He wore a blue polo with yellow stripes, a black jacket, black pants and shoes, white skin, dark faded hair, he wears blue eyeglasses and a gold watch on his left arm. As he saw his older brother facing him he asked " What is is Robert, how's the plan work?" Robert sighed and replied, " It is a success, however, we have a problem". As Frank heard the report he takes out his jacket and put them on the couch and asked "I see, it is a success. But, what is the problem? We already hid our identity clean as [email protected]#$ yet there is a problem?" Robert chuckled and said, "Have you heard our brother?". Frank froze as he heard the name of his 'little brother'. he asked again " What about him?" Robert got up and replied " What about him? He already knocked our doors brother, he knew already our 'identity' and our 'purpose' before I step in". Frank sighed as he massages his temples and said: " I guess we have to pay the price". Robert added " The worst". He sighed and asked, " Do you still remember the declaration of John's word?" As Frank froze again and he remembers John's words, he looked at his brother with guilt. "We already walked into a thin ice Frank, one wrong move or we're dead", as Frank bow his head down, shaking because of guilt that spread across his souls.

*Meanwhile*
As John was riding on the airplane with his earphones on, watching the view of the world with chaos and destruction, however, it was beautiful. As the plane arrived in the Philippines, John saw many people talked to each other about the place they wanted to visit after that, they get off to the plane.
*a few minutes late*
As John arrived at the airport and he called on the taxi then he went in and he saw a driver and the driver asked: " Where to sir?" I replied " Bayview Park Hotel Manila". The driver nodded and drove off.
John's POV
As I was riding in the taxi towards the Bayview Park Manila Hotel and saw many people busying with their own lives, my old life on where I was traveling with my little sister finding shelter away from my so-called 'brothers'. I sighed as I recalled my memories about the past, I cannot help but wonder about how they do such a cruel act towards me and my little sister. I looked at the front and saw Vincent my brother whose waiting in me and thought that I am already here. Vincent ran towards the car and opened the door for me he smiled and said " John it's good to see ya, buddy". he and I shake our hands then we do a brotherly hug, after that. We laughed and I pay the taxi driver and the driver drove off, Vincent asked me "What brings you here brother?" I looked at him and said, "Maybe we should go to your house and talked about it". Vincent nodded and we go to his Ford Figo and left.
Hours passed as we reached my old house. As Vincent parked the car and we both get out of the car I looked at my old house in sadness, as we walking my old home. We entered the broken hallway and proceeded to my old favorite rooms since I was a child, Vincent looks at me in empathy because he knew the pain of losing something so close to you. I looked at him saying that " I know, brother". As we finished looking at the broken rooms we were standing the door on the floor that leads in the basement. I opened up the door and Vincent opened up the flashlight then I opened the flashlight as well. We walked down and saw a dusty room full of books in the bookshelves, a table with a lamp, we saw a sledgehammer that rested on the table. I pick it up and walked towards the front wall and tap it to make a mark on where I can slam it. As Vincent watches me wrecking the wall, he leaned on the table and starting to humming.
*Meanwhile*

And I fly
Further away
Than I've ever been before
It's safe to say
This sky
Is lonely and grey
But every night I feel your gravity waves
And the world is cold
But it's beautiful
I wish you were here now
I miss your soul
But you lost your light
When the darkness called
But I stand here waiting
As Vincent was watching John breaking the wall using his sledgehammer in full force, as he was watching John's back and suddenly his vision turned into a white background with John standing before him and he saw John's families both biological and adoptive. They suddenly fall into the floor and their blood starting to spread, he saw a dark clouds that stand behind spreading around John as the dark hands reaching him that spreads across his body then dragged into the darkness, without a light, his soul cannot come back as he used to be and no hope come to rescue his eternal darkness.
The last to fall
The last to fall
The last to fall
The last to fall
And I fly
Above the enslaved
My soul is burning
Like an earth reclaimed
And I try
A final crusade
This world is changing
But I'm still the same
Robert and Frank remember their past deeds, killing their parents and John's adoptive parents trying to save their wives in the hands of the demons and they were trying to protect John in the harm's way. They recalled the memories when the demons don't exist, the smiles, the laugh, the best and worst memories that happen in their life suddenly gone and they saw John in the blood that scattered throughout his body and he was holding a sword that was bathed in blood, they felt a huge spank or a big rock that crushed into their souls.
And will you be bold
Will you lose control?
I could never desert you
I could never let go
If you fall in line
And the zenith calls
I'm standing waiting
As Frank and Robert recalled their memories as their lovers were trapped by their 'enemy' that was lived in captivity on the other side of the world/De Stenen Wereld. And John remembers his past memories with his mentor training him to get stronger and yet, he was now so close to reaching the goal that he was longing for.
The last to fall
The last to fall
The last to fall
The last to fall
It's your magnetic hold
A gravity pull
I can feel you in waves
When your melody comes
It falls from above
I will not be afraid
The last to fall
The last to fall
The last to fall
The last to fall
The last to fall
The last to fall
The last to fall
The last to fall
When Robert and Vincent ended their song they closed their eyes and go back to their respective doings. As Vincent opened his eyes and saw John with a big crack wall before him as John dragged a big black case with debris, he blow the debris away and he opened the case.

She Who Reigns the Stars [Vol. 1]
*Remastered version of She Who Reigns the Stars* Tell me, what will become of us? Presenting your Goddess… Asteria, Supreme Deity of Stalera, the nation of the Universe. She who rules the stars with steel eyes and an iron will, the glorious, the beautiful, the adored Goddess, has now fallen under the hands of her nemesis… The Archfiend, Emperor of Talonis, the nation of Vice and its Shadows, has now assumed reign over Stalera after the death of the Goddess. With the power of Vice, its Shadows, and the Universe, it is assumed that he would be satisfied now that Stalera was under his mercy, and the other two nations of Yelerna and Antalis would follow suit. But much to our surprise, he isn’t because he still lacks the… Ruby, The Goddess’ last attempt to save her empire and the entirety of the Universe. Before her death, the Goddess sealed a portion of her blood, which contained the remaining powers of the Universe the Archfiend hadn’t obtained, away from his grasp. She entrusted it to one of her Zodiac Warriors, a member of her elite service known as the Zodiac Warrior Circle, and instructed him to hide the precious jewel on Earth. The restoration of Stalera and the defeat of the Archfiend would lie in the hands of whoever inherited the ruby jewel. Those who inherited the ruby were known as the Goddess’ Successor, and the one next in line to inherit it is… Auriella Corentin. Life was never the same for Auriella the night her Grandmama gave her the ruby jewel and died, thrusting the poor girl into a world of magic. Now in possession of the Goddess’ blood, it wouldn’t be long until the Archfiend found her, killed her, and obtained her ruby inheritance. But Auriella never wanted this responsibility, not when she had her own past and inner demons to battle against. Nevertheless, she finds herself seeking an alliance with the Zodiac Warriors and a strange barista as she learns to wield the powers the Goddess bestowed to her. But as frequent demon attacks, a secret admirer (or stalker), strange notes, and a handsome, amber-eyed boy pile onto her plate, it is no longer clear whether the universe needed Auriella to be their savior or to be the Goddess’ (inferior) replacement. A Goddess in need of redemption. Four Nations at the brink of destruction. Our question still remains unanswered… What will become of us? [Updates Monday, Wednesday, Friday @8pm PST]
