Prologue:
25 years ago
Billions of coruscant stars are scintillating in the bed of somber sky, giving magnificence to the large radiant glowing moon. A lifeless melancholy sea was below the beauty above but doesn't affect the paradisiacal vibe that the atmosphere gives.
Two anonymous people was sailing prohibitedly in the Forbidden Sea. The female one was sitting classy and with sophistication with her companion oaring the boat going toward the direction of Darkkion Island. It is the only place in the forbidden sea and can only be found in the middle part of it. This part of the sea is very perilous. It engulfed with strong immeasurable high-speed endless waves, whirlpools and curses casted by the Supreme Beings of Atlas that no one can diffuse even the casters themselves.
The two now reach the dangerous part of the forbidden sea. A sign of trepidation and fear was not seen even a glimpse in their god-like faces. Her companion stops paddling and dip its hand in the water. Few seconds after, a blindful semi-yellow luminous light came out from its hand conquering the whole portion of the sea in an instant.
As his light fades, the whirlpools, curses and waves vanish along with it. Yes, it is stated in the history that no one can void the casted spells in this sea but her companion is not just an ordinary Asterisk. He is extraordinary than that and even more powerful.
The hostile sea was now calm and quite, her companion grabs the paddle and start oaring once again like nothing happened. Minutes had passed and they can already see the island from their distance. The Darkkion Island was triangular in shape, with four gigantic stone pillars encircling it.
The egg-like rocks that lies at the surface of each pillars glow abruptly as they react to something. The intruders perhaps. The light in every egg-like rocks are the four historical Elements of Atlas- fire (ruby), water (sapphire), air (diamond) and earth (orc).
These egg-like gradually shape itself into a humanoid-like rock. A GOLEM. Four giant golems were exposed right before their eyes. The four powerful Elements of Atlas can visually trace in their cracks/raptures.
The Air Golem fly with agilation. While in midair it covers itself with white light which is its power- the wind. The golem now travels like a shooting star falling toward their location with incredible speed.
"Jiro." She mentioned her companion and it just respond with a nod. "I'm on it." He said as he walks at the back part of their boat. Jiro point his hands at the water and close his eyes to concentrate. He converts the energy he had absorbed from the spells casted in this sea inside his body and emit it all at once.
A massive force came out from Jiro's palm making their boat move faster than before.
They have no plans on dodging the Air Golem's attack. They fastened their speed to match with the Air Golem's because they have something in their minds.
She stands up and walk calmly toward the edge of their boat as she slowly removes the fabric covering her hands. After she's done she point it to the Air Golem.
The eye in her palm opens and a violet light with dark shades appear engulfing her hand and form a dark ball. She extricates it to the Air Golem after distinguishing the perfect timing.
The dark ball was like a comet that travels through the air like an arrow being released using a bow. A loud explosion was made after the collision of her power and the air golem itself.
When the explosion disappears a pixie dust-like particles fall from above. She made the golem minced as a sand.
She gazes at the remaining golem who are now preparing to launch an attack. But she won't let that happened. She closed her eyes and start sensing her power inside.
Another eye was open but this time it was in her middle part of her forehead. She was about to use one of her Aster's capabilities- The Vanishing Glare of Death.
As their eyes met with the three golem they suddenly start screeching as they were in excruciating pain. Before they vanish into thin air their husky voice echoed in the whole island and disappear completely.
A powerful barrier welcomed them as they reach the island. "Now what?" Jiro asked.
"Stand Back." She mumbled.
She touches the barrier to feel how powerful the seal is and a flicker happened. Her two pair of black eyes are now magenta in color. As she gazes upon the barrier, it starts melting like a candle.
When it completely vanishes, the island was seen clearly. It was… dull. Dead leaves, decomposed bodies and bones of different creatures, river consisting of black and dirty water and a dark vibe. Everything in it was perfect in their perspective.
They stop walking as they reach the front of an eerie cave with a very dark entrance. They continue to enter like the eerie atmosphere was nothing to them. As they take a stride, one by one the torches that hanged at the walls lit on their own.
A thirteen statue with a strange symbol beneath them that links everyone like a web appear right before their eyes.
"Tryghon is not here." She muttered.
Jiro took something out from his pocket and give it to her companion. The girl started to uncover the fabric and an eyeball made of crystal was exposed.
She went at the middle part of the web-like links that engrave on the ground and put the eyeball in the center where theeyeball fits perfectly to the shape of the hole.
The crystalized eyeball glow and trail the links with its light up to the statues. The statues begin to break and their eyes light until the whole statue cracks.
The statues came to life. Their body is now flesh and not made of rocks anymore.
As the statues gazes at the them, Jiro started to tremble just because of their presence.
They have this devilish aura emanating from their bodies that can make you feel and see tangibly your nightmares and darkness itself. And at the same time he feels mesmerized as he witnessed the Thirteen Knights of Tryghon in person. While the female beside him remain emotionless.
"Miló! sto prósopo pou mas édose elefthería (Speak! To the person who granted us freedom.)" asked Mhandaro, the four armed sword warrior.
"Eímai i Minérva, ekeíni pou eínai proorismós gia na ekplirósei tin profiteía tou patéra mou Trynkón, ton Víaio Theó (I am Minerva, the one who's destined to fulfill my father's prophecy Tryghon, the Vile God.)" the woman stated full of authority and respect.
After ushering those words, the thirteen startled as one of them begin to bow and give the lady named Minerva the respect she deserved. The others follow.
" Τι θα κάνουμε για σας την ύψωσή σας; (What can we do for you, Your Highness?)" the creature who bowed first asked. Eudora, the snake serpent.
" Είναι απλό. Κερδίστε τον ημιτελές πόλεμο. (Find HIM.)"
"Όλα σκοτάδι"
"Granted."
