Sylph who appear before them, stand tall, gazing at them, observing them
"Welcome chosen ones, I'm Sylph"
Her words echoed—not only within the room, but also within their very beings and thoughts. It wasn't quiet or loud. It was just, as if reality itself accepted what she had said as fact.
A heavy silence,
Then, A reaction.
"Ok, uh..Space lady, appearing out of nowhere, it's normal huh, completely normal"
Ethan was first to speak, his voice nervous but lighthearted with cautious running on his face.
He crossed his arm, trying to act normal,
"Do you mind explaining, why we are here 'Sylph'."
Karl who's standing, narrow his eyes,
"What do you mean by 'chosen ones'."
Eris also added coldly,
"If you brought us here, then start explaining what we are doing here"
Beside them, Ruby kept her composure, but her red eyes being serious,
"This is not normal-You don't just take people, even if you have reasons"
Violet however, remained silent, her eyes locked on sylph with strange, unreadable face.
And Nex,
He said nothing, But he watched, observing. He felt something about sylph, her voice, her face, her presence-something more than just an explanation.
She wasn't just watching them,
She is testing them.
Their looks didn't make Sylph flinch. Rather, she spoke while gently folding her hands in front of her.
"I understand your confusion, your suspicion. But listen well, for my words are absolute truth"
Her cold crystal blue eyes scanning each of them,
They flinch under her gaze,
"Every one of you carries the blood of a forgotten god"
Ethan's relaxed posture tensed. Karl's eyes became sharper. Eris's expression hardened. Ruby's breath tightened slightly. Violet blinked once, slowly, Nex face become puzzled.
"You are the successors to gods whose names have gone throughout time. Their power lingers within you, waiting to be reclaim"
Silence,
"That's why, You are chosen"
Ethan first to broke tense pressure,
"Wait, You are saying that, I-A normal person-carries diving blood?"
Sylph look at Ethan with sharp eyes,
"Nothing about you is normal, Ethan Veil, not anymore"
Gulp
Ethan swallowed hard, uncertain whether to feel honored or horrified.
Karl however wasn't convinced,
"Even if we believe you are telling truth, that doesn't explain why we are here"
'He's sharp'
Nex watching everything thought as he look at Karl with amusing face.
Eris stepped forward, her expression cold.
"And, why should we care?"
Sylph don't bother by their words, remained unshaken.
"Because you do not have choice"
The atmosphere tighten,
Sylph word feels like a threat to them,
Karl eyes gleamed with silent refuse.
"That sounds like threat"
Ruby voice warm, but serious,
"If you think we will just accept, then you are mistaken"
Sylph look at Ruby,
"Rejection is not An option"
"And-I do not ask for your acceptance, it's straight-up fact"
Sylph lift her hands and suddenly, The space around them disrupt.
Vision explodes around them, Sylph showing them history, No-showing them their past legacies.
They saw black dark space, after minute, A huge cosmos explosion came to space, That explosion create stars, black hole, planets, And also Deities. They watch as time flies by seconds but they feel they are watching from so many years. They saw how god, goddess living in realms.
But, A war start, between cosmic and chaos deities, opposite from each other, they loath each other, their morals, mindset and their essence are reasons why they can't be peaceful to one another, Even before and starting of war, That's how two realm born, Cosmic realm ruled by cosmic god, Chaos realm ruled by chaos gods.
But there are those who believe in Justice, Unity ,Righteous, Peace, Protect, Balance, Judgement, They didn't chose either sides, they were strong, fight for their beliefs and loved ones, But they soon consumed by both sides as they declare them threats to both realms.
That's how they called {The Great Forgotten gods},
The forbidden deities erased-not because of war, but for their beliefs and loved ones rather than their origins.
-------------
Everything back to normal as they stand there,
However, they lacked the aloof and rejected facial expressions from before, instead, they were unsure of how to feel.
The heirs unsteady, as if feeling the weight of those visions press into their very souls.
Sylph look at them with certain emotion,
"The gods are not at peace. They are divided—Cosmic and Chaos, locked in eternal disdain for one another. And beyond them, forces lurk that would see both realms fall into oblivion"
Her light blue eyes darkened.
"If you do not rise, you will be consumed. It is that simple"
Nex who was silent this whole time open his mouth,
"Who win the war?"
Everyone look at him, then at Sylph.
however, Karl kept his eyes deeply on Nex as he thought.
'Why do I feel, he's an outcast?'
Sylph look at Nex
'Why can't I see his fate? It's impossible unless [They] doesn't want me to see that'
"Neither Cosmic nor Chaos side wins"
Ethan show surprise look,
"But war happened between them, right? Why neither side won?"
Sylph face them and,
" The [Supreme]"
"They are the ones who stop war, and they are also who created me for your guidance"
"[Supreme] is one who maintain the Universes, laws and orders, they make sure that balance of universe and existence aren't in danger"
"No one can escape [Supreme], They exist before times and space"
Everyone gasp at the information of supreme,
"So, Did anyone of you have questions?"
Nex looking at sylph asked,
"What [Supreme] wants from us?"
Sylph expression unreadable,
"I don't know"
"When I was born, They assign us task and that's You complete the legacy of your ancestors"
"No more question after your basic trainings"
Ethan eyes widened,
"What training. suddenly, why?"
Sylph explain,
"To begin your journey, you must first understand yourselves."
Sylph snap her finger and suddenly,
Glow wrapped around each of them.
[LOADING POTENTIAL DETAILS]
"I am granting you access to a 'Status Window' "
"It will act as a basis for your development and allow you to monitor your progress. This is a requirement, not a gift, and it will guide you as you walk into your forgotten legacy"
Before the heirs could answer, a transparent interface appeared before them.
[STATUS WINDOW] appeared.
Each heir's specific stats, abilities, and hidden potential were shown in brilliant writing. The words seemed to vibrate, as if they were eternally linked to their own existence.
Karl laughed, his black eyes narrowing as he quietly examined his stats.
Eris folded her arms, unreadable, though her cautious gaze darted between the interface and Sylph.
Ruby and Violet Everhart remained quiet, their expressions filled with both curiosity and wariness, Violet then glance at Nex shortly, then retake her eyes, her expression still unreadable.
Ethan let out a low whistle.
"Well, damn. Guess we're in a game now, huh?"
"Nex, What do-"
"Hey Nex, are you alright?" Ethan froze, he look at Nex who is just standing like he seen ghost.
Then—Nex breath hitched.
Because while everyone received a standard glowing interface, his was different.
