"So... You are the former Archon?" Ritsu looked at the young man in black and red armor who nodded "Yes, but I failed in my duties as Archon."

Ritsu looked serious "What do you mean?" The other Archon closed his eyes as his surroundings showed a meadow where in the distance you could see Achlyss City "As you know, Achlyss Nation was never like what you see today. Like your friend Nito, I ascended and began to imbue the land with my power, as Archon I led my people building the city of Achlyss."

At that moment the scene changed showing three eggs hatching where three dragons hatched "And create also the three guardians of the shadows. Uruloki, Egan and Dorius. Raise them and guide them by giving them the wisdom needed to protect Achlyss..."

The two watched as the castle glowed while Delaney smiled "Our nation prospered, and obviously we were not far behind in a technological sense either. And then after millennia I chose a student, a student with the potential to carry my Gnosis without needing to receive a Vision. And that student... Was Astler."

The scene changed again to Astler on his knees in front of him as Delaney looked on sadly "He was a young man with great potential, righteous and a pacifist. Until he let greed conquer his heart... I didn't notice him until one day. He betrayed me and wounded me to the brink of death at the same time my army rebelled creating a Civil war."

Astler stood with a bloody sword as he laughed viciously. Denaley lay on the ground wounded while in his hand the Gnosis glowed.

The Gnosis began to glow brighter and brighter as Ritsu noticed something was wrong. "What's going on?" Astler just watched as finally the Gnosis cracked before exploding in a huge dark explosion that shook the palace.

KABOOOM!

Astler sighed as he crossed his arms "To keep it from falling into the wrong hands, I sacrificed my body and life energy to destroy the Gnosis. That way I would prevent him from going to the other Archons but I didn't expect him to abuse his power by destroying part of our lands and the bearers of Visions. I underestimated too much and because of this... Achlyss has ended up in the worst way."

Ritsu looked serious "If you are dead, why are you here?" Delaney looked at himself uncomfortably "I am only a fragment of my being's consciousness. For some reason it managed to access you, Ritsu Sakuma."

Delaney this time turned her attention to the idol "Ritsu.... I am here because I want to pass on my memories to you.... My experiences, my knowledge. With that will help you to face Astler though. To awaken your true power. It will depend on you. But also, I can feel an anger, a huge regret in your heart."

Ritsu said nothing as he lowered his gaze "..." Delaney closed her eyes crossing her eyes "You want to make amends with Isara Mao.... Right?"

Ritsu looked up in astonishment as Delaney continued speaking "I can help you if possible, you won't be able to awaken your power as an Archon because your heart is divided. I can synchronize you with him in dreams, but it will only work for one person.... Are you willing to do this? It will be the last time you can interact with your friend but over your brother. I'm afraid that's the most I can do. I'm sorry."
