The Celestial Savior

Chapter 4

When I got out of the car, I said thanks to the man who had given me a ride. I asked him how much he would charge for the ride, but he said it was free. What a nice man.

"Where will you go now?" I asked.

"Probably back home," he replied.

"Thank you again, Sir. Because of you, something terrible might be stopped," I said.

"What did you just say?" The man asked.

"Oh, nothing. Just some problems with my kitchen," I lied, trying not to give away my reason for being here to see my mother.

"Okay then. I hope your kitchen get fixed," he said. He smiled and got into his car, then drove away.

I sighed and turned around to look at a building. It was a small shack. But it was more than an ordinary shack. It held an elevator that teleports everyone in it into the core of Diulus.

There wasn't a line today, like there usually was, but even if there was a line, I wouldn't have to wait long, because the teleportation into the core was almost instantaneous.

The shock doors were a few feet away, so I walked in, revealing the doors of an elevator. I stepped inside and descended into the sun.

The teleportation was gut wrenching. Only veterans of the elevator didn't throw up after using it.

As soon as I was fully in the elevator, I braced myself for what was coming next. My stomach felt as if it was being pulled in. My legs felt as if they were stretching out, as well as my arms. My eyes felt as though they had been lit on fire. I felt too heavy to stand, and when I was fully teleported into the core, I fell, clutching my stomach.

I had to vomit for a few minutes. The pain was unbearable, but the pain of keeping this secret to myself hurt even more.

I forced myself to stand up and fight the pain. It shook off after a minute of groaning, and I was very thankful.

Looking up, I smiled, knowing the trip to the core was worth the pain.

It was a beautiful sight. A more precious view could not be found anywhere else on Diulus.

There were swirls of arcane fire in various colors loosely roaming around, moving in many different ways. The floor and bridges of the core was nice and cold. The top of the core looked like the cosmos. What made it better was it was moving. This moving view was Deliano. Diulus could see the universe from here. I couldn't stop admiring the amazing view. No wonder mother loved to live here, I thought. I snapped out of my moment of awe and thought, I have to go now. I have to find Diulus.

So I decided to start moving. I chose a bridge to go to Diulus. They all lead to Diulus. They just had different views getting there.

Walking on the elevated bridge, I looked at the floor, and I saw many stars. Could one of them be Aragon? I didn't know, which was why I was here. I ran the rest of the bridge, trying not to fall off, even though the floor would rise to help me get back on where I was.

When I reached the end of the bridge and got off, I had to hold my breath so I didn't lose it in awe.

The airborne symbol of Diulus was circling a woman who was attached to the core by her feet, he feet and the core acting as one. When she moves, it is as if she is moving in water, as the core ripples like waves.

That woman was the star itself.

Diulus. She was beautiful. With long, luscious hair the color of gold, and jade green eyes, the five foot eight woman looked naturally beloved. She was wearing a long, elegant dress the color of Crimson, with black high heels. No woman was more pleasing to the eye.
