A hazy layer of clouds covered the brilliant sun in the sky, obscuring its dazzling rays. Their was no sign of the moon to be seen. Throughout the mortal world, a gusty wind dominated the atmosphere. There was nothing that could stop the lush nature from thriving.

On the horizon, a mysterious voice rang "Your first test is to find the END. There you will be trained". Then a breeze of wind passed, and the voice faded away.

Luna stood still. Her eyes riveted on where Hades previously stood.

sigh she sighed with relief. Her unshakable ambitions were clear in her bright blue eyes. "Father, I am going to avenge you" she declared with hate in her voice.

'I wonder how strong I am?' she asked herself. She was much stronger than before, but she had no idea if this was enough to avenge her father.

whoosh

crack

The ground cracked under the pressure of her footsteps. Her speed too fast to be seen by the naked eye, left after images.

In a split second, she was in front of a thick dark tree. She took a deep breath. Then clenched her fist.

Boom her fist hit the tree. In the middle of it, there was a giant hole that had been made. No blood was to be seen on Vanitas's hand. She chuckled "soon", "soon assholes".

Vibrant green leaves fell from the tree to the ground. Slow. There was a slowness to their fall, a slowness that was too slow. Luna was puzzled. 'Did my perception get that much better?' 'But there were not only slow, but they were also fast and too insignificant.'

Now that she thought about it. Her thinking was much clearer. Everything seemed insignificant. The passing of time did not affect her.

'Immortality' this was the only assumption she could make. 'Is this how gods see the world? No wonder they do not care about mortals. Mortals die in a mere blink.'

Her perception of people changed. She was now an immortal being. But vanitas is no god. She does not posses divine wisdom nor divine power. She was but a pawn in their games.

'Now how do I find the END?' she asked herself. 'Who could know this'.

Her gaze found itself on the broken tree before her. 'Dryads. I need to find Dryads, they are long-lived beings, some even immortals. They should have heard of where the entrance to the undergrounds is.'

Whoosh Vanitas started running toward the nearest known dryad forest.

The forest was made of majestic thick trees. They were full of life. The sun seemed to make their leaves even more dazzling. Some trees had fruits in them. But contrary to normal trees there were no fruits on the ground or semi-eaten.

"Hello" a feminie voice came from behind Luna.

She tuned her head facing the woman. The woman had long brown hair with apple like red eyes. Around her head was a tree branch.

"Are you a dryad" asked Vanitas

"Hello" repeated the woman

Luna sighed angrily before asking with non care "Good morning".

"What's your name" inquirred the woman

"Vanitas" responded Luna.

Silence. Vanitas was still waiting for an answear, before she found out why the woman wouldn't answear.

She clenched her fist and asked "What's your name"

"[name]" responded the woman before calmly asking "How are you, what a beautiful day it is, isn't it?"

Vanitas grit her teeths. She was on tye verge of punching the woman.

Seeing that the woman said "Wowowo. I was just messing with you. Don't be so serious."

Luna became even more angy 'I'm going to rip her piece by piece" she thought.

"Yes I am a Dryad" responded the woman. "So why have you come into those woods" inquired the woman.

Vanitas directly went to the point. She didn't have time to play games with her. "Do you know how to acces the END."

The Dryad looked puzzled at Luna and asked "Why are you asking this? If yyou want to die you can just ask."

"Not your matters." Responded Vanitas of the blue moon.

"Ok, ok. No, I have no idea where it is" she repiled "but if you want you can see-"

She didn't have time to finish that Luna had already dissapeard.

She just went back on her journey toward finiding another Dryad.

However "No"

"No"

"No"

"No"

The Dryads have no idea where the entrance to the END is.

Luna made herself on the way toward the nearest village. She passed through plenty of houses. After walking for a few minutes, she stood before a restaurant.

Her stomach rumbled. She chuckled a little before going in. The restaurant was full of people. On every table there were people eating. She ssearched a bit for a table where people would not upset her.

There it was. An old man sat alone on a dark table. He had blue eyes and white hair. He slowly ate what was on his plate. His movement were gracious.

Luna looked at him with uncertainty. No. More like around him. She could see some sort of mystical force around him. It was like an extension of the old man. It was a mix of gold and white.

Wise. He seemed unnaturally wise. Was he a human? A god walking amongst men or another mystical being?

Luna slowly approached. She passed through the mass with no difficulty. Then she was in front of the man.

The man looked up from his plate. Their gazes met. Their blue eyes seemed to go deep into the ocean of the minds.

"Do you want to sit" asked the old man
