Chapter X - Elucidation
Everyday I feel alone.
Nobody sees my presence as significant. People who knew my curse avoid me. I sacrificed my emotions for the sake of the world.
I cannot fear. I cannot be hurt. I cannot feel physical pain. I can only anguish.
This is the curse of an immortal. A curse that can never change. A curse never broken. A curse that cannot be lifted.
This is my fate.
I am Seighart.
(Sei POV)
1000 years ago.
The Highlanders gave me immortality when he was about to die. They told me to become the guardian of the balance in the world. The balance though, wasn't in anyway, threatened back then. I was confused why they gave me this curse before. Now I knew why.
900 years ago.
The God's of Xenia emerged. The Highlanders told me to keep an eye on them. There were 6 Gods in total. They weren't as powerful as they are now.
500 years ago.
Darkness started to spread. I was given the mission to find out the cause of it. One name suddenly pops out. Kaze'aze.
400 years ago.
The darkness of Kaze'aze was stopped by the Grand Chase. Even with the defeat of Kaze'aze, darkness still grew. This time, they knew of the rampaging Gods.
398 years ago.
Thanatos, the God of Domination, was confronted by the Grand Chase.
Elesis rampaged against the monsters along the way. I was in front of the group with Elesis beside me. They knew about my curse so they let me lead the way.
This was the last portal. Behind this.... is him.
It was a very tough battle.... In the end, we did lose. The only good thing that happened was.... the seal.
I knew Amy had something inside her that could defeat the God. Although... it came at a great cost. Lives.
Amy saw each of her friends- the Grand Chase- die in front of her. She cried full force when we were the only ones left. I had no choice. I released the seal on her.
Amy stood up. Her body began glowing. 8 orbs of light circled around her. I forced a part of my soul. Love. The primary component needed for the seal.
Zen had told me that Amy, was indeed, a demigod. Demigods have powers equal to that of Gods but they do not have immortality. Zen sealed off Amy's demigod powers for future use-- like now.
Amy glanced at me, a sad smile present in her face. "Thank you."
I closed my eyes. I felt Zen's presence in my back. I could feel myself getting dragged to a portal by a gigantic hand.
350 years ago.
This time, Zen and I was sure that the darkness was minimized greatly.
300 years ago.
The thing called "technology" coursed it's way to the world. The three continents, Bermesiah, Ellia, and Silver Land welcomed people to continue living there.
200 years ago.
I checked the seal on Thanatos. You ask me why? It's because.... I kept on feeling his presence.
100 years ago.
Technology went on full force. I know I was one of the pioneers of this technology, but people keep on finding things that I myself didn't think about. Eheh. The power of humans.
50 years ago.
His presence was getting stronger.... the seal was already 300 years old. I asked Zen for the reincarnation of the entire Grand Chase. Zen agreed to my idea.
My soul was starting to recover what it lost hundreds of years ago.
20 years ago.
I found Mari's lost soul. I also asked for her reincarnation. The Grand Chase were reincarnated one by one.
1 year ago.
Thanatos was released. I don't know exactly where he is. He hid his presence very skillfully. I could, pretty much, feel him... but that's all about it. I can't distinguish him in a crowd, even if he's so close to me.
Present.
Four of the Grand Chase reincarnates are confirmed. Ryan, Jin, Mari and Amy.
I explained all of these to the four when I came back with Amy to our camp.
Amy kept on crying.... I couldn't blame her. My resolve was to protect her and the rest of the Grand Chase all the way. I don't want to see them suffer the same fate 400 years ago.
