This place gave an strong deja vu to Luke who was immersed in the aroma and the aura of the place, with royal items.
"This place is our home."
"Isn't it quite small for two of you to live. Just a room with chair, desk, pictures and royal treasury and some of the items or weapons." Asked Luke.
"This is just a small compartment of our whole base, or you can say checkpost of sector-S.
And we don't only have a group of two but of around 180 or 190 excluding the spirit army of ours.
There would be... or first you lurk down on the chairs and be ready to behold the knowledge of the Aetherions.
Abd remember not to unearth this knowledge between public or any closed to you because this knowledge is critical." Stated Valecrest.
Then the trio settled down on the royal purple coloured chairs with cyan colours leaf designs surmounting it.
"Okay now let's start with the introduction." Stated Luke as he got thrilled.
Valecrest started:
"So let's start.
This world or it would be better to say this planet is a reservoir of energy which the humans can't reach to, as it is in the deepest cores of our planet and when unknowingly ventured to reach it, its temperature surpassed the capacity of their appliances. Now it pop that how could we know 'bout this secret.
So, this takes us to the branch of Aether.
Aether is energy for us which defines our power. The user of Aether is called Aetherion. Now in the deepest core of our planets, we don't just have same kind of Aether but specefication in it.
There are different pillars inside the core of our planets which specify and defines the type of Aether encompassing it.
The pillars are:
Force-It gives abilities related to all kind of forces which exist.
Flesh-It gives abilites related to our bodies means biological powers.
Energy-It gives powers related to all kinds of energies which exist.
Matter-Gives abilities likes manipulating density, or volume or mass.
Space-This is a complex branch which only this pillar users can understand.
Time-This gives you abilities related to time.
Fate-This gives you abilities like increasing the chances of your next hit.
Shdow-Then this branch allows you to toy with corrosion abilities, necromancer abilities and etc.
Mind-Control abilities that toys with memory, perception and cognitive skills.
There are division of Aetherions too. The Aetherions who can only bind one pillar are third rankers and who can bind two are second rankers, then who can bind three are first rankers.
Now you would be marvelling that which is the thing we save the planet from so, they are the Aetherrors which is a combination of words:Aether and error.
So, basically when some Aether binds with other kind of Aether and forms a cluster of much Aether, so the place gets unbalanced due to which some energy based creatures are formed which could not be seen by naked eyes but only by Aetherions. They come over the surface of our planet and crave for the energy inside everything which contains large pockets of energy like humans, plants, trees and they do not crave for every but for some specefic ones. So they soak in its energy and the thing becomes lifeless means they are the lifestealers. They can also be formed in one pillar only if the too much Aether cluster at a same point.
There can be a interaction of even three pillars and it can form Atherrors. And there is also ranking in the them just like the Aetherions. So you can predict it."
"It would take some time for me to understand this complex topic but I'll in sometime.
So, basically I am one who can bind pillars and Aether, isn't it?"
"Yes."
"But why don't you disclose this to everyone."
"Because we don't know the objective towards which the humans will harness that energy if gets known and tries fully and reached it. It even can be bad."
"And you anticipate to recruit me.
But I fear that I do like these fancy things but I don't want to join you as I already have a full prepared life over the surface.
And I don't want to neglect it."
"What do'ya think that it'll be so easy.
Nah. King Shade is hunting out all the people like you who are unrecruited. He will kill you, destroy you, or probably control you."
"Now who is this King Shade?"
"He is the descendant of Shadow, who is caged in the divine prison who can come out after around 56 years. He once binded too much Aether with the help of a crystal which itself was the powerhouse of Aether, he means actually absorbed it and became divine being.
Actually, there were two crystals which were the powerhouse of energy, one which Shadow took and one which our ancestors took. Shadow used it and became divine but our ancestors blessed this planet by breaking the crystal inside the core of this planet. They could not keep that to only one guy or hide it anywhere because Shadow would have found them so they planned to break it.
And now King Shade is killing every user so that only Shadow and his descendants can use it."
"But still I am refusing as I don't wanna leave my mansion, money, and life which seems more promising to me."
"It's our warning not to deny as you be then hunted."
Wait! This story of crystal can also be false.
Just a story to emphasize me to say yes.
Now I understand their plan.
I am not joining them and this is rooted inside my mind.
"If you do wanna refuse then it's your choice." Said Julian, who took out a sharp object which was...a knife!!!
Seeing that object, Luke paced and rushed in the opposite direction of the room with dread.
He foresee the future and was now sure that upon being refused, they'll not leave him as they thought that he could disclose all the knowledge to everyone.
But before he could reach elevator, blood started dripping down through his shirt. He fumbled and dropped down and the world became black.
He woke a up with a shriek.
On his disorganized bed with blankets scattered all over it.
Luke could see one silhouette beside on his window and one on the chair.
And to his surprise.
It was all a Dream!!!
