Hello all again and thank you for reading the second part of the story. All feedback is appreciated and I hope you enjoy

Central region of the universe

The central region of the universe was one of the grandest locations to exist. A particular planet stood out among the vast array of nebula and star clouds that stood here. The planet in question overflowed with divine radiance in which it could repel all types of evil and animosity. This planet was the home world of seven of the most powerful beings to exist, the Rulers.

The home of the rulers was filled with prosperity and propriety that caused the vast expanse of these almighty beings who were worshiped as gods. In a certain area of this planet stood a large palace, in which acted as the source of the divine radiance and the centre of authority. In this palace sat seven chairs arranged in a position that showed neither dominance or control of the rest.

The beings sat on the chairs could only be regarded as the epitome of perfection and excellence as they sat in their white armour that were void of any dirt and exuded a holy might that would cause anyone to instantly bow. A figure walked into the palace and bowed deeply towards these godlike beings.

"My lords, I have relayed the lords comfort and question to the monarch of shadows" this figure would be known as the envoy of the rulers.

"What did the shadow monarch reply with?" asked one of the magnificent beings sat in the hall.

"After the death of the monarchs son, he has decided to-to leave the planet" replied the envoy in a ever so cautious tone.

The rulers were surprised at the response of the monarch as for the last hundred years they had been trying to invite him to their world or to meet with them but he always refused. They were both shocked and happy internally as they thought that he would stay on the planet till the end of time.

"Did he say where he was going?" asked the brightest fragment of brilliant light at the front with a hint of curiosity in his voice.

"He did not specify my lord" the envoy replied. "But-

"But what" asked another fragment.

"The shadow monarch mentioned visiting the lords planet" replied the envoy hesitantly.

Silence engulf them all as the envoy was pale with horror at the thought of what response the rulers might give whilst the rulers themselves were both happy and relieved that after a hundred years, albeit not much compared to their true age, they managed to penetrate the stubbornness of their new friend.

After the long silence in which was broken by the brightest fragment by asking another question which shocked the envoy. "Did he say when he would come?" Asked the ruler, with a trace of excitement in his voice.

The envoy nearly fell over at the question asked by the ruler and replied cautiously wanting to no longer be in this room as the attention of the rulers were all focused on him. "No my lords, he did not specify when he would visit"

The rulers, although saddened at the thought of the unknown answer of when they would be able to meet the successor to the brother they respected very much. They understood that it was not their choice towards the matter. After another bout of silence the brightest fragment then spoke again. "Very well, you have done well, you may leave".

"Thank you, my lords" replied as he bowed again and left the hall with a sigh of relief.

After the envoy left the hall a sudden burst of laughter erupted from the brightest fragment which surprised the other rulers for a brief moment until they caught up with what their brother was thinking.

"Haha, finally he has left that place, I never thought that he would!!" said the brightest fragment with both happiness and relief resounding in his voice.

The other rulers both expressed their happiness towards their success at managing to get that stubborn person to finally live his life, all except one who frowned at the thought of what could happen.

"Third brother, what's going through your mind?"  asked the brightest fragment and second brother.

"Wouldn't the shadow monarch leaving earth be a bad thing, brothers and sisters, due his abilities and his unique magic meaning that he could amass a huge army whilst growing in power, and in turn be a threat to us" the sceptical ruler replied.

The room turned to silence as they stared at their eldest brother for an answer.

The brightest fragment POV

He was caught in a loop here as he searched for an answer to the question his third brother asked. After thinking for some time the answer clicked in his head and a smile formed on his face.

"That could be the case for any other being that would have became the shadow monarch, but think about Sung jin-woos character and think if he would ever do that. With his compassion towards his friends and to the innocent, would he intentionally start a war with us" He replied which after thinking through it, brought relief to the other rulers in the room as they thought about how he was both kind to his friends and beyond ruthlessness towards his enemies.

We talked for some more about the events going on and wether they required attention to and other general issues.

Unknown part of the universe

On a certain planet in the region a black gate appeared out of nowhere as a figure wearing black clothes which matched the overwhelming dark aura of this person. He walked for some time before reaching a cliff and looking over the edge onto the landscape.

"Well then, let's see what new adventures await us" he said to no one in particular with a light smile across his face blending into the shadows.
