Lucifer's Savior
By: eth_real
In an era where the sun's fuel has already been burned out, leaving the mysterious illumination of the moon, two worlds thrive: the city of Lumen and the city of Ascerbus. Both are locked in furious competition, both with different views of the future. Two neutral oracles are existent. Jazriel subsides in the bright northern temple where the ruler of Lumen visits, while Benokh is the opposite who subsides in the dark southern temple answering to the ruler of Ascerbus. They meet once a decade to contribute their knowledge acquired, for each have different abilities. Jazriel has the gift of foresight while Benokh has the gift of wisdom.
The eastern half of the world is occupied by the city of Lumen. Ah, wondrous Lumen. Their city is bright with the moon always above them, for the world has stopped its orbit long since the sun was burnt out. The heart of the city was the palace built in luminescent white marble with its spiraling spires and grand archways. The glass windows were cracked methodically to create a crystal effect to strewn on the floor. Outside, cherry blossom trees frozen in full bloom, for seasons do not exist anymore. Roses of pale pink give off a light perfume, a delight to anyone's noses. A stream of water trickle melodiously down white-washed stones, covered a bridge carved with intricate designs of fleur-de-lis in its railing. Not only did this beauty and tranquility occur within the palace walls, it also continued in the city itself. With its people enjoying the peace and prosperity of Lumen, they rejoice everyday outside. They live in petite houses made of white granite, smoke coming out of the pipes signaling life. The woman looked upon all this, smiling softly to herself. Then lifted her eyes and looked further.
Ascerbus is the western half of the world with its pain and corruption emanating from its city. The lord himself resides in his dark foreboding fortress. Fire is the only illumination for guidance. No, there is beauty here also. Hard beauty. It is found in many people with their perfect visages, but thoughts of evil toil in their minds. Wealth is also abundant in this city. Jewels from bloody rubies to the purest sapphires are many for they go through great lengths to acquire these precious gems. The fortress houses the lord dictating Ascerbus, his powerful body currently looming before a large table. Another man is with him, pacing the room with large strides. Endymion looks up from the table of maps and faces the man pacing, who stops abruptly. "We will meet the ruler of Lumen in 15 hours," then grins slowly, "and give him the surprise of his life."
