《Guardians : Awakening of Athene》Chapter 8: Divine Gathering
Advertisement
Alice lays on her bed, sleeping with the rabbit embraced into her chest. The train suddenly stops as the conductor claimed there is a small power outage. Alice wakes up slowly as she yawns and bites on Lancelot's left ear.
"Ouch!" The shock made the rabbit scream and jumped. "Alice, what are you doing!" The enraged rabbit directs his small arms to Alice.
Alice blinks her eyes as she stretches her arms. "Eating raw rabbit." She ignored the frightened rabbit and walks out the entrance. With the train stopped, she might as well go for some fresh air. Being on the train for hours has made she bored and tired.
She steps out into the grass field. Apparently, they are almost there to the city. She found a tree and lays on its trunk.
The wind breezes through her hair as the shadows covered herself from the sunlight. Relaxing in the field, while the rabbit chews on his carrot.
"You should train your mana." Lancelot's tiny voice speaks out while chewing his food.
Alice's golden eye shines as her confident voice breeze with the wind. She gently smiles at the rabbit. "Give me a second." She closes her eyes and chanted - Athene -.
Blank white space, scattered mirror puzzle pieces revolving around Alice. She spreads and and directs the pieces as if she could have touched them.
"Search : Tag : Mana". Her voice commanded.
Mirror pieces faded away one after another, leaving hundreds of them left.
Alice sighs. "Filter: Increase Mana Capacity".
The mirror pieces faded away remaining three puzzle fragments in the air as they collect each other and drawn themselves to Alice.
"Blue, White and one with both Black and Yellow. Spells have their own elements and rank" Athena's majestic voice vibrates through the room. Same to magic ranks, spells have five stages as well. They are determined by the amount of power and potentials they contain.

Colours determine their element and mana type. While their ranks are determined by their tiers. Tier 1 being the most common and Tier 10 being the strongest.
"There are three spells in front of you. All of these abilities, some belongs to me and some I learned from others. Choose wisely, these will determine how you control this world." Athena's voice disappears while Alice stares into the puzzle pieces.
"At least tell me, what are these.." Runes appeared on the mirror, languages that Alice does not understand but the second later, the words morphed into English.
Aqua Consumption, Divine Gathering and Twilight Core.
– Wisdom Eye – Alice chanted.
Information assimilated into Alice's eyes, data created within her knowledge. She understood, the abilities in front of her as if we always knew them.
- Aqua Consumption – The ability to convert liquid into mana and consuming into your own.
- Divine Gathering – Gathers unowned mana within a radius and adapting it into your own.
- Twilight Core – Absorbing the Power of Light and Darkness and converting themselves into mana
Alice sat down and thought to herself. "Why don't I just learn all of them? "
"Divine Gathering sounds good for now, it is probably the best in my current situation either way."
Alice taps on the White puzzle piece. The fragment dissolves into white particles and embarks into her.
The rabbit still staring at Alice's breast. She grabbed his ears and threw him into the tree. "Pervert! You are a rabbit for god sake..." She sighs as she shooked her head.
She once closes her eyes again.
- Divine Gathering – She Chanted.
The clouds gathered and the skies turn red. The wind stormed as white mana revolving themselves around Alice. Invisible white mana flows into Alice until her body will not accept any more of that mana. The spell ended. The skies became clear blue again and the wind returned to its' regular course.

"I guess there is a limit to everything, my body can't contain all of them." Alice sighs as she holds her chin with her fingers.
Lancelot falls down from the air. "What was that for? My head is all dizzy" The squeaky voice hurled.
"Ayeeeee! How did your magic rank increased?!" Lancelot's shock expression made Alice giggled.
"I have my own ways. How can you tell, I thought you needed a magical orb or something for that? Alice questioned.
"Sir Lancelot's powers knows no beyond!" The rabbit stood on both his feet as he laughs in his squeaky voice.
They returned to the train and sat on their bed once as the train is about to start. Coming to a small tunnel that connects to the nearby station. The passengers all laugh and smiles as they are reaching the City of Saria.
Suddenly the train shook and accel through the tunnel under an uncontrollable speed. Lancelot fell on the air due to the impact. Alice lifts herself up and grabs the ears on Lancelot, pulling him with her both hands, stuffing him into her chest. The rabbit turns red as he struggles to breathe.
"Ahhh.. no, stay away!" A loud elderly woman's voice screamed through the train. "Monster, everyone run!". Passengers panicked as they crashed into each other. "Move it" "Open the doors" "Dammit its coming closer!" Noises echo through the uncontrollable train. "We are all going to die!"
They panicked more as the Red Lizardman walks towards them with his tongue sticking out. His lunges his claws against one of the passengers, grabbing his first kill on this train.
- Angel Feathers : Command: Protect - A female voice reaches the monster's ears.
Snow white feathers scattered forming a small shield protecting the passenger as Alice walks out to the lobby room of the train.

Long War [Oldest]
It was a war. It was silent, so silent that few people ever noticed that it was happening, and long. So long that those who knew forgot why it ever started. Humanity had fought against itself... and lost. Prosperity, democracy and human rights were a thing of the past now, as the world fell into Sovereigns's hands - a handful of transnational corporations (and their CEOs) that monopolized the world economy. The resistance had been long silenced with the policy of bread and games. Now, over a hundred years later, something happened. One of the Sovereigns created a VRMMORPG like none other. A science fiction game, where players could explore the Galaxy... full of advanced technologies, bloodthirsty aliens and even magic. Was it a simple computer game, or... something else?
