3x3 Eyes: Shadow under the Moon
Chapter I: Awakening
* * *
There was a great rumble that spread across the land of the Divine, loud enough to "wake the dead." You could have considered him dead, he had been asleep that long. A spell like the one that had been put on him was strong, even when cast by a weak or inexperienced demon. The caster was neither. And the victim hated him all the more for it.
But it seemed like his revenge had been taken care of by someone else–that being signified by the rumbling destruction of the great temple that served as housing for the ruler and his family. The demon watched as the temple fell to ruin, and watched as many different things happened at once. First, a snake slithered through the sky. If the watcher had been closer, he would have recognized the snake as Howasho, one of Benaris's demon lackeys. But as it was, he thought it was only a lowly demon snake.
Next, three figures came out, one carrying a fourth. He was too far away to tell if the figures were male or female, but one thing was certain. Whoever they were, they had taken out the most powerful being on Kun-Lun: Kaiyanwang, ruler of the Sanjiyan Unkara. And because the Sanjiyan died, the Wu did as well.
Benaris's spell over me was brokenbecause someone managed to defeat Kaiyanwang–for good, he thought. Now that he had observed the present situation, he turned his attention away from the temple and to the surrounding Holy Land. All over the once-fertile land were spires of dirt and stone. The watcher wasn't stupid, he knew the spires were really graves. The taller the spire, the more important the Sanjiyan buried next to it was. He was amazed that such a powerful race could have been defeated by one civil war, by one corrupt ruler. And yet the human race had survived numerous wars and corrupt rulers and other dangers! How different the two races were.
We had all the power, the power of immortality, of eternal youth, and yet we fell, the watcher mused. He knew he would be among the deceased if not for Benaris's spell. He would have been honored with a very tall spire, if any. With a standing as complicated as his was, it was impossible to tell. It depended on the person who buried him. Best not to dwell on the past, though, he thought despairingly. The only thing left to do is to go to the human world, seek a fitting Wu, and find whoever defeated Benaris and Kaiyanwang.
With that final thought, he left for the nearest portal to the human world. Who knew what he would find there?
