The Explanation
Several hours had passed since the implosion, major new corporations had fled to the scene to document the site. Some companies came from the city of Gemini while others were from Zten, Kyorax , and more. The city of Masakura had quarantined tram alpha and began to redirect traffic to either tram beta or omega.
"This is Sikuru Kabato with Masakura city news, an implosion of some sort rattled the community of siphon 17. Authorities have closed the rails for further transportation. As you can see from MP Sub 5, the massive hole has flooded Tram Alpha leading to Maskura. The tram rails have been deemed vitrified. Information on detours , citizens of siphon 17 will be directed to either siphon 18 or 16. Taking tram beta or omega in order to gain access to Masakura. This all the information prior to my knowledge. This is Sikuru Kabato reporting out."
Deep below the dome of Masakura dome laid the Grand Voyeur , an underwater canyon like the Mariana Trench but twice as large. In the abyss was a small hole that lead to a small cave entrance. The cave itself was vast , resembling the size of a ball room. Both stalagmite and stalactites covered the floor and ceiling. Among the floor pools of shallow water. Covering one of pools was a body of a teenage girl. A dark cloud grasping the body with its might. The cavern started to light up but to a faint hue. Slowly the dark cloud began to back away from the body. At first the cloud regurgitated a black dress shoe. Then two pairs of pale legs began to appear next. next the a navy blue skirt was torn from the left side, following the dark cloud finally released its very grip on her face. Her face was pale but her innocent face was still there. Her white hair was down to her thighs Her arms laid on the on the side with the hand interlocking with each other. Suddenly with a thump from the inside, her eyes quickly open and she laid up right to her breath. Hyperventilating she loosened her tie to help regain her breathing. The hair dripping wet to her damp clothes. Looking around she could barely make out what was in front of her. Making her eyes sight down her chest she noticed that the necklace was slowly floating. The necklace began to pull toward the end of the cave.
"What the-" Aria resisted
Then the necklace learned toward the end of the cave with a forceful tug.
"Alright fine then" Aria finally copped
Stepping up to her gain her balance, she slowly walked with the necklace. Walking through the cave, she could see the entrance which led to a smaller drawings that resembled caveman before the civilization take over Aatronax. While Aria was traveling with the necklace she crossed a mural in which depicted a goddess. The goddess had waves emitting out from her hands pushing down on what to be humans. As she continue to study the mural a dark figure behind her just a few yards.
"Ahh so I seems that you have interested in your ancestor Arayu?" greeted the figure
Aria quickly turned around in fear to face the figure. She then grabbed the necklace with her fist and held it like a weapon."Who are you and Where am I!?" She yelled.
"Hush little one I know you have many questions that need to be answered" said the figure.
In a quick succession Aria dashed to the figure and shoved the necklace to the figures throat. Her piercing eyes both green & blue eyes bloodshot with fear.
"I SAID WHERE AM I AND WHO ARE YOU!" Aria demanded
"Alright Alright let me take you to my living quarters"
Aria slowly was catching up to the figures movement and also looked at the creatures detail. The figure slowly came out of the shadows. the figure had 4 legs much of that as a horse but the body of a human. He was about 7 feet tall from his hooves to the top of his hair. His armor had a dark blue tint with white accents. Taking off his helmet the figure said.
"Let me introduce myself my'lady. I am Master Rorvven"
" Wait why did you call me "My Lady" Aria asked in disarray.
"Well you see your ancestor was my Queen and I am or "was" one of her appointed guardians." responded Rorvven.
"Wait who is this queen and what does it have to do with me?"
"Arayu was the water Goddess who ruled thousand years ago on the planet you called Aatronnax before it was called Radiance. When Arayu and her people both lived in harmony she protected her people,l the people flourished and cultivated the land. the one for follower by the name of Draxten decided the ways of Arayu was not for him. Thus he gathered followers of the weak who also decided to part ways with Arayu. Arayu then questioned them to why the people rebelled against her people, they simply replied they want to be a gods themselves. the people began to plunder towns, steal, lie and take down monuments of Arayu. Arayu in her temple consulted her counsel. Which was made of up myself and 17 other guardians all of which to agree and to eradicate this sin."
A pool right next to both Aria and Rorrven appeared. There a vision showed a beautiful female figure covered in white robes. Her white hair and innocent face had a striking resemblance to Aria.
" Listen my fellow guardians" said the Goddess
"These times have been greatly in dire, This world has been corrupted the evil in this world may seem way too much, but I feel this one process will help rid the evil and let the pure live on. I plan to use my powers to create an event that will turn the land in the world to water. thus it will create a cycle for that the evil will eradicated."
" My Lady, do you even have the power necessary to do so?" exclaimed Master Ra
"Yes I am Goddess aren't I? I shall create a symbol signifying my trust in the world, I shall create a ray in which in the sky shall project a bow of multiple colors." replied Arayu.
"Even though I posses the manipulation of water, this process will use my powers that I have not shown anyone before. It will destroy my body and yourselves as well. The people who remained in me shall not perish in this world they will be with my as my followers in the kingdom faithful guardians do I make myself clear? To everyone you are my faithful and most loyal servants. Now once I start the process. The people will know they will come stop me. My Guardians I ask you to hold down the gates for that the people will be notified of what I am doing and they will stop at nothing to come stop me. Once the process is complete, You will all follow me up into the heavens where we will watch the new world unfold."
"But why aren't you in the heavens?" questioned Aria.
"I asked Arayu for her permission to stay behind and look for Arayu's next descendant"
"Wait Arayu is my ancestor?"
"Precisely Miss Zastalya. Her direct line of blood runs through and into you. You have the same appearance and also same heart at my queen. That is why that necklace is floating and pointing towards me. it is a marker that I set in that little space that you hold your cloths in.
"Hold up, Hold up one minute"
"Hold what up my'lady?"
"First off it is called a "drawer" and second this so called water goddess "Arayu" is my ancestor and you are her guardian?"
"That is correct young miss."
"Then explain how I came to this cave?"
"Do you remember anything before you awakened?"
"Yes a little bit"
Aria's mind flash backed to the distraught memories of drowning.
"Well I do remember seeing Mayura going und-AAAAAAAAAH" Aria suddenly collapsing to the ground. Her hands over her ears squeezing with immense pressure. Her body then fell to her side shaking uncontrollably. Her eyes began to look shot, coughing up bits of blood from her mouth.
"Oh dear, this isn't what Arayu promised" muttered Rorrven picking up Aria with her body still trembling. Walking back to his abode. Looking into his home he passed a sarcophagus signifying his place of slumber. Next he began to move into the next room. Very subtle there was a fountain in the middle surrounded by six pillars. Arriving at the fountain he placed Aria into the fountain. A dark cloud then began exit her body. Slowly she began to regain consciousness. Opening her eyes she could tell she was underwater. Though her reaction was non existent. She took a mouth full of water. She felt nothing. Her lungs expanded just as if she was breathing air. Rising up from the fountain, she took a step down from the fountain. then she took her other foot and slowly began to walk to Rorrven with her clothes appearing to be dry.
"Please answer my question" asked Aria.
"I will do to the best of my ability" replied Rorrven.
"First how did I get here and how am I able to breath water?"
" To your first question, that necklace you see right there it is a safety device that I placed in. For whenever you lose consciousness or death occurs. The power of your ancestor will bring you back to this temple.
"You drowned my'lady, but the seal of Arayu has prevented you from being erased from this world."
"Are you saying that I am immortal?"
"Not precise"
"I would suggest not trying death again."
"..." silently Aria.
" Oh and the 2nd question, Like I said you are Arayu's descendant. She is a water goddess , she can manipulate water to her will, she can breathe underwater. Even control the blood circulation in peoples veins."
"Why me though, why couldn't it be some other descendant of Arayu."
"Ahh for there is a great evil in the world miss Zastalya." said Rorrven.
"This evil once battled Arayu and I fear that the evil has came back to get revenge on Araryu to eliminate any existence of Arayu. I believe it has gotten stronger with since he vanished and Arayu went to the heavens I believe that my queen is still inside you. You possess her powers I believe you can take over this evil."
"But what evil is there?!" questioned Aria
"The world that we live in is fine no crime no misfortune has committed in Masakura"
"Maybe not in Masakura but other cities my lady such as the one so called city "Gemini".
"That meer incident at the tram station was made to look like accident but in reality it was intentional. You see the government you so trusted had eyes on you and your friends location. Prior to that night a group of insurgents rigged the track with a set of detonations. The detonations in which was rigged to explode and drown you and Mayura. They wanted to eliminate all threats for their new goal."
"Wait what happened to Maruya the last thing I heard was her screaming horrifically and I couldn't do anything. Aria teared suddenly.
"There There young one I know the times are tough right now. But I had to save her first. Though for you know the necklace was already on your body so I had to no worries of your survival."
"You have Mayura? Take her to me now!"
"As you wish my lady"
Rorrven then proceed to walk to the next chamber with Aria right next to him. His four hooves stepping with force. While walking to the cave, she saw more murals of Arayu. Murals of how Arayu was there to help her people with miracles. Right to the left of Aria was row of chest all belonging to a name. Then she went to look at the last chest. Slowly rubbing her hand across the plaque it faintly read" Aria Violette Zastalya".
"It's me." said Aria
"Yes my'lady Your ancestor had placed a special item in place so that when the time comes the power of Arayu will unlock the chest. So that it will help you on your journey. Aria closely examined the side of chest. It depicted 3 figures a child in the middle holding hands with its parents.
"Whoa she even knew that it was Mom and Dad." said Aria.
"My lady, Come here will you. Mayura is waiting for you
.
Aria quickly rose up and walked to the entrance . Then the body of Mayura began to appear in Aria's sight. Mayura was laying in a pool with the water glowing with a faint blue hue. there she laid even with the water's surface. Little lights were coming into the pool and entering her body. her outfit was the same as before.
"Mayura!" screamed Aria.
Though she screamed for her friends name, Mayura did not respond...
