Chapter 1597 Gathering

Borgan seems lost in her memory as she keep talking about the houses in Etherna. Though, Azief did not hate it.

more information is good for him.

"House of Tos is a house usually producing great generals for the Etherna. Sometimes, they fight with us, sometimes they fight against us. As you could guess, they like to fight. And before Time arrives, before Death arrives, fighting is their hobby. But when Death arrives, the House of Tos, died in great numbers and so a peace was brokered between the House of Gan and House of Tos"

She paused for a second and then continue saying

"Fighting like they did before, is not really viable when they could really die. And unlike many of the other houses, the House of Tos really does cultivate familial feeling and they are fiercely protective of each other"

She paused for a second and sigh. She closes her eyes and there is a smile on her face. It is clear she is reminiscing about something.

"Because of that agreement the House of Tos who is usually a troublemaker become a protector of the House of Gan. And after a few dozen generations., the House of Gan and the House of Tos are allied houses. This alliance was born out of necessity but grew into genuine camaraderie."

"The House of Tos is also one of the noble houses that follows the order of the King of Etherna"

"What you are seeing right now, is the dusk of my race. But before that, there was a period of warfare"

"Before we set our sights on the stars and planets outside of our skies, we also have wars among our owns. When many new things are introduced to creation, clearly, new desires also aroused. Some wanted to be peaceful and some wanted to unify the lands of the Etherna, gather and pool intelligence so that more things could be achieved"

"There is many kings that wanted to rule the Etherna, those with ambitions rises up and Etherna that likes to fight gather under the banner of these kings"

"House of Gan supported one of the Kings and because House of Tos is allied with the House of Gan, they also supported the same king. This King would eventually unite the Etherna under one banner and he is the King of Etherna"

"And after that, the House of Tos become a military noble house, their generation serves the King of Etherna"

'Only...Phaitos is different than the other.....as you have seen. He did not like fighting. But he carved his own path. His love for crafting things make him one of the best crafters in the Supreme Dimension.

And then she remains silent and Azief frowns. He did not think that the Etherna also has noble houses.

At least that is what it sound to him. Azief then focus back at the conversation in the chamber.

...

Not a moment later, a lightning flashes inside the chamber and someone new appears.

It was none other than Asargan, his body is filled with arcs of electricity swirling around his body.

Asargan who enters the chamber seems battered and wounded in many parts of his body

"The Destroyer?" Asargan nodded to Phaitos question. Phaitos sighed.

Azief seeing this Phaitos felt a bit jarring compared to the image of Phaitos he had seen before

He could not help but say "It seems that Phaitos seems mature"

Borgan chuckles bitterly and then said

"Time.....matures everyone. If you could not mature, then you would be engulfed by the world"

Azief nodded agreeing with Borgan on this as his eyes look back at the scene that is playing in front of his own eyes.

Phaitos is tapping the side of his metal forge with his finger, seemingly thinking about something

Then he nodded like he had made some kind of decision.

He opens his palm and a hammer flew to his hand. And then he throws the weapon to one side of the cave chamber

BOOOM!

A resounding sound of explosion rocks the entire forge. And there on the walls of his forge, there is a hole. But inside that hole one could see all kinds of magical weapon that they never have seen before

Phaitos then enter that hole and then seek for something. Coming out from the hole on the wall, he brought out a vial

Then he tosses it to Vorgan and Asargan

"Use that. I use the essence of the world to refine that liquid. Among other things"

Asargan and Vorgan did not hesitate as they chuck the liquid into this body. And then in just a second, their injuries and their hidden injuries is also eliminated.

It was almost like they were never injured but Phaitos still could see the aura of death around these two. And those two could also feel it

"The Destroyer magic is a kind of pure destruction. Purer than anything I have ever seen or control" Asargan said as he sighed.

Most of their physical injuries is healed but they know that their fortune and luck, these intangible things has been eroded by the attack of the Destroyer

The Destroyer is not only symbolized destruction. He is the darkness. He is the cold. He is doom. He is bad luck. He is the opposite of good and fortune.

And today, they finally felt what that all means when they fight against him

"Where is Borg-" Phaitos was about to ask where is Borgan but before he could ask such question, there is a sound of thunders and streaks of lightning illuminating the sky outside of the forge.

And not before long someone appears again in the forge.

It is Borgan. And just like the others she is hurt. But others injury is easier to see. But hers are not.

Because only her aura seems unstable but her body did not show any peculiarity.

"Are you alright?" Phaitos ask. She did not answer she just nodded.

Then she brought something out from her sleeve .

It looks like a piece of a crystal.

She toss it to Phaitos

Phaitos took it and crushed it and the moment it get crushed; it turns into light and that light enters Phaitos body.

And Phaitos immediately understood what he must do. Azief watching this could not help but seeing the crystal and thinking of his own experience.

"Is that the way they transmit information?" he thought to himself.

Phaitos sighs a moment.

He then walk to the side of his forge and look out of the window.

Azief also follows Phaitos and tries to see what Phaitos is seeing.

But what he sees is only the lava volcanoes but it is clear that Phaitos is not looking at those lavas spewing from the volcanoes.

It must be something else.

So, he look at Phaitos eyes and he could see that Phaitos is looking at the sky.

So, Azief also look toward the sky and when Azief pays attention looking at the sky, only then he could see it.

A great battle is being fought and powerful fluctuation spread out all above the skies.

Azief could not see who is fighting whom, all he could see are effects of their power. And Azief could also not see the enemy that the Etherna is fighting with but after listening to the conversation, he could guess the enemy.

The Destroyer.

Azief then returns back to the chamber and waited to see what would the other Etherna said. Phaitos sighed and then he said

"The Destroyer could not defeat us before. Why now....."

And there is silence in the chamber. Borgan sighs and then she said

"When the Universe was formed, the Supreme One created the First Race" Borgan said to Phaitos

'The moment He created them; He was no longer the only being. Before he created the first universe, there is nothing. The moment he created the First Race, The Creator was born"

"And with that Life is created out of nothing. A few trillions of years passed as the Supreme One look upon the First Race. He then discovers that the First Race did not change much from the day He created them. They remain the same. They get up in the morning, eat in the evening and sleep in the night. Then they repeat this for trillions of years without ever changing. They do not rush to form bonds or to make children, neither do they rush to do anything. Do you know why?"n).OvelB1n

Phaitos did not answer.

He tries to think the answerer but he could not say anything.

"Phaitos...is mature now" Azief mutters and Borgan click her finger and the scene stops

"Phaitos at this moment in time also fight alongside the others. He had lost brothers and sisters; families and he suffers many sleepless nights. Now, he no longer just have forging as his only thing." But saying this Borgan smiles bitterly.

"you wanted him to stay a child?"

"Would it be so bad?"

Azief did not know the answer to this question

Because he did not experience the kind of thing that the Etherna experience. But then he clenches his fist and become determined.

"Pain always mature people. If he keeps living...how could he expect to be happy every day. You said it best. Sadness is necessary for happiness to have any meanings. And hardship is necessary to mould a character"

Borgan hearing this only chuckle.
