Hey people! I hope you enjoy the story! Aaaaand Sorry no Baam and co. in the First Chapter (^_^)
And those who like descriptions, Sry... I have intentionally avoided them since I wanted more and more character development and for that I needed to leave the whole chapter on the shoulders of my OC, in short more dialogues describing the situation. I hope you won't mind.
This is my first time so please bear with me. This is just a foundation chapter, so it might come out to be a little boring. I'm still an unripe fruit. (Kind of spiritualistic... No, I'm not. Duh...) [-_-]
Disclaimer – I am not the owner of Tower of God, SIU is! And he is amazingly awesome! He's the Best! (This is also the last time I am going to write this disclaimer! YAY! [*o*])
-In the palace of central wall -
"Hmm...What do you think? Eh?" said an average heighted man who appeared to be in his mid 20s with saffron coloured curls, a skinny but not too skinny stature with dancing chestnut-glossy eyes playfully pointed at the man who was his regular opponent of a game which fascinates no less than everyone, supposedly called 'Chess'.
"How many times have I told you that, that move...heck, this whole game is meaningless. *yawn~* I am going to win anyway, why go so far to get beaten in the end? Raka..." was a mildly bored reply from the tall, well-built, Raven head who appeared somewhere in his mid 30s with a calm look in his penetrating red eyes.
Raka said with a cheerful tone "Don't think of yourself as overly great and mighty just because you've won a couple of thousand games, you old, old fart. I swear in the name of all Axes in this entire universe, that I'll beat you!"
Roven cocked his eyebrow. "And when is that happening?"
There...Raka got stuck. He wished he had the answer though, so that he can die in peace. He decided let's say...hmmm... "I'll...I'll beat you this millennium for sure!"
A smile crept the older male's lips. His journey from 'I can beat you today!' to 'I'll beat you this millennium for sure!' was long but really... Heh... "oh...I hope that happens soon"
"Ho~...Beg for mercy!" His grin slowly degraded and suddenly there was utter seriousness in his tone. *makes a move* "When..." Roven flinched at the sudden change in Raka's tone. "When everyone's saying that Edo's tower is slipping out of your hands Roven...Why are not making any move. Just what's going in your mind?"
A slight and almost unnoticeable scowl appeared on the before, calm features. Ravon said "It WAS Edo's Tower, now it's mine." Raka narrowed his eyes; he thought the guy in front of him was AGAIN trying to change the topic. "That's what I should say but..."
Every corner of Roven's face showed annoyance and Raka was practically shouting in his head. He repeated in his head I didn't press any buttons to doom... did I? Roven's face calmed as did Raka's... Raka said "But?". *Roven made his move* Roven sighed and said "But that Bastard Edo never told me that it'll become a mess like this. He himself disappeared and placed my neck under the guillotine instead."
Raka chuckled and said "Why don't you just destroy it? The mess will end in one go. Edo established that tower to contain our problems anyway. When the root to all troubles is inside the tower, why don't we just barbecue him?!"
Ho-ho~ grudges, eh? "Well I assume that it's more likely you who might end up being barbecued by Phantaminum." A smug smile settled on Roven's face while Raka huffed annoyingly. Raka shouted "Like HELL he could! I'll kill him I swear!"
The two men were no ordinary men...Raka Reverno and Ravon Reverno, two of the five Reverno siblings. One of them is one of the 5 strongest Axes while the other used to be. Raka Reverno's position and status was trampled and taken away by the most well-known of the current top five. Phantaminum – 'The King of Illusions'
Roven silently mumbled "Checkmate..." Raka gave out an extremely disgruntled groan "Hell...Not again...You are such a beast!"
Roven replied straight away "Nope, not Beast. The God of beasts".
Raka rolled his eyes "Hmm...What is that scumbag doing in the tower anyway?"
Roven said "It's not like you need my answer, He's gone there just to cause me trouble, what else?"
Raka stared at him, amused. "So...you're trying to say that all those rumors are true? You knew Edo more than anyone. Is it true that he had a son with Rafisa? Rafisa was young but...a human? It's absurd! I know that, Edo was not any other human but still...Everyone has always thought that the tale of 'The child of God's decree' was just a slander..."
"Each and Every word of that manuscript is true. Edo had a chickling but I'm not so sure that he had it with Rafisa. I just know that everything that happened in the Central wall and the reason all of them disappeared and the Reason Rishva has left the council has got to do something with the 'Demon eye incident'. I'll just play the role to join them together." Ravon ended with a smirk.
"So..." Raka said "You're trying to say that Phantaminum has gone there on Rishva's order to hunt down the chickling. She's perhaps behind everything!" Raka said with a sense I-made-a-discovery in his tone.
Ravon chuckled "Phantaminum taking orders, joke of the century."
"Okay-okay. Not on her orders but to pay her for her help that she has provided him when he was a kid, you remember... the time Edo had started experimenting on him. Rishva was always a bitchy kind any way, making good use of people." Raka said.
Ravon sighed "Say that again and Rishva will kill you. Don't make fun of her; there are many things we don't know. A coin has two sides, mind you."
"Okay, fine. I won't but won't you agree that that if you get the chance you'll just kill that bitch?" Raka said with a Roguish face.
Roven said "Hmm...Agreed" Raka got into splits there.
Raka took a breath and leaned back on the chair. "Bitches helping scumbags, what an age it was." Hmm...But... An idea striked him"Even though it's like that, I don't think he's gone there for her reasons, you know that chuckling came into picture after a long time. But you know...I have a hunch that this whole mess has originated from him. Edo's chickling."
He indeed has a good head on his shoulders...of course... Ravon tested"... Let's see how good your perception is. Edo's son... What do you think he's like? Any guesses?"
Raka said confused "Hmm...Let's see. I have no idea, though I am sure about one thing that he must not have inherited anything of that creepy Bastard. Eccentricity and those crazy antics Edo had... Rafisa my sweet little suzy! Why...Why that old man?" Raka ended with a whine.
Idiot... The little respect... is gone now. Roven mumbled darkly "You yourself are an old man. Stupid..."
"Whatever!" Raka had gotten completely hyper by now. "But still! She was MY niece! Raka Reverno's niece! She's ought to have good taste!" Raka had always been praised for his talent in match-making; a pro's pride was hurt.
Ravon began to get bored of his whining and decided to comfort him. "But, Edo...Had a charm of his own don't you think?"
"Yeah Charm, just what you'd expect a creep to have." Raka said sarcastically.
Ravon tapped on his shoulder. "Oh C'mon~ not any man can steal two Reverno gems at once~" He tried to sound as 'Raka-like' as he could. Raka stared at him. Shit, I over-mimicked I guess. Don't start whining again. Please don't... I'll kill Phantaminum for you, just stop it or I might kill you.
"You..." Raka started seriously. "You are right I guess. Edo indeed had talent. He was a genius!" He tapped the table lightly. Ravon was delighted. Sold out. Oh Yeah... Raka continued "He was even able to replicate Axis field, he created the 'Antom field'. It helped us a lot during the last war... He wasn't bad looking either...hmm... Rafisa stole the man whom even our bandit queen wasn't able to get! That's my niece! Well, what is antom called in your tower?"
Ravon said "Hmm...Shinshu perhaps... The offspring of an eccentric genius and a 'Reverno' title holder... And he turned out to be completely like them. You know what that means?"
The saffron haired man said dramatically "The second name of turmoil... a cyclone chaotic enough to get two 'Kings' getting involved in one tale. Whatever that'll happen will be unprecedented."
Ravon sighed "The Perfect recipe to cause me sleep deprivation... Seriously I just wanna kill Edo, again... Another game?"
Raka chirped enthusiastically "Sure!" Ravon chuckled "Stories without the antagonist are not worth plotting anyway right?"
"Damn straight!" After placing the pieces back, Raka added "Especially if the hero's like me and the a-hole is Phantaminum, the ass-kicking will become fun!"
Ravon chuckled "Yeah, we shall see who kicks whose ass." Yeah, right.
It'd have been like 10 years since I last saw both of them... It had been 10 years since he had saved him from Phantaminum. Live your life a little more, Ta-...hmm... What do you call yourself these days?...hmm.. 'The 25th Baam'
