As you step out of the portal with Aatu, you take in the environment around you. It appears that you're on a moon that's not so dissimilar to the one that belongs to the Earth, and you can see many other moons that look the same all in orbit of the moon that you're standing on. The landscape around you is a desolate plain of rock and moon dust, and as you walk with Aatu, you feel much lighter than you normally do because of the reduced gravity.
After you and Aatu stop walking, Aatu speaks to you in a calm tone while looking up at one of the moons that's in the sky.
" We're here. "
You glance at Aatu as he's staring at the sky and you can see that he's clearly deep in thought. You wonder what kind of thoughts a god could have that could cause him to think this deeply. As Aatu stares up into the distance, you ask him a question.
" So when do you plan on telling Izael and the others about the ring? "
Aatu responds to you as he continues to stare upwards.
" You will tell them once this meeting is over. "
You turn your gaze upwards at the sky with Aatu as he stares into space. You both stand there silently for a minute or so as you both take in the view of all of the surrounding moons. You feel at peace in the silence of the environment around you.
Then shortly afterwards, a blue portal opens up to your left and you can see Izael, Noeh, and Mimi all walk through. Mimi looks around in wonder, then she notices you and runs up to you excitedly and jumps towards you to give you a hug.
" STAR FALLER!! "
She yells in excitement upon seeing you again as she floats towards you with her arms open. She gives you a hug and looks up at you while she inquires about your absence from the castle.
" There you are!! When we were in the castle, you both disappeared really fast and Noeh and Izael didn't know where you went. Why'd you guys leave us, Star Faller? You made me super scared because I thought that I lost you... "
You smile gently as you look down at Mimi, then before you're able to respond to her, Aatu cuts you off and responds for you.
" I wanted to take him to the battle in your village and show him the might of Izael's angels as they defeated the dragon. "
Mimi's eyes light up in amazement.
" WOAHHH!! You watched the angels slay the dragon!? I wish I was there to see that!! "
You think about giving her a reason as to why she wasn't brought back, but you stay silent so as to not remind her of the awful things that she saw back at the village.
As Mimi and Aatu talk in the background about the great dragon and the angels, you tune out their conversation because you notice that Izael is staring at you menacingly. You see him drop his gaze down to the ring on your finger, then look back up into your eyes as if he's telling you that he knows that you weren't wearing it before.
Aatu and Mimi's conversation comes to a sudden stop when you all see a large golden portal open up in the distance in front of all 5 of you. After a couple seconds, you see a huge man wearing a golden suit of armor step through slowly. You notice that the man has dark skin and long blonde hair as he approaches you. You can see that his armor has golden chains on it and he's wearing a golden crown. As the man walks towards the 5 of you with his chest out, you can see the golden chains from his armor completely destroying the surface of the moon as they drag on the ground behind him. Once the man reaches you, he looks down on you like you're nothing more than an insect standing before him. Based on his height compared to yours and the other gods, you think he's got to be at least 10 feet tall. There's no doubt in your mind that this individual is more than just a man. This individual is a God. This individual is Nahzgor.
