Chapter 36 - Dream 2

Zena was frozen the information was confusing. It was something that she shouldn't be learning and yet she was. She wanted to think, but her mind didn't let her. 

"The True World did something it should have been able to. It shifted the domains of the titans to the gods. It was an incomplete process as the True World was overwhelmed by the power and it lost control half way through. This caused many things to happen. First the True World fell into a slumber. Second, the essence of the titans was spit into three parts. One part sent to the gods. The second part went to the humans. The third part went to something I can't tell you about.

The second part it why we exist. We are not fully human. You should have seen it. The ability to see things that most shouldn't. Like those memories you posses. You can see the enchants. You will gain more abilities like this in the future too. Some will be strong some will be weak or might not seem useful, but they all have a reason. 

But we are only one half. The half of Delusion. When one of us is born another will be born along with us. This one will be the half of Reality. They typically have the same starting ability to see somethings like those enchants, we split from there though."

Zena's mind went to one person, Anderson. 'He must be the half of Reality.'

The man muttered something under his breath will Zena thought, "Unless you consider that, but that's more of an innate thing."

The two orbs of fire spilt again. Now Seven orbs flouted in the air. The orbs could no longer be considered fire. each one was different. The first one was as bright as a star. The second was as dark as shadows. The third was bloody and dripping. The forth was calm, almost too calm. The fifth was stormy, flashing so often. The sixth one was chaotic. It had gears, steam, energy, nature. It was contradictory. Then the last one, the seventh one. Zena looked at it, but there was nothing or rather she could not remember what she was looking at. It like a fading dream.

"The True World did succeed in its main goal. It did fuse the essences of the titans with the essences of the gods."

The orbs split into two rows. The row was the shadowy orb, the calming orb, and the stormy orb. The second row was the bloody orb, the bright orb, and the chaotic orb The seventh, dreamy orb was positioned in between the two rows.

"The Shadow god, Heart god, and Storm god gained the essence of Reality. While the Beast god, Sun god, and War god gained the essence of Delusion. Then the seventh one. The seventh one gained both of the essences. This at first didn't cause any problems. If anything the seventh one remain same, unlike the other six. The gods that got Reality's essence all became gods who wanted isolation and calmness. The gods that got Delusion's essence all became gods who wanted change, conflict, and many more things.

It wasn't until the second war of the gods that the world had another shift. The second war was between the seven gods and the beings of the unknown. Talking about the unknown is technically forbidden because it can cause corruption to those weak enough. So I won't cover them.

Anyway, the war ended with the god's victory. In this war, the absolute law of death and the absolute law of imperfection were created by the gods. Though the law of death is weaker than imperfection due to Shadow making death and all seven making imperfection. However, these laws did not let them win. It only gave them an advantage as they already had flaws.

During the war the seventh god finally felt the affects of the two essences. It was pulling the seventh god apart. It shattered the seventh god in most aspects. This mad him go mad. The seven god retained some of its sanity though. However, in the final battle the other six gods saw the changes to the seventh. They worried, they feared. They knew the seventh god was the strongest as it could control both sides, reality and delusion. So, fearing the total madness of the seventh they sacrificed him. Sealing away not only the unknown, but also the seventh god along with it.

This left an imbalance in the world which caused the human's essence to start to act. The two essences started to pile up over time. Once it reach the maximum strength for the humans to handle, we are made. Humans of Delusion and Humans of Reality.

Honestly I thought I was going to be the last Human of Reality. We suffered much more than most would ever thanks to this as the True World natural wants stronger champions for our two essences. So it puts us in much deadlier situations. Hell that's why I'm here in The Abyss.

I was transported here by one of my former allies. If I get out of here I am killing him.

Anyway, your life is going to be hard. Its going to be painful. You will be hurt in ways you didn't even think possible. Hell the only reason you are here is because you have awakened you innate bloodline as a Human of Reality. When you wake up you will be hurt. You should have died from the pain actually. That caused the threshold to be reached sending you here.

So I will leave you with a gift, from senior to junior. This will help you much more than it will help me."

With his final words the seven flames formed runes.

'Worlds apart'

'Times flow'

'Reality shifts'

'Delusion raises'

'Rules break'

'Nature cycles'

'Going forever'

As the final line formed the man placed a wooden book in the air.

The runes shifted, melting together. They spiraled. It was bright yet so dark. The wood changed. It was turning into an actual book. The outer layer of wood dripped off. Revealing the cover.

'Bestiary of the Hunter' 

The dream ended as the spell announced.
