Lord Shadow

Now that the three army had return to Pandemonium some people worried that another power struggle would occurs between the military faction and the officials of the Central Government

There is also the Shadow Guards, those people dressed up in dark clothes, blacker than then night itself.

When Sasha the Nightingale left Pandemonium to do god knows what, their influence and power waned.

But to some people that could see Sasha returning with Death Monarch, they surely could not help but thinking that Shadow Guards would regain back their influence. 

The Shadow Guards have always bene the private guard for Death Monarch. Instead of calling them a guard, they are more like a blade for Death Monarch to use.

If Death Monarch never returns or perish in his quest for more power in some stars’ system in the Universe, sooner or later, the Shadow Guards would have no choice of being disbanded or being used by other people.

But since Death Monarch is fine and return even more powerful than before, then it is not an exaggeration to say that Shadow Guards would gain more powers than ever before in Pandemonium,

What would happen to them now and what would happen to those people who did not render them aid when they needed it?

What would happen to their lives, to their business, to their livelihood? These are the thought of normal people. These are the small matters that Death Monarch had never cares about.

Death Monarch is that lofty God living in high towers. He is so high that the normal people must look like small dots under his gaze

To catch the attention of such lofty God, one had to shine bright. One had to shine so brightly that the light could reach the Heaven

Loki even though he plays tricks and pranks, he dances among the people, laugh with them, laugh at them and he walks among them

He is not that high up in the sky. He likes his serpents slither around. He slithers all over the world like some kind of serpent that have some wanderlust

The people of Pandemonium fear many things would change now. Peace is so precious and so short. They fear another war is brewing underneath the calm façade of the sky.

And for the common people, the best they could do only pray and look toward that Palace in the center of Pandemonium with hope.

Creak!

The door to the throne room was pushed open.

Everyone come out of the room and everyone had something to think about after that meeting. Some of them look like they have a lot to think about. Some people walk out with nervous expression and some others walk with a frown.

Only a few people could be seen smiling when they come out of the throne room. Azief is still inside the room.

He is no longer sitting on his cold throne. He is now standing at the balcony of his throne room, his eyes looking at the distant.

From his vantage point, he could see all of Pandemonium.

Everyone was dismissed after he hears their reports. 

Even Sofia is not inside the room any more. She went out and she probably is waiting for him in that house with the white picket fence

Azief smiles a bit as he thought about this. Then he once again remembers what he saw and he sighed once again. 

Sasha had also been excused. Azief saw her following Sina. 

Considering what he had seen when he scans Pandemonium with his Divine Sense, Sina had once again enlarged her hut. It should not be called a hut any longer.

Though, it looks like a small area, Azief could sense that space magic and space formation was embedded into that hut.

Sasha would certainly have a lot to say to Sina. Azief is not the only one that missed home. 

The Three Army is ordered to return to their region and wait for orders. Will, his sworn brother promised to meet him in the villa of the Immortal Couple.

Azief himself also wanted to ask Will about something so he promised him that he will meet him when he had finished certain things in the Palace.

Azief is now trying to calm his heart and his mind. Because now that he is in Pandemonium, he slowly is discovering that he is slowly forgetting the things he saw in that Time Tunnel.

Like some kind of dream he had in the morning, the more he tried to recall, the harder it is to remember

Maybe this is the way Time tunnel work. It gave a glimpse but then he did not let him remembers.

Or maybe this is how Fate and Destiny try to correct the course of time. He is not surprised. Messing with Time had always come with certain consequences. 

But he did not want to forget. If he was weaker than he is now, probably there is a lot of things that he would have forgotten

No, he is sure of it. If he was weaker he would probably forget even more vision of the future. The Laws that he had controlled prevent Time trying to alter his memories.

If Azief had landed in a world without magic, maybe he would not even forget. The rules of the world with magic is different with the rules of world without magic.

Azief still remember what he saw. At least some parts of it. He saw people crying, screaming and dying in his vision. 

He saw a lot of sadness and a lot of anger.

He saw himself getting betrayed.

He felt the memory is slowly slipping away from him. But he is not in panic. He could now only retain a bit of what he saw and he could only retain a fraction of the memory he sees.

But he could still remember how he feel when he sees it. Retaining emotions also could guide him to do what he must have to do

‘Hah’ he sighed. 

When he was standing there on that last step of the Supremacy Stairway, he had a plan. 

He did not mind taking the burden of the Etherna because he knows that he had to take a risk if he wanted to become stronger. 

The plan was to quickly break through to Essence Creation. Then he would hardly have any enemies in the world and in the Universe.

Even if he met those ancient beings that roams the Universe he will not be afraid if he was in Essence Creation, even if he did not achieve Perfection in his Essence Creation, he would still be able to escape if he met those ancient Beings.

Who would have thought that a trip into the Time Tunnel could change his plan? And then, there was that eye. When he was in the Time Tunnel, he saw a vision. 

He saw an eye. 

Not a pair of eyes. 

But just a single eye.
