The Ancients World-Chapter 4: Chaos in both worlds

While Cera sleeps until the next morning, there are many things happening in the real world and Ancients World. Many high ranking officials are gathering to discuss any information in finding The Son of Arch-Angel Michael. The 3 greatest guild leaders are meeting in person to discuss how they should proceed, they all know divine is the highest grade you can get in quality. If a player has this, than they will be an invaluable asset to there guild. f𝐫𝑒𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧૦𝘃𝗲l.c𝚘𝘮

The first to speak is the leader of The Steel Legion, Sir Erikson. "It is obvious that no one knows who this player is. I don't see the point of even discussing this at the moment." Sir Erikson is an intelligent and shrewd man. He used that to get where he is in the world of guilds.

The next to speak is the leader of Cloudless Sky, Dark Blade. "You are playing a dangerous game Erik. If we don't establish some ground rules than one of us will have an unfair advantage. The balance of the great guilds must not be upset." Erik has always been a manipulator and he hates it when he is called out. He believes that people should only listen to him.

The third leader in the room stays quiet as the two bicker. Once they are done talking the leader of Willow Tree, Wilted Rose speaks. "We have these meetings in special circumstances. None of us have what is needed to find or lure this person in. I think working together will be more productive than playing against each other." Wilted Rose is the only female leader in the top 3 guilds. When she took command of her guild they went from 19th to 3rd in a year. Knocking Deadzone out of there 3rd place spot. If anything can be said about Willow Tree is that no guild should take it one on one.

Dark Blade lays down his seal of cooperation first, the next to follow is Wilted Rose. "You know this is the best decision Erik. The Ancients World is to big for a single guild to search for one player. If the church of light finds him before we do than it will be impossible to find him." Everyone in the room knows how powerful the church of light is. They hold the highest political Authority in Ancients World. They are in charge of crowning kings and queens, The Pope and Saintess are different powers in the church. They hold equal power to the kingdoms rulers, their seers are in charge of naming the most fit ruler every 8th son or daughter in line. They do this so one family doesn't rule a kingdom for to long.

Soon Erik relents and lays down his seal of cooperation, the seals never leave the table till the task is completed or failed. "As soon as he is revealed this arrangement is over. I don't like this to begin with. We should all prepare for tomorrow when the wilds open." They end the meeting leaving the table and exiting the room. Similar things are happening to guilds below the 4th place spot.

A similar thing was happening in Ancients World. The highest powers in the church and governments arrange a meeting via magical projection. The first to speak was Pope Alexander Leopold the VIII. "This is an unprecedented event, The Son of Arch-Angel Michael has been revealed to the world. Never in our history has a child been born of half angel and half human blood. Being the son of the strongest and bravest angel as well as the greatest warrior in heaven is not something that will ever occur again. You all need to exercise caution, this young one is the grandson of the Almighty Father." As the Pope finishes speaking the leaders of the 15 kingdoms listen intensely. This is an important meeting as it could play in the fate of one of there kingdoms.

The most powerful warrior and magical user in the church is about to speak, Saintess Lucy. "In time he will grow even more powerful than our worlds greatest warriors. I was blessed by the gods of light at birth, him on the other hand is of divine blood and is the direct son of Arch-Angel Michael. He is by all means worthy of being called an angel if you meet him. If he is to be in your presence treat him like your life depends on it. It is clear that the highest powers of heaven are watching him." The Saintess is a incredible fighter on account of her blessing from heaven at birth. These are great words of warning and anyone who takes them lightly is a fool. The respective leaders of every kingdom on this continent are having to take this matter very seriously. 𝗳r𝗲𝙚w𝐞𝚋𝘯𝚘ѵ𝗲l.𝑐oｍ

The king of Highland, Gregory Francis the VII is contemplating a serious question. He wants to know what the seers have seen and if any useful information can be used in protecting his kingdom. He is very patriotic for his home and highly respects the church of light. "Can we have any information that your seers have revealed? It could help us all in locating The Son of Arch-Angel Michael." Alexander and Lucy look at each other contemplating if they should reveal the little information they have.

The Pope is ultimately in charge of seers and prophecy related things in the church, along with crowning Kings and Queens. The Saintess is in charge of fighting off evil and leading the armies against the forces of darkness. Alexander decides to reveal the only information they have. "The seers are being blocked by heaven regarding anything about The Son of Arch-Angel Michael. All they were able to see was where he was when he awakened his power. The city of Blue Grass. That is all we know." Everyone visibly recoiled except for the King of Zenith, Herold Marcus the II. The reason for this reaction was because of how greedy and arrogant this man is. There is no way that he will allow the church to search his country for something that he believes is his.

Herold Marcus remains calm in his magical projection, he gives a very subtle smile. "I want the church and all the kingdoms to know that you are banned from searching my country for the boy. He is ultimately my citizen, therefore he is mine." The Kings and Queens are unsurprised by this reaction. This is typical of Herold and his way of ruling.

Saintess Lucy on the other hand is visibly shaking in rage and fury. "I don't think you understand what is going on here Herold....This is something you should leave to the church...." She has threat and underlined meaning throughout that entire sentence. Herold on the other hand is unfazed by her words.

He stands up and his projection walks over in front of Lucy. "You are not my ruler, I'll rule my Kingdom how I see fit. I'll kill the boy if I wish." Those words were the last straw for Lucy has she released her power and drew her sword. She felt that she needed to at least hurt the projection since she cant reach Herold.

After a few swings the projection is almost destroyed, Alexander stops her before she cuts his projection to pieces. He then looks at the flickering fat man as he wears a smug grin. "Heaven will send its army upon you if you harm the young man. You can be sure that nobody will help you." The smug face of the fat King Herold goes to anger as he shuts off his projection. "Don't do that again Lucy. We are the church, not the assassins of kings." Lucy just stays silent looking at the empty seat of Herold Marcus.

Alexander turns his attention back to the rest of the meeting, but before they could continue talking The Pope got messages from heaven via his powers. The NPC's get notified of changes through the church. The church uses magic to announce it to the world as instructed to. The players receive a system announcement world-wide, and don't have to wait for the church to spread the message. The announcement that the players got is very troubling for Herold Marcus.

[World-wide Announcement: King Herold Marcus the II has angered Arch-Angel Michael and The Almighty Father!! If the Kingdom of Zenith is destroyed by followers of the light and players in there faction there will be unique pieces of gear and high reputation bonuses! The one to kill King Herold Marcus will receive a Legacy class upgrade!]

The announcement rang throughout the world for the players still on. They were all visibly excited for the opportunity that this presents. The Kingdom of Zenith wont be accessible till level 50. You have to travel to your countries capital city to get your tier one class quest.

The Pope looks at Saintess Lucy with a very worried expression. They know what type of ramification there are for angering even lower Deity's and Gods. They have never heard of an Arch-Angel and the Almighty Father himself reacting this way. Gregory Francis is the first to ask what is happening. "You have just received a message from heaven didn't you..." Gregory knew how important this young man is to a lot of people and to higher beings. He feels sorry for Herold, not because he is his friend. Gregory knew Herold Marcus the I. They were good friends and he knows that the father would disown the son if he could after this event.

The Pope looks at Gregory and nods his head. "The Almighty Father and Arch-Angel Michael are bringing divine punishment upon Herold. Soon he will learn the consequences of his arrogant words and threats." Lucy is visibly happy that this has occurred. The church isn't aloud to wage war on humans, but now everyone will be interested in the fall of Herold Marcus.

The Pope notified the magical announcement department and they announced it immediately. It was safe to say that the people of Zenith City are shaken right now. Nobody liked the son who took his fathers place. It was left in his will that Herold the II take Herold the I place. The church has to respect the wills of Kings and Queens, they can only crown new Kings or Queens after the 8th ruler.

In the outside world the forums were blowing up. People and guilds were already coordinating attacks and strategies. They don't have much information to go on, but that isn't stopping them. Even the top 10 guilds are interested, but they know that is a long way down the road. It really sucks for people that didn't spawn in the country ruled by Herold Marcus. They will have to take care of there tier one quest in there capital city before they can join in on an assault of Zenith.

The night passed and morning soon came. Cera got up and went to the bathroom to clean up. Just because he is going to be doing a lot of gaming doesn't mean hygiene takes a back seat. As he is brushing his teeth he can see his young and unstressed face in the mirror. He was a tall 6'2 and has jet black hair with hazel eye. This is before he aged 10 years from stress. As he finishes up in the bathroom he goes downstairs for breakfast. The wilds will open in an hour or so, he wants to spend time with whoever is in the house.

Mom is in the kitchen and almost done making food. Dad has already left for work and the others aren't up yet. I guess that means I get to help mom. I enter the kitchen and greet the woman who gave me life. "Morning mom. Do you need any help?" She turns to me with a smile and points to the cupboard she cant reach.

I go over and open it. "Get me the syrup. I'm glad you got your fathers height and not mine." She says that as she chuckles. Dad is still a little taller than I am, but I know I am not done growing yet. I bring the syrup to her and place it down. I guess she is making pancakes this morning. Dad will be sad when he comes home from work today. Now it's time to have breakfast and then hop on Ancients World.
