----------------------------------------------------

A rainbow-colored void ripped open a hole in the middle of the darkness of space, Illuminating the area around it in a plethora of colors. After a few seconds a small golden sphere began to emerge from within the rainbow void. Following behind it, connected by a thin gold stream of energy was a tiny light green sphere.

As it came out of the void, the space around it twisted and distorted as if someone was trying to poke a hole in a piece of plastic. As the space around the sphere distorts more, the rainbow void begins to tremble and shrink. Just before the void is closed the distortion in space snaps back into place, almost with an audible pop as the area is swallowed up in darkness again.

The small sphere floats dormant for a while, as the tiny green sphere bounces back and forth on the tether of gold energy. Then the golden sphere brightens up with a soft golden glow, vibrating slightly while the glow begins to pulsate out for a time. The next instant it is gone and only the afterglow of its flight can be seen. While the tiny green sphere can no longer be seen at all in the trail of golden light.

----------------------------------------------------

A low beeping is heard ringing through a darkened room, the sole occupant of the room looks over at a jade crystal that is blinking in time with the sound, off to their side. It lifts off its wood pedestal and floats in front of the room's occupant, as the crystal begins to project a holographic display the room and occupant are finally revealed. The stern face of a woman can be seen, her eyes are sharp and flicker slightly in the soft glow of the light. The room itself is slightly bare with minimal decorations or furnishings. Besides a small humble mattress underneath the woman, a small table to the side with a few jade crystals arranged on the top of it and a sword resting next to the woman's side, the room is bare of any other luxury one might normally need.

The woman continues to watch the screen for a few moments, then another screen appears off to the side and a message begins to type quickly across the screen. Followed by a short video clip of what the woman was watching.

(01:21:12)One Sword Above All: There has been a breach near the edge of my domain, the intruder looks like a system carrying a soul. Its trail is leading to your domain, @TheBeastKing.

(01:21:19)Monarch Of Space: Oh that is definitely a system, I wonder what it will be this time? The last 100 or so are still unknown at this time, correct @Only Good Vibes?

(01:21:20)Only Good Vibes: So far that is correct, but those 108 have yet to leave their starting world. The oldest of them is only 483 years old. It will still be some time before they are strong enough to even leave their worlds and travel around the stars of their home realm.

(01:21:24)Fate Can Not Hide: So this will make 109 in the past 500 years? I will make a reading and let you know what I find.

(01:21:25)TheBeastKing: It has passed my domain and is heading toward the outer part of @One With A Hammer. It doesn't seem to be slowing down either. It faded out of my senses after it passed my domain's edge.

(01:21:32)One With A Hammer: It has passed my domain and it is in the outer realms. Looks like it went deep into them, I could not follow it till it’s end point. @TheBeastKing It did the same for me past the edge of my domain.

(01:21:36)One Sword Above All: @One With A Hammer Same for me, that is expected though. Unexpectedly, it went into the outer realms though. Only a handful have gone out that far before.

----------------------------------------------------

The golden sphere ripped through the void of space past comets, solar systems and lone stars, till it reached a massive world. It was 5 times bigger than the next largest planet in the system, only surpassed in size by the huge sun in the center of the solar system. Two moons orbit this planet in a slow rotation, the closer of the two moons looks tiny compared to the second moon. Even though it is half a distance closer than the other.

The sphere zips down into the atmosphere and flies to the dark side of the planet, it passes by floating cities, enormous mountain ranges, expansive oceans and vast barren lands, with sandstorms that blot out the sky.

Before long it comes to a valley, the valley floor is covered mostly in fields with small homes. It passes over the middle of the valley, a small town with a handful of buildings rests there. It stops at the outskirts and enters a small rundown hut.

The inside of the building is covered in a golden glow as it comes to rest above the body of a teenage boy, his body is thin and malnourished, skin pale like chalk and drenched in sweat, covered in a thin blanket that clings to his body, soaked from his perspiration. His body is rigid, but slightly rocking back and forth. His lips moving vaguely, while mumbling softly in his sleep. His eyes rapidly flicker around under his closed eyelids. After a while the boy begins to still as his breathing becomes harder and more ragged. A loud retching cough escapes his mouth, his body contorting with agony, while blood coats his lips. After another body retching cough, the boy's chest stops rising. The last bit of air leaves his lungs as his body goes limp.

The gold sphere shoots out a beam of gold light and begins to scan the boy. After a few minutes it stops the scan and a blue light begins to shine from the orb. As it passes over the boy, his body begins to morph. His skin begins to turn a healthy color, his body begins to fill out and grow. The sweat, dirt, blood and other grime from his body are removed. Once the blue light is done, a green light and a gold beam begin to shine from the golden sphere. The green light envelopes the body of the boy, the small green sphere behind the golden sphere starts to shrink down and after a minute it and the green light are gone.The boy's chest begins to rise and fall at a steady rhythm.

The golden beam is aimed at the boy's head and as the beam becomes brighter, the sphere darkens while contracting. The sphere winks out of existence and the beam of light finishes entering the boy's head. The room is cast into darkness again, only filled with the sound of a healthy person's breathing while they sleep deeply.

----------------------------------------------------

(03:01:02)Fate Can Not Hide: I have seen what might come to pass. After nine readings, I now know one thing that will happen. Whoever it is will be a chef without equal. Possibly from their system helper or by their own skill. Everything else is not solid enough for a proper reading.

(03:01:08)Only Good Vibes: So they will follow the Dao of cooking? No one has mastered that Dao to the limit yet, this could be great if they truly master it.

(03:01:19)TheBeastKing: Yes, a master of the Dao of cooking would be nice to meet. Then we won’t have to sit through another @One Sword Above All dark cuisine special when she invites us over. I had the runs for a week the last time.

(03:01:11)One Sword Above All:...

(03:01:13)Fate Can Not Hide: I pay respect to @TheBeastKing for 3 seconds.

(03:01:13)Monarch Of Space: I pay respect to @TheBeastKing for 3 seconds.

(03:01:14)Only Good Vibes: I pay respect to @TheBeastKing for 3 seconds.

(03:01:14)One With A Hammer: I pay respect to @TheBeastKing for 3 seconds.

(03:01:15)Thunder Emperor: I pay respect to @TheBeastKing for 3 seconds.

(03:01:15)Dao Seeker: I pay respect to @TheBeastKing for 3 seconds.

(03:01:16)Lonely Heart: I pay respect to @TheBeastKing for 3 seconds.

(03:01:16)Illusion Maker: I pay respect to @TheBeastKing for 3 seconds.

(03:01:20)One Sword Above All: @TheBeastKing I am heading over, seems like you need a lesson in manners again.

(03:01:20)System Message: TheBeastKing is currently offline and will not receive your message till they log back in.

(03:01:23)One Sword Above All: @Fate Can Not Hide can you divine where he went? I will give you a bottle of 1 million year old frost wine.

(03:01:25)Fate Can Not Hide: I will do it for free if you send a live stream of you teaching him manners.

(03:01:26)Only Good Vibes: Seconded

(03:01:27)Monarch Of Space: Third

(03:01:29)One Sword Above All: Consider it done.
