" Would you like to tell them or I?"
The Guardian asked Dominic playfully. " I'd rather you had not told them at all."
He snapped back. " I suppose you want to know about my past?"
He asked his companions. Before they could respond, he continued. " I escape the guardian has already mentioned he who shall? Well, in Yggdrasil's early development of trying to create a fail safe of himself, aka, me, he found that all my prototypes died. They simply couldn't exist, they needed something. He found normal souls too weak to carry such a burden of carrying a copy of the universe inside them. Other than one......"
He trailed off, bowing his head shamefully. " To keep the soul separate though, he split it in half, I receiving one half and the Guardian receiving the other half. As you see, it worked."
~~~~~~~
" It's not necessary to do. I doubt either of you two could do it anyway. Besides that, my lord awaits."
He continued, landing on the top floor of the tower and striding deeper into the building.

"Hmm..." Leira followed right behind after letting go of Jaegar, very upset. Can't stand people like them... I never knew... but we were born on Carleon. Solstice made angelus... through genetic engineering. So, how?
~~~~~
"So... wait..." Serenade raised her brows, then jaw dropped. "The hell... why... I just..." She had too many questions floating through her head.
"So basically... I uh... what...? It's like Kala and I, when I was born..."

" In a way, yes. You could even say that Dominic and I are siblings."
The Guardian smiled.
~~~~~~~~
" This is all very good and all, but how did you know about us coming? Can your Lord travel between universes too?"
Jaegar asked. The Angelus looked back and glared at him, not answering his question.

"Yeah, that's what I want to know. Is he truly that omnipotent?" Leira asked as she tilted her head.
~~~~~
"Siblings? Really strange... so why? I mean... really? Is the universe... wait... are you that powerful Dom?" Serenade asked, a little dumbfounded.

" My powers are a strange thing to explain. In a sense I am all powerful, but I'm not. My power is restricted depending on the universe I'm in, and even in the Infinite Blue Yggdrasil restricts my power too. The closest place I can use the full extent of my powers is here in Sortori's pocket universe."
Dominic explained. " Sorry for mentioning your name."
He added, referring to The Guardian. ~~~~~~~~~
" I would like to say yes, but I would be lying. He receives visions."
The Angelus said.

"Sortori, huh?" Serenade asked as her ears flicked. "So, you can be incredibly strong... or incredibly weak. Or just plain ol' average, if you think about it. It just depends on the universe, correct? So, what is the purpose of all this? I mean, we are just here to close the rift... so why all this?"
~~~~~
"Visions, eh?" Leira stopped for a moment, then continued on. "Heh, it's not a common ability, but I still find it rather lame. Have you ever heard of defying fate?"

" It felt appropriate sense Sortori told you about Gyrarzi. Encase, I've never really told anyone about my past before....."
Dominic explained to Serenade, lowering his head in the process.
~~~~~~~
" Yes, and so has he, yet here you are."
The angelus said as they came to a large iron door. " Our lord is inside."

"Well... thank you for entrusting us with your past. I feel a tad special now!" Serenade giggled as she stood tall. "Right, so how about closing the stupid thing? Should we attempt the same thing?"
~~~~~
Leira pondered for a moment before speaking to Jaegar. "Come on. We may as well get this done and over with." She sighed before following the angelus inside. She appeared to be very bored, not caring for the aesthetic of the corridors and halls.

" T-Thank you."
Dante responded lowly, feeling guilty for some reason. " Yeah, like kick some ass!"
Dominic responded and slammed his fist into his palm. " Alright then, I'll open the portal to you, but remember what I said."
Sortori added, opening the portal to Gararzi. ~~~~~~~~
The large door opened and massive throne was revealed, at the far end was a single figure setting in a throne.

"Uh..." Serenade flushed. "Um... Can you refresh my memory?" She asked, feeling a little bit absent minded. "I just have too much on my mind... like my children."
~~~~~
Leira was not at all pleased with the sight, but nevertheless she stepped forward. She soon approached the figure, not at all paying any respects. "Yes? What do you want?" She asked.

" There's no mana in Gararzi. So be careful."
Sortori warned as she opened the gate that lead to the husk of the former universe. Dante put a hand on Serenade's shoulder. " I'm..... I'm worried about mine too."
He said with a choked up voice.
~~~~~~
" It comes down to what I can offer. What I want is for you to leave."
The older man smiled. His body seemed ancient but still seemed sturdy. It made Jaegar wonder how old the lord was.

"...What if I... no, we refuse?" Leira asked, glaring at him. "We need to close up the rift here. I'm not backing down from this."
~~~~~
Serenade frowned at Dante, having not realized that he had children, like she. She smiled a little, then grasped his hand. "Don't worry. I'm sure they will be okay in the end. That's why we got to stop the rifts, right?" She asked.

" Exactly!"
Dante grinned, squeezing her hand back. He walked forward and stepped through the gate. 'Kalas, please be safe' he said in his mind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" Feisty, but alas, nothing will happen. There will be peaceful resolution to this, Leira and Jaegar, I assure you that. If I can help you close the rift, then the sooner you leave, no?"
He asked whimsically.

Serenade smiled back and hopped through the gate, unsealing her wings, just in case, though it could be pointless from this point on due to the lack of mana.
~~~~~
"That is exactly the plan. What of it?" Leira asked, her eyebrows furrowed with suspicion. "Come on, what do you have up your sleeve. You have an exchange, so what is it?"

" Stay safe, Dom."
Sortori said before he stepped through. The trio walked forward onto a featureless desert of white sand that stretched on for miles. A low hanging sun sat on the horizon, plunging the world in half light and half dark. The world was neither warm nor cold. It simply was.
~~~~~~~
" Have you ever heard of the war that rained blood?"
He asked the duo.

"Gee, I know the war from a world that I never even heard of," Leira replied sarcastically as she folded her arms, feeling even more annoyed.
~~~~~
"Whoa... this... this is really frigged up," Serenade replied as she appeared to be mesmerized by the scene. "How are we even going to get anywhere in this desert?" Stepping forward, the woman heard a deep crunch under her feet. "Oh man, I'm getting the Heebie Jeebies."

" This is what happens when a world continues to exist without mana." Dominic explained, picking up a handful of sand and letting it fall through his fingers. He turned around to opposite of where the sun was. In the distance he saw the rift he was looking for, it was half engulfing the moon as it too sat lazily on the horizon. " I hate this world so much."
Dom cursed, crushing the sand in his fist. Dante looked at both directions before his eyes fell on his former enemy. " Dom, I'm....."
He began before his breath was carried away by the sheer magnitude of emptiness that surrounded them. ~~~~~~~~~~
" I never expected you to."
He chuckled, before standing up and walking down the steps of his throne. " Here you are, on another plane of existence, and yet you know nothing of it? Yet you are annoyed at me? Have you no respect for the lives of others?"
He asked Leira, smiling the whole time.

"!!!" Leira appeared to be alarmed, for she knew that he was attempting to guilt her. And it was working. "I... I... Look, I'm sorry, but your men have been acting harsh around my friend and I, especially my friend. I have all rights to act defensive. Why, what's the story anyway? Please, do try to guilt me further."
~~~~~
Serenade widened her eyebrows, wondering what Dante was going to say. Despite that, she shrugged. "It's okay to hate it, but if we want to leave this place, we best be hurrying. Even if it's through a place so freaky." Her tail flicked once. "However, I will admit that I feel pretty ill... and weak."

" You and me both."
Dante agreed, realizing that he couldn't feel his right arm. Dominic stood up and looked at the rift in the distance. " We better start walking then."
He added, before he started to walk.
~~~~~~~~
" It's better I show you."
He grinned, before the floor faded into what could only be described as pure emptiness. Endless sand, massive black craters, and seas of skeletons. " This...... This is what your kind has brought us."
The lord explained.

"...My kind? What the hell are you talking about...?" Leira asked, turning to the lord. "We never even touched your planet... let alone this rift! Are you truly blaming it on someone else?" She fumed, gripping her fists.
~~~~~
"Yeah... you're right..." Serenade sighed before following them. It seemed like forever, especially in Serenade's case. She wasn't used to being without her wings. Or teleportation abilities at this point. She remembered the last time she couldn't teleport. It was when she was almost fifty...
But that didn't matter.
She continued to stroll but second by second she grew more exhausted. Oh no... I'm getting weaker... It came to a point where she just fell onto her derriere, breathing heavily.
