Lord Shadow

At that time Fir Her Waz had some problem with his positioning system and the location to Earth was lost.

Since he could not turn back, he had to made do with the modification he did in the Static Star in the Irtanian galaxy.

Fir Her Waz felt the peculiarity of the situation as he quickly walks to the main deck and check the main frame of the artificial intelligence. There is nothing wrong with it.

The first thing that Fir Her Waz was concerned about was the possibility of being infiltrated by certain psychics or technopath.

‘Explain to me how could you find the coordinates suddenly?’ The projection once again appears beside Fir Her Waz. 

‘Someone send me a message’ the projection said in that calm robotic tone of voice. Fir Her Waz eyes narrowed

‘What is the message?’

‘It is a complicated code. When Sir asked me to check the damage, someone send me this code. I had no choice then to decrypt it since it could not be removed from my system pathways’

‘Explain from the beginning’ this time Fir Her Waz is excited. His green skin is almost glowing. 

He is excited but he is also cautious. 

For years he had been searching the planet Earth. 

When he went out from Planet Belthana after gaining the information that the All Source is on Earth, the spaceship shows the location perfectly. 

It was a long journey but the fact that the destination is there made him motivated.

But along the way, as he keeps hiding from some galactic forces and dodging recruitment by some space pirate organization, the coordinates just disappeared from his spaceship system. 

At first he thought it was a technopath that tries to hinder his goals.

He knew a few technopath from some of the space pirates he had encountered. 

Maybe they felt dissatisfied because he did not want to join them and because of that they wanted to sabotage him

He stopped a fleet of the Merchants of Sarens and send his spaceship to be inspected but no infiltration by a technopath was detected

Then when he is on an abandoned star system the coordinate once again shines brightly in his intergalactic radar. But when he followed it, he got lost in a space rips.

So, the moment he heard from his AI that he now had arrived at the galaxy where Earth was located he was excited but he needs to confirm the news first before he made any moves.

He checks the message and he saw the codes.

‘You get the location of Earth from the decryption of the codes? He asks his AI. His AI nodded.

‘Could you determine who sent it? Is it the Intergalactic Channels? Or is it the Deep channel?’ Fir Her Waz is curios who is the one helping him from behind. 

If this info is true, then that person knows why he is going there. 

But seeing the news that happened in the Omniverse, no one knows that he is seeking Earth for the All Source.

There is no one chasing him right now

This means, whoever this person is, this person is not using this to his advantage and maybe this person did not want the All Source and they share different goals.

To many of the forces in the Omniverse, the World Orb is simply a fragment of a powerful artifact. 

They did not know that the seven pieces when united become the All Source, the very same weapon used by the Creator and the Destroyer to annihilate the Etherna race from existence.

Fir Her Waz had polished his knowledge about the All Source. 

It is a mythical weapon that is said to be used by the Creator and the Destroyer to destroy the Etherna race under the order of the One with Many Names, the One and Only, the Supreme One, The First Being.

Whatever one wanted to call this singular being with no equal and no comparison and no sameness, it is said, that The One and Only, the First Being was the Creator of All.

And the Etherna was his first creation. 

And to some civilization the Etherna is nothing but a myth. 

But some of the more advanced civilization knows that the Etherna once existed in the Omniverse and that they were rulers and conquerors of the vast Omniverse. Because of their unrelenting greed and brutality over creation, the Supreme One tasked the Creator and the Destroyer to annihilate the Etherna race from the face of existence.

And the weapon that was used to destroy them was none other than the fable and mythical All Source, said to possess the Life Formula, possessing the ability of All Creation.

Of course, to many, the All Source is simply a mythical object. Some even said it was a hoax created by some organization in the Universe.

But when he had found out that the existence of the All Source was real, he began to collect any information about this mythical object.

One of the requirements he had read about the All Source that it could not be held by one without a pure heart.

That is some of the lore regarding the All Source. 

And he also had found out that the fragments that was fought over in the celestial war five thousand years ago was because of the All Source. 

Though, the Intergalactic Alliance change the name of the fragments into the fragments of the World Orb. 

No one could possibly have imagined that these fragments when united will become the All Source.

Those who got the fragments of these artifacts five thousand years ago become the seven great civilization of the Omniverse.

If many forces of the Omniverse knew that the All Source is on Earth, sooner or later, they would gaze upon that planet.

And when that time comes, Fir Her Waz is not confident he could fight all those ancient beings. 

As he was thinking of all of this suddenly he was brought back to the current situation by the voice of his AI

‘There is a name that popped out when I finished decrypting the code’ His AI reply.

‘A name? And what is the name?’

‘Yewa Hafar’ And hearing it instead of showing a face of puzzlement, Fir Her Waz shows a shocked expression. 

Instead of asking more he went to his control deck. 

He teleported a book from his personal deck and the book appears in front of him. The book is covered in leather-bound skin of some monster. 

It was shut tight by a lock. 

And the entire book emanated dark mist that is restrained by the golden lock that lock the leather bound skin. He brought out his keys and put it in the lock and open the lock.

The dark mist was restrained by the golden light that emanated out from the golden lock. 

Then Fir Her Waz quickly went over the pages only to stop at one page that he had read before. The name Yewa Hafar shock him because he had read about such name before in this ancient book. 

This one page is full of ancient writing and an illustration of a city in ruins with the dead screaming. 

Yewa Hafar could hear the screams even though it is just an illustration. 

While others may not be able to read these ancient writing, he could. He bought something rom the Merchants of Sarens so that he could read these ancient words.

The title of this page is Yewa Hafar.

He read it once before. 

But like many others before him, he thought this is just another lore. 

This lore is not about the All Source. It is a lore about the Destroyer. It is said that the Destroyer has these Acolyte of Dark Tidings. 

He read again that passage he once ignored

‘Yewa Hafar is one of the Acolyte of Dark Tidings. This being is created solely to fulfil the orders of the Destroyer. Out of the other Acolytes, Yewa Hafar ability in scheming is the most adept among the other Acolytes. He serves always as the vanguard of the Destroyer to celebrate his descent.’

Reading that passage again, Fir Her Waz felt chills in his heart.

He then turns to his AI and ask

‘Are you sure the name is Yewa Hafar?’

‘Yes, Sir. The name is Yewa Hafar’ Fir Her Waz excitement is doused like a fire being extinguished by a cold water.

His mind is in a mess right now

He walked to the starboard, looking at the stars around his spaceship and he look intently in front of him. 

He is thinking why would the Acolyte of Dark Tidings, the servants of the Unholy Being would help him in retrieving the one thing that could reverse the effect of the Destroyer curse of destruction?

He felt like he is now a pawn of fate and destiny.

He squinted hard at the stars. He felt like if his eyes are better he could see Earth in the distance.

But no matter how he looks he could not see Earth. But he then as he was about to think how to respond to the coordinates that Yewa Hafar had sent him, he could see something twinkling in the distance. 

So, he squinted his eyes again.

Shock filled his heart.

Stars glittering in the distance and then as he squinted he could see it. 

‘Magic’ he muttered

He saw a road of stars guiding him. He turns toward his AI and said

‘Chart a pathway to Earth. Follow the stars’ he said and the AI nodded as the engine of the spaceship is once again restarted and then it started to move

To Earth.

On Earth, inside Pandemonium, while the glow of the Centre Palace covered the entirety of Pandemonium, on the Southern side of Pandemonium, a woman whose face is covered by a white veil is performing a sword dance inside her courtyard. 

Her sword pointed toward the sky. No one could see it but each time her sword pointed to the sky, a star shins up there in the Heavens.

This woman is none other than Somi, the Fairy of the battlefield. In six years she had rarely made an appearance in the world stage. 

People though she had faded into the background. She had married the Southern Suppressing general of Pandemonium Wang Jian five years ago.

Since then, she was more at home. People thought of her as a devoted wife and someone who could calm the heart of the Great general of Pandemonium.

But Somi never forget the deal she made. She wanted her sisters back. And for that she had learned the Dance of the Stars taught to her by the man in her dreams.

She could not have known that she is the pawn of Yewa Hafar. A pawn that could become a Queen that toppled the King.

While the dance is being performed in Pandemonium, somewhere in a mountain in Porto Velho, a man covered up by a wolf fur look at the sky and smiles.

‘A road of stars to guide the lost and the wayward. The Wayward Son of Yrinia would come to Earth. Loki, you protect the King. Now, I bring you the Castle ahead of schedule. Let see how you would deal with this.

He smiles and then he laughs. 

If one heard his laugh, people might think he have some emotions of positive nature. But the Acolyte of Destruction, the Acolyte of Dark Tidings had never had such emotions. They have desires and obsession.

While the sky of Pandemonium is clothed in golden splendor, up there in the sky, stars twinkle beautifully.
