BD: The Pillars Of Creation (COMPLETE) Book 1

Chapter 9 - The 7 Beings

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* Salinas's POV *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

"Child..."

I have been scrying upon my child since his birth, and this is the first time he responded. "Mom?" My eyes teared in joy, hearing him respond to my call.

I can barely respond as I weep in the scrying fountain. "My Radiant..." I reach into the fountain wanting to touch my only child. "How have you been..?" I inquire, though I knew what had happened I still wanted to hear it from his point of view.

His eyes tearing up with a smile on his face, all I could do is reach out, I want to hug him, comfort him, and tell him that everything will be okay. That I was there. "It went great!" He chuckles, "I met many good people and friends."

"That sounds wonderful, my child." I reach out again, but this time I get interrupted.

"Salinas, our companions are asking for guidance. I am sorry for interrupting your talk with your child but, this is an important matter." Looking back at my child he has a confused expression. Seemingly, disturbed by the lack of my response.

"I'm sorry, Radiant. I must go but, I will come back and we can talk more, is that okay?" He nods and bids me goodbye. "Goodnight Radiant, sleep well."

I stand up from the scrying fountain and follow Allure towards the main chamber. My fellow beings are chattering with each other seemingly in an argument. "We must banish him quickly!" Said Feront.

"He might be of use to us, to aid Radiant!" Numtal stated, "He could learn more of what is coming to destroy our beloved Eumava and inhabitants." Gargan cuts in.

"And who are you to tell us what to do, Creation."

"SILENCE!" I shout aloud and it fell silent, "What on Eumava are you all arguing about?" Feront seems to grumble under his breath.

Torga answers my question, "Salinas, there is an exiled Celestial Astral given to us by the Higher Power." I look down in the middle of the room and sure enough, there lies a Jerboa, limbs bound with a rope and a rat skull, masking his face. I can see his eyes glint in rage and sadness, confused and tired of what's about to happen next.

I kneel next to his face. "What's your name?" I ask gently. The Fire and Earth groan at the way I handle this being. But, I pay them no mind.

"My name... is stripped away from me. Because I save my world." He closes his eyes. "I had to sacrifice my Father..." Feront interrupts before he could finish.

"Alright enough of this crap! Just kill that thing!" I stand up and walk in front of Feront, "What Princess?"

He seems to have forgotten his position, "Feront, do you hear yourself?"

"Yes I-"

"Then shut up."

He shudders, getting the message of my words. "Y-yes, c-continue, Being."

Like a pre-recorded message he continues, "My Father, was possessed by one of his many brothers, one of them attempted to control him. One day, he told me that he was being controlled, he asked for me to stab him once he was asleep." He doesn't seem to have remorse for his Father. "You wondered... Why don't I have grief for my Father..?" I nod. "Why... Had he picked me? Even though my other brothers have more power to their name. Does he, want to strip them from me too? Cause it worked..." Tears fell from the skull mask he wore, "They hated me, beat me up, and then torture me. Then they weren't satisfied, they made me mortal and threw me here..." His eyes were filled with rage and he shouts! From his shout, it is apparent that he can destroy things with his voice. The walls are cracked.

"You're the child of music." He nods.

"But, not anymore." I felt pity for him so I asked.

"Do you want to be happy?" He looks at me and no one seems to disagree with my decision. "While making others happy to be with you too." His eyes were filled with hope.

"I do. I want to be happy with someone." I untied him and ushered him to stand up.

"As long as I have power, I will keep you alive but, with a condition. I want you to accompany my child. No matter what happens, never leave his side." I lead him to the scrying fountain. "His name is Radiant, he may be your lover or just as a friend, your choice."

"What is my mission?" He looks even more confused and I smile. "I know I have to accompany him but, how does this work?"

"I strip away the law of you not having your name, tell me, what is your name?" He seems to freeze on the spot as I say this.

"My name is Jamis." I pet his head with my two fingers, but, I'm pretty sure Radiant is much smaller than him, it's weird being tall.

"Alright Jamis, I will send you to his room, with clothes, of course, wouldn't want my son to have a heart attack." I touch the scrying fountain while holding Jamis.

"Xielagihole"

Jamis body gets transported into Eumava pixel by pixel. He seems used to the spell's weird stages. I held him until he was transported to Eumava. "Take care of my Radiant," I tell him.

I scribed upon them the whole night seeing that Jamis did not hesitate to sleep next to Radiant and cuddle him in his sleep. I hope Radiant understands and picks up on this soon enough.
