They are usually conceived of as being omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, and omnibenevolent as well as having an eternal and necessary existence. They appear in many form and sometimes forgotten with the passage of time.
But what if they are real? Existing like humans and animals breathing freely? What if once again, they tried to co-exist with humans, a lower level of their shape that couldn’t handle to breathe the same air they are and couldn’t bear the pressure of their authority which bound them to go back into ashes?
What if they initiated an attack, bigger than the humans could fend and even all the races combined, couldn’t survive a single wave? What is the possibility of humans and other races to be still able to witness the miracle which bestowed to them by the Great? How would they survive the ordeal made by Gods that chose to overthrow the

Sky snapped his fingers and the black mist travelled to the air and made the children asleep. Fall was alerted but when seeing that Sky knows what he is doing he just inquired what is it that needed to treat the children ranging 15-19 like that? He looked at him for a long while before answering.“I know now how to save her but I needed no eyes to see it. Will you help me?” Fall looked at his unwavering gaze before sighing.“From the very first day that we started to travel to this land, I am already in your disposal. What is it that needed to do?” Sky smiled weakly before he pointed at the barrier that they put up while sitting on the ground and closes his eyes.“I needed you to maintain the illusion I had put in there so that no one can pierce through and peek at what I am about to do to save this kid.” Fall was about to ask for more but Sky is already unreachable because his mind wa

West Entrance, Lumin Town of Luminus Empire.A few minutes had passed and trickle of sweat were flowing down of the two’s forehead while they are meticulously injecting small amounts of mana to help fix her mana source. Sky had a conclusion. If mana is life and you casted a holy attribute magic with an intention to heal, would the effect doubled? Sharing it with Fall, they took the shots and they are making progress more than just plainly injecting their mana to the child. They just had to stay that way for about a couple more minutes and the more complicated procedure will start.“Cygnelius, is what I’m doing right? It’s not harming the child right? But you didn’t tell me something…what would happen to this child if we remove all the mana in her body and exchanges it with death? Would it end up for her…” Sky didn’t continue what he is thinking and stayed silent.&n

West Entrance, Lumin Town of Luminus Empire.“Sir, what happened? Why are we inside the house?” Caccius respectfully asked while rubbing his eyes. The others were still lying on their beds and making Zs but since Caccius was the mature one, he adopts very well. It seems like Fall didn’t heard him asking because his attention was towards Sky who is talking with the knights right now.What happened to the fight? He just went to put the children into bed and clean Felice a little then when he got back to check onto them, he saw the group of knights that is talking with the two that looks like old friends reuniting after years of not being able to be in touch with one another.Caccius mimics Fall and walk towards the window; move the curtain enough for him to see what is happening outside. What caught his eyes was the mark of blood on the ground. He’s wondering whose blood it is and why they are insid

West Desert, Luminus Empire.To be clearly frank, Sky has no business to be in this place if not of that particular thing that caught his attention.There is cactus here! This is definitely a cactus! Sky gleefully touches the spikes of a green plant that scattered in the desert. How long did he last these cute things but different to Earth, these are humongous! Sky was about to try and look at the inside structure of the plant when all of a sudden he catches two shards of ice coming from his left.“I apologized for coming here without permission but I just got distracted by these things”, there is no use on exerting force if you can make peaceful approach…right Ki Lin? Are you seeing this? Sky couldn’t help but wanted to boast when few shards were coming to his way again. This time Sky uses wind to stop it midair.“As much as possible I don’t want to fight and you

Joyous melodies from the laughter and giggles of children to old at the open land of sands that Alena and Sky made a makeshift table for everyone to eat. Alena was amazed of Sky’s precise and smooth handling of magic and unlike her who can only use three elements as one, it seems like this gentleman can do more than her! That alarmed her for a little bit but upon seeing her people’s happy expression and their vitality being replenished by his cooking.Sky, flipping a meat from his pan, the aroma travelled to the very deep sides of the west desert. The people was then entice and now happily sharing a meal with their love ones. She hasn’t seen them this happy. That’s why she deeply appreciate Sky being here and is doing his best to fulfill the ends of his promise.Glistening in oil, a little not too much it gave the meat the glow effect that invites people to eat him.

Sky heaved a very long sigh before he continued to go back to his home. The darkness was already swallowing the brightness that scoured all over the corners of Luminus Empire. He still couldn’t believe what he had done for the day.“Man! I still feel cringey over that beaute’s sudden proclamation of love! Gee! Good thing that they got distracted by you! Thank you for saving me there!” He lovingly caresses the thread that swirls around him as if answering to his affections. The sharp thread that killed many almost felt like silk to him were dancing in the air like an idiot and since the one holding it was famous for that adjective, no one will doubt were could that behavior adopted.Sky plucked his ears from the sudden feeling of someone badmouthing him. He unsummon the thread that either vanished in thin air or go back to his ring. He spent his peaceful time flying over the ruined empire that is slowly rebuildin

Epilogue (2)
"Are you sure we are good to go now, leaving your majesty alone? HEY! SAY SOMETHING!" I grab at her shoulders which showed me her crying face. I got startled and don't know what to do, I saw her wipe her tears and made a protective barrier made out of mist.My brows furrowed and I couldn't understand why. We are staying a float in the sky. We couldn't land in the ground burning in fire."Mnnng.." I heard Fall gaining his consciousness and grabbing his head. Ciel and Alena were holding one another, he seems like feeding him with essence to keep her from losing control of not having being fed. While Thanato was keeping herself together. I couldn't understand what is wrong with her.A blinding light made us sleepy and then everything went blank. I heard the ringing sound of someone calling my name and I feel like it was something familiar.---"Nestor! Nestor!" Som

Epilogue
I thought that death is something painful that I would go through excruciating pain and my bones felt like being pound into dust but true to what the others said that what it would feel like.I lifted my body with eyes still shut close. It felt peaceful. Is this what it feels like being in heaven? Does Skyscraper have this Heaven and Hell? I'm sure Hades' palace is too grand to be called the dump of evil souls. But anyway, why does it feels so gentle and warm in here? I opened my eyes since I think it was safe not to pretend that I was sleeping.My limbs forgot to move. It was a utopia before the pollution from human waste for upgrading their way of living. Greeneries are abundant and the water from the stream I am near were as clear as crystal blue that reflects the bright sky. Animals from big to small were coexisting with one another. A predator taking care of a prey is a rare sight to see! I am mesmerized from what I am seein

Hold my hand I'm sleepy (2)
The space felt peaceful but there is a lot of scattered bodies drifting with the dust. They had been piled one after another and almost making a wall to protect Skyscraper. I went inside the mana ball that is pushing the carcasses away and I could see Arao happily humming while still shutting his eyes close. I tap his shoulders. He looks frail pitiful in his child's form. Maybe that's why Mother is always beside him. He looks like a child that needed attention."Brother Sky! Are we done? Can I open my eyes now?" I was pulled out of my thoughts when he suddenly talks. I smiled and patted his head."You can open it up now Ra. Don't be surprise to where we are alright?" I informed him since this is rather a new place for him to see. He move his head up and down before putting down his hands and jumped towards me. I chuckled and then I patted his head again."Are you ready for the journey that we will take?" I

Hold my hand I'm sleepy,
I walked towards Arao and in my shoulders strapped and quietly hanging is a green guitar that shines a different glow when Melody uses it. A sparkling particle which in every move it makes, a powdery dust were coming out of it, making flowers, images and all the glee a person wanted to see. In my hands were two daggers that eminates the contrasting aura of life and death. Mixing together into a color of black and white, forming a familiar symbol that had been the picture of balance.Death and mana were circling around me, not meeting or greeting, going on their own way. The veins in my body popped and the chest that had been hurting for pulsating hard is now started to bleed. It made me smile."Can you help me out for the last time now? I know you have been wanting to pull me out of this but if you do that, the whole of the Skyscraper will fall and that is something I wanted to avoid since all the people that I hold dear is livin

End of the line
It was dark like Cygnelius and I's consciousness. But the different is this one has a sound of a child crying. It was faint at first, I thought it was just a hum in the air but as I walk closer to the source of it, the clearer it gets. There is nothing much in the darkness and it wasn't creepy at all. The comforts it could bring to you is boundless yet your eyes are covered from the real comfort it could do. I walked some more and I saw a little girl squatting in the ground while hugging her knees. She's hiding her face in it and her shoulders were going up and done. I went to my knees and waited until she calmed a little bit."Are you feeling a little better Hope?" But she didn't reply or even look to my face. She is still weeping on her own. I sat beside her and I was glad she didn't push me away. I stayed there and wait since the flow of time in the consciousness was faster than the outside. She perked up but still hiding her face. I smiled and didn't talk th

I bid my farewell to the both of them and went out of my body. It felt like my circadian phase had been messed up and I felt dizzy like what you will feel when riding a plane.I opened my eyes and was greeted with a quiet bursting of flames and there is no roars or shouts from Arao. What happened?I roam my eyes and couldn't find them both."Hope!" I shouted but I get no reply."Hope!" I repeated it once again but there is only silence. I couldn't feel her presence. I just went out for a short moment, please be alive! I used my wings and I kicked the foothold and my eyes scanned the surrounding but the fiery sea of fire is all I could see."Hope! Where are you?" I glided to the rocks on the sides and I almost slammed at the protruded rock behind it. I almost said goodbye to my head.I just said to keep him occupied! Why disappear with

["That mostly is my plan. Even though I wanted to give him a very rightful punishment but as things goes, I cannot satisfy my desires in exchange of the Skyscraper's survival...ain't I?"] I fixes my astral clothes just to dust off some anxiety inside of me from talking with her and seeing that serious beautiful face makes me fluster! It's different from talking with Thanato or Phoebe, this one is the real beauty but we have been talking since earlier, she haven't told me her name. Addressing her with ma'am and milady is too formal. I swallowed the lump in my throat and decided to ask her of her name.["But if you wouldn't mind...could you tell me your name so that I could address you correctly? It seems like to formal for addressing you milady all the time... So if you don't mind telling, grant my foolish wish?"] This aint me. This is because of her blinding beauty! It's making me more nervous, seeing her intensely staring at me right now. Why is her personality

The sun is the core and basic needs of a human being to survive. It provides nutrients and warmth also said to be the origin of life in Skyscraper. It was connected to the source of magic and sorcery. Without it acting as a medium, mana wouldn't be produced from the environment. In and which if you looked at it into a chef's perspective, it was the important condiment needed to make a dish flavorful.Mana is the requirement to do spells and heal someone. It's the basic requirement to do magic and the sun is the provider producer of it.I don't study college but in our highschool biology, Mrs. Reyes told us that the most important star between moon and the sun was the provider of vitamins and warmth. I wouldn't argue with that.The sun is the big ball of hot flames and many times bigger than the Earth. It's essential to living since humans are not immune to freezing cold and low temperature.
