Lord Shadow

For some reason Azief body have some kind of accelerating properties to the plants near his area.

A tree grows behind him, producing beautiful petal flowers and colorful fruits on its branches. The birds like to perched themselves on the branches of that tree and peck on the fruit

As he lies there, he wonders what is happening on Earth.

He wonders about Sofia and what she is doing right now. He wonders about Katarina whether she had forgotten him or not.

He wonders about Loki and whether his plan work on delaying him or maybe he is still his mischievous self.

He also thinks about Will and hope that he did not entangle himself in any troubles.

He knew that Will was searching for the Temple of Asargan and from what Will told him, all of those Temples are scattered all around the Universe.

He thought about a lot of things, trying to distract himself from this feeling of emptiness that keep creeping into his heart every time the sun set and night descend.

But when one year has passed there is something that changed that made Azief a little happy.

It is the sealing formation.

When the one year from where he had fallen had ended, the diamond mark on his right palm dissipated into motes of light and the vein like patterns on his right palm retreated to the one of his right arm.

It was then that he discovers that he could now move the finger on his right hand. The discovery left him feeling elated.

He could touch things now and he finally could feel sensation.

Before while he knew he could see and he could hear, his senses were no existent. There were many times that he needed to remind himself that he is alive and he does exist.

When he did not feel any sensation at all, it was like he is part of this world. Like he was the soil, the grass, the wind and the snow.

And each time, he had to remind himself…that he is not the soil, the grass, the wind or the snow.

He is Azief. He is Death Monarch. He is from Earth.

Each time he felt like he is going to lose himself, he sleeps and when he wakes up he reminded himself of these fact.

Sensation came and he felt like he was alive again. With each touch it was like he was affirming his own existence

The trials this time doesn’t seems like any trial he had ever experience before. For some reason, he felt this trial is even more harder than any of the trials before.

It is trial of the mind

At least even when he felt pain, he knows he still exist. He knows that pain validate his effort

He didn’t need to do anything and he doesn’t have to. He felt that only Time would be able to unlock all of his sealing mark and all he could do is wait

The Sealing of Time. The locking location is his body and the key is time. With time passing, he would slowly unravel the mark and the seal.

He slightly tries to understand the seal put on him and as such he believes this is one of Sealing of Time.

He waited again underneath the growing tree and the soil around his body that is now full of grass.

Spring once again came. The flowers of spring have come yet he is unable to feel it. He scratches the ground beneath his fingernails.

The sun rises and set. The moon became his companion. Each day that came is like the burden of time.

It is different lying on a ground enjoying freedom and this kind of lying on the ground like he is experiencing. He felt nothing all over his body.

Only the fingers on his right palm could move. The trees that started from a tiny little sprout now grows to become a large tree that shelter him from the rain and the sunlight.

The flowers of that tree fall onto him and once again buried him under a bed of flowers.

The vines slowly unravel itself around Azief body, strengthening its grips as days and months passes.

Summer came and he was brought further down by the tree deep beneath the Earth, the vines pulling his lower body deep into the Earth.

The bed of flowers was swept away by the wind of summer as grass grows around his body.

Azief was reminded that on Earth in summer people would go to the beach

Since he is in Malaysia every day felt like summer and he always romanticize the four season

But he remembers the day he toured with Sofia. They saw all then great wonders in the world, resting on beautiful beaches looking at the sun.

When he felt tired he sleeps. When he questions his own identity he scratched his finger on the ground beneath his hand.

It dug deep and made him remember that he is still alive.

As time pass by Azief slowly felt like he is being buried under the Earth.

Because of his body he could not truly die with this kind of predicament. Even if he is buried under the Earth Core he could still survive the heat.

But no one likes being buried alive even when they could live under the ground

And there is a difference between living under the ground and being buried under the ground. He shuts off his fears by thinking of happy memories.

People might associate Azief the Death Monarch who always look like he is brooding rarely have happy moments but that is not true at all.

In fact, Azief had a lot of happy memories.

He had happy memories with Sofia. He had happy memories with Sina and Loki. And even with Will even through their most life endangering adventures.

But most of all, he had happy memories with Katarina.

And when winter came and the snows fall…he could not help but be reminded of Katarina. The most beautiful woman in the world.

He remembers how she loved spring. He remembers how she like seeing the flower blossom and he remembers his kiss with her.

After he met her, he did not lose any memories about her. Not a single one. And he hates to see her cry. Maybe that is why he did not dare meet her. Even though she is in seclusion, Azief could easily come and brought her out and talk to her.

But he did not. Instead he tours the world. And each time he saw snows falling down, he wonders…

Will it stop?

These snowfalls?

These tears?

He did not hate winter. He did not hate the cold. He just felt sorrow each time he saw snow falls from the sky.

Each memory made him remember who he is and why he is here.

Then fall came gain. Two years has passed. It was a lonely existence. It was a lonely experience. That is the only thing he thought to himself.

He did not talk to himself. He thought of many other things. He thought of those thirteen statues and the one he did not see on the twelfth steps.

He thoughts about their stories and he thought about how they reached there. And then when that didn’t work, he would sleep.

He wonders when he would be able to move

It has been two years

There were times that he was asleep. And there is time where he opens his eyes and scratched the soil beneath his fingers.

It is proof that he is still there

In this second year, there was an avalanche of rocks coming down for the top. It buried Azief and the area surrounding him.

It creates a cave inside a cave. The area where he is lying is now blocked from seeing the sky. There is a large stone on top of the opening of the cave.

If Azief could use his arm he could blow away that boulder with one palm smash. Because of the avalanche it created a compartment- like area.

The entrance of the cave is still large but Azief could no longer see it. Like he was in a secret room by himself.

But since it is the second year, the diamond mark on his left palm also disappears.

The vein like pattern that used to restrict him from feeling anything on his left palm retreated to his left arm.

Even though he could not channel energy through his fingers and palm, the prowess of his physical body still remains.
