As I open my eyes I notice I'm on a hard and cold floor. As I stand up I see several people waking up in the room around me. I hear a whisper tell me to kill them. I shake my head and help a few of them up. There's 3 women and 5 guys in the large dark room. "What am I doing here?" A girl with pink hair says as she draws a knife. Everyone quickly snaps their heads and looks at me. "Did we all hear that?" A man says as they all draw weapons. A girl replies as she pulls a pistol out of its holster. "Yea, if we all heard that right, the kid with white hair is the reason we're here." She says as they start walking toward me with their weapons aimed toward me. I back up and summon evony. "Now I didn't bring you here. I'm not sure what's going on." I say as the girl with pink hair lunges at me. I quickly grab her wrist and slam her to the ground. She coughs up a little blood. "Wait, you're human." I mumble as she struggles to get up. "Yea, we all are." They all say at the same time. Something isn't right here. Hey, Angel, do you know what's going on? I think as I hear her sigh. As I blink I see everyone lose their initial form and turn into black shadows of the people that were there. "Well you saw through the trick. So maybe you are the one." A voice says as I get dizzy. As I shake my head I notice I'm in my room. The man with the black robe is still standing in front of me with his hand on my chest. "Sorry, I had to put you through that test to see if you truly were the one I seek." He says as I stare at him. "It wasn't hard or anything. Barely even stressful." I reply as he smirks. "No, but not even Satan could break free of that illusion." He says as he takes a step back and sighs. "My name is Azoria Kaeler." He says as he grins slightly. "I knew it had to be you. I tracked your energy here and I have questions, but I'm sure they'll be answered in time. But to answer the questions I sense you have: I am not from your plane of existence, yes I am very powerful, and no I do not wish to hurt anyone." He says as Ceraphine walks through the hole in my wall. The wall fixes as she walks through. "So you don't mean any harm to Kai?" She asks as he shakes his head. "No, I mean no harm. I only wish to sate my curiosities." He says as she glares at him. "So Azoria, you have the ability to freeze time around objects. That is something I've only seen once." She says as he looks at her with a smile. "I try to use it for peaceful purposes. Like avoiding a fight or unnecessary conflict." He says as she teleports to me. "Kai, keep your eyes open around him." She whispers as I nod lightly. "Do not worry. I know your suspicious of me, but I truly mean no harm." He says as I hear my angel almost growl. What's wrong? I think as I hear her mumble. "This guy, his energy is extraordinary. It is really making me uneasy." She says as I look at him. I can sense it, he is really powerful. I think as he holds out his hand and smiles. "Kai, I would like to talk to you in private." He says as I stare at him. Before I can reply, I get teleported with Azoria to some unknown place. "Kai, I have not come to hurt you. But on the same note, I also haven't came to aid you in anyway." He says as I look at him. "So why are you here?" I ask as he smiles. "I felt your energy through the plane wall that separates our existences." He says as he walks to me and touches my chest. "Or more specifically, I felt this beings energy within you. I know you can call upon their power, but this is very abnormal. I sense that this energy isn't even from this plane of existence." He says as I stare at him blankly. "So, your telling me that my- I mean this power within me isn't from this plane of existence?" I ask as he nods. "That is correct, it's far too powerful to just be a regular being." He says as he backs away. "So I came to investigate that energy. Well, I also want to learn more about your world and the beings within it." He says as I close my eyes. "Azoria, can you explain to me how you broke through the plane wall so easily?" I ask as he smiles lightly. "Well, I have quite a bit of power. I'm actually the strongest in my plane of existence." He says as I remember the scarlet angel. "So you're like the scarlet angel?" I ask as he looks at me. "Scarlet angel? What's that?" He asks as I stare at him. "You don't know what that is?" I mumble as he shrugs. "Never heard of it before." He replies as I sigh. If he hasn't heard of it then he probably isn't the strongest of their plane. But what if their plane has a different title but it means the same thing? I think as he scratches his head. "Hm, you seem to be thinking deeply about something. I'm sorry I don't know much about your reality, but I'd be more than happy to learn. I would love it if you would teach me all about your reality and everyone within it." He says with a genuine smile. "You're a weird guy, you know that?" I ask as he laughs.
