Chapter 2: [ JOURNEY: 001 ]

Up to the sky, birds can be seen flying freely traveling above the land, and seas scattered clouds can be seen in the sky. It was clear as the ocean's surface that leaving a perfect view of the bluish color and its tranquil state. A man is standing forlorn in the middle of the lush green fields staring up to the sky where currently different birds of species can be seen flying peacefully looking amazed and mystified by the scenery unfolding to his eyes wanting to reach it but afraid to do so thinking that it may defile its pureness.

Every corner has a light that almost everything can be noticeable see-through from the darkness and lighting the path leaving the darkness at bay. But this man seems to defy this, an epitome of darkness where light cannot pass through to illuminate the figure leaving it so mysterious and terrifying at the same time. This scene was so calming there is peace, unity, and harmony, and there is no greed but only a fool would believe in that way.

This was just a façade from the past glory it had it was now painted differently. The lush green fields turned to bloody red, and blood that spilled from the carcass of dead bodies was heavy with the pungent scent of iron in the air. The destruction of many structures like houses and burning crops can be seen fully presented to the eyes this was only the aftermath of a battle.

This was the product of an ongoing war called the Great War. This led to many victorious battles that put smiles on the victor while those who lost became prisoners and wore expressions of defeat, shame, and terror. This scene will be simply tortured by an ordinary person who does not experience war. Dead bodies are lying on the ground with wild animals feasting on them.

Innocent people who are caught are victims of the battle. Men captured alive are forced to be soldiers and fight for the enemy. Women caught were forced to offer their chastity as comfort women for the soldiers of the war or even the commander. Children were traumatized and were left behind by their parents either dead or captured alive by the conquerors. The elderlies were mercilessly killed for being useless and having no use. The soldiers are openly lighted by the light provided by the home star in the middle of zenith fighting for their lives, beliefs, and their home country either alive or lifeless on the ground.

The expressions of fear, horror, and other negative emotion were on their faces.

Facing the undeniable truth, the man shows a slight stir of his emotions fluctuating in his eyes to the cruelty of the reality had it saw from when he was born. The world he needed to protect had been harmed by different deathly sins which were noticeable clearly above like the clear ocean sky above the figure. After moments of stillness, his eyes slowly close engrossing in its deep ocean thoughts. The world he wanted to protect and have lived in for a century was now on the verge of destruction. No matter how he prevents it, this will only delay the impending doom.

Opening his eyes revealed reptilian sky-blue eyes with a center of gold that shines when light touches it giving a unique feeling, begin to change to deep crimson blooded eyes with a center of deep pitch black that devours light hungrily that cannot escape from its abyss of darkness. His entire figure was shrouded in black with no prominent features. A calm sinister aura can be felt within his silhouette with his face no longer bearing any emotion. His eyes were lifeless no light can be found it was staring intently observing the carnage in front of it.

His waist-length hair gently sways from its slender but firm robust body from the wind filled with a heavy smell of iron and burnt flesh. Having finally decided the final state and its judgment from the action done by the denizen. The surviving humans, animals, and all kinds of living things can feel an overwhelming pressure that suddenly descends from the sky to the land. They were fighting, fleeing, and hiding from the corners but they feel weak on their knees making them fall to the ground.

Cowering in fear, full of dread, and confusion a very delightful scene.

Some of the powerful people on the battlefield stopped their fierce battle with each other when they feel the powerful pressure whereas other people who have low spiritual beliefs were knocked out cold. Those who remain conscious felt dizzy and nauseous but others were not lucky enough to send them straight to their deaths. Each second that passed felt like an eternity of nightmare making them all feel helpless and the feeling of hopelessness rose dramatically. They all think that their god and goddesses have been agitated and become mad and will punish them and let them suffer from their presence as a punishment.

The figure finally opens his mouth revealing a perfect view of its flawlessly white teeth and a pair of sharp canine teeth. A deep soft husky or masculine voice resounded uttering something fast making it hard to comprehend if anyone will hear this. A foreign ancient language only can be heard by few centimeters away from him. The exceedingly dreadful feeling was gone in an instant and replace by tranquility all survivors are embraced by it and fell into a dazzled state.

Tranquil feeling descends on them calming the raging thoughts in their minds and hearts all horrors were just illusions that they thought were created by their imagination. The next moment everything was engulfed by darkness the light was no more leaving only infinite darkness. They will never know what happens at that moment and no one will ever tell the tale.

The universe that stands mighty, imposing, majestic, full of mystery and beauty that was once alive and expanding quietly was gone for an instant leaving only a dark silhouette of the man silently floating in the dark space of nothingness that stretched on forever towards the horizon. The unnamed universe ceases to exist for all living beings the majestic universe was nowhere to be seen and discovered. The cause of the immediate disappearance of the unnamed universe was now disintegrating in the dark space of nothingness.

His body was now turning into ashes and its eyes were slowly closing if there was anyone who can witness this moment they might be amazed, mystified, and shocked by it. His eyes gradually change from the eye color of sky blue to forest green to red-orange to bloody red to gold to white to dark pitch black. The center of his pupils is also dimmed in color from gold pigment it slowly changes to pitch black.

There is a single tear that escaped from its eyes that can be last seen before turning into ash and disintegrating in the now dark world. The silhouette of the man together with the universe's existence was gone. Leaving with his task to guide, govern, and bring the path the right way and prolong its luster.
