The walk of loneliness
"Where am I…did something happen to me, is this sand"
As he ascended from the earth, the fine grains of sand slipped from his weathered garb, like the fleeting nature of mortal existence
"Is it perhaps night… Remiel am in the dessert" muttered Aetheris as he looked at the sky.
The sky was a vast and endless void, a canvas stripped of the brushstrokes of light and darkness, leaving only the infinite expanse of existence in its most raw and primordial form.
The sky was a cryptic tapestry, woven from the very fabric of nothingness. Swirling patterns of emptiness danced across the void, a formless canvas devoid of stars, clouds, or moon.
In this desolate expanse, the absence of being itself became the only presence, a haunting reminder that the abyss of non-existence is the canvas on which the brushstrokes of reality are painted
"Remiel…, are you giving me a silent treatment again" sighed Aetheris as he felt grains of sand enter his eyes
' I didn't do anything wrong this time, it might be this place… I should create a cloak, although I can't feel the cold, having dust enter my eyes constantly is annoying'
With a snap of his fingers, small black threads began to cover his entire body as they created a black Noir cloak that truly complemented his hair and eyes
The cloak was simple, and hence it blended easily with the environment, his facial features were hidden, but his eyesight was unaffected.
As He turned around, he saw a beacon, but it was very far away, there was nothing around him except sand and the beacon
"There are no instructions and I don't know what to do, Remiel said something about the Formless Absolute Eternal Void… I don't know what that is.
Approaching that beacon is a bad idea but… it might be the only thing to do "chuckled Aetheris unknowingly with a sly a grin
He began to run excitedly as he approached the far away, the idea of danger and exploring the unknown excited him greatly, which is usually against his paranoia.
....
"Remember you begged her to come back while she begged him to come all over her back
Young ones nowadays have no dignity, just because you're thirsty you shouldn't drink poison
You know, I used to be the number one hero, I defeated All-"
"Why are you concerned with concerns that aren't yours, Just put the fries in the bag"
*RUMBLE RUMBLEE RUMBLEEEEE*
"What's happening… Is it a dungeon break?"
"Perhaps a seismic quake"
The ground began to rumble as the two men spoke, countless people in the street began to complain as well, the rumbling was happening in a town under the jurisdiction of the Luminous church
The Luminous church is located within the Jura Kingdom but unlike many cities and towns of the Jura Kingdom, the Luminous church is an independent state not the vessel of the kingdom
The seismic quakes were resonating throughout the entire kingdom, but… there is no phenomenon in the sky, there are no dragon roars causing unnecessary drama.
This means there are no thousands of years old monsters who exited their seclusion due to the sudden seismic quakes
…
"That Aura feels… sinister, it's quite overwhelming"
Triny was floating on the sky while observing the room where Aetheris was Awakening
The room was surrounded by a perfect black oozing sphere that surrounded the 1 km radius
The reason there was no phenomenon was this black sphere, this kind of awakening usually causes a phenomenon that attracts unwanted attention, but the sphere actually devoured the phenomenon
"The life around the sphere is slowly dying… I should contain it" sighed Triny with worry as she looked at the surrounding area.
Plants were slowly losing color as time passed, the sphere was devouring the Energy and Essence of everything around it.
With the snap of her fingers, small yellow particles of light began to manifest as they surrounded the sphere
The particles formed four pillars of light around the sphere, thin layers of condensed sheets of light were between each pillar forming a cube…to be precise, a barrier.
"At least this will contain… What the hell"
The barrier began to warp as it was pulled by the sphere, small particles of light were absorbed by the sphere
The sphere was breaking down the barrier into smaller particles than before but due to its density and condensation, the process was almost stagnant
*PING PING PING PING PING PING PING*
"What is that atrocious sound" Muttered Triny as she looked at the ground
On the ground, a white cat with a blindfold stood on two feet as it rang a floating Bell
"My young master is an ontological marvel, a paradigmatic exemplar of the human condition, elevated to a state of sublime transcendence.
His existence is a testament to the boundless potentiality of being, a shining beacon illuminating the labyrinthine complexities of existence.
He embodies the apogee of wisdom, compassion, and virtue, converging in a singularity of excellence that transcends the mundane.
In his presence, the ontological fissures of reality are momentarily bridged, revealing glimpses of the divine.
His words are mantras of deliverance, dispelling the opacity of ignorance, and his actions are talismans of hope, redeeming the desolate landscapes of the soul.
He is a cartographer of the human condition, mapping the uncharted territories of the heart, and a hierophant of the mysteries, revealing the hidden patterns of existence.
His presence is a grace, a benediction bestowed upon a world in peril, a reminder that the possibilities of being are infinite, and that the human spirit can ascend to unparalleled heights.
He is a living testament to the power of wisdom, a paean to the human condition, and a shining exemplar of the sublime"
Sebastian was looking at the sphere while chanting and worshiping like the true cultist and fanatic he is.
"What are you doing, you're disturbing my time of devotion do you want to die" questioned Sebastian as he saw Triny descending from the sky while approaching him
"I apologize but, I can't sense him… Where is he and what is that ominous sphere"
Triny was filled with concern, the presence of Aetheris disappeared, and the sphere was preventing her from using [Universal awareness]
Sebastian felt this concern of hers as an opportunity for gloating, knowing more things about his young master that others didn't, meant one thing to him… that he was at the top of the hierarchy among the people who were involved in his young master's life
"Since you are begging me then this senior will be polite, Unlike others who receive pathway formations from The Visionary
my young master has to confront trials of independence, to put in simple terms he's going back to his roots"
