Cover to cover I read the mythology textbook, that had recently been named Before the beginning, as the title was eventually deciphered. However no matter how many times I read it, no clue to the locations of Primorials of the void could be gleaned.
However many other things became clear, like the origin of Trihexa, the supposed "Beast of the apocalypse".
Was explained by Before the Beginning, as was the Creation of ophis.
The Beast of the apocalypse was explained as the arrogance of a god, growing to unprecedented heights. The Primordial trio didn't like how the gods claimed to have created earth, while each did so in different ways they all had claimed to have done something the Primordial had done.
Those gods had desecrated the Primordial's legacy and as the rules of the world go, they had to pay.
The Primordials of the void were quite humble, as the book would have you know, as the third primordial of the void cast down her arm onto the planet, deep into the earth, and as her arm reformed a human was born, or at least an ancient human was born.
From the arm buried deep into the earth a sakura tree grew, but that was a different story.
The primordials had created humanity as it is today and had not reacted when the so called titan prometheus had claimed to do so from clay. if anything they seemed amused at the statement.
However once the Primordials achievements were questioned, they took action.
The Sakura gave her flesh to from the being's body, The Metal forged it a soul of gold, and Lightning struck it's heart, creating a being whose sole purpose was to squash arrogance and punish those who have done wrong. When the unnamed being was fully grown they passed the sages teachings, and love of family before asking if it felt ready.
It answer was yes, so they sent it into the mortal realm. Soon after it spoke to quite a few gods, even talking down a few, while others required more severe punishment, however each judgment was kind and deserving.
That is until one god decided it shouldn't be punished for it had done nothing wrong, this one god's punishment had it not done so would have been a simple scolding, or being forced to experience something call the "Sunset of YOUTH!" however the god rallied the beings oit created during it's reign and had them attack.
This would result in one of the bloodiest wars in history, before the supposed Best of the Apocalypse, was sealed in the gods final moments.
However the god was still punished, as when it stood their laughing over the seal as it had finally won the war and escaped punishment. however as it laughed lighting gathered over the sky, the earth rumbled with ferocity as the trees ripped them selves from the ground, and metallic demons crawled out from the void.
And they watched as for the first time in the history of this realm, A three pronged Kunai fell, and the god punished and the only thing seen was a series of, yellow flashes.
And after barely a night passed, a Demon claimed to have killed the god.
This however was not as impacting as Ophis's story as it was told.
Ophis was apparently the Primordials last creation, weaved together from the energy the Judges left rippling through the Dimensional gap, she was one of a kind.
She was a being of infinite shapes and power that almost reached a hundredth of the three Primordials. Her blank expression often giving the idea of an emotionless being when it was the exact opposite it wasn't that she didn't feel emotion it was that she felt too much emotion.
She felt so much emotion that any other being would have gone insane.
She was curious being, as she was raised by the Primordials, for her entire life, telling her not to go into the other realms without them.
However it had already been said she was a curious being.
She ventured out into the Human plain, and she met a fisherman, he wasn't anything special, he wasn't strong nor was he tall, however he was kind.
And that made him perfect for the young Dragon, as he was kind enough to answer any question she could ask to the best of his ability.
She visited him, everyday for the next fifty years, everyday he would sing her a song, no matter how many times she said he was to loud.
For fifty years, she was happy as could be, till the day he died in his little fishing shack his skin old and wrinkly but a smile on his face as he looked at the girl he had met so many years ago, exactly the way he had met her.
So she had called her patrons, and asked they revive him, tears falling down her usually passive face.
And so they took the man's soul, placing it in a body that could survive the treacherous environment that was the gap.
and upon his awakening he sang to the girl he had met so long ago and no matter how much she complained or asked someone to stop him.
She was happy to say she never got a moment of silence for the rest of her life.
Closing the book I stood up,It had been years since the book drifted from the Gap, and not mched had been changed.
The book's contents had been classified by every faction, only shown to the leaders, and higher ups.
Not even the family heads of the 32 pillars were told of it's existence. However they still had a report system setup shold one of the Primordials show themselves.
But they hadn't had any recent sightings and the last one was over two hundred years ago. Walking out of the room I went towards Rias's room, It was her birthday and I'm going to make it as good as possible.
NO FLAMES PUNY MORTALS
