[ '–––' ]
[ The God 'Elyon' asks in shock if you just smiled. ]
' You imagined it '. Eden said staring blankly.
[ The God 'Elyon' insists that he didn't imagine shit. ]
' Whatever '. He said rolling his eyes.
" Lucia ". He called out to the maid, standing few meters away from his bench.
" Yes young Lord ". She replied. Looking forward to what he had to say.
" It's a year already... shouldn't they have come back home by now?. He asked calmly.
By they Eden meant his Father the Emperor of Auron and his older twin brother.
" Yes they should have....I don't know what's causing the delay ". She replied genuinely confused.
Silence returned for quite a bit. The wind ruffled his hair as he backed in the sunlight. Seemingly lost in thought. Till he spoke again.
" Do you remember what I asked you a year ago?.... I need your answer now ". Lucia stared at him in a daze for a good whole minute before a beautiful smile graced her delicate features
" My Lord I believe you already know my answer. I trust your judgment....you've changed a little bit since last year...you seem to now have a goal..... so I'll support you anyway I can.....even if you want to leave ".
Yes. A year ago Eden told Lucia he'll leave the Manor before his Father and Brother return. He had to leave this place in order to grow faster. He needed to embrace danger.
Besides Elyon told him to visit certain places in this galaxy...The Xorion Galaxy. He prepared in his words ' surprises' in certain places.
But he wasn't strong enough to survive outer space so he put a pause in that plan and opted for the dungeons and special realms around Auron.
He already had a few in mind and since he needed subordinates. He was ready to free a certain sealed existence.
" Haaa.... Alright prepare everything I'll need for a long journey.... I'll leave tomorrow." He said again in a tone of finality.
" As you wish young Lord ". She replied with a bow as she walked away. Leaving him with his thoughts.

A boy could be seen sitting at the edge of a cliff feet dangling. The cliff was so high up one could see clouds all around him.
The good looking boy possessed long silver-white hair that stood out even among the clouds, and mischevious blood red eyes that gleamed dangerously.
A playful smirk seemed etched permanently on his face as he hummed a tune semingly enjoying himself till he froze. Then he spoke.
" You're late.... Old man " He murmured, though no one else stood on the cliff with him—at least, not yet.
As he spoke a man appeared. The man had fair skin and a mane of black hair fell down his shoulders in waves.
He was a very good looking man but there where a couple of strange things about him
His black hair had tinges of white and he possessed cold Gold eyes that seemed to see through everything.His eyes glowed brightly.
" I am.... Something is holding me up...we'll have to delay our return". He replied as his cold voice echoed strangely.
" Hmm.... Explains a lot.... did you really have to create this just to pass a message. We have phones remember?". He asked teasingly but he was only met with silence.
His smirk expanded into a full blown grin as he laughed heartily.
" Ha ha ha....You were worried about me huh?....you missed me that much that you had to see me in 'person' ".
He added hoping to get a reaction out of the ever stoic man but he got only a blank stare.
" Tsk....worth a try I guess ". He said clicking his tongue as he stopped trying to get under the being's skin. He stood up and approached the older man.
The golden eyed man continued staring at him blankly till he spoke up again but the corner of his lip twitched from time to time. Clearly irritated
" I see you've reached peak Pulse.... Good job. He said coldly but you could see the Pride in his glowing Gold eyes.
At his words the boy puffed his chest and smiled wildly.
.... I also received news that your brother has reached early Pulse". Added the man clearly amused.
At his words the young boy.... or rather Adrian Von Astoria froze in disbelief.
" The Fuck?!!! ".
