CHRONICLES OF AETHERIA - CHAPTER 75 [FINALE]
In a World filled with light, a World which has no source of light or star but was covered in light.
A World which exist just one tower. This Tower was floating in the middle of this World with no guard guiding it.
The World known as the 3rd Heaven and the Tower is known as the Immortal Tower.
The Tower is the abode of the Immortals that lived in the 3rd Heaven.
A being is seen approaching the Tower with a great amount of speed as the being was seen traveling through clouds. He was dressed in a white robe as his skin was as white as Snow – a Testament of his divinity.
The being is a divine being, a being whose transcend all mortals. He’s one of the immortals in the 3rd Heaven.
The Being gazed at the Tower when a smile formed on his face. “So I’ll finally get to see this tower once again.”
He said aloud with his hands behind his back. The being had white beards like a goatee. His hair was white and was flowing freely to the direction of the wind. His gaze was still on the Tower when he felt a presence behind him.
A smirk curled on the Being’s face. Without turning, he already knew the person behind him. It’s a presence he was familiar with. A divine presence.
“I was never expecting to see you soon Alarion.”
The smirk deepen when he heard the familiar voice. He need not to turn as the being float beside him also standing on a white cloud.
“I wasn’t expecting to be awake soon.”
The being now known as Alarion replied as he caused the cloud to change direction as he was now facing the Being he was familiar with.
The being was also putting on White robe as divine essences emitted out of his body. His skin has green scales and his eyeballs were green. His black jet hair were also flowing in the direction of the wind.
“You’re far more different from when I last saw you Goblin Immortal Kraglin.”
“I’ve been living my best life for the past decade. I don’t want to leave a bad impression for my best friend.” Immortal Kraglin replied when the both of them burst laughing.
“And you really did Kraglin. I was actually thinking you’re going to attack me.”
“Our race is now at peace Elf Immortal Alarion. Since you were asleep, our race has been in dispute but I manage to get it under control. It’s so sickening that we Immortal can’t interfere into the matters of those mortals.” Immortal Kragnir replied when he sighed.
“It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have confront the Elf Demon Lord alone. Though I was able to annihilate him. He caused me to sleep but thanks to my Guardian. I’m back and now our race in Aetheria is at peace.” Immortal Alarion added when he placed his hand on Immortal Kragnir’s shoulder.
“It wasn’t your Guardian that awakened the Ellcrys.” Immortal Kragnir stated shocking Immortal Alarion.
“What did you say?” Immortal Alarion asked with shock on his face.
“Take a look.” Immortal Kragnir answered when he weaved a hand sign. “It was a Human who bypassed the law of Aetheria. A human whose consciousness exist in two worlds. A human who was bestowed the name Kael by the Guardian of Soul.”
“A human who the old prophecy lingered on.” Immortal Alarion completed.
“This boy did not only saves our race but also saves the whole of Aetheria. If Arctic should get awakened on Aetheria, he will create a passage for the Demon Lords in Nexus and there’s going to be a war.” Immortal Kragnir explained when Immortal Alarion nodded.
“May peace be with him.”

In a World filled with darkness, a World which has no source of light or star and was covered in darkness.
A World which exist just one castle. This castle was floating in the middle of this World with no guard guiding it.
The World known as the Nexus and the castle is known as the Demon castle.
The castle is the abode of the Demon Lords that lived in the Nexus.
A being is seen in the castle staring at the emptiness. But this being was not alone. His subordinates was kneeling behind him. He was backing them with his gaze outside the castle. His body was covered with black robe which was occasionally swept by the wind.
He was still staring at the emptiness when a Demon made his way into the scene and kneel closely behind him.
“My Lord.. It has failed.”
“I knew.. The awakening has failed.” The Being replied still staring outside the castle. “But how?”
“According to my findings. Morith was wiped out of existence along with his race of Forbidden Elves. He was defeated by a single being.”The Demon replied.
“A single being. Is he a Divine Servant or a Demon general? Is he an Elf or a Dragon?” The Being asked still curious about the whole matter.
“My Lord.. He’s the Son of Adam. A human from the new world which was created by the Almighty. He’s a mortal from Earth.” The Demon replied when a smirk curled on the Being’s lips.
“The Son of Adam. The Harbinger of Chaos.. The one who will bring down the old world of Aetheria. Kael.. The Son of Adam.” The Being said when a smile formed on his face.
The mention of his name caused a jolt among his subordinate that was kneeling behind him. He slowly turned to them. The red orb on his eyes twirling around..
He’s a Demon Lord… A Demon Lord whose awakening is a mystery to others. Demon Lord Clayman…
“I want to keep a close eyes on him. So I’ll be choosing you for that.” Demon Lord Clayman stated when he pointed at one of his subordinate who rose up almost immediately. The subordinate was a female whose features was hidden in the dark. Her face was hardly seen but a smirk was on her lips..
“But my Lord.. He’s dead.” Replied the Demon causing Demon Lord Clayman eyes to twitch.
“Dead you say..” He chuckled as he took a step causing everywhere to shook vigorously. “Either Dead or Alive… I want you to be my eye Althea.”
The woman subordinate unveil the veil covering her face when she smile brightly. “It’s done My Lord.” She bowed a little and then turned and started leaving.
“I’ve always knew you’re mine..”

In a World filled with light, a World which has no source of light or star but was covered in light.
A World which exist just one temple . This Tower was floating in the middle of this World with no guard guiding it.
The World known as Matrix and the Temple is known as the Ancient Temple.
The Temple is the abode of the Guardian that lived in the Matrix.
Kael was seen kneeling before this temple as he tried to get up but to no avail as something seems to be pressing him down. It’s an aura pressing him down. An overwhelming aura pressing his soul.
The overwhelming aura was from Etherion who approached Kael slowly in form of a large Dragon which was ten times bigger than Kael.
“I’ve been expecting you Son of Adam.”
“I thought you said humans can’t live in Aetheria but they’re lot of humans amidst the Dwargon, the Academy and the West.” Kael snapped at the Dragon.
“You misunderstood. There is a lot hidden to you.. The foundation of this World. You’re still a novice but unfortunately you won’t be able to discover it.”
“What do you mean by I won’t be able to discover it.”
“You exist in two Worlds Kael and now you’re dead in Aetheria but you’re still alive in your world and that’s how you got the opportunity to see me again.”
“Oh no.. I can’t be dead.. There’s still much to do.” Kael pleaded thinking about his life….his friends.. The school.. The empire and then Rose.
“I’m sorry that’s not in my power Kael. You rejected my offer the first time but you live more than my expectation. You saved not just the Elvarin Kingdom but the whole Realm of Aetheria. Your name will forever be in the History of Aetheria.”
“And to honor that. I’m going to give you another chance. A ticket to your world. That’s the only help I could offer.”
“Of course.. That’s not the only help you could offer.. You’re the Guardian of Souls.. You could do more than this.” Kael said in anger when he tried to get up but to no avail.
“How dare you speak to me that way Boy.. You’re just a soul I could crush with one move. Don’t get me piss off.” Etherion replied releasing heavy breathing that almost pushed Kael off but the latter hold on tight.
“I’m not taking your ticket.” Kael replied and for the first time, he looked at Etherion in the eyes. His black orb was showing the reflection of the Dragon who was releasing aura upon aura when Kael activated something nefarious.
He activated a ski|| he used only once… A ski|| which he regretted using. The Unlimited Chain imprisonment..
Etherion eyes widened as he unleashed Fire against Kael burning his soul as darkness consumed the whole Matrix.

“What did you see?” asked King Jade as he caressed his daughter hair.
“I saw him.. Kael.. Blood.. War.. Ruins.. Bodies.. Millions of bodies… The world crumbling.. Every nation falling..” Princess Rose replied in fear. The vision was blurry but Chief Brakor was able to pinpoint some fact in it.
“I believe all your visions but probably all this would have happened if he isn’t dead.” King Jade replied..
“But Father. I’m just scared.”
“You don’t have to be. Kael’s a good person when he was alive. Come let’s go pay him the last respect.” Chief Brakor said as the three approached the room Kael body was kept.
In the room stood Riley, Emperor Liam, Prime Minister Mitsuri, General Yuri as they all paid the last respect to Kael.
His body was placed on top of an altar with flower all around him. They can’t bury him there since he now belonged to the Stoneforge. His body belonged to the Stoneforge. King Jade and Chief Brakor paid him their last respect as they started leaving the room one after the other leaving just Princess Rose who was finding it hard to do so.
“You died because of me.” She started knowing fully well that she’s alone. “Still yet I still doubt your personality.”
“I can’t forgive myself Kael.. I believe you’re evil. I’ve always believed and I’m trying to see you in a different way because you’re the only one that has ever make me feel alive.” She said to him as she stared at his calm face.
The more she stared, the more she got attracted to his face that she couldn’t help but claim his lips. She kissed him passionately as if her life depended on it when suddenly another vision hit her and she quickly shifted back staring at him with shock.
Before her brain could process the meaning of the vision, his eyes snapped open as his upper body rose up at once. This time his eyes was shining golden and his hair golden as she stared at him in shock.
His memory was blank as he was just staring blank at the Princess with his mind relaxed when he heard a voice resonated deep inside him. A systematic voice that he’s Familiar with.
