Lord Shadow

1598 Sacrifices

What Azief said is not wrong.

But….it is different for them. Sinc ethe beginning, there was no happy ending for them. Or maybe there is and they missed the chance.

Whatever the case, the moment the war was fought between the Destroyer and the Etherna race, Borgan could already see the trend of the future

And the trend of the future she saw is a trend of future where there is no future where her race could not win

Because their enemy is not the Creator. Or the Destroyer. It is that one in the garden. That one with the typewriter.

The one who sometimes tends the garden and sow seeds.

Borgan then waves her hand again and the scene moves back

"because we did not die" Borgan is speaking to Phaitos

Borgan look at herself in the past saying these things and she could see something else. That in the future, the Creator would say the same words as her when the Creator is teaching Azur Uhur.

It is suspected that the Creator would also come to this particular nexus of time space and learn something from it.

"Azur Uhur is not yet present in this timeline. But I've already seen him"

She mutters to herself but Azief heard what she said.

And he frowns.

It is not possible that Borgan did not know that he is listening. The fact that he heard it and she said it, means she wanted him to hear it. For what reason, he doesn't know.

But he knows best not to underestimate the depth of this Etherna scheming. The fact that she is here, in this memory, guiding him, might have mean she has been planning this since the death of her race

And imagine that era. It was a primordial era. It would not just be a trillion years but decillion years

If she could calculate this moment, during those times, one could only imagine the layout of this plan

On the forge, Phaitos heard Borgan words and frowns.

"Because we did not die?"

'Yes, because we did not die, we could not understand the beauty of life nor do we need to rush or change since change is different and different to us is bad. Trillions of years passed but we were as primitive as we are in the beginning since there is nothing to drive us as a race to do something"

Smiling bitterly, she then said

"So, the Supreme One created the concept of destruction and that is how the Destroyer was born. With Destruction comes the concept of Time of blooming and wilting, of living and dying.'

Borgna did not go into detail what happens after that. The subsequent event was full of chaos but also something that is suitable for them

Their race become prosperous and so they desire to more and desire to meet other races in the Universe

They believe that they should not be alone in the Universe. And so, they travel toward the stars and planet and they travels thousands of light years away, tens of thousands of light years away and even millions , billions, trillions and all they could see was a great nothingness.

A great emptiness in the Universe. Like a dark lifeless space filled with only floating rocks and dead planets

'And then The Supreme One created more" Borgan of the past seems to be looking at something.

Azief could see it from the side that her eyes seems to become cloudy just like when Erika is seeing through the Veil

"What did you see?' Azief ask the Borgan beside him. Borgan smiles and chuckles

"The most beautiful moment in Creation"

Azief waited for Borgan to elaborate and Borgan did not disappoint.

"There was a bright light. I could not see the face of the Being who create this light, but this light is unlike the light that you see or I see. It is a manifestation of a will in the form of light. And in this light, there is the power of ultimate creation"

She smiles a little when she remembers that light

"In just a fraction of a moment, tens of trillions of galaxies were formed the universe expands almost infinitely, and in that moment, life began to bloom like a flower in the spring. Some universe started with an explosion. Some started out of nothing. Some appears slowly. Some of this universe started from a string. All kinds of worlds, all kinds of universe all kinds of life. "

" if only you could see it. To see something so dark and lifeless to bloom like beautiful flower all at the same time"

Borgan paused the scene once again. And then she said

"You need to understand the history of the Etherna for you to understand certain things later. Life begins in that moment, life that is not Etherna. And while some yearned to see other races, we also wanted to conquer them"

Azief did not say anything but Borgan could see the disgust on his face.

After all, Azief could tell that the so-called life that Borgan had said, had just appears. It is like a new born baby.

But you an adult wanted to crush kids? How could Azief not look down at such a behaviour. Borgan could only sigh at this.

"It was not always like this. But…it is nature. The Etherna is a perfect creation. And as such, when they see all of this life, imperfect, it is only natural, that they think they should rule over such race. And thus begins Etherna Conquest"

She said with a sigh.

And she closes her eyes.

Borgan could not help but think to the pas and each time she thinks back to the past, she could not help but feel that the Supreme One has given a lot of chance for the Etherna to backtrack from what they have done.

If they took it, then the subsequent tragedy might not happen.

"I was the one that divines the moment where the Supreme One would go to slumber. And when He did, our King began fighting and conquering all over the Universe"

Borgan look at Azief and she smiles bitterly

"I think you have met him didn't you?"

"Met who?"

The Creator. Meeting something sacred like that…..leave a mark"

But Borgan did not elaborate on that and instead she said

"When the Supreme One went to slumber, the cosmic energy of all creation was imparted to the Creator while the cosmic energy of all destruction was bestowed on the Destroyer. These two beings is His Emissary, His Envoy. In His slumber these two are the rulers of all Universes"

Hearing this Azief frowned. But he was not shocked. Because he had figures it out. It is one of the things he had expected.

Because Azief had read many books and knowledge stored in Orvanian librarian when he was in the Seresian world

And then there is also the stories that Will told him, and he actually expected it to be like this.

But just because he is not shocked doesn't mean that he is unaffected.

Thinking about it again, he was lucky that the Creator did not do anything to him the last time they met each other.

And thinking about it isn't the Creator is also part of the Supreme One?

Borgan sighed and then said

"as you could guess they both have their own work. One is to govern life and all of its aspect, creation primarily, and then the other one is to govern death and destruction. One is the spring and the other is winter. One side is life, another is death. One side is fortune, the other side is doom"

"You should know all of this. So, you would not be deceived later on" she said as the scene in front of their eyes moves again.

"I have told my uncle. I have told the King not to do what they did. That when you have to choose between mercy and merciless, choose mercy when you could. I have warned all of you. And none of you listens. Only Phaitos. Only sweet Phaitos"

She said as she look at Phaitos. Phaitos could only sigh.

"The ambition of kings and Queens"

"And now, the one who sings have to pay. The one who could talk and speak beautiful words, that revitalizes life and bring about worlds, have to pay"

With every word, he said there is a kind of sadness that fill his eyes and this sadness seems to spread out from him and covers the entire room

"The one who summons life, summons death, summons all living beings, and all non-living beings have to pay. A recluse who controls the elements of the Universe have to pay. And that mad man who scribbles formation on stars, on suns and moons, he have to pay. The old man who seals the darkness of the world, the kindness of the world, he also has to pay. That Dark Witch also has to pay."

And Phaitos sighed

"Too many lives have to be sacrificed" He wanted to understand why ten people have to be sacrificed.

Azief was confused at this time. Why does Phaitos is talking like this. Borgan smiles bitterly. Azief guess this must have something to do with the information in the crystal.

Asargan sighed and said

"Many have already been sacrificed."

"What is ten more?' Borgan mutters.

Borgan said these words and she sighs.

Her sigh seems to fill the Forge of Worlds. Asargan close his eyes and shook his head and Vorgan also
