"Lord of Destiny?"

The young boy turned back, revealing his beautiful Silver hair and his eyes that had violet pupils. His right eye had white, while his left eye was pitch black, excluding his violet pupils.

He seemed like a 14-15 old boy.

He gazed at the beautiful lady in white that dress that stood in front of him. The lady had two semi-transparent wings behind her back and beautiful blonde hair that seemed to be full of purity.

"Janus, what are you doing here?" The Lord of Destiny asked Janus.

" Lord of Destiny, I should ask the same to you. Isn't this my Family's altar where my brother used to ponder his thoughts in his early days? Why are all of you here?" Janus asked in return.

"Janus, you still call that Traitor as your brother? After all that he did against all the Gods? That Traitor got the punishment he deserved, and he's no more. Forget that he even existed. That's the best thing you can do. His existence itself was a source of anguish for us and his death a source of salvation. We all decided that we wouldn't mention him to forget that he even existed, and yet you don't," the Lord of Destiny looked at Janus as she squinted her eyes.

"Sigh, Whatever. You might be strong, but you're still a kid. It's understandable that you're naive. I wouldn't fret on it. I'm leaving," The Lord of Destiny muttered as she sighed. She gave up on arguing and decided to leave.

"Janus, remember. Whatever we did was for the better. He had gone crazy. We only acted to save this world from him. You knew it yourself. Isn't this why..." The Lord of Destiny said as she started disappearing.

"... you attacked him as well."

Even though she disappeared, her words still echoed everywhere.

Janus clenched his fist in full force, feeling the pain from her words.

He looked into the distant horizon as he reminisced about that cruel moment when everything had happened—the moment when a god fell and the moment when... everything ended.

The Lord of Destiny appeared in her Palace and called out to one of her maids.

"You called, My Queen?" The maid asked the Lord of Destiny.

"Freida, You are to go to the mortal Realm where all our sons are for their trials. Your task is to meet the Son of Death God, Aluren. You must get the conversation stone from him that helps him connect to his father here. Tell her it's the Command of all 7 Lords overseeing the Trials," The Lord of Destiny commanded her maid.

"Oh, and tell the Son of Flame Lord that he is needed to go back to his assigned land. It's our command as well; otherwise, he would fail, and he would be called back," she continued.

"Yes, My Queen. Your wish is my command," the maid said as she bowed her head.

"I have a question, My Queen," the maid inquired.

"Does your question have something to do with how you will find them?" The Lord of Destiny asked back as an amused smile appeared on her face.

As soon as she smiled, it was as if the whole room was filled with blissful energy.

The maid nodded her head.

The Lord of Destiny raised her hand. A bright light started coming from everywhere and collected above her hand. It soon took the shape of a crystal.

The Lord of Destiny three that stone towards the maid who caught it.

"Take this stone. This has the location of Adrian and Aluren. Find them and carry out my commands."

"Yes, My Queen."

The Maid left the Palace.

She left the Realm of Gods as the messenger.

****

The messenger was sent from the Realm of Gods that arrived in the world where Ryder was staying.

Frieda found Lucifer and Adrian, who were inside the forest, still waiting for a response since Aluren had told Adrian that he sent a message to his father.

Without backing off, Adrian replied that he wasn't scared of anyone since Aluren was wrong by contacting as well. They both started waiting, hoping that the other person will be punished instead.

The Kings were also sent back, making Aluren and Adrian to be the only ones waiting there.

****

Aluren was sitting on a throne that was brought here by his men. Adrian, on the other hand, was sitting on top of the cab, enjoying the fresh breath of air.

Soon, a portal opened before them.

"Someone is here," Aluren muttered as he stood up from his throne.

Adrian also jumped down from the top of the cab and stood straight.

Soon, Freida stepped out of the portal.

"Who are you?" Both of the guys asked at the same time.

"I have been sent by the Seven God's that oversee this trial to declare their commands," Frieda declared as she floated above the air.

"Oh, a messenger. I should've expected it. Fathers won't come for such minor matters," Adrian muttered as he observed the messenger.

Ignoring Adrian's words, the messenger looked at Aluren.

"Aluren, by carrying an item that helps you contact the Realm of Gods, you have broken laws. However, after deep consideration, the Lord's have decided to forgive your mistake as it was your first mistake in this trial. They did say that no second mistake like this will be forgiven. For now, you are only allowed to give us the conversation stones back, so you're never able to contact again before the Trials are finished," Frieda declared the commands she was told to convey.

"Hahaha, I told that idiot that it was breaking laws. He's really an Idiot," Adrian started laughing as he saw the distorted expression on Aluren's face.

Frieda turned back to Adrian as she heard him laughing.

"Young Lord Adrian. By leaving your assigned territory and entering the territory of another young lord, you have broken the assigned laws as well. However, it's your first mistake again. Although you are forgiven, you are commanded to go back to your assigned land and never to return here again, or you will be called back. You are immediately required to leave. This is the command of all Lords as well as your father," Freida announced.

"If all I need to have you leave without creating trouble for me is give up on my conversation stone, then it's worth it. Leave now," Aluren said in a gritty tone as he gave the conversation stone to Freida.

"Sigh, if it's what the lords want, I'm leaving," Adrian muttered as he turned back.

"I will remember it, though," he let out as he observed Aluren before he left.

Frieda disappeared as well.

"Finally, we're back to normal," Aluren muttered as he gazed at the sky.

****

A person was sitting in his office on the top floor of the building he owned.

It was the headquarters of one of the biggest Conglomerates of Japan and of the world.

A portal appeared in front of the person who was looking at his laptop.

The young man raised his head and looked at the portal before him.

He watched a girl step out of the portal without feeling even the least bit of shock.

"Frieda? What are you doing here? Isn't this against the laws to have contact with people of the Realm of Gods?" The man asked with a curious look on his face. "If someone finds out, mother might be in trouble."

"It's fine, Young Prince Itsuki," the lady said as she bowed her head.

"I came here as a messenger to share commands of the lords to Young Lord Adrian and Young Lord Aluren," Freida replied.

"Oho, what was the verdict? I thought it would take a long time. How did they even know what was happening here so fast? Are they constantly looking down?" Itsuki muttered with a curious look on his face.

"It's because Young Lord Aluren had a conversation stone which he used to ask his Father to get involved. I guess he didn't wish for Young Lord Adrian to interfere in his trials," Freida answered.

"Oh, I didn't think he had it. People would think he's an Idiot to expose his Conversation Crystal that might get him punished, but he really took a calculated risk by sacrificing that in exchange for sending Adrian back. I was thinking that there would be a big commotion there. He acted cleverly by removing that possibility. Clever indeed," Itsuki chuckled as he praised the plan of Aluren.

" He was probably sure that he wouldn't be punished at first offense. No wonder he's called the most scheming of us," he muttered.

"Right. He did say that it was worth it. I didn't understand the meaning, but it's clear to me now. So that's what it was," Freida muttered as she realized the intricacies of what Aluren did.

"Leave that aside. Since you were coming here, I'm sure Mother told you to convey some of her message to me. What did she say?" he inquired.
