Chapter 544 Truth

Because he was not the one that started the game, Matthias's three parts had to follow along with Kadeon, and he had been forced to give up certain information. I was scouring that info now because this was the last time that I was going to be able to stop time in the Mortal Realm until I took on my Royal Guards to get to Kadeon. There were three worlds here, and I had to complete each task to move to the next, but that was all I knew besides the tasks that needed to be done and a rough description of each world.

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, feeling the wind blow in from the windows. I had done it, I was back in control of my world, but now I had to make sure that Kadeon didn't take it away again. The only way to do this was to divide the realms and protect them both.

It was going to be a long road, but I was determined to succeed. No matter what, I would undo this reality and return us to the one that was stolen, but that wasn't the only thing that had been taken from me.

True Magic. The power to change anything just by will alone. A power that could be used in any way, but there was a catch.

That catch was that the True Magic that my people used had been stolen.

Matthias had once been my best friend, and we trained together for the first part of our lives. The entire time we have been getting ready to accept True Magic, but something happened when we both touched the Eye of Truth. Matthias became instantly twisted by the True Magic, and I instantly knew that he was my sworn enemy. The two of us were forced by the True Magic to do battle and destroy our home until there were only the two of us left.

I could see the moment clear as day in my mind's eye.

"Is this what you wanted?! Are you satisfied now?!" I screamed at Matthias as we both hovered far above the surface of Bellia, our once beautiful and versatile world that was now a barren, lifeless wasteland.

"Would it make you happy if I said it did?" Matthias laughed and then threw up a shield of darkness to black as I hurtled beams of pure white light.

"Why?! Why did you do all of this?! Why did you change?" I screamed, and darkness exploded from him.

"Because she was mine, and I loved her! You took Hele from me! You could have had anyone!" Matthias screamed as we started to clash again.

"You let darkness into your heart because she loves me and not you? You brought about the destruction of our race and world for something that was never meant to be yours?!" I raged, the anger of a lifetime coming to the surface.

"Now we both have nothing! Don't you see?! This has been the point the entire time! I had to take everything before you would agree with me!" Mathias laughed and stopped attacking me.

I stopped as well and narrowed my eyes at him. "What are you talking about? What would I ever agree to after all of this?!"

"To remake reality. Together, we will become the Gods of everything, and we can have everything that we have ever dreamed of! All you have to do is join me as one, and we can both have three Hele! You can have as many as you want, just like before! You do like to get around, so this should be a pretty good deal for a man whore like you, right?" Matthias asked, and I held up my hand.

Light gathered and then split into three orbs as the Eye of Truth that was always in my mind told me to do. It seemed that whatever test that it had required of me was now over, at the cost of everything.

"What say you, Galio? Or do we keep fighting?" Matthias asked, but I just shook my head, and then he started to scream as I mentally pulled his life force from his as a small golden light surrounded by a storming sphere of darkness. His body started to eat its own hand, but before it could eat more than one finger, I destroyed the body.

I then tore him into three separate parts and Sealed them all in a dimension, forcing the three to live out mock lives of what they wanted, but only to fail every time. This was his punishment, but somehow, Kadeon had learned about Matthias.

This was the part that I didn't understand. I told no one on Prime about Matthias, so there should have been no way for this to happen. Yet, Somehow Kadeon had gotten the information, but what did that mean?

What is the Eye of Truth again?

I opened my eyes, and then took a deep breath, and closed them again, but this time, I cleared all thoughts from my head and began to meditate. Once I was able to place myself into a trance, I projected out of my body and stood in front of my body.

I pulled another copy of my body out and then opened it up. Instead of seeing organs, I pulled up the layer of me that represented my Mana. I looked at my head, and there was a tiny pinprick of pure white light.

"That is pretty small," a child's voice said from beside me, and I became still.

"So you have been here the entire time?" I asked slowly, and the child-like laughed, but this thing was no child.

"As long as you exist, then so shall I. You both are forever linked to my eye, and I will watch over the two of you until neither of you exists in any reality."

"Why did you let him free?" I asked, but there was a sigh.

"That is not something that I did. The answer to that question can only come from the one with the answer. That would be Kadeon. Knowing this answer will not help you, but it should stand as a reminder for the future. Matthias will try all that he can, but I know that you can achieve what you desire, Galio. You know that I did not make Matthias this way. You both asked for True Power, and you both received it. The results were as expected, and when I was satisfied that everyone that had been party to the crime had been killed, I allowed you to do what you would with Matthias."

I turned, and I was pulled across dimensions and reality until I stopped to stand on a small mirror-like surface. Everything around me was a vast space but crystallized. While in this place, I could see all points of time of this reality. I was here, but I was also everywhere in every direction at once.

Before was a massive egg that was also freshly hatched, and a young adult prismatic dragon, while being the one-eye great dragon.

This was Truth, The Prismatic 4th Dimensional Dragon that the people of Bellia stole the eye from.
