Nytri slowly opens her eyes, she sees camp fire light but not camp fire. She blinks her eyes and sits up looking around her, "Where am I?"
The first creature's voice comes from Nytri's left, "You're up, that's good." Nytri turns to her left and sees the first creature, she shudders but doesn't move. The first creature is hovering looking in the distance with a satisfied expression, its face is unknown so its expression is same.
"This place sure is nice," The voice of the second creature with 4 faces speaks," No wonder you spoke highly of it." Nytri turns to her right to see the second creature. She restrains her urge to scream biting down on her lips, blood trickles down her mouth but turns to Mist when it leaves her body. The second 4 creature is sitting on the ground looking in the same direction as the first creature, except the second creature seems to have clothes but it's also its wings.
The first creature looks at the horizon as if watching something soothing, "Right, where were we?" Nytri looks in the direction the first creature is looking and sees a beautiful garden. Nytri rubs her eyes to make sure she's not dreaming. The first creature speaks, "Right, why did you come here?"
Nytri trembles yet forces herself to speak, "I….followed…af….seeing….you." she hugs her knees hoping to stop them from shaking.
The second creature chuckles, "Curiosity kills the feline." It taps its legs or knees laughing. Nytri looks at its knees or legs and looks down to its feet. She mumbles, "Those are hooves." The second creature looks at Nytri with a smile on all its 4 faces, "Do not be afraid, we won't harm you."
Nytri looks at the second creature unsure of which face to focus on, "…..Su~re…." Nytri glances at the 2 creatures, she looks down and her eyes glows.
[NOTICE: No threat detected.]
Anyone would sigh in relief but the creatures before Nytri puts her on edge. The 2 creatures seem to chat about work, going back and forth about their work. Nytri look at them then takes in a deep breath in and out to calm her nerves, "Who…..What are you?"
The second creature laughs, "Hahahaha," the 4 faces are teary from tears, it uses its wings to wipe the tears in one motion. "Who we are? We're …..let's say workers. As for what we are? How would you answer if I asked you what are you?"
Nytri squints her mouth, "I'm Nytri, Azurian, 14 years. Azurian is a warrior sub division race for human. That is my answer."
The second creature looks at Nytri with all its eyes wide, it laughs. "Hahahahaha, so funny." The creature taps its knees again in laughter, "Alright." It calms down, "I'd like to tell you my name but...It's too mouthful for Man to speak, I doubt you can even hear it if mention my name." The creature smiles on all 4 faces, "I'm a servant, my age is" Smiles wryly, "Older than the earth." Nytri squints her mouth and take it as is.
The first creature speaks, "I'm the same as my friend, a servant. My job is to bring people who die on earth here, everyone." Nytri tilts her head in awe looking at the first creature, then she realizes something.
The second creature speaks, "I'm an escort, I escort my Master wherever He goes."
Nytri looks around, "Is your Master dead?" The second creature chuckles, "No, I merely mistook Him for someone else and came here."
Nytri nods slowly, "Isn't that a slip up?" The second creature coughs and the first creature burst out laughing, Nytri is trying to find its mouth.
"HAHAH~AHA," The first creature laughs, "Mess up? He did! Big time!" The second creature blushes in embarrassment looking away, Nytri can't understand how it blushes.
Nytri speaks after the atmosphere calms, "I still don't understand." She looks at the first creature, "If this is your domain, why're you letting me trespass?"
The first creature shrugs, "I work here, I don't own the place. My job is to bring them here after they die."
"So," Nytri speaks, "There's someone to stop me from coming here?"
"No," The second creature speaks, "It's normally impossible to come here and leave. You're probably the first to do that but I'm certain the only one to pull this off."
Nytri nods her head, "How many of you are there?"
The first creature brings its wing forward to use the feathers for counting, "We were many about 1,000s of 1,000s of 1,000s. All doing various jobs, either over earth or by the Master." The wing flaps and a cool breeze blows over the place. The second 4 faced creature relaxes even more.
"You said you were many," Nytri speaks, "What do you mean by that?" She looks at the first creature.
The first creature shrugs, "I don't know much about it since I recently got my job. So, I wasn't there when the rebellion happened."
Nytri is surprised, "Rebellion?!" She's shocked, "From who?"
"The Creator," The second creature speaks, "The others rebelled against the Creator, they thought they could rule all of creation better. The multiverse, realms, dimensions, and mysteries."
Nytri shakes her head in disbelief, "Why did they rebel? Was the Creator bad?"
"No," the second creature speaks, "The Creator was never bad, He is incapable of imperfections." Nytri looks at it in confusion and the second creature speaks, "Whatever the Creator creates is perfect, even the most insignificant or abnormal thing to the greatest. To some extent, you could say The Creator can never make a mistake. Anything and everything He do is right because He does them and no one else."
Nytri nods and thinks of the Creator with awe, "So why did they rebel?"
"Because of you." The second creature speaks. Nytri points at herself in confusion, "Me?!" The second creature speaks, "Yes, but Man in general. The Creator created and made Man in a way that caused the rebellion."
"Why?" Nytri asks, "What's so special about Man that it can cause a rebellion that huge?"
The second creature looks at Nytri, "Because, the Creator created a creator. That is what Man is. To rule over the earth as the Creator rules beyond the earth."
Nytri is confused, "But Man doesn't rule the earth, monsters and beasts run rampant like some carnival…..What you said...What happened?" She looks at the second creature, the first creature vanish and appears again in a moment. But, the first creature is holding over 1,000s of people. The first creature puts the people down and they fall asleep on their feet, standing there for who knows how long.
The second creature looks over the horizon, "Let me tell you a story, a 6,000-year story."
[AU: INFO
AU: Uhhh, this next chapter is going to be a bit tough to write. So please bear with me. I think I'll write it in a different perspective as if watching from so corner somewhere. I'll just let myself go and see what happens.
