The Outer Worlds 2

We attracted the attention of higher beings into the world. It is possible to move from one lower heaven to another higher one but it's almost an impossibility to move from a higher to a lower one. That was the common knowledge, but we were wrong as the higher beings descended into our layer.

We were given two choices,to be given the power which we seek or to be destroyed.

But the power which they say we seek isn't what it is. Soul locks were placed on us and we were forced to do their biddings; a seed of disobedience formed will directly lead to a soul explosion for the weak and loss of cultivation for our strongest.

We had no choice but to succumb; majority had soul lock places on them, killing their own relatives with their hands, their eyes devoid of any emotions.

Until a group of humans found a truly absolute source of power,one of which are us, The Abyssals. With a power that rivaled those that took away our freedom. We abyssals fought our captors our battle shaking the heavens. We send them running with their tails in between their legs.

With our powers, we bypassed the soul lock places on the human races. We led the human races into higher levels and our word became laws in the worlds.

Every new enemies that arrive to destroy the human races must be prepared to face the wrath of the Abyssals. We fought thousands of battles in thousands of years but our foes weren't weak either.

After a victorious battle with a particular strong enemy, we Abyssals were weakened. That was were our regrets started from.

We have forgotten the reason why the human races were under the soul locks in the first place.

Our search for an absolute source of power. The weakened Abyssals were chased throughout the worlds for the power they hold, we could only watch as we were killed by those who we fought to death for. Our reigns have ended they told us as they gathered on us overwhelming us with numbers.

A sacrifice was made by the Abyssal king in which our souls were placed in slumber maybe to never see the light of day again.

Now another race with the absolute power ruled the worlds, they call themselves rightful

kings of the human races while we were slowly forgotten by time. Any remnants of us left were eradicated. We saved the Human races when it was at its lowest, when it faced complete eradication. But at what cost? In the end do we control power or is it controlling us.

But I know we Abyssals will rise again, even if thousands of battles must be fought, even if thousands of lives will be lost again. Who can stop the reawakening of us ABYSSALS-

Vather slowly closed the last page of the the book. As he turned the book over he saw a word that shook him to his very being.

ONLY THOSE WITH AN ABYSSAL BLOODLINE CAN OPEN THIS BOOK.

A tear drop slowly rolled down Vather's eye as he reminices about his own past.

3 years ago

A young man stood in a garden surrounding him were three huge lynx. He clutched the long spear in his hand even tighter, his knees buckling unknown whether it's due to fear of the beast or the weapons weight. He slowly raised his gaze up to to see a man looking at him with amusement on his face.

A lynx pounced towards Vather as he quickly rolled on the floor avoiding the claw. A second lynx pounced on him as he raised the spear in front of him. An overwhelming force smashed against him as he found himself tumbling and smashing through the trees, blood pouring out of his wounds. All his body was screaming to him in pain but he ignored all that and quickly stood on his feet.A claw mark appeared on Vather's face in the next second as he screamed in pain.

The lynx surrounded him again encircling him. They could have easily pressed on their advantages and finish him but it look like they want to slowly torture him to death, his fear and miserable appearance only fueling their cruelty.

"This is the life of the weak my son. They have no choice but to scream in pain when attacked, their life completely at the mercy of their attackers. It made no change whether they live or die. They are worthless beings that can be toyed with and snuffed out with ease. You want to know who you are but with with how weak you are, how are you even worthy of the name celestria?"His father said with a dignified expression on his face.

Vather gritted his teeth even harder as he slowly stood up and clench the weapon in his hand even harder.

"No one was born strong". Vather said between gritted teeth.

"But the cats are the same age as you son, they are only fourteen like you too, yet look at how miserable they made you look", his father retorted the disdain in his smile only increasing even more.

"How can you Compare a beast to a human."Vather said his anger bubbling within him.

"Yet that's why they forever remain weak, they say nature is unfair, they look for reasons for their failure. The beasts have sharp claws and you have a spear also. I've done the best I could for you yet you tell their bodies are stronger than yours or they outnumber you. That's just because you yourself are weak".

The word 'weak' resonated continually within Vather's being, fueling him with an energy to prove himself strong. He stood up from the ground and ran towards the nearest lynx to him. A spear moved forward in the direction of the beast head but it raised his claw and smashed it at the spearhead, the force behind the attack made Vather take 3 step back from the force. He was seen running back immediately and slashing again at the lynx but the two other lynx already pounced at him from the side.

Vather seemed to have gone mad as he ignored the the two lynx, the beast smashed out with a claw again knowing it would only lead to the same result but it was wrong.

Vather changed the directory of his spear in the last second as the spear going for the beast head suddenly headed with speed towards it's chest. A painful howl could be heard as a spear puncture the beast skin emerging from it's back no doubt it's heart having been ruptured by the attack but Vather smile only grew wider.

His happiness was cut short when an overwhelming force smashed against his face and ribs making him smash through the ground small cracks appearing where he landed. Blood poured out from his mouth in the next instant as an overwhelming pain filled his entire being, his eyes became cloudy and was slowly closing even after he used all his strength to keep them open. He tried to hold onto his spear but strength was slowly leaving his body.

Two huge lynx ran towards Vather with anger of Vather killing one of their own. Two claws moved towards his head and chest as he had no doubt it will directly kill him but he had no choice. He could only watch as his head will be violently blown into nothing. He slowly closed his eyes which were filled with regret of dying at the tender age of 14.

When suddenly the two lynx just 2 inches from killing were violently blown into paste and gore, Vather's slowly closing eyes opened wide as he could see his father standing just an inch before him.

"You passed the 3rd test. You managed to kill a lynx at the first stage of body tempering".

That was the final word Vather heard before slowly drifting into the darkness.

Back at the hall

Vather slowly wiped off the tears. I've been called a weak person my whole life. My entire clan destroyed while I'm the only one left. I've realized one thing in this world. Only getting strong matters,anything else is only secondary. The Abyssals were weak,if they were truly strong, a weakened lion isn't what a dog want to fight with.

That's why I'll grow strong, so strong my name will enforce fear into worlds. If killing thousands of races will make all race fear me I'm ready to do that. I'll bring back my clan and put them back to the place where they belong, as the rightful king of the human race.

Unknown to Vather the crystal in his forehead was glowing a beautiful green light like a sleeping dragon slowly awakening. It glowed for sometimes before slowly returning to it's initial state but it's pulse has increased twice what it was once.
