The present is where we find true freedom and authenticity. It is a space where we can choose to let go of regrets, grudges, and resentments and embrace forgiveness, love, and compassion. In the present, we have the power to shape our attitudes and responses, and to make conscious decisions that align with our values and aspirations.


The God Demon Powers shimmer in space, their spherical forms a tapestry of mystery. On their surface, patterns of three half-moons emerge, alight with hues that dance in celestial patterns. These carvings are no mere happenstance; the patterns mirror demons' emotions when they become God Demons, where red, blue, and green hues ignite the core feelings of anger, sadness, and fear.

In fleeting moments, these ancient stones reveal more. Five colors awaken, adding yellow and orange to the powers, indicating the emotions of love and joy respectively. Yet, legends whisper of those rare few who've unlocked a sixth half-moon, an elusive symbol hinting at a realm beyond comprehension.




Ether, the brilliant founder of research teams across the planet of Kodona, was driven by a singular goal: to uncover the truth behind God Demons, and the beings above them. His tireless pursuit of knowledge was fueled by a fascination with the powers possessed by God Demons and the unique abilities granted by various eye powers. As Ryn explained his discovery, Ether's eyes sparkled with interest and determination.

"Show me," Ether commanded, a smile playing at the corners of his lips.

With a look of concern on his face, Ruyx quickly steadied the powers. "Careful there, Ryn. We don't want to damage it," he said. Ryn nodded in agreement and stepped back, but Ether was not as cautious. He reached out to touch the powers, and as his hand made contact, the entire room lit up with a blinding light.

Ryn shielded his eyes and heard a deafening roar coming from the powers. It was as if something had been unleashed. Ruyx and Ether were thrown back by a powerful force, and the room was filled with smoke and debris. When the smoke cleared, Ryn saw that the powers were now glowing with intense red light.

"By the Gods..." Ether whispered, his voice filled with awe. Ryn approached the powers slowly, his heart racing with excitement and fear. He could feel the energy emanating from the powers, pulsating through the room.

"We've done it," Ryn said, his voice barely above a whisper. "We've found the key to unlocking the true potential of the powers. With this, we can unlock the secrets of the Gods themselves."

Ether's intelligence shone through as he immediately noticed something significant. "Ryn. My visit here may have just proven your theory." 

"What do you mean, Mr. Katayama?" 

Ether moved back toward the door and, after a minute, the power's core turned a light shade of red instead of being dark. The shaking stopped, and the core reverted to its original blue color. Ether exclaimed in amazement. "Why did these powers react to me?!"
