Noble In Black (updated)

In the beginning, there was nothing but the stars of the boundless universe but one

Day, a star-filled with ether, came to earth. The power that comes from ether makes the Impossible possible, but how does it work? It works by connecting a person's

Spirituality to the realm of ether. When this occurs, you can use special abilities,

But ether is also dangerous to human spirituality. Why you ask? ether can destroy the

Link to our spiritual body, the effects of this is the complete destruction of the human mind. If ether manages to destroy that, then that means that all who use ether would've been dead by now,which is why during the new age we found a way its called the ether network, it's a network that connects your spirituality body to a core which is a weakened version of ether in the real world.

Now, how does one connect to this core? We connect to the core through a soul device think of it like a good memory you have, this could deepen your connect to your core ..but everyone has good memories but these memories are connections to a pathway these pathways are what the 10 lords went down, the 10 lords helped us develop this system the core is made from one's

Spirit , we are all born with ether some way or another. Our spirits push the ether

Together into one clump of ether, then the core is born. The core needs a way to live, so it collects the ether from outside

The ether that is outside is not harmful to anyone but if you absorb too much you could die from ether poisoning. once we fill our ether to a certain level we can now use an ether code

What is an ether code? it's a code specially designed by your core to use the abilities that come from that pathway from the 10 lords.

" all of this is a theory but as a professor that is in love with history i just love this theory....Now we will move onto…." before the professor could finish the bell rung.

'What the hell did I just sit through? Wait where am i is a more important question'

"Mr. Alexander do you have a question?"

Alexander's thoughts were in a race he was confused his eyes darted left to right his gaze landed on a blonde man in his mid forties that is as fat as a pumpkin he had pale blue eyes and a chubby face

'Am I in a different world?... before that I should answer the professor'

Alexander reached his hand to his chin this action made it look like he was thinking about something

"No,... I don't have any questions, if I have some I will come to you "Alexander said he wanted to bow to him but his body said that was not the best thing to do

"..Ah don't forget to do the homework, you've been lacking lately, I don't want all your hard work to be for nothing " the professor added, Alexander left the classroom it was pretty big but he did not care for the design.

--------

He reached a street near a park after walking for a full 10 minutes 'how did I get here? …. Why can't I remember anything? 'Alex's thoughts were flooded with questions a certain noise caught his attention it was a park filled with kids younger than him playing on swings, slides, and more, the kids were running around trying to catch a blue orb 'what is that?' Alex felt a huge gust of wind against his back he turned around to look but he slipped on a banana peel 'hmpf' "owww…'' he looked to see what that huge wind was it was a flying car with blue engines on the car hood in the back of the car a thruster like object clothed in blue it was a small shape but large enough to carry the car, the car landed 4 wheels from the sides appeared then it became a normal looking car.

A guard in a sliver-like uniform came over to him,his face was blocked off with the helmet The guard said in a calming voice "are you ok …are you hurt"

"I'm fine I just slipped on a banana peel " Alex said in a shaky voice, 'I think I broke something' Alex added the guards' hands glowed a faint blue-ish green color he reached to touch Alex what came after was a healing effect

" thank you, may the holy trinity bless your Ascension" Alex thanked the guard that had just helped him 'Why did I say that I don't even know what that is' Alex continue to walk he did not know where he was going but his mind did. he stopped at a tall half-broken down apartment ' is this where I live?' Alex walked into the lobby it was nosy there was a couple fighting with each other the woman looked old but her voice was loud the man on the other hand looked to be 30-40 years old

"I paid you now get off my back you old bi*#%!"

"Give me my 50 pounds now!" the two were loud the others that were in the lobby

didn't seem to even care Alex decided to just go to his room, he did not know where it was but his mind knew where it was to put it simply it was like he could see shards of his memories

'That woman must have been a hooker that he hired …' Alex opened the door to his room on the 4th floor it was 1 one-person room, Alex looked around the room it was dark and damp he went to the bathroom, he turned one the water to the bassoon he gently washed his face, after he finished he stared deeply into his face he had olive skin with a high cheekbone he felt something was off his head felt hot he pulled off the hair 'a wig?..then that ' he reached for his left eye he could see a memory fragment of his past self doing this.

his left eye turned out to be a different color from the right eye, the left was a crystal blue the right was an emerald green his original hair color was charcoal black with a sliver gray strike his hands were soft to the touch he looked at himself in the mirror a second time 'i'm not that well built' Alex got out of the bathroom he headed for one of the room's it was cleaned up pretty well the books were on a bookshelf ,there were two mirrors in the middle of the room, each facing one another "what are those for ?" Alex went to stand in between the two mirrors nothing felt off about it 'i guess i should put this somewhere else ' he placed the 2 mirrors in the corner.

he saw two books on an oak wood desk with a lantern, Alex twisted the knob but there were no fuel 'crap' alex, open the curtains to the window it wasn't that helpful the outside was covered in a deep fog

As soon as he sat down to look through the contents of the book he started to hear a faint voice coming from the book that he had found on the desk He opened the book the voices got even louder they were saying "Orion ….Ares….Chloris " the voices repeated that saying over and over Alex was on the floor he covered his ears his body felt as it was being dragged down he then heard a weird sound it sounded like a giant whale , a feeling of being watched by thousands came over him.

"Rigel….Alnitak …..Saiph….Aquila" ' it hurts, its hurts' the voice pierced his mind, body, and soul he felt as though he was gonna break apart until he saw the image of a man in a coffin the figure had long white hair, lips red as crimson, and ghost like hands "What do you want from me?! ….is this body?!.... I'll give it back …please stop..!"Alex shouted, his lungs felt as though they were being boiled the figure in the coffin opened its eyes there were devoid of life, then the noise stopped Pant, Pant a stream of tears flowed down Alex's face "what have i gotten involved with?!... I need to leave"

Alex got off the floor, he headed for the door then a thought came through he's head 'How am I going to leave this body and go back….back to what exactly?' he left the apartment, the two that were in the lobby stopped fighting, Alex walked out to the sidewalk there he saw a body it was the old lady she was covered in blood and her stomach was ripped open it was like he was seeing a person tat was hollowed out "HUUUURGGEHH" Alex wiped of his mouth but it wouldn't stop The aftertaste of bile covered his tongue. No one wanted to come over to help him the people just stared at him.

Sniff sniff he started to cry it did not stop, out of nowhere it started to rain hes nose was stuffy but he knew that he had somewhere to go.

...

He got a new change of clothes

Alex was at Doveland street there were people on the corner of the sidewalk on their knees crying and some were praying to a statue a group of people watched them as if they were there to entertain them, Alex walked over to one of the men that were watching them

"Who are they praying to?"

The old man looked at Alex and then smiled "they are praying to their god….Daoloth .. I guess the school has not thought you about that yet… wait do you go to school?"

Alex answered honestly" yes I go to school, but the professor has yet to teach me about it"

"Hehe.. I won't spoil the fun for you then " the old man covered his face with his black top hat then walked off

Alex looked at the people in concern but he knew that he couldn't do anything,he did not stay long he too walked off ,he reached a fancy restaurant the billboard said" The great chief vale " Alex walked in one of the workers walked over to him in a rush then said "where the hell were you, your late "

'So I work here it looks good ..wait then why am I living in a place like that

"I'm sorry …someone died at the motel I stayed at and the guards came over to question us"

'It's a good thing I remembered all those guards only stayed for 4 minutes '

"Whatever get to work!" the worker yelled in his face Alex went over to the worker's locker room he saw a change of clothes with his name marked on the locker he opened it to find a butler uniform to wear he made sure to fix his hair back , now he was wearing a different color wig (jame purple ) and he placed a contact lens on his left eye now both of his eyes were emerald green he dressed himself in the butler uniform then went to an empty table to clean it he did this for 2 hours the restaurant was very big

'I wonder how much is being paid ' the shift lasted for 5 hours he went out to the back to take out some trash the garbage bin was a small one, the bag was full it didn't seem like it could fit Alex shrugged then he placed the garbage in the bin the garbage disappeared 'whoa' he starred at it for a good minute then went back inside to clean

...

The store was closing and Alex had finished sweeping the floor

"Paychecks!" a guy dressed in a yellow suit called out Alex walked over to the man handed him a check the money it had on it was 10 pounds and 2 pence one silver coin this could buy a full-course meal at a cheap restaurant, while working Alex found the value of the money he had a pound could buy a single meal a pence could buy a drink and a sliver coin was used as a tip

the money in his piggy bank is about 30 pounds 12 pence and 8 silver coins, he made this much money because he worked at this place for 6 months, he found the piggy bank while searching for a change of clothes because he was still in his school uniform

"You all did a good job you earned it," the man said happily 'something's off..' Alex looked over to a young boy that looked to be the same age and wore a fake simile as he said "thank you all for your hard work" as he said this he looked at the man in yellow 'what is he planning to do?'

…..

Half the workers had already left it was 12:30 am the young boy had left in a rush but he dropped a key Alex chased after the kid to give it back to him he wanted to find out more about that boy, he managed to catch up to the boy he was about to yell at him but he didn't, Alex felt a huge amount of pursue land on his shoulder, he felt a pulling force form the alley a Figure with a well built frame came out of the shadows the figure had on a mask covered in weird symbols

"What are you doing hear alexander!" Alex heard a loud voice it was the boy whose hands were glowing a faint blue and white the colors mixed and swelled together

'Boom'

A wet feeling came onto Alex the ally became slippery the pulling force that he had felt earlier was gone he felt free but not safe

"No worries i got you "

"Leo you scum !" multiple water droplets fell from the sky into one point it formed into a sword made of pure water leo grabbed at it then in a second he slashed at the figure in the mask it was fast enough to dodge,the figure placed its hand on the floor purple spikes came from it they went for Leo but he countered it by creating a shield of water in front of him the spikes hit the shield then he wiped his hand as if he was to throw a ball, he wiped it to the figure the figure disappear from the spot

"Crap it escaped ….. Are you ok?" Leo asked Alex could see some of his feathers he was well built not at as well as an adult, he had long jet black hair with some blonde mixed in his eyes glowed an ember brown, they were mixed with some blue

"Yeah I'm fine ..somehow, here you dropped this at the restaurant "Alex gave him a gold key "Thanks the key means a lot to me" Leo gave a warm smile 'lair if you cared a lot for the key then you wouldn't have dropped it ,i'm not so easy to fool try harder' Alex added inwardly

Leos voice turned cold as he said "Sorry but i'm gonna have to bring you with me you've seen to much"

"Huh?"

'Am i gonna be killed …why did help this bastard come on think…wait did he drop the key as a trap ? it could be so he must have had a way to track the key ....so he was hoping for a second figure to get the key ,could the second figure be the man in that ugly yellow suit the way that Leo looked at him was weird so those two where working together …wait does he think i'm the second figure that was working with that thing? '

Leo created a water portal he went through with Alex in a water ball

....

Alex woke up in an integrator room his hands were chained up and hes vision was very blurry the door opened up a woman came in holding a folder with a large number of files

"Alexander Griffith

Age;16

Birthday; January 3, 1986, the orris year

Hair color;black

Family; none

Eye color;blue

Is this correct?" the young lady asked, her hair was in her face she moved a hair strand to her ear

'Huh orris what's that …..wait my hair color is black and it has silver Streak, and my eyes are two different colors ...guess like this body created different identities but why?…'

"Yes, that is correct expect the hair i changed it to what you see now."

'I don't know if they've checked to see if I'm wearing a wig it's a good thing, I spent 10 minutes trying to make the wig look real. '

"What were you doing at 12:30" she asked.

"I was at work my boss gave me a paycheck then 5 minutes later a worker of mine dropped a golden key i followed him to give back the key but i ended up getting caught up in this?..anyways that's what happened."

The woman nodded then left the room Alex head was daisy it was like someone had sucker punched him.

...…

The woman came back a few minutes later

"You have 2 options. "

'Huh what does she mean? ….. Does she mean that i have 2 options in my life 1 is to become a spy for that figure thing and the other is to be killed?! ...that is a possibility but could be wrong'

"Option 1 :we wipe your memory about any of this happening and we give you five hundred pounds then send you off to a place of your choice

Option 2:you join us we will train you well also you would have a better pay and a better education then hope academy you go to also we will help you awaken your core "

'The first option seems to be the best one i can leave that crazy apartment but i also want to find a way to leave this place the second option seems better but i would get tied up with those things …'

"Umm.. they both seem like big choices for me to make and i don't want to mess up so can i come back to you in 24 no 14 hours i will make my decision by then"

"I will allow that to happen ..nighty night "she said her voice was soft and gently as if she was talking to a baby but he could not see her face

...

Alex woke up in a dark place he recognized it to be his room the desk where the books were on last time where still left open but there were no ravings Alex got up to the book he look at the words he couldn't understand them but in a flash he could cleary read them it was a summoning rutrial

'What would i wanna summon ....did those voices had something to do with the rutral, also how did they not notice my 2 different color eyes?

Alex decide to do the rutrial because he needed power to protect himself even though he might get it from joining them, there's a chance they might fail at making him stronger so this was just hes plan B, He placed the mirrors as he saw them when he got in then he said the summoning connotation

"THE GREAT LORD ADONIS

THE GREAT GOD OF LIGHT AND RADIANCE BALDUR

I SUMMON A KING WORTHY TO BE A SERVANT " Alex repeated these words the book said that he should repeat them until he hears an answer

"THE GIANT KING THAT RULES IN BLACK

THE DRAGON THAT EATS STARS

THE LIGHT THAT SEEKS FREEDOM

THE GREAT ONE ANSWERS YOU" the Phrase that was siad is a normal response to the summoning an illusory star spared in the mirror Alex pulled at it but nothing came

"This should have been correct i did get the response i even set up the ritual correctly what am i dining wrong"

The star turned black the mirror creaked , a hand with ghost like feathers pulled at Alex hes was sent into the spirit the world, the color around him shifted and break he was at a tomb of someone's grave but there were no name he looked around in shock he looked around until he saw a change he saw a coffin in the distance he walked over to check if this was the cause of him being here now

It was the figure that he had seen when he was in his room he reached his hand over the coffin there were dust, a symbol appeared on the coffin it was shaped like a snake in a halo with knives and swords around that halo then there were hand marks on that symbol , the symbol appeared on Alex's arm

"YOU SHALL BE MY BLESSED

YOU ARE THO GUARDIAN OF THE EMPIRE OF BLACK

I GAVE THY NAME EOS THE BLACK EMPERIORE

FORM A CONTRACT WITH ME AND YOU SHALL GAIN POWER AND WISDOM "

'It wants to sign a contract with me? …. This is a chance to gain power also it could just kill me and take over my body hmmm that seems unlikely if it wanted my body it could have done that already '

"I will sign the contract but i want to know what its about"

A yellowish goatskin paper appeared In Front of him it had the symbol that was on his arm it said two things.

'1 you shall gain power and wisdom , our contract will be of equals

2 if i ask you for something you will have to do it this will come in time'

'The contract is very fishy …..'

"I accept the conditions but can i add one '

'I want the ability to sense danger wherever i go this ability should be able to sense the levels of danger i will be in for your missions''

'With that i will be able to see the danger levels of people and the objects around me'

The yellowish goat skin burned in purple flames it didn't hurt Alex it just gave him a tattoo

'Will people be able to see this' as he said that it disappeared and the world around him went back to normal he was in His room again

"Did it disagree?" the room was filled with purple particles an armor colored in black appeared it reached for Alex with its left hand but it bursted into more purple particles it swirled into a small tornado the tornado went through alex , he felt as though a connection has been made he then saw the coffin again the figure in the coffin woke up but its eyes were no longer pitch black it was faint purple

"The contract has been made you now have a small portion of my powers " the figure said.

"You should be able to use them once your core is awakened to its true self the only ability you have is the spirit vision you can see the dangers of a person's spirit also you have the ability to do divination, but this is a low-level ability this should be useful to you can find many different ways for this to be useful to you. "

'Now I'm able to tell the levels of danger that's in my way. i wonder how i activate this ability?'

Alex looked outside the window he saw cars drive by they were wet. 'Rain...how long was i talking to 'Him' time must pass differently there.' Alex chuckled at himself. he then asked "it's dangerous to jump out into the street. " He then saw a large red light in front of him. Alex looked at it in Surprise. " So, this is how the divination ability works it can tell me the answers to the questions i ask such as the danger levels ... I wonder how sprit vision would work.
