapes.
He who sat their was the King. The 'highest' and most 'powerful' person in the entire continent. The titled name to the ruler, 'King of Dragons.' His presence was sharp and impeding even though his looks were fragile, it was still as though one was standing in the jaws of a truly majestic monster.
In front of him was the helper to his dreams, the progenitor to his success. It was him Satan, the second son to Lucifer. His presence only spoken through the shadows. His figure no where to be seen.
"His it finished?"
A deep and dry voice scorn through the air across to the other side of the hall.
"Hmm, worry not your majesty, the climb has only begun. As you promised, I prefer you finish its use before the succession fully begins. There are only so many years left before all are eligible. Oh and I wish to inform you on one more thing. Beware, for he has come back, risen from the dungeons of his capture. The originals didn't do a very good job."
"...You speak of the figure years prior?"
"Yes. He or shall I say it has risen once more. It plans on creating another speaker. I would say there are only a few souls left who have truly grasped it all and could face it. One being in your blood. Well either way, you'll be dead before the 'Zoran' and those flying bugs get any leverage in the war. So wait, wait for the successor."
"...You talk to much 'child.' If this is all, then leave for my peace."
The small in shift in shadow then slunk beck as it dissapated from teh light.
"Hmm, how bothersome. If only this world coudl come to an end already."
The king said in a gruphed tone.
***
"Have you heard? The move is about to begin. Your favourite is coming to play, ain't that something."
"BE quiet with all your rambles. Tell me how you got these?"
A young girl in a large leather chair, he bright ruby eyes making the air a suffocating mass.
"You know I have a brother," he said with he wide grin, his untied and flying hair covering a portion of his expression. HIs light tanness looked darker in the cold room. His eyes only gleaming back into her's.
"That answers nothing." She voiced in irratation.
"Worry not my...ack, ugh, wait, c-calm, ugh!"
He then began to vomit blood as his body became heavy pulling him to the ground.
"Stop whining and answer. I know this ain't hurting you."
"Ahh, your so kind, truly that's... ack, shit! Alright! I sold him, I sold his corpse. Haah, haah, goodness. My little prin...baah!" Interrupted as his body flew crashing into the wall creating a large bowl of stone to be imprinted.
"I can't believe you. Is this how I wanted to do things. I thought you 'loved' your him, yet you arrive here to joke. Also you tell me this now, why have you only come back now?"
"Uhh...I delivered what was needed, I may be a little late. Truly I wished to see you. I was watching all along accross this year as I was getting ready. Ah wait. Please I haven't finished. My love for my brother and my 'love' for you are two seperate things. If you truly wished for my death, I wouldn't hesitate to kill myself...right now."
"I know that. Yet this isn't how I wanted things."
"Haah, you know the veins I had to travel weren't easy. One misstep and I would've never been able to see your face ever again."
"Was he truly that strong?"
"..."
A few seconds went by, his face growing somewhat cold. Then he slowly opened his mouth in response.
"I only know so much about what he may be trying. His ambition, it's...it's larger than yours. I fear him. I don't know if I could kill him. Possibly, but...he's. He's the same as him," Antimah pinted towards the girls chest as his face became more somber. "He's a true 'monster,' on the strains of the dieties. He may not necessarilly be on the rod of high or even omni, but I think 'Omnicience' is what he's after. After all, why would anyone simply want the corpse of someone if it wasn't specific."
"...Ah, I see. He... So that's his plan. He's dangerous. You should know, but I don't think it ends with a pure 'Yang' body."
"I agree. The heavens have cursed me. So let me help you with all that I can."
"Fine. I'm surprised though. If his goal is to create, then he truly gave you these with a lot of ease."
"I wondered about it similarly, but I figured that it may be because he doesn't need them."
"Your telling me the summoning materials to 'The One' aren't something someone needs. Its one of the few things ever in existence to be as close to what he's possibly envisioning."
"...I have my doubts. Yet I couldn't tell ya, I know not of how the world was years ago. One hundred, or one thousand, or even before the second 'occurence.' I fear someone he has already encountered something similar or the exact thing."
"Your...Your not telling me he's one of them. Shit! We're screwed!"
"Not entirely. You know of the 'Dragon Empire.' They will have the climb in the coming years. We succeed, we'll have enough resources to be on equal footing with them."
"Hah, I haven't even been able to fully utilize the contract, and now your going to say we should win a compatition of rulership. Even if we both get stronger by then, whoever said the others won't be the same."
"...It's best to try then not."
"Even if we die."
"I would never let that happen. Also, the 'Lotus' always grabs hold of those that sink."
"Ah, Antimah, no _______, your truly smart when you wish to be."
"I'm flattered my little princess."
WIth a face of disgust she whipped out a crimson black flame into her palm, her face only looking more irritated.
"Why do I even bother."
"Ah wait, come on let it...Shit! Are actually trying to kill me!"
The room was soon engulfed in a demonic heat.
