Chapter 3.

・． ━━━━━━━━━━━━

Welcome to "The Futuristic Arctic," a garden with cold air filled with many blue flowers associated with tears, hence sadness. They say a goddess with rich beauty that can't be unreachable, visits there every year to grow new flowers to represent the sadness. Such a sad state to see our goddess sitting within the blue flowers; despite her personality, she is still filled with sorrow.

"Sothis," a voice spoke, snapping out of the sky blue-haired woman, who sat within the flower beds. She turned to see a tall figure who wore a dark mask and a cloak. "So, where have you been, coming back to your garden?"

Sothis looked down in shame before saying, "Forgive me, Canopus. I've been feeling stressed lately." Then, earning a hum of response from the dark figure before, he knelt to her level.

"Yes, I can see you're very stressed, but please don't pressure yourself, my dear." Canopus moved his hand and reached over to the back of her head, leaning in pressing his forehead against hers. "It pains me to see you here in your garden, a place filled with your tears and melancholy."

Sothis stayed silent as she stared at him with her blue ocean eyes. She then let out a small chuckle and held his free hand. "You always know how to comfort me, don't you, Canopus. I always thought I was failing because I was a fool, but I guess I wasn't in your eyes."

"Maybe, maybe not. But those don't matter. What matters is that we need to fulfill our mission, remember?"

"Yes... I remember the mission."

"I didn't think Astral World had this much sand here." Durbe lifted the sand as it slowly flowed through his fingers.

Where are they now? They're in Astral World in the runes somewhere with a bunch of sand everywhere.

"So Astral, where are we right now?" Shark asked.

"I assume we're in the runes right now. The palace isn't quite fair,closed-eye Astral answered. "But despite what happened over, it doesn't go well."

"Is it the Barian that Eliphas was talking about?" Yuma asked.

"Most likely, he even informed me to keep a far distance when speaking to them."

Arriving at the palace, Astral guided everyone to the tall tower in a small hall where two other beings stood waiting for them along with another.

He had his eyes closed, pale skin, and white hair. His attire was a deluxe priest's clothing with a molecule over his left eye, and he wore black boots underneath his clothing.

"Eliphas! Enna!" Yuma called out, running towards them.

Enna gave the boy a small smile. "Yuma, welcome to Astral World once again."

"I'm guessing you brought the former Barian Emperors as I requested," Eliphas said, glancing at the group behind Yuma giving them a bow. "A pleasure to meet your acquaintance."

"Likewise, though we weren't informed why we are needed," Shark bowing slightly, glancing at the closed-eyed figure next to Eliphas feeling a little nervous for some odd reason. "And who is this?"

Eliphas glanced to his right and sighed in irritation, "I assumed you are curious about this 'he' person, aren't you Astral?" He asked, receiving a nod from the spirit. "Well, this is him. Silvanas, a former citizen of ours similar to Don Thousand and the brother of Don Thousand."
