The temple of wisdom, being a receptacle of immense ancient power and influence, has its boundaries occupying up to twenty-five percent land mass of the entire city. The space holds various sectors which include their private military and academic institutions, among many others. One of the countless buildings here is the Main Assembly Hall where public addressing takes place, and currently, it is filled with the only camera crews allowed from the various high-tier media outlets. “In an era of technology and democracy, Igineri is a first-world country thriving at the top of the game. It is a powerful nation that had begun a rapid rise since the great Watcher shared his wisdom throughout the planet with great love and patience, while also showing the unfathomable manifestation he possessed from unraveling the mysteries of the first constellation he comprehended. We are the roots and glue that continue to hold up other countries of the Ayika Continent. Without the aid we provide every

“3” “4” The gold of bright energy slowly revolving around Eshya contradicted the deep etch between her eyebrows in mood symbolism. She could feel them; her protective blessings dissipating one after the other. Admittedly, it was one of her weakest blessings; it was all she could grant without crossing the line. It should have been enough to withstand the Zeal-leachers' lenient attacks and yet, she didn't expect something would trigger these creatures' ferocious side. “7” “10” The priestess’ heart lurched at the increasing death counts; that was half of the finalists. The severity of the situation shocked her and she automatically began to take her steps forward when an intense flail of crimson energy spread out just beyond the barrier. It swiftly tightened around her neck and torso, trapping her arms in the process. Eshya stared at the center of the energy in slight confusion. "Show yourself!" “I was just about to, child.” An inundation of cries and laughter accompanied the bo

Chad instantly recognized the short curls of a titanium-colored-haired male walking slower. “It’s you, Ricky’s Sad boy.”“I’m sure he meant Bava.” Cassandra wasted no time delivering a harsh slap to the gold-eyed man’s chest, ignoring his annoyed expression as she smiled at the familiar young man.The Amber-skin-toned man waved a hand with a gentle smile and his large pair of Alice-colored eyes behind thick lashes refused to spare Chad a glance. "I didn't introduce myself properly the last time. I'm Bava Edwards; Holy Warrior star-touched towards Water."“And I’m Chanti.” The other man, slightly teenage-looking, pointed a thumb to his chest with a goofy grin. “Garu Chanti. Please, just call me Garu.” He struck a dramatic bow and rose back up to questioning stares. “What?”Cassandra hesitantly sized up the rose-skinned man with a skinny build, then held his Dusk-colored eyes in a heated challenge, one the male with the radiating smile didn't back down in the slightest from, creating so

“Praised be the supreme watcher!” The four warriors spotted a smile of relief on the priestess’ face as she laid bright eyes on them, and it sent threads of warmth into their hearts. Her ceremonious dress from the previous day stood clear she had never left the Valley’s entrance. "Priestess….." A groan left Cassandra's lips and she dropped to the ground, pain crushing at every bone and muscle before she could pay proper respect to the holy star symbol. She cursed under her breath as she realized her body was naturally responding to the full sensation of the Zeal-leachers' last barrage of palm attacks. “Priestess, what’s wrong with them?” Eshya winced at the sight of the three young men in similar conditions as the black-haired woman, regarding her head security with little mind. “A parting gift from the goddess’ children, no doubt.” She spread her joined palms skyward while whispering in seconds of hushes. Four specks of light orbs flickered into existence and widened at a steady

The temple of Wisdom has maintained an indomitable status for almost ten decamillennia as the most sacred ground since it was first established, not just to the people of Stell City but to the nation of Igineri and the continent of Ayika at large. It has factually remained a place of divinity since ancient times, with great mysteries that continue to repudiate the unveiling eyes of Science and its appeal to logic. No published knowledge has successfully made it past data-analyzing, whether it be trying to understand the changed biology of a newborn Holy Warrior or barely getting a comprehendible peek into the phenomenon of the holy star symbols. Taking up the entirety of the city's Southeast is the temple's territory – primarily bounded from the edges of the city towards the center at a right angle point of contact. At the noticeable center of it is the largest building of the entire city – Comet Tower – a centric perfect circle stretched to a height well over a thousand meters and s
