Third person POV

"What?!" PJ exclaimed at the news.
Geno and Reaper were shocked with their mouths open. Cross looked amazed at Dream.
"What. Did you guys not recognise our names? Dream, Nightmare?" Nightmare was making everyone a fool of themselves. How did they not see their names. It literally means the title they were given.
Protector of Positivity - Dream
Protector of Negativity - Nightmare

"Ok, ok. Let's get this over with and read what we have to do," Geno said trying get on with the adventure ahead.
"Well it did say that they would lead us to something they don't think is useful," PJ said solving the clue.
"That's mean your coming to our house!" Dream said excitedly as everyone agreed.

Timeskip cause I'm too lazy~

"We have arrived," Nightmare presented the house to everyone.
"That is a pretty cool house ya got there!" Cross smiled at Dream.
"Let's go in and get this over with," Reaper quickly told as he did not want to leave his mom in trouble.

"We will all split up and search in different rooms, capiche?" Nightmare acted like the boss.
"Yes boss!" Cross shouted sarcastically and ran away while Nightmare looked dumbfounded. Everyone immediately ran all over the house searching for any clues. Many hours passed by and soon it came evening.

"We are never going to find anything in this massive house," PJ slopped onto the couch.
"It did say that the next clue was something that we didn't find useful. I have this really old box underneath my bed..."
"Seriously Dream?! You have to tell us now in the evening?!!" Nightmare just went ballistic. Then Reaper took a bucket of ice water and poured it on Nightmare.
"I think you need some ice to chill there buddy," Reaper smirked while Nightmare shot ice cold glares.
"Don't be so cold Nightmare," Cross said adding in some puns.
"You would've been dead where you have stood if it wasn't for my brother," Nightmare snarled at Cross, who was giving an innocent look. Dream came running down the stairs with a antic rustic box. Everyone gathered around as Dream opened the box. Inside was a piece of paper and 8 turquoise coloured glass balls.

Nightmare took the paper and read it out aloud.

8 children with supernatural powers, powers stronger than the gods that are currently in the heavens, will travel to the 4 corners of the Earth. Many dangers will cross their paths as one will find out a truth hidden while another perishes to the monsters that lurk in the world.

Good luck children
Signed -------

"That was a prophecy," Reaper said with discomforting look on his face.
"And someone is going to die," Geno adding to the drama.
"Can I join your adventure?" PJ just butted in, killing the suspense.
"Wow. You just killed the mood there PJ" Reaper smirked at PJ who was giving an 'eeehhhhh' look. Nightmare slapped is face in disappointment and Geno just stared as everyone were laughing.

"Sure! We would be happy for you to join PJ" Dream said cheerfully.
"Now we have to find the Protector of Creativity," Geno quickly changing the topic before Nightmare went ballistic.
"Who the heck would be the Protector of Creativity? Then how are we going to get to the Four corners of the world to find 4 spiritual orbs that we don't know what it looks like!" Nightmare was overwhelmed by the task that was given to them.
"Hey! How about Ink! He had artistic skills, probably representing creativity!" PJ exclaimed.
"Well. He is the only one with supernatural powers that is related to creativity so yeah. Let's go guys," Geno said as everyone trickled away from the room.

Timeskip brought to you by afterdeath!

After arriving at Ink's house everyone stood outside after ringing the bell.
"Hey guys! What are you doing here?" Ink asked.
"Well we have gotten into some trouble and we would like to kno-" Reaper asked politely until,
"Are you the Protector of Creativity?"
"What?"
"Are you one of the Protectors?" Nightmare said rephrasing the question.
"Ooooh yeah! My mom also talked about it ever since a weird goat monster came and said I was one of the protectors," Ink said remember the looks of this tall goat monster, looking like a king, coming to his house when he was a child.

Lurking far away from the children but close enough to hear the conversation, the same two figures stood watching the journey of these children.
"Pfft. How pathetic! They actually got fooled by that letter!"
"That was a great idea master!"
"I hope that we can get- no, they get themselves into the heavens. Then the gods will finally kill them all!"
"That's great master!"
"It is already chaotic in the heavens without the God of Determination. All I need to do is kill him so I can gain that title. But there is one problem..."
"What is it?"
"No one currently knows who it is. I was searching for years but no luck. I have an odd feeling that CQ might be able to tell us."
"How can you trust a mortal?!"
"Don't underestimate her. She knows things that I don't know of. She will definitely know who that God is. Anyways, let's get back to the castle before any more hassle."
"Yes indeed"

They both teleported away.

The moment they teleported, Geno's vision blurred and he felt dizzy. He immediately fainted on Reaper, who caught him before he hit the ground.
Finally Geno appeared in a dark void. He saw nothing but darkness. Suddenly a bright yellow star flickered in the middle of the room. Geno inched forward to take a closer look. The star shined brightly and out came a small skeleton child. Geno inspected the child several times.

"Who is this child?" Just then, Geno recognised a birth mark on the child's shoulder. It was in the same spot on his very own shoulder.

"Is this.....me?"

As Geno took a final look, everything faded to black.
