BD: The Pillars Of Creation (COMPLETE) Book 1

Chapter 34 - The Dusk

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* Nora's POV *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

As a Queen, I must protect my people. As my foster parents used to say, always be kind, just, and humble. I lived with them in the forest, we scavenged for food every day and we were always moving to avoid the dangers of the Darkness.

But, one black Dusk. We got attacked on our way to this Kingdom. My Father tried to stall time for me and my mom's escape. It didn't take long before the Darkness caught up to us. I watched as they devour my mom and as she screams for me to run. But my legs did not budge, I can only watch and then I fainted.

I then woke up laying in bed, and that's when I met Denmark at a young age. He was asleep next to my bed, at first I was remembering what transpired and decided to cry. Denmark did not hesitate to comfort me. Young love, how I miss it.

"NORA!!" Someone that sounds like my King is banging and calling my name at our bedroom door. Then he just bursts in.

"AHHHH! NOT THE DOOR!" I quickly bonk my husband, "What's wrong with you to do that!?"

"Ow! Ow! Calm down! We need to get to the throne room as soon as possible!" He doesn't wastes time and carries me, bridal style, making me feel dwarfed in his large frame.

We end up in the room with only 6 out of the 7 Beings and that's when I realized something is wrong. "Where's Allure?"

Everyone is deep in thought to realize we were there but when they look up they quickly address that Radiant has been apprehended by Darkness. The crowd of Philosophers is shocked by this revelation. "Who will defend us now!?" One of them exclaims.

"Everyone, Everyone, please calm down. Our priority is getting our forces ready before the battle. Is Cade here?"

"Sire!" Cade raises his paw in the crowd. And walks in front.

"Are the plasma guns ready?" He ponders.

"They are a bit unstable, it could be a great risk for the users if it's rushed."

"It's fine!" The leader of the Archers steps forward, "We Archers are ready to lay our lives to risks for his Majesty." Cade grimaces.

"Very well." The King says.

I intervene, "But Denmark! We mustn't let their lives on the line!" He faces me with a frown on his face.

"Sacrifices shall be made if we want to keep living peacefully." I look back at the bowing Archers. "And our people have their reasons to protect our Kingdom too."

"Very well, I just wish that, if you have a chance to live, I want you all to take it!" They all say 'Yes for our queen!'

Cade continues to tell that armors are scarce and can only give to those who are great at fighting in close combat. "I hope it will work since I've never used Creation magic to infuse magic into armor before." Numtal seems to feel impressed by Cade's inventions.

"Wait, you mean to say, you use My Creation magic? Me?" Numtal and the rest feel surprised that Cade started using Creation Magic and make fewer mistakes.

"Well, it's all thanks to Blazer. He helped me purge the wrong-created artifacts." He proudly states.

"I thank you for your help in these times, Cade, Blazer, and all of my loyal subjects," I tell the crowd.

Meanwhile in Darkness...

✡⭑𖤍𓆩✡𓆪 Allure's POV 𓆩✡𓆪𖤍⭑✡

There are things that all of them do not know. I have been here before and this revelation is inevitable. It is crucial for the end of all Astrals. Though it may sound morbid, it has comfort behind it. They misunderstood and forgot the Creator's intentions but I remember-

"Allure." Arthur commandingly says, "Do your magic." I look down below into the abyss where Darkness rejoices for their upcoming victory.

"Allure no! Please stop!" I look at Radiant, poor little fox. His cheek fluff is matted and his eyes were bloodshot. "I'm begging you..."

"Sorry, Radiant, this is for everyone's sake." He looks down frustrated and tired. I stand in the middle of a circle with 12 stones surrounding it evenly. This is it, no coming back.

"Oh world that I dear so, I ask for you to move the Dawn forward. I seek for the future-"

The circle started to glow in a purplish light.

"I wish to see the light of tomorrow's sunrise, thus let me see the Dusk-"

A yellow glow joins the circle.

"With it, the warmth of fire... That I long for whenever it's cold-"

A red glow follows suit.

"Let me feel the water's gentle touch to cleanse me-"

A blue hue mixes with the colors.

"The fresh breeze in the spring, that makes me feel home-"

A white light envelops the circle.

"To watch the landscape far in the distance, full of plant life-"

A dirt tone unites with its colorful friends.

"And finally... With the life, I am embedded with, I thank you Creator for giving me an end to hope for-"

"World Manipulation: Numaep Isesem."

The circle expands and envelops the horizon and the ground shook with it, the Dawn slowly fading behind mountains and replaced by Dusk.

"Great job, Time Being." King Arthur grins and pats my shoulder. "Now, I don't have any use for you." He lifts me off the ground, but I know what he's about to do.

The world slows down as he threw me down the abyss with the rest of the Darkness. Finally, it's time for me to rest. "Feront... I'm sorry, someday, we'll meet again."

I close my eyes and finally fell onto solid ground, I accepted my fate as my powers have left me. Without me, Time will cease to exist but, when I created the World Manipulator, it will keep the world, in a halted Darkness, indefinitely...

Until then, we shall rest...
