Cynical.

A tunnel structure with marble walls reflected by pale lights from candles that seem to be ever burning.

Amidst the dim lights are murals that depicts stories of great violence and bloodshed.

Suddenly the quiet sacredness of the tomb is broken by loud squeaks from a group of red eyed mice as they scurry about to run from the foreign presences in the sacred tomb.

Walking in the passage were two humanoid figures, garbed in dark gold sci-fi armour with an helmet decorated on the inside by neon lights.

Suddenly the neon lights gathered together to form characters and written words in English before the eyes of the figure on the left.

Blink did you hear that?

Halting their footsteps the figure on the left responded with a neon light message of his own.

Yes, I did hear that chameleon.

Sounds like a group of mice made this place their homes. Very odd since there should be no food sources this deep in the great ruins.

We should remain cautious and vigilant chameleon. These murals are already enough gains let's see what the tomb of the warlock has for us and we can consider this run a success.

Resuming the walk the figure on the right replied.

Alright Blink, keep your essence circulating just in case we have to make a run for it.

Not long after both figures reached the end of the tunnel, before them stood a grand door decorated by more murals, the images showing a great battle between one figure wearing a mask and a plain white robe againsts five individuals wearing imperial robes and you could feel the sheer power radiation from them even through the mural.

The figure on the left now identified as Blink gave a command to his armour to record the new murals while sending a message to chameleon on the right.

What Age do you think these murals are from?

They look very ancient, might be from the age of warmongers or even chaos.

Chameleon responded;

Whatever age it was they are all dead now, let's get into the tomb and see what we can get.

Stepping forward to get a closer look at the great door, Blink found a lock that looked like an image of the world, a perfect sphere with all the landmark signs well accounted for.

A lock that gave him a shock at the implications, but one he has to confirm first.

Armour, scan lock and tell me the age it came from.

Ding!

Confirmed to be a world lock, from the age of gods.

At this time, Chameleon came forward to get a look at the lock too and similar shock could be seen in his eyes.

Turning heads to look at each other they thought about the meaning of their discovery.

World locks also know as the god locks are a symbol from the ancient age of gods.

An age generally agreed to be the first period in existence, a time when the gods were awake and actively walked the earth.

Every age after that in the long history of time was only ever kick-started by the discovery of a World lock and likewise ended at the third discovery of another world lock.

The present Age is known as the age of union, an age made possible because the first discovery of a world lock was by five individuals from the remaining continents of the world and with similar strength there was no champion of this age only coexistence between all five.

The second world lock was discovered during the global competition, a discovery that made this age the one after the age of warmongers to have the highest numbers of Forges¹ and Infernos².

And now we have discovered the third world lock deep inside the great ruins. Just the two of us, do you know what this means? We'll be the strongest of this age.

Both of them placed their palm of both sides of the lock and started pushing their soul power inside to activate their great serendipity.

But unlike the expected world brand they should receive and a rapid accession through soul power levels, they lost control of their bodies and started fading into the murals instead.

Unbeknownst to Blink and Chameleon, the group of red eyed mice have been stalking them and they have come back with a giant mouse that is now out to hunt them.

Fully conscious to see the mouse race at them chameleon whose essence was the void faded into the murals very quickly leaving blink with half his physical body left.

With a great leap the mouse tore the other half of Blink's body in half amidst a muffled roar of pain and anger by chameleon.

The tunnel is once again quiet and sacred with the red eyed mice patrolling it and a quiet feast going on by the mice eating the remains of Blink's body and Armour.
