Chapter 7 - Hero of the Century

"Sister Floraius we are running out of time, the Abyssal Lord Tyrion is closer than ever to her own objective." :(???) 

"I understand that sister Thiellar, but I am trying my hardest, but my powers would not keep the seal powered that keeps the Material Dimension out of her reach." :(???) 

"Everything is happening so fast that I can't no longer predicate what is going to happen next, the chosen hero must do something fast or risk this world destruction and damned every living being to the abyss. My exterminator had already tried and failed to stop Tyrion; he is cursed to travel the void for eternity how unfortunate." :(???) 

"I only can hope that the chosen hero is able to turn things around, he already foiled Tyrion's plans by banishing two harbingers of vengeance back to the void. What puzzles me, one of the harbingers was able to manifest again in the Material Dimension in mere months, usually it takes years or centuries for a greater void creature to manifest again. We are not dealing with a regular void outburst; we are dealing an event known as eternal bloom. I hope for everyone to stay safe as during this time not seen since the Great Divine Wars such an event had occurred…" :(???) 

"We only got matter of weeks or a year until the seal is broken, and the Material Dimension would be in Tyrion's hands along with three other abyssal lords. I am trying everything humanly possible to keep the seal powered. I don't know what is happening outside our very star system, but I only can guess it's not good." :(???) 

"Sister Floraius what could we do if the thing we're facing gets darker and desperate?" :(???) 

"We can only hope that the chosen hero is able to defeat the Abyssal Lord of Bligtion if everything fails, I am willing to destroy the world of Adorila and Eluna by causing the star my name bears to explode making sure that Tyrion will have no foothold in the Material Dimension. Ever since the Great Divine Wars which caused worlds to be shattered, decayed and filled with corruption. I will not risk the fate of this Star System to fall to the abyss. I will fulfil my creator's wish and continue his own work." :(???) 

Deep in Aiden Ashwell's mind was chaotic and dark, he could see visions of worlds being shattered, worlds being corrupted and others turned into a nightmare fuel. What else he could see is countless warships engaging each other in a duel. No manner how hard that Aiden tried to get his mind under control, he keeps having these visions. Then another vision passed by where he was in pitch black darkness. When he looked up, he could see countless bodies of any race, and he could see the light from them being ripped out and being absorbed into the darkness. 

"Ara ara what we have here?" :(???) 

*Aiden Ashwell turned around only to see a towering figure sitting on throne of swords, as worse of all the darkness started to fade to only reveal a garden of disgusting portions of disease and corruption. Aiden first time in his life only sense and feel fear.* 

"Fearful mortal you are, fu fu that such adorable thing to witness." :(???) 

"Is this the mortal that the false goddess had chosen, now I can see you with my eyes, ever since my son Dothrak struck you with near fatal blow. Their attempt was not in vain." :(???) 

[I want to get out this place, please someone help me...] :(Aiden Ashwell thought as he was massively scared and wanted to get out of it) 

"Scared you are Outsider, how cute the fear fills your spine and soul, hah the false goddess never mentioned me to you hasn't she?" :(???) 

"STAY BACK!" :(Aiden Ashwell shouted as he walked backwards, trying to gain distance) 

"Stay back? HAHHHAHHHHAHA you are so clueless this my garden, no one had visited in a long time until the pathetic exterminator tried to stop my plan. Now you spoiled my plans by banishing my two sons Achlion you met twice and my ever-faithful son Dothrak…" :(???) 

"I will enjoy your cries and prayers; the false goddess has no powers here Outsider. The torment is only beginning, you would never have wished to see me in person, you are lucky as only two people seen me in person." :(???) 

*Aiden Ashwell, filled with fear and trapped like an animal, desperately keep walking back as the 6.5 feet tall, towering figure got off her throne and walked towards Aiden. The dark shadowing fog around the 6.5 feet tall, towering figure started to disappear, leaving in its wake female humanoid with black hair body with ripped up clothing's and giant mothlike wings. Her dark black eyes stared down at Aiden.* 

"Witness my true form, Outsider, you're expecting me to be rotten to the core like my children's. I will enjoy this moment, heh what would I do when I am done with you." :(???) 

"STAY AWAY?!" :(Aiden Ashwell shouted as tried frantically to walk away, but his body seems not to move) 

"Oh my, your own body is giving up on you, how adorable, which it makes easier for me, you may now know my name, I am Tyrion the grandmother and the 2nd Abyssal Lord of the void." :(??? Introduced herself as Tyrion the grandmother, she walked all the way up to Aiden) 

[Please Light Goddess help me.] :(Aiden Ashwell thought into mind hoping the Light Goddess can hear him as he was totally scared and want to go home) 

*Without warning, Tyrion dragged Aiden Ashwell's left arm and moved him around her garden, it was not pleasant thing to see, as the garden was flourishing with life but not in pleasant way. It is almost like Tyrion is trying to give Aiden a tour around, It felt it had taken hours for Aiden to tour around the garden. Aiden felt very tired and wanted to puke, but he was trapped in this dream and was resting on a chair with table in the middle of the garden.* 

"Isn't it pretty?" :(Tyrion simply asked as she was sipping what seems to be tea) 

[It's not pretty Tyrion; you know it too well.] :(Aiden Ashwell did not say thing as he was trapped in his thoughts) 

"I didn't hear an answer, I assume you said it was pretty." :(Tyrion laughed out loud, knowing the fact which Aiden did not have an answer) 

"Are you still seeking your sister?" :(Tyrion simply asked as she raised up hand showing a ball of light) 

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HE….!" :(Aiden Ashwell stood up as he slammed his fist on the table) 

"No yelling in my garden, Outsider." :(Tyrion said as she stared her dark eyes into Aiden's soul) 

"To answer your question, I did nothing to her, she acted in her own wisdom. I was totally surprised that she did the unthinkable, not only she helped to banish my son Achlion for the first time, but she fatally wounded the false goddess of light…" :(Tyrion stated in a tone that seem too curious but also descriptive) 

"Wait, you are saying, you had no control of her, my sister would not do such a thing." :(Aiden Ashwell said in disbelief as the sister he knew goes against what Tyrion is saying) 

"Correct she seems to be off and cunning, the people of the mortal dimension call her the Outlander does that rings any bells, your name Outsider seems awfully similar to Outlander despite you two being two separate beings." :(Tyrion stated as she finished sipping her drink) 

[That does not match my sister description, I know Laura for long time she is a risk taking, curious and ill-mature person. Did Laura hide some of her personality away from people like me…] :(Aiden Ashwell thought as he was extremely confused what Laura was hiding also what Tyrion is saying) 

"Do you know where the Outlander currently is?" :(Aiden Ashwell asked a simple question hoping to get an answer) 

"Unfortunately, how honest I am, I have to say no. She covers her tracks very well, which my own children's can't get any clues of tracks of her. I only know one thing is she departed where you banished my son Achlion way earlier from." :(Tyrion answered with an honest and descriptive tone) 

*Just like that, Aiden Ashwell's answer falls on deaf ears, but his mind was able to focus from that chaotic mess which the vision he currently in had ended with complete silence. When Aiden finally reopened his eyes to only see a decorated ceiling, confused, he turned his head around to see what is going on. To only find out he was in a decorated room…* 

"Is this a dream??" :(Aiden Ashwell talked to himself as he was confused where he is now) 

"No Outsider this not a dream, praise the Light Goddess you are finally wake." :(???) 

Aiden Ashwell was completely caught off guard. He turned his head towards who had spoken to him to only find a 30 year old girl, whose height is around 5.75 feet, her eyes of light blue with star in middle with yellow tint of colour. Her short but bright blue hair. She wears a court dress of a deep blue with yellow and white golden circlet with yellow gem. 

"Where am I?" :(Aiden Ashwell spoke a simple question as he confused where he is, he looked down towards his feet only see bandages that ran the length of his torso) 

"You're currently in special room reserved for you in the City Hull; you were in coma for a month when you received a fatal hit that somehow missed your heart. If you don't know me, I am Roxane Favreau current Mistress of Justice, it was I that gave you a room in star cathedral. But your presence had disturbed the nobility and church to a point, they falsely accuse you of a crime that was not possible under any circumstances. I tried to get you out of this mess in the first place with a direct order but was simply ignored. But your action's month ago had drenched any possible crime aside of killing the 6 guards which normally would result in a death sentence, but I trust you do not do it again. You might have saved countless peoples, as the city of Light was recently attacked by a horde of creatures from the very bottom of the abyss." :(??? stated as she introduced herself as the Mistress of Justice she explained in very serious and descriptive tone) 

"If the Light Goddess was still here, she would be horrified about the treatment you received when the nobility and the church locked you up. For me I sense an opportunity that the nobility and the church can't be relied on as they carelessly violated my direct order not to imprison you, since you obliterated the entire abyss horde by your own hands. There no more questioning about your abilities." :(Roxane Favreau stated as she had clear idea what going to happen now and the future) 

"I can't afford other thing for the city to have a debt to you, have a free stroll around the city leave all the civil trouble for me to take care. No one wanted a hero to be imprisoned again; your friends would be waiting outside this room." :(Roxane Favreau stated as she walked towards the door and opened it) 

[Thank the Light Goddess that Roxane is a reasonable person like Aurelia, I kind of miss Aurelia.] :(Aiden Ashwell said as he got himself of the bed and walked towards the door that Roxane opened when he tried to look for Roxane she was nowhere to be found) 

"Thank the Light Goddess you are okay." :(Celli said in happy and careless tone as she floated towards Aiden and hugged him) 

"I thought you would never wake up Outsider..." :(Ella Gill said in shy and carious tone as walked up to Aiden to shake his left hand) 

"My apologies keeping you both worried." :(Aiden Ashwell said in happy but truthful tone as he scratched his head) 

"You had us worried for a month, I never expected you would make full recovery so soon." :(Celli said as she finally done hugging Aiden and float beside Ella Gill's torso) 

"I wonder what your mission is Outsider?" :(Ella Gill asked as she was clueless what Aiden and Celli on journey for) 

"Uhhhh.... I guess find my sister who only known as the Outlander..." :(Aiden Ashwell replied as he tried find an excuse for his and Celli journey) 

"The Outlander she was one the members of a heroic S rank party that went to deepest and darkest cave of Olisville. It was she who banished the Abyssal Lord of Disease from our world. I always dream about being strong like her." :(Ella Gill proclaimed with glee as she dreamt being strong as the Outlander) 

[I know what Ella is talking about its Laura, but I don't buy it as the vison conversation with the Grand Mother says otherwise.] :(Aiden Ashwell was in deep thought about what Ella was saying) 

"The Mistress of Justice recommended that we join an adventures guild to earn an income. We almost used up all the Stellar coin that Aurelia had provided us, what do you say Outsider, think all the possibilities that would be in the future and the countless of foods I can try..." :(Celli said as she explained what the Mistress of Justice had recommended and asking for Aiden's opinion) 

"Sure, we could give it try Celli." :(Aiden Ashwell simply replied to Celli's suggestion)
