Chapter 1 - Prologue

 In the grand palace within the pleiades star cluster, three divine figures studied a crystal ball very closely. Another figure with a staff and long robes looked over the three. She looked like a goddess in high position.

 "But are you sure of this fate, your majesty and my sister?" asked one of the gods who was studying the crystal ball. He was tall, had flowing white hair, and was a possessor of a good-looking face.

 "Are you questioning my decision, Erytos?" retorted the emperor in a cold voice. "Of course I have set my mind, my first of three younger brothers."

 Erytos shook his head quite hurriedly and answered his older sister. "No, not at all, your majesty. I was inquiring because I thought Eryen, our youngest, might be quite shaken for his world's fate. You know his soft personality well, Ecthelir, my ever-admirable sister and emperor of the cosmos."

 "True enough, Erytos is, your majesty," spoke another god. He had a muscular body and the same white hair that Erytos had. His face was not as handsome, but quite fair. "What would Eryen think of this?"

 Ecthelir's raised an eyebrow. "Do you think your question is directed to the right person, Ergalis? If you are so interested and caring for Eryen, then ask his opinion."

Ergalis turned to Eryen, the siblings' youngest, for his opinion. "What do you think, Eryen? It is, after all, your world."

 Eryen only nodded and responsed, "If that is what her majesty chooses for my world, I'll gladly accept it." Eryen had white hair, cool eyes, and a small lyra in his arms.

 Erytos and Ergalis's face flushed at Eryen's decision. Apparently, they expected a negative response from their youngest brother. But Ecthelir smiled.

 "How excellent of you to follow my decision, Eryen!" she exclaimed. "I shall then give your world a peaceful future that their creator earned for them." She turned to her other siblings and ordered, "Get ready, we are going to get a break from work."

 As the three gods excused themselves, Ecthelir smiled quite menacingly. The fate shown to her brothers in the crystal ball was only a sample of Pasadia, the planet of Eryen's, future.

 About an hour later, the same gods gathered inside the room again. Ecthelir swung her staff a bit, and a hole appeared in thee ground. As if it is normal, one by one the immortals slipped off into the cold darkness of the universe, their destination, for the time being, unknown.
