Everywhere was filled with white mist. There were obscure flashes of shadowy figures that filtered through the mist, along with the brief lull of various sounds.
There were sounds of children crying, of metal blades clashing against each other, and of warriors shouting in their loud voices as they let out their battle cries accompanied by loud explosions that filled one with dread.
These sounds interfered with and meshed together, like a piece of horrendous background music that told epic tales of war and savagery.
Everything was dreamlike, and nothing could be perceived clearly. But above the din of hazy mist and blood-curdling sounds, there was one above all else that could be made out with total clarity.
It was the sound of insane laughter that sent chills down the spines of those who heard it.
Following it were indistinct mutterings, like the whispers of the devil. Anyone who heard it would be driven mad and be dulled of their senses and would leave themselves open to the silent arms of death.
The laughter came again, and this time its mutterings were clear for all to hear. Its words echoed across the entire space, saying words filled with wild arrogance.
"Hahaha, do you all see this? Do you see what you have been reduced to?"
"For many millennia, you have all been filled with arrogance and disdain towards my kind. You have all held your noses up at us as you killed and persecuted us. But who is the one laughing now? Who are the ones who are in their final struggle, are about to face destruction?"
"Now, with my master by my side, I shall put an end to the prosperity of your entire race. After this, I shall go to the others of your people, and I shall do to them the same that I did to you all."
"You were the most powerful of them all. With your destruction, the rest shall follow and I will be hailed as the one who ended an era, the one who severed the lives and futures of an entire race!!"
"I shall decorate my throne with your bones and fill my bath with your blood. Hahaha!!!"
The voice said all this and with every word that was uttered; it filled the space with its power and spread its evil intent to all.
Suddenly, out of the hazy mist came a dazzling divine light that filled the entire space with its warm glow, and from the center of this light came an old and wizened voice. It was a voice that was filled with the vicissitudes of life and the traces of time could be felt from it. From the light came a deep sigh.
"Sigh!"
"Dark Shade lord, why do you lead yourself down the path of no return?"
"Finally, you old thing has finally shown up," The Dark Shade lord said.
"When I have gotten rid of you, the destiny of the Aeth will come to an end and the Shades shall rule supreme in this realm."
The old man in the light was unflustered and continued, "Are you so sure that your plan will succeed in the end?"
The Dark Shade lord answered haughtily, "My master has given me the ability to destroy you and the people of your race. With my master by my side, even you are not my match."
"You are right. If your master were here personally, I would not have any chance against you. But unfortunately, your master still slumbers and you have only been granted a small fraction of your master's power and for me, it is enough to deal with you."
"Hahaha, old man, you are surely delusional. You still think that with my master asleep that I have no way of dealing with you?" The Dark Shade Lord said with great contempt.
"I have to admit, this plan that you have had for more than a thousand years is something that I could do nothing against if I were not prepared, but fortunately, I am."
The Dark Shade lord, after hearing this, found himself stunned.
He quickly asked, "You have been aware of our plans all this time? Then why have you done nothing to stop it?"
The old man answered, "With your master by your side, I could do nothing but lure you here so that I could seal you all here. With your master's power sealed here with you, he would have no way to get it back and would forever remain incomplete."
Saying so, the divine light grew so bright that it filled the entire space. Everything that it passed through would slow down to the point that it would be still and get stuck, like the time in the whole space had been completely frozen.
Nothing could resist this power.
Seeing this, the Dark Shade lord was furious and tried all he could to resist this power, but unfortunately for him, he was unable to.
Realizing that he was unable to break free from his predicament, the Dark Shade lord started raving madly as he shouted loudly.
"Old bastard, you would doom your entire race just to deal with me?"
The old man calmly replied, "This is just a temporary measure. With the power your master has granted you, you will not be able to remain sealed forever. But it is enough. By the time you come out of your seal, the preparations I have put in place will be ready."
"In order to deal with you and your master, I have put a lot of plans in motion and when everything is finished, the Aeth will rise up as one of the strongest races in the whole universe wielding a power no one has been able to grasp after all its time in existence."
At the end of the speech, the light that had covered everywhere started to recede.
The dark shade lord desperately struggled and shouted with all his might. "old bastard, you will not succeed. My master will not let you off!"
As the light faded away, it carried with it all the sounds of war and battle as well as the struggles of the Dark Shade lord.
As the cause of all this, the old man watched in contemplative silence as he was in deep thought.
At the point when the light was about to reach release its final glow, he said with deep sorrow in his voice.
"Unfortunately, this is all I can do for you all. The rest is up to you. My children." The old man whispered to himself and saying so, the light vanished and with it every trace of the people who had inhabited this place.

Endings Are Sad But We Must Always Look Out For New Beginnings
Hello everyone, it's your favorite author here. So this is where this book will be ending for now. The story is not over for Arran and his companions. There are many more adventures to share with everybody. But I decided to end this book here because I felt that it had reached a mature point and it was time to evolve the story to something more.

The End… For Now!
The battle which would later come to be known as the Apocalyptic Battle For Earth’s Survival ended in a dour note. This battle lasted for 4 hours and many lives were lost. Of these lives that went missing in the chaos of the battle, two were especially noteworthy for their relentless efforts to resist the vile invaders that threatened the planet Earth.They went by the names Arran Galen Von Stratenoff Nero and Faith (Poltergeist) Ohimai both of whom were presumed missing but still alive. Nobody knew where they went or what corner of the universe they currently found themselves. But wherever this was, they were both surely missed and everybody prayed for their safety and eventual return. … The Etherium… inside the royal council hall. A meeting of the highest importance was currently being held. In this meeting, every council member was present. Along with them, there were seven extra seats which were located at the highest point in the entire hall. Seated upon these esteemed chairs w
Final Chapter
Arran was sucked away into the void fissure which closed immediately after, but not before Poltergeist had managed to latch onto his thigh for whatever reason. Seeing Poltergeist clinging onto him, Arran was confused before suddenly developing the urge to retort vehemently. But he wouldn’t have that time for things were just starting to go very wrong. The space within the void fissure was just that… a literal void where nothing existed but the vast expanse of space. But the stability of this void was seriously compromised allowing for multiple fractures in space and time to open up in the surrounding void. Due to the force of the vacuum that pulled arran and Poltergeist into the void fissure, the two of them were barreling through this space uncontrollably without the ability to stabilize themselves. Arran was too weak at the moment after having all his strength drained from him while releasing the Earth’s World Will. As for Poltergeist, she was also weakened. This was because she
World Will
The awakening of the world's will of earth was not something Arran had ever expected much less that its awakening would have to do with him. It was then that Arran realized the cause of everything. In Arran’s hand, Soran lay there quietly, no longer trembling as before as if it had gone to slumber. But when Arran thought of how everything that just happened was all because of it, Arran was shocked beyond belief. Arran thought that he already understood what Soran was capable of yet only now did he know that he was yet to scratch the surface of all of Soran’s capabilities. Soran’s ability, Triumph, granted Arran the means to win. Before Arran thought it only made it so that he could meet his enemies power blow for blow regardless of the difference in the realm. But what if there was a situation where Arran was up against an opponent whose gap in the realm was impossible to cross logically? For instance, how would Soran ensure Arran’s victory if he was up against a god as a mere mort
Full Awakening… The Spark Of The Universe 3
Soran left Arran’s hand, trembling powerfully in the air and creating a buzz of vibrations that spread into the surroundings. Arran was shocked by this not expecting it at all. Just as Arran was about to reach out to Soran to grab him, he suddenly paused as a feeling overcame him. Something was calling out to arran. Even more surprised, Arran looked around swiftly but he couldn’t find anybody around him. Then he thought of something and turned back to look at Soran who continued to tremble in the air. Indeed, just as Arran thought, as he focused on Soran, that call rose in his heart once again. It was as if something was reaching out to him through Soran from a mysterious place. Arran didn’t know who this person was but he knew what they wanted… to be freed. Arran didn’t give it much thought at all — there wasn’t anything to think about. The situation right was already dire. In releasing this person, what was the worst that could happen? Inwardly, Arran tried speaking to the ent
Full Awakening… The Spark of the Universe’s Origin 2
With the eyes of the old face half open, everything took a drastic turn for the worse for Arran and his group. Everybody else had lost consciousness except for arran who retained only a bit of consciousness in this situation… and one other person. With the opening of the old man’s eyes, the defense line was broken not only on Arran’s front but also on that of the Earth. The barrier of distorted space-time surrounding Earth after its barrier shattered was also broken through. Apart from Eris and Charmy, it was this barrier that prevented the blood sea from approaching Earth. But now that it was broken nothing was stopping it anymore. The polluted blood sea was free to advance on Earth. But the Aeth and the others could also now approach the planet. Having lost consciousness, all of them were free falling into the earth at this moment. They were unable to control their descent and were hurtling toward Earth at an incredible speed. At this height, falling with such a speed was enou
Full Awakening… The Spark Of The Universe’s Origin
Kasack vanished from the battlefield, scooped away into the safety of the dark star planet causing Arran to miss his chance at finally ending this threat once and for all. Arran was frustrated not knowing when he might ever have another chance like this again. But he didn’t wallow in his frustration for long. In no time arran calmed down and analyzed the situation. While it was a pity that he couldn’t kill Kasack, arran realized the urgency of the situation. Whatever Kasack did before his disappearance, it was bad… very bad. Looking at the visage on the surface of the dark star planet, Arran’s mind was met with a deluge of corrupting thoughts that tried to erode his mind. Even his resistance granted by his reality gate against mental pollution was not able to stop this corruption forcing arran to turn away from the planet. Yet even then, a chilling and slimy feeling lingered in Arran’s mind as his consciousness was continually under attack. Only with the combination of the World E
Final Death Throes 2
In his madness, Kasack did something drastic. He completely unleashed the power of the old one sealed within the dark star planet. Lying within the core of the dark star planet was the old ones' power. This power was meant to be given to his chosen champion as a means to fight the Aeth civilization. It was the strongest legacy left behind by the old one which could not be inherited directly. This power was only meant to be used at the critical time of the conflict with the Aeth civilization. It was Kasack’s greatest trump card one that he was reluctant to ever use. Yet at this moment, In the face of death, Kasack unleashed this power knowing full well the repercussions of his action. Moan! Following Kasack’s mad ravings, a loud wailing moan echoed throughout the surroundings sounding like an old machine shutting down or large gears slowly going still. In the chaos of the battlefield, this sound was so conspicuous that it forced everyone to notice it. Gradually, the fighting stopp
Final Death Throes
Kasack was sent flying after being hit by Arran. His chest was sunken and bloodied from the barrage of staff thrusts delivered to him and a mouth full of blood burst from Kasack’s mouth. Kasack was severely damaged, his injuries extremely grevious. But the most severe blow done to Kasack was the blow to his mind and ego. Despite everything, despite all the preparations and plans he had made, Kasack still hadn’t succeeded in killing Arran, yet it was he who was left battered and on the brink of death once again. This thought, Kasack could not bear it. His previous shame which he had hidden beneath a well of anger and rage resurfaced once more, bursting onto the surface like an erupting volcano. Aaaahhhhhh! Kasack didn’t know who was screaming so desperately. In his daze, he heard a voice filled with fury and indignation. His mind was foggy from the impact of Arran’s blows and the bruise on his pride and ego. When the fog finally cleared a little, that is when Kasack realized that
