Hey guys! I hope you liked that last chapter! Sorry, I didn't update last week. I completely forgot! I'll update again later this week, cause I owe you guys another chapter. And also this story isn't very good right now, but I know how this next arc if you will is going to go, and I have big plans for it. I hope you like this chapter!

"I see…" I trail off. "That means that they could be anywhere around the council right now."
We have to hurry, or else we won't make it in time!
"Deity, we need to hurry," I say, grabbing his arm and leaving the guild. "Where is the guild?"
Deity closes his eyes and opens them a moment later.
"They're almost at the council, they'll be there in about an hour," Deity says.
Dammit, we gotta hurry. Anyone in the building could be killed.
"Deity is there any way to transport us directly to the council building?" I ask, knowing he can open up a portal.
"I thought you'd never ask," Deity grins, opening a portal. He bows and says "after you."
I sigh and walk in.
When I get through, we're on top of the council building.
Good, this should give us enough time to warn the council members.
"Deity we need to get inside," I say, turning around, but Deity is nowhere to be found.
"Deity?" I call.
"I'm down here," Comes the reply from below.
I jump down from the roof, onto the balcony, and smack his shoulder.
"Ouch!" He complains. "What was that for?"
"Don't go disappearing without telling me first," I scold him, and walk through a door on the left.
I guess I walked in on an important conversation, because there's someone standing on a raised piece of stone, and everyone else sitting in their council chairs.
Deity follows me, and tries to ignore the council members now staring at us.
"Can we help you?" One of the council members asks.
"Yes actually," I say. "Are you aware of the guild Crimson Twilight?"
"Yes we are," Another council member answers. "Why?"
"I'm assuming you've heard the rumor that they're planning on overthrowing you," I say.
"Yes," A third member says. "Why?"
"Because I have located them, and they are headed here right now," Deity says.
The council members look at each other and start murmuring.
The member in the middle raises his voice and says "We can handle them if they are coming. But thank you for your concern. You may leave."
I consider this and they seem confident in their ability to fight back.
I bow and leave, taking Deity with me.
"Now what?" I ask. "They don't seem to believe us."
"I say we stay here and wait for Crimson Twilight to show up," Deity suggests.
"We could do that, but we might get in trouble for interfering," I say. "Plus, they're invisible, so they could attack from anywhere."
"I've got that covered," Deity smiles.
"Don't you ever run out of magic?" I ask, shaking my head. "You can't have enough magic to do this kind of stuff limitlessly."
"Nope, I can do it," Deity says.
"How?" I ask.
"Because, like light, my magic is limitless," Deity says. "You can't have a world without light."
"What about dark?" I ask.
"We don't need it," Deity says.
"Without the dark there is no light," I say.
"I guess," Deity shrugs, still smiling. Deity closes his eyes, and when he opens them again, he's serious.
"What is it?" I ask.
"Crimson Twilight is directly above us, right now," Deity says.
"WHAT?!" I exclaim. "We have to warn the council members."
I glance at Deity, and he looks confused.
"Is there more?" I ask, worried.
"How did they mess up my prediction?" Deity asks, out loud.
"What do you mean?" I ask.
"I predicted that they would get here in an hour, but it's been roughly ten minutes since then," Deity explained.
"Maybe they can teleport," I say, trying to focus on the task at hand. "Now come on, we have to go."
I jump back up onto the roof, and Deity follows me.
"Where are they?" I ask.
"Hold on," Deity says, closing his eyes again.
A moment later, I see a ripple in the distance.
There.
"Deity, can you give me a few throwing knives?" I ask, keeping my eyes on the spot where I saw the ripple.
Deity follows my gaze, and seems to understand my plan.
"Gladly," He says, grinning.
In a moment, he's holding at least twenty knives.
I grab on and try to get a good hold on it.
It's been awhile since I've done this, so I'm not sure if I can do it, but it's the only way to confirm where they are.
I take a deep breath and throw it. I seem to have skimmed the guild, because I hear something break and the knife drops.
I go to where the knife is, and there are bits of wood around it.
I guess they are there, but they'll be gone soon if they know they've been found.
"Deity what should we do?" I ask.
"Well, we can't sit here and do nothing, otherwise we're dead. We can't interfere with the council either," Deity shakes his head. "Why are you asking me in the first place? Aren't you supposed to be the one who does this?"
"Oh yeah. This is supposed to be my specialty," I remember.
Come on, think Crystal.
"I mean, all we can really do right now," I begin. "Is infiltrate the guild and hear their plans."
"I got it covered," Deity tries to open a portal, but it seems he can't.
"What's the matter?" I ask.
"I can't open the portal," He says. "Something or someone is blocking the entrance."
Suddenly, for the first time, Deity looks scared.
"Do you know who?" I ask. Maybe it's someone he knows.
"Yes, or at least, I have a hunch. And I hope I'm wrong about this," Deity says. "Back where I'm from, before I was given the responsibility to handle creation, there was someone else. He was the original creation."
I take a step back and everything hits me.
I feel like I'm in Deity's and The Unknown's past.
Everything is so vivid.
"Whats happening?" I ask, turning to Deity.
"Just watch," Deity says.
"What do you mean I'm not fit to be creation?" I hear from behind me.
I turn around, and I see two men.
One man seems to be someone of high power. He wears a white cloak and a full white outfit. He has a medal of some sort around his neck, but I can't depict it. His hair is pitch black, and is swept to the side.
The other man, seems to be of a lower status, but still in the government, so to speak. He seems to be furious about something. He wears something similar to Jura, but more formal and in white. He has no medal, but instead an insignia on his neck. His hair is light brown with dark streaks in it.
"It means exactly what it sounds like," The black haired man said. "We are passing on your place to another, Creation."
"Who would be fit to take my place. No one has power over creation," The first man, Creation, argues.
"There is one other, and he possesses both power over creation and destruction," The black haired man says. "He is more fit to be creation/destruction than you are."
"How?" Creation asks.
"You have completely negated the dark side of you and taken on both personalities," The black haired man states. "You will end up leaving the world unbalanced. This is not a safe position for you or the rest of the universe."
"Let me see this child that will be my successor!" Creation stormed.
The second man snaps his fingers, and a young boy is brought in.
This boy is dressing in full white, wearing a white cape of sorts. His hair is dark brown, swept to the side, just like the second man, but he wears it better.
With a jolt, I realize it's Deity.
I glance at Deity, and he's making a sour expression, like this isn't something he wants to watch.
I turn my attention back to Creation, Deity, and the man.
"This is the boy, Jackson? This is supposed to be my successor?" Creation scoffs.
"Yes he is, and he is more capable than you are," The first man, Jackson, says. "Show him."
Young Deity snaps his fingers, and suddenly the interior of the room they're in is more formally decorated.
Young Deity looks scared in the presence of his predecessor, and I can see why. After he did his little magic act, Creation looked enraged.
"As you can see, he's more than fit to be your successor," Jackson says. "Now you may leave, and do not try to come after this boy."
Creation glares at Young Deity, and storms out of the room.
The illusion fades, and I look at Deity.
I guess I didn't know him as well as I thought I did.
I look back up at where the guild should have been.
"So you think that this Creation guy is up there?" I ask.
"Yes, he's the only person who could have managed this," Deity says.
"Managed what?" I ask.
Deity looks at me and I can see the fear in his eyes.
"Managed to repel me," Deity says.
Oooooooo. What's gonna happen next time? I wonder…. Looks like we're gonna have to wait and see. Yea, I owe you guys another chapter, so it's not gonna be a very long wait. That ruins my fun, but yea. I have big plans for this arc, as I mentioned before. Anyways, I'll see you all next time! Bye!
