Alchemy Of Abyss

Chapter Ten~3

Each pyramidion contained a number of glowing wisps and after the silhouette said the last word, every pyramidion's wisps changed its color and shine. Gabriela's pyramidion reflected the shine of the ghost's white-colored wisps inside. Hers was like the glow of the messengers of destiny, yet theirs were more of a silver color.

Right next to her, Meika was holding his pyramidion with cyan-blue colored wisps. On the left was Anki, with her Erin green colored wisps flying inside her pyramidion. Behind her, Osir clenched his jet-black colored wisps shining inside.

Besides, Osir was Harut. He was staring intensely at his pyramidion, which had golden wisps inside. The last one was Mariat, who also had the same reaction as Harut, but his pyramidion filled with raspberry, pink-colored wisps.

Each of you are assigned to fulfill a certain role... walk into your destiny and lead your people. The colorful wisps transformed into certain shapes; Gabriela's changed to a floating ghost-white colored scale with two feathers above its two bowls. Each was glowing with black calamus, silver rachis, and barb filled with all the colors of other wisps.

Meika's wisps transformed into a radiant cyan circle outline, a full cyan holographic circle floating inside it, and a flaming cyan arrow with red fletching penetrating the circle. Harut eyed him curiously as it slowly changed.

His pyramidion split in half without cracking, forming a sharp line in the middle. One golden snack swirled over the line with its head facing upward and another snake swirled over it, but in the opposite direction.

Harut stared at the snakes. The second one was a golden color when it appeared, yet after its head reached the bottom of the pyramidion, its color faded and turned to a mirror one where Harut saw his confused face staring at it.

Anki's wisps were different. It changed into Erin's green sycamore-fig tree with an infinite number of glowing roots and branches that filled every inch of her pyramidion.

Mariat's one was the most complicated. He was also staring at his pyramidion with nothing but confusion. His wisps changed into two mirror-like oval outline shapes swirling opposite to one another in hyper speed, with an hourglass floating inside filled with deep pink wisps, lingering.

The last one was Osir with the most bizarre pyramidion. Shining jet-black wisps filled it, covering it whole. A slightly smaller pyramidion appeared in the middle of the black one, it filled with all the other wisps, even the mirror-like ones.

The silhouettes struck their hands roughly, the strong dominant trumpet sound hit them again along with the enraged storm. Blinding white light came out of the six divines' opened palms, running through their pyramidions aiming for the rest of the divines outside the cloudy palace.

The pyramidions swirled into the mighty light, hazing its image. The light stopped, and the pyramidions vanished along with a deadly silence filling the divine world. Before any of them took another breath, a piercing pain ran through their steady palms, causing them to scream, inscribed formed on their palms, burning their luminous flesh mercilessly, breaking their souls.

The inscriptions on their palms were glowing, blinding, almost impossible for them to see what it was or even feel anything else, but their flesh cut. The screams were loud, furiously vibrating everything, colliding with any meaning of peace in their world.

The pain stopped instantly, the light went dead, and their quivering world finally found peace. The six divines looked at their palms for the first time after their destinies were embedded in them. All pyramidions inscribed on their palms, each held their role and destiny; each held responsibility over their shoulders for eternity.

Five silhouettes transformed back to silver floating wisps and flew to the silhouette standing in front of Gabriela merging with it. The silhouette walked a few steps back away from the divines. It stopped a few steps away from the tree, then opened its hands and the silver box flew to it, resting over its opened palms. It was still radiant in a silver glow. Place your right hand over, it said and nodded for them to come closer.
