Third Person's pov

Running he came, the doors of the Hall of Fame made a loud bang as it opened. He stumbled with heavy breaths and scared eyes and ran towards the center and kneeled down before the throne.

"S- Sire..."

"Yuta," The low and rough voice called his name. He clasped his hands and slowly looked up. "Did I let you do this for you to kiss the floor? What are you doing?"

"I- I'm sorry... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry-"

"Yuta!"

His body shook and flinched as the voice echoed throughout the room. He didn't know what to do. He didn't know what emotions are running through him. He couldn't understand anything, but he needed to face him even though he knew it would bring him to punishment.

"Sire!" He shouted in despair. "The- The prophecy.."

Norm, the god of all gods, raised his head and looked down. He propped his elbow to his chair and leaned on his hand.

"Speak."

"The Prophecy of The Phoenix... I saw it. It's real... it did happen."

Norm's eyes slightly widened. Yuta's words triggered his interest which made him nod. "Then I expect for the war to be over when she meets her father. Yuta, once she fights him and wins the battle, everything will come in peace. Just like what the prophecy told us. What are you so scared of?" He asked.

"Everything did not happen exactly like what the prophecy had told us," Yuta took a breath and gripped his string of faith. "She had one wing, and those wings weren't black. Instead, it was a color of different shades of each color. Her eyes weren't just purple. The other one was gold. A- And her dimension..." Yuta shivered unconsciously, pausing in the middle of the sentence as he remembered the fear he felt. "It was... it was powerful enough to swallow mine."

He had a calm look on his face, something majestic, serious, yet terrifying at the same time. His hand slowly grabbed his scythe. It had a long curved blade, with writings of his own spells written on the pole where he held the weapon. It was as huge as him, and everyone knew it was something more than its size.

"The Darkness, which desires for great destruction and power. The Doves, which owns a realm of archangels. The White Angel and the Dark Cupid together. And the Phoenix."

Yuta stared at him, eyes wide and confused. What was he saying? He couldn't understand anything. Though he knew he was more than smart enough to top every sorcerer in their world, why can't he still understand what was going on inside the god's mind?

Maybe because he's still a little too young and early for this.

"Yuta, who do you think will win?"

"T- The Phoenix?"

Norm laughed and walked down his throne. He knelt down in front of his disciple and shuffled his hair gently as a sign of endearment. Yuta's little smile made Norm feel proud even more.

"We can hope that it will be the Phoenix. But see, not everything in the prophecy will happen exactly as what is said. And that is why I wanted you to be their trump card."

"But I failed already!"

"Trying to torture the Phoenix is not your trump card. It is your brain and skills. If you cannot change her perspective, then change the plan she executed."

Yuta furrowed his brows.

"You don't mean..."

"Yes, yes, I do mean it. I want you to go back and make Jung Eunbi's true power rise."
