Some days pass, the gods gathered at the domain of restoration to begin the reincarnation protocol of their chosen protector.
Jericho Von Menssai was summoned and he stood in front of all six gods, they all explained to him the reason of his summons and what previously transpired on earth, and also what is currently happening, with his kingdom and his brother, it was all overwhelming to him and he had been frozen in shock from the moment he received the information, it was all so unbelievable to him, but then again he is in the presences of actual gods… "and in light of all that dear Jericho, we the gods of your earth has chosen you to help us liberate the kingdoms and also stop Jace" said Bios… "we know you feel he is your brother, your best companion, but he isn't your brother anymore Jericho, even without adding the fact you died already, Jace has the blood and divine energy of that evil god Pluto, there was hate in his heart and Pluto took advantage of it, he isn't Jace anymore Jericho, the people are oppressed, there is unnecessary wars and panic all around the world and it's all because of Jace… you are our only hope to stop him" added Nous with pain in her voice… "I can't believe this, not Jace (burst out crying) it was all my fault…. my fault… my fault… I left him… I left him all on his own (sobbing) am a horrible brother… and person" said Jericho with his hand on his face sobbing profusely… "no Jericho, this isn't your fault, and you are not a horrible brother, believe me, I know you more than anyone else… your kindness knows no bound, you are the splitting image of your father, you care so much for others, Stranger and family alike…. that is why we need you right now, that's why we need that amazing heart of yours Jericho… the people of earth needs your kindness my child… be their voice of hope, strength and courage… be their hero" said Desmos with sadness and kindness in his voice… "are you… (sob)… are you sure you really want me… I couldn't even protect my father, brother and kingdom… are you sure you can trust me with protecting a whole world?" asked Jericho with sadness in his eyes and doubt in his voice… "sigh… okay that's it"… "Nea Zoi, what are you doing?" asked Meta with a panic tone… "listen up kid, you messed up, you and your father died and your brother is now a lose lunatic, seeking revenge against the world… how do you think we feel, when we were supposed to be the ones protecting you all, we failed, but still even as gods we do not have control over everything… all this things happening is what we gods call faith, it was destined to happen, that doesn't make it your fault or make you a horrible brother or person… but do you know the good thing about faith Jericho (Jericho looked up and locked eyes with Nea Zoi when he heard that question and shook his head) faith is always yours, depending on your decisions you can change your faith or your destiny… you couldn't before cause you didn't understand the situation around you, and you didn't have the means to change it then… but now Jericho, now you have those two important formulas… this is your chance to make up for what you couldn't do when you were alive, you should relish it, embrace it and grow with it… get your brother back from that sadistic god… save your kingdom, and make your father, us the gods, but most of all yourself, proud… you are our hero Jericho, act like it... we believe in you and what you stand for, that's why we all chose you… now believe in yourself" said Nea Zoi with conviction in his voice, the other gods mouths dropped opened and they looked at Nea Zoi blindly, not believing what they just witness from him, cause it was completely out of character for him… "yes… yes… you are right… (picking himself up and wiping his tears) I won't waste this chance to make things right, I will repay the faith and trust you have in me, I will get my brother back , no matter what, I will be our world's hero with your blessings and guidance" Jericho responded with confidence in his voice and a bow to the gods… "thank you Jericho…. you will be reincarnated with your old body and still the age of when you died… but be careful, your body won't be the same, it will take sometime before you get use to it" Bios stated, staring into the eyes of Jericho… "I don't understand, how would it be different" Jericho asked with a puzzled look on his face… "well… you won't be an ordinary human anymore, you will be able to manipulate something called soul energy" said Nous… "soul energy?.. what's that all about… is it bad, will it hurt?" Jericho asked with a scared tone… "for your enemies it definitely would" Nea Zoi responded with a laugh… "owwww", (Meta hit Nea Zoi in the stomach) "shut up you lazy god" said Meta with a frown… "no no, it doesn't Jericho, it's a source of energy all living things has but only humans can manipulate it to it's full potential" answered Zoe... "yes, yes… it gives you the ability to manipulate the elements and more for the most talented.. the Drakziel and Demonoid uses soul energy too but in a different way than human would have… as you may know, they are very strong, fast and heal from almost any injuries and more we may not know about" Nous added… "that sounds unbelievable… but why couldn't we use it all this time"... "well, it was too dangerous to grant humans that much power at the time, they would have used it to hurt and oppress each other through fear, wars and and intimidation… power is like water dear Jericho, it can be calm, comforting and life saving but in the wrong hands it can be like a hurricane or flood, destroying an entire country within a blink of an eye, be it family, friends or strangers, it acknowledges no one in the hands of a tyrant" Desmos responded… "I see now, to avoid tragedy and encourage unity with all mankind, the use of something like that was prohibited, but with the recent distress on our world you have no choice but to take the risk in order for us to protect ourselves against this recent unknown form of enemy" said Jericho while nodding… "yes Jericho you are right, that's another reason we need you, to let them understand the changes on the horizon with the accessibility of soul energy… so they won't be scared of it, when they see their hero is also blessed with it… and also some humans of the current generation soul energy will be activated too but they won't have the luxury to fully utilize it cause firstly it wasn't meant for their time and secondly their body is already fully developed so it won't be free flowing as the generation it was truly meant for, there is another way they can use it without hurting themselves which we will pass on the details to you soon… you have to be there to explain all that to them so no one will endanger themselves" Bios responded…. "I understand, so in my case am able to use it cause am getting reborn as a sub god right"… Jericho added… "exactly, your genetics isn't plainly human anymore… you will be a sub god" said Meta… "I see… so what ability would I get" asked Jericho sounding a little excited now … "well that truly depends on you, it depends on the element you are truly compatible with and that is decided by your personality, your heart and you inspiration" Zoe answered… "tho, in your case, with how huge your heart is am guessing you will be compatible with my godly ability of misconception, which I will be blessing you with of course… some might call it illusion also, but it will still be up to you if you can truly control it, it's a really complicated ability and extremely dangerous if not properly mastered, in case you manifest it do not use it just yet… also that won't be the only ability you will have but if I have to guess again it will be between gravity or mercury manipulation"… said Desmos with a smile… "and you will be the only human able to use more than one ability… well human-ish (a little laugh)… it's rare and for a good reason… don't use that and the fame you'll get to do what I wouldn't do dear Jericho… wink wink" Nea Zoi added with a laugh while thinking about picking up girls… pow!! pow!!… "owww hey what did I do" said Nea Zoi in pain… "keep your lazy and perverted self away from Jericho you crazy god" said Meta fuming with a pout, Jericho couldn't help but laugh at the sight of Nea Zoi and Meta... "pay them no mind Jericho, that's how they always act" said Desmos… "yeah… see them as a cute comedy duo, couple edition" said Nous with a laugh… "hey, I object to that, you can't tell me Nea Zoi's face doesn't infuriate you guys too, come on.. look at him" said Meta while turning red… "well excuse me" said Nea Zoi with a surprised look on his face… "yeah I've concluded, Meta is in love" said Desmos with a nod… "definitely in love" Zoe added… "so in love" Nous agreed… "no…no.. no am not, you guys should stop picking on me (pow!! bang!!… she hits Nea Zoi again)… "owwww… come on Meta what was that for this time" screamed Nea Zoi in pain… "shut up you lazy perverted god, this is all your fault" said Meta completely red with embarrassment, Jericho couldn't control the laugh at this point… "am glad to see the gods that watches over us are this close, your bond is extremely pleasing to see"… the gods couldn't help but smile at the words of Jericho "okay, okay but who would I have to help me master my abilities, am new to all this it will be difficult to learn on my own" said Jericho as he changed the topic…. "fret not Jericho, with the blessings you'll receive from us you will also gain memories of experiencing training on how to use your abilities, you will have to use those memories to perfect your abilities yourself, all we could do was give you the experience, it's up to you to perfect it… and also you will gain a few information about what we meant by this current generation being able to manipulate their own soul energy another way, since it's to dangerous for them to do it the normal way" Nous responded… "you won't be alone cause you will have our blessings dear Jericho… and also anytime you want to talk to us for any reason, even if it's cause you miss us (smiles) you can use the Evlogia Ore, it's located with a trusted subordinate of ours at the Holy Kingdom of Righteous" Meta added… "a human subordinate?… I thought you weren't allowed to interfere with the humans" asked Jericho in a confused tone… "yes we are not allowed to and we haven't… don't worry when you see him you will understand" Desmos replied… "thank you my gods… am ready… am ready to return and save my people" said Jericho with a smile… "well it's about time, I thought we would never finish from here" Nea Zoi interrupted with a huge sigh… "yes.. let's get this started shall we… Zoe, you may proceed" said Bios, Zoe nodded in response… she then stepped forward and placed her hands on the head of Jericho, some vines burst out from the feet of Jericho, enclosing him in a cocoon, the rest of the gods stepped forward, they all then stretch their hands towards the cocoon and it illuminated with a very bright glow, it was the gods giving their blessings to Jericho, after some seconds the glow subsided and the other gods stepped back leaving just Zoe, she then snapped her fingers, and the cocoon like vines turned into a bright light ball floating in the air and then it disappeared… "good luck dear Jericho, we will do our best to assist you from here, save the world… hero" said Desmos while staring into the distance… "he is going to be fine Desmos, you were right, he is an amazing child, I really do believe in him, now we have to assist him and watch over him" said Nea Zoi to Desmos whom nodded in response… "yes Nea Zoi is right… he will do great things, he is an excellent choice" Nous added… "Nea Zoi where did that speech come from, I was so surprised and scare, I thought it was a Lost that took your form" Meta stated making her way to Nea Zoi… "oh yes, it was completely out of character that I almost ordered for you to be locked up, cause I thought you were an imposer" added Bios… "please warn us next time you want to change into a totally different person so we won't mistakenly send you to the Asphodel Fields" said Meta with a laugh… "jeez… give me a break you crazy gods" screamed Nea Zoi with embarrassment… the other gods burst out laughing.
