"Oh, Trion… The Jewel in an Ocean ofStars, how you glow…
"Oh, Trion… You only need to get close to smell the rot hidden behind the glory…
"Oh, Trion… you are a monument built on the dead, and their ghosts haunt your every moment…
"Oh, Trion… your glory walks hand in hand with your doom, and you shall take us all with you…"
"Oh, Trion… How can….
"That is a stupid poem, and you also know that it is forbidden, Father."
An exasperated sigh from a white-haired girl sounded in the void of space, carried by wispy strands of Aether that resembled spider webs.
"Hahaha, I know that there is no apparent rhythm, but its strong word choices and clear message make it a powerful one. Doesn't that make it exciting, em… child."
A white-haired man replied to the girl with a smile in his tone,it was Telmus and he was standing on the back of a Bone Dragon more than seven miles long, beside him was his daughter.
She frowned at his words, "Why do you always do that?"
"Do what?" Telmus replied in feigned surprise.
"Make it awkward anytime you speak to me. You were the one who refused to give me a name!" The girl shot back.
Telmus' hand moved so fast it was impossible to detect the motion of his limb as he appeared not to have made any move at all. He smacked her on the head and she yelped, he began speaking in a lecturing tone that he knew she hated,
"A name has great power, child, of a sort that you cannot fully comprehend. This is the greatest truth I shall ever tell you, and that is, I wish I had not been given mine before I had the opportunity to choose for myself..m before I had the opportunity to earn it for myself. I am giving you a valuable chance and it is up to you to seize it. You should be on your knees every day thanking me child for my unmatched wisdom, for you are the only Child of Trion without its name… you are free."
She rubbed her head in annoyance, after all this time she had not been able to dodge a single one of his blows, even those he used without any shred of power behind it.
How could she ever catch up to this man?
She could not hope to understand his power or the depths of his wisdom and even though she acknowledged what he said as truth in her heart, she refused to allow it to show on the outside, it would only feed his overly gigantic ego.
Telmus did not wait for her to finish sulking before he continued speaking,
"We are here to celebrate with your mother's Ascension child, she is now an Earth god, took far more time than she needed to, but at least she would not fade in the next few millennia."
She counterattacked the only way she could, with the only weakness she knew he had—His wife.
The white-haired girl rolled her eyes and replied to his words,
"Shame on you father for your weak moral grounds. Mother has been an Earth god for two years now, and this is just a formality that you have ignored for too long. Do not pretend we are doing it for her, this is all for you!"
Telmus sputtered in anger, "What do you mean by such preposterous words child?"
"What do I mean by my words? Did you bring the required gifts, Father?" The white hair girl looked at her father with a piercing gaze that made him cough and look away.
"Of course, I did not forget the gift, what do you think I am?"
"If so, then show it to me, let me make sure it is what she likes. Don't tell me the time spent in Booze Planet was just for you to waste on expensive drinks and not to brew the greatest wine in the entire universe as you promised her?"
Telmus coughed and pretended to be fishing inside his Spatial Ring for the present when the area ahead of them began to twist and space neatly parted.
From the tear in space, a loud cry erupted that was piercing and carried an intense Aura of heat and destruction that made the surrounding area for thousands of miles heat up.
A gigantic Phoenix that was thousands of miles in size emerged from the opening and on her two large wings were two suns, one was white while the other was red.
The presence of this Phoenix was extremely palpable, and the stars in the distance began to emit nine-colored lights as if in obeisance to its presence.
The eyes of the Phoenix slowly opened, and it was filled with pride, she had double pupils and they were purple and her heated gaze swept throughout the entire area.
She was about to open her beak again to cry out, announcing her presence to the universe when she caught sight of Telmus in the distance who was looking at her with a mild form of annoyance.
The Phoenix snorted in disdain inside her heart and was about to cry out but she couldn't, her body refused to obey her will!
Her heart became filled with panic as her wide-opened wings began to return to her side without her acknowledgment, and soon her body stopped all motion, and she hung in space, and to her shock and intense dread, her head bowed down and her heart worshiped the figure who slowly passed by.
The Bone Dragon that was being ridden by Telmus began to laugh as it carried its head higher as it passed the shivering Phoenix.
Until Telmus disappeared in the distance before the phoenix could regain control of her body and even then she could not move for a while until a soothing voice entered her heart.
The voice came from a golden palace that was situated on the crown of her head, inside this golden palace were thousands of flaming statues, all of them emitted fluctuations similar to those of a Minor god and one man sat on a throne made from nine colored flames with his eyes closed.
His long red hair was reaching his waist and when he opened his eyes, it was filled with nine colored light, similar to what all the stars for billions of miles were emitting as his presence transformed reality itself.
It was this man who spoke.
"Do not allow your Spirit to break after coming in the presence of that freak, it's only natural Skylar, the time for me to reveal my accomplishment is coming, and I will make him bow down to you for the disrespect he has shown me today."
