《Sallycia Book 2》Prologue (part two)

Third P.O.V.
Somewhere in the sea, between the continent of Theós and Iwor, a ship was travelling through the storm that the guardians of the sea and the guardians of the sky were throwing at the intruders.
In the ship fully equipped, there was a mother with her baby, trying to calm down the baby by singing a lullaby, while the husband was upstairs commanding his subordinates through the magical storm.
The ship wouldn't last another day in this storm...it was too strong...too supernatural to be created by mother nature. Well it was controlled by the guardians of Theós. Navigating for hours they could finally see the land, the land of the gods. They archived to coast their ship...it was a miracle they finally got to destination. They arrived somewhere in the northeast of the land.
They archived to go through the sea, but now they have to go through the mountains, the sky guardians and earth guardian until they reach their goal.
Find a God.
For days they travelled through the mountains but they found nothing.
( the gods live in a city at the other side of the continent of Theós)
A week passed and they found nothing except death...
Some subordinate fell to their death while climbing the mountains until they found a palace.
The palace was at the peak of the mountain and on clouds and also a dangerous purple lightning could be seen.
Some people died while climbing on that mountain some falling to their death other electrocuted by the purple lightning, but they still achieved their goal.
After all they were doing this for the kid.
Inside the palace everything was enormous and luxurious until they reached the throne room, where they found a being beyond their comprehension who was looking at them curiously. The being could easily have the height of 40ft.
" Fox beast? Why are you here? How did you get here?" Asked the being far bigger than them, his blue electric eyes scanning the army in front of him, not that he was worried that they could harm him, he could kill them by just lifting his finger.
The fox soldiers and the royal couple were frozen by the beauty of the being sitting on a throne of white marble.
"I asked a question, better answer it, before I erase your existence from this world" the being threatened, the Fox kin were trembling in fear, knowing that only the gods or higher beings lived in these lands. The Fox king with his family kneeled soon followed by the soldiers.
" My lord, I apologize for our rudeness, my name is Kurama no kitsune no Uzumaki and this is my wife Kushina no Kitsune no Uzumaki with our son Naruto no Kitsune no Uzumaki, may we know your name, your grace?" Spoke the king of a faraway kingdom of foxes in the land of Iwor. The 'god' looked offended that they didn't know his name, after all, they were fox beast, they were supposed to know of him.
" my name is Nox" the being named Nox said. Hearing this, the queen's eyes widened, instead of kneeling she started bowing with her head on the floor....
" Lord Nox, it's an honour to be in the presence of your immortal light" The Queen declared confusing the Fox king and the soldiers behind, since they never saw the Queen in that position.
Instantly Nox's mood changed.
"Oh my! It's been so long since someone remembered me, beside my creation and my family, it's a pleasure, please stand my child" Nox was clearly happy that someone knew of him after what they did to him and his family. And the queen did as she was told.

" For knowing me, I will grant you any wish" Nox looked at the Fox beasts.
Instead of the King the Queen continued.
" Our son Naruto....please keep him, keep him safe, save him my lord!!!" The Immortal could clearly see the desperation in the queen's eyes.
" why do you want me to keep your son?" Nox couldn't help himself but ask out in curiosity.
" Our little son will be better with you my lord, our lands are infested of hate toward our kind, the other kingdoms want our blood, they all declared war to us. our son will be targeted by many people as his mother I want the best for him, until we return to take him home" Nox was moved by this woman's word, she had the same look as his mother....if he was a father he would do anything for his kids too.
" I understand, I shall take Naruto until the wars ends over your kingdom, but what will you give me in exchange?" Nox raised an eyebrow, Nox didn't want to do this....but since he was immortal he had to do it....Nox is an immortal of course he would want something in return......nothing is free!
The look on their faces showed that they didn't expect this, until the Queen spoke.
" a temple....we will build the biggest temple of the world for you and it will be open for everyone" the Queen declared.
Before anyone could say anything.
" I accept your gift" Nox said he was clearly happy with this...sure he had temples, but only in Lusimax, that's why he accepted it.
" I will send you back" Nox took the height of 6ft and took gently the baby from Kushina's arms and flashed the Fox army back to their kingdom.
" I guess I shall move as well, I hope that Naruto will be strong enough, after all, I am selfish as well, but I still have my head on my shoulder, I wouldn't force little Naruto to do something he doesn't want to" Nox looked at the baby on his arms.
Suddenly the baby woke up, purple eyes with black rings startled Nox, he didn't expect to see those eyes. Then they soon became blue cerulean...
" how? I thought...no, it could be possible, to think that she would bless a fox...that rabbit goddess, it seems that we still have allies in the gods, but that crazy freak peacemaker? It wasn't expected" Nox looked at the baby who was staring at him.
" Guuuuu" Nox stared at the child on his arms.
" L!!! C!!! S!!!" Nox summoned three angels.
" yes my lord" the three angels kneeled at the feet of Nox.
"While I don't have my humanoid form, you three shall take care of Naruto" the Primordial god looked at the three angels on the floor.
" yes my lord" the three angels answered the immortal being.
But none of them knew that this day was the beginning of a new era.
___
1 year later.
Nox took his humanoid form to play with Naruto but he disappeared and now he
started looking for Naruto around the palace.
" that rascal, one second and he disappear, NARUTO WHERE ARE YOU!!!" Nox yelled in his palace but soon stopped when he saw a trail of blood on the floor.
"NARUTOO WHERE ARE YOU!!!" Nox was scared, he grew attached to the little kid, the blood wasn't helping either, but his worries left when he saw S on the floor with a nosebleed, which explained the trial of blood.

" t-to m-much cuteness" that's where S fainted.
Nox looked at the muscled angel for few second and decided to ignore him.
" where is he?!" Nox muttered to himself, he couldn't believe he lost Naruto in few seconds....it kinda hurt his pride...
Suddenly Nox heard two thuds, meaning something heavy fell on the floor close to him, or bodies.
He soon gets close to the zone where he heard the sound and find C and L on the floor with blood coming out of their nose.
But he wasn't focused on those two bodies on the floor he was looking at the baby, who was looking at him with big eyes.
' C-cute' was the only thing that Nox could think, but soon he was brought back by a word.
" Mama!!!"
Instantly Nox was annoyed.
" don't call me that!!! Call me big brother!!! How many time do I have to tell you that!!!" Nox was definitely annoyed by being called mama, but at the same time a guilty feeling of happiness, but he decided to hide it with annoyance.
Nox bent down to take the child on his arms, then he looked at the angels on the floors, but soon ignored them.
" Mama!!!"
" I said call me big brother!!!"
" Mama!!!"
" Big brother"
" Mama!!!"
" Big brother"
" Mama!!!"
" Big brother"
___
2 years later, Naruto's 3 years old
Somewhere in the palace of the sky, there was a young kid, who was walking around, but he wasn't just walking, the kid was also thinking, and when a child is thinking it's frightening.
Young Naruto was thinking of why he looked so different, where are his parents, he now understood that Nox wasn't his Mama, but his big bro...but still...
Naruto wanted answers.
So he went for answers to the only sources available.
Big brother.
Naruto couldn't really understand why his big brother had to change to a necklace.
Naruto entered the throne room and saw that no one was there, but its always like this.
" Big brother are you there?" Naruto had a pretty advanced language for his age, thanks to Nox who wouldn't accept any failure.
A bright flash alerted Naruto that his big bro was here.
" Naruto you called" Nox smiled at the little child in front of him.
Naruto gave a hug to Nox, then he looked at his eyes.
" Big Brother why do I look different"
Nox stiffened a little, Nox stared carefully at the child. Nox bent to the level of Naruto's eyes.
Nox had to be careful with his next words.
"that's easy!! That's because little Naruto is really special!!!" Nox prayed that Naruto would take this answer in the good way, since kids can be really troublesome.
Naruto smiled brightly.
" I see!!! Then where is Mama and Papa?"
Nox looked lost, he didn't know what to answer to his little brother.
' ah this kid!! Why do you complicate my life so much' Nox could only cry inside his mind.
" did they abandon me here? " this is going in a dangerous road, Nox thought.
Nox hugged the saddened child.
" don't say that, your mama and papa didn't abandon you, at the moment, you can't go with your mama and papa because it's really
dangerous and they don't want you to get hurt, so they put you somewhere safe, here, with your big brother" Nox tried to comfort the child, he really did.
" is that why I can't get out of the palace!?" Naruto asked looking straight at Nox eyes.
" yes, but there's also some big scary monsters outside this walls, so don't go outside without guards or me, okay?" Nox stared at the troublemaker.
" yes! I understand!!" Naruto smiled.
Then Naruto widened his eyes.
" then I have to help papa and mama, I have to get stronger!!!" Naruto looked determined.
" Yes, but you'll have to wait, 3 years minimum, since it won't be good for your body!" Nox agreed to Naruto's request, but he had to start training at 6 years old minimum, that way they won't interrupt Naruto's growth.
___
10 years later, Naruto's 13 years old.
Nox had been staring at his little brother, in fact, he was thinking...
'Naruto's handsome...that will be a problem'
Nox is thinking about sending Naruto to the human world.
Even if the war against the parents of Naruto hasn't come to an end...Naruto needs contacts, friends, rivals...even enemies if it benefits him.
This is really troublesome.
There's also the fact that Naruto started an obsession with the colour orange.
And there's also the fact that Nox is keeping tabs on the fox kingdom...they stayed true to their promise they built the biggest temple, but it also brought the fury of other kingdoms, since that Temple gave power, he decided to help them a little...call it whatever you want, but seeing this it brought more believer on his side in the Fox kingdom.
Since the Fox Kingdom brought new enemies, Nox with all his abilities cursed the sky over the enemies kingdom of the Fox kingdom. After all it was his domain he could do whatever he wanted with it.
Those became the rumors that a powerful deity was protecting the Fox Kingdom by cursing their enemies and the temple was for that deity.
Nox was really happy, since more believer were praying for him.
He was so happy but sometimes happiness has to come to an end.
Naruto's father died in the battlefield.
And Nox had to tell his little brother the sad news.
Naruto didn't take it badly, but he was still saddened, he didn't get the time to know his father, it was too late.
___
3 years later, Naruto's 16 years old
Nox was getting more powerful by the second thanks to the numerous believer growing by day.
Right now Nox was sitting on a chair looking at the powerful teenager, powerful enough to challenge a god and come out victorious, but if he goes against Nox, Naruto wouldn't stand a second, even with the weakened state of the Primordial God.
Since getting to the age of six years old, Naruto started training.
Sword training.
Mana training.
Physical training.
Magical training.
School training.(studies)
And also his eyes.
Nox looked at the teenager smiling and playing with Flowers with the angel C.
Nox decided that it was time to tell Naruto that they would have to leave...in fact they will go to the Magic Academy where every teenager of the world goes for three years. A good way for Naruto to socialize. Yup!!!
But also a good way to find and liberate his family.
Nox stood up getting the attention of the two.
" Naruto, I have something to tell you, follow me" Nox started walking soon followed by Naruto.
" Naruto do you know why I have to take the form of a necklace?" Nox started the conversation, well he had to start somewhere.
"Not really, you only told me you had too, I was waiting for more information, so I decided to wait for the moment you would tell me" Naruto grinned at Nox.
Nox smiled.
" you're such a good child"
" you remarked that I didn't age right?" Nox looked briefly, enough to see Naruto nod.
" that's because I'm immortal, I'm a primordial god to be more precise" Nox looked at the shocked Naruto.
" but if you're a primordial god, how did you end up like this?" Naruto couldn't help but ask. Naruto, of course, believed his big brother, since it explains a lot of things.
" I mean the Primordial are the most powerful beings, how could you...I see you aren't the only one" Naruto concluded, something bad must have happened.
Nox sadly nodded.
" it all happened the day of my marriage with my husban-"
" UH!!!YOU GOT MARRIED!!!"
"THIS ISN'T THE TIME YOU BRAT!!!" Nox raised his voice against Naruto is it that surprising that he got married? Nox pouted a little.
" anyway it all happened the day of my marriage, we didn't expect to be attacked in such a way, the gods weren't satisfied when the primordials were ruling, so they went into a rebellion...the war between the primordials and gods lasted for centuries, but stopped thanks to the invasion of some wannabes, the primordials and gods worked united against the invasion and won, we thoughts that it was the end, no more war, no more grudge, but we got our hope up for nothing... The gods knew that they couldn't kill a primordial...it was a ridiculous battle, but they found another way to defeat a Primordial and to force them on their knees. The Sealing Arts. The day of my marriage I saw my husband being sealed in front of me and my sister Piper, the others were already sealed, unlike them my seal was special, it let me take my humanoid form time to time."
" why was yours special?" Naruto couldn't help but ask.
Nox shivered just thinking about it.
" let's just say that the leader of the gods fancy me"
Naruto learning the reason started laughing and couldn't stop!
" big brother, there must be a reason you told me this information." Naruto looked seriously at Nox.
" hahaha I would need your help to liberate them all, I understand if you don't want to do it, I mean it's not really your pro-"
" I will do it!" Naruto smiled at Nox.
" Eh?"
