the truth of the past

Before sending Alex back to the mortal, they checked his body for any abnormalities which aren't found. But they saw that power there is even a trace of it still in air. It's not an illusion. Alex returned to the mortal realm while the two gods went to meet the Trinity.

Eleanor looked at the three of them and asked," he, how could Alex have the powers that Syrus sacrificed himself to save others by sealing them inside his soul. Tell me, how did he resemble my firstborn in everything? Is he really a soul you created for me? Or is it?".

Eleanor thought of something and looked at the trinity who fell silent. They took a few moments and said," the one who suffered most in that war are your son, you and Raphael. My daughter, we have no choice but to reincarnate his soul in many mortal lives to purify that power sealed in his soul. It extinguished his memories and that power is finally subsided after millenniums. Forghve us for not telling you that Syrus soul survived. At that time we aren't sure if he can let that power go yet. So we had to make sure everything in a plan of action for the creation to exist".

Eleanor and Raphael trembled at their words and asked," so he is really the reincarnation of syrus. Why didn't you tell us?", The trinity looked at each other and said," we don't want to make you sad. If the soul of syrus isn't purified yet, we planned to sent it again into reincarnation for multiple times until it's pure and then make him reborn again".

Eleanor looked at them and said," so you only wanted to test and kill him, raise him and see if he is in control if not kill him. Like a lamb for slaughter", the trinity looked at them both and said," some things are necessary my daughter. But you can rest assured. The chaos and abyss are dead. Their powers are all devoured by syrus soul through burning them wuth the life flames for many millenniums".

Eleanor didn't look convinced while the trinity said," if we said his soul survived you won't stop until you got his soul. You must know the horror of chaos and abyss. We can't take risks", Eleanor and Raphael nodded while asking one last time not to do anything with syrus reincarnation.

Then they travelled back. Eleanor took large portraits from a box out and looked at the picture similar to Alex but much older with a smile. She remembered how mischievous her child was. Roaming the gods realm, playing pranks and making everyone laugh.

The giggles, those running steps, the joyful face, the sunny smile with a hint of mischievousness, everything flashed in her eyes. Raphael placed a hand on her shoulders and hugged her while Eleanor and him began to feel guilty.

They couldn't forget a nightmare. The last smile of their firstborn who saved the all the creation including the gods by sealing those ancient powers inside himself and as a result he blew up. That sacrifice is the regret every god that survived, that smile is the blame that etched into their hearts and remained as painful stab, a never healing wound, a scar that can never fade in history of gods.

The heroic sacrifice of the god of war, space-time, fun, and judgement. Syrus, the firstborn child of Eleanor and Raphael. The god and goddess are able to bear a child, but after the war that left wounds on her, Eleanor's only chance is to become the embodiment of life and same with Raphael.

To buy them time to fuse their divinity completely with their soul, their firstborn fought with the ancient powers. All gods are in the same situation. To survive from their desperate situation they became embodiments of their elements after the trinity gave them the energy.

But they need someone to buy them time, it's syrus who took it on his shoulders. He lunged forward and fought those mindless things while they fused with their divinities completely. By the time it's finished though it's too late. Syrus who couldn't hold them anymore has to seal them inside him.

Which resulted in self-destruction, they win the war but at the cost of syrus life. Eleanor who is caressing the portrait with a smile looked at razkiel that appeared. Razkiel asked a question," how did my nephew hold the power that syrus sealed inside himself?".
