Daniel is laying down on the couch as he still can't get the fact that first flame is a lie
He jumps up as he walks to Sir Gideon right side
"I thought you were done with your question"
"Yeah, I am but one more"
"That contradicts your first word anyway let it rip" he seems almost tired
"what's seir"
"We don't know really we use it based on runes left by other species especially dragons they are masters of it"
"it's runic magic" asks a confused Daniel
"it is kind of"
the cruiser appears inside terra atmosphere as it slowly reaches the pad as it slowly descends and docks at the helipad as bots arrive from everywhere with them being attack bots as the cruisers back opens with Sir Gideon walking out raising his access card with Daniel following behind as he notices that they are on top of a massive spiral structure that being painted in gold
as Sir Gideon takes Daniel to a massive gate right next to a opening
He slides his access card across the scanner
they both step inside the gate with it being an elevator with see through glass, Gideon types a number across the keypad
Daniel while watching the see through glass, he spots an imperial parade
hundreds of men in armor that sucks the light out of the atmosphere with a sigil of skull and pure Blackstone blades at their hips standing at least 6 feet 8 massive behemoths of power with some of them casting shadows the size of building and ones who lack shadows while other give of an aura of pride he can feel it from miles away but what stuck him the most is the deep stench of ozone that he can smell it from here miles away and even looking at them makes his eyes hurt
Ding, in that the levator arrives to a floor that's deep underground with it being lit with candles at the walls and there being portraits of former great inquisitor, but he spots a young woman with disgruntled hair
Eliza as she says in a tone of authority and sonority
"Gideon, you owe me for this"
it doesn't matter know, but Daniel go inside your destiny waits for you"
Daniel doesn't say anything as he walks to the gate as it opens with a shudder
he slowly walks into the room with there being 4 people wearing robes so white you can't see their clothes or bodies on a massive desk with golden sigils with the rest of the room being in darkness as you can only see the 4 figures
"Daniel Martin grandson of the late great alexander the one who passed away in 120 ad during duty against the goblin raid in venous-45, state your purpose" it was a booming sound of authority and will
"I wish to an inquisitor, to protect my family, my people and UHE" stated Daniel holding his head high and proud
"Gideon violated the rules, he did his theology aptitude early and he barely passed his written" argued a hooded figure
"That doesn't mean he isnt the last person in 11cycles from outside the wracking family to have aptitude for monarch, so you know what they say variety is the best" stated a figure
another figure added
"He could were well break the curse"
for Daniel this was important as he believed in a world of lies and power, he would need to be theology user if he wanted to be of value before he wanted to become an inquisitor for the luxury life and power now it is to protect the one, he loves
outside Eliza and Gideon are arguing
"You are risking our jobs, lives and reputation for alexanders grandson" asked an enraged Eliza
"He is the reason your still alive, he saved you from the crucible mutation using that rune he has done that for us multiple times we owe to him to bring his grandson to the position his grandfather sat as a thank you that's the least we can do" Gideon was calm throughout the sentence despite how he felt
"You are going to get me in trouble, Gideon just because he had an aptitude for monarch and he was our teacher grandson doesn't mean you can bend the rules for him" stated Eliza she didn't hate Daniel but wasn't ready to get in trouble for him
"we're not going to get in trouble; we found a theology user for monarch that's not from wracking. they will make sure he becomes a theology user just to try to stop the curse of wracking from controlling all of theology of monarch due to not allowing other from outside wracking to become a monarch user" said Gideon in a calm voice
"This need for more monarch users from other house just cause monarch users became rare after emperor Leonis death causing the curse which does not allow for other monarch user who are not from the wracking line is so stupid it's not like there aren't any monarch users just not from other house's this sudden need it's just a plot by Augustus to weaken wracking and remove their status as the house that led anno dominus so they could be in full control, and I refuse to believe the council will not punish us for not following the lines, we didn't do something revolutionary just found monarch user who is not from wracking" Eliza was erupting in anger
during this a man had appeared in the back of them near the elevator
Gideon he was calm and quite awestruck
He turned Eliza head as she saw a man of tall stature but above the average height of 5 feet 11, she guessed he as 6 feet 3 he had golden hair, and his eyes were as black as Blackstone
he wore an imperial regalia of house Augustus with a cape flowing behind him and he didn't have a shadow as light bended around him
Gideon and her in a sudden movement went to their knees and bowed before him
he was Adrian Marcus Augustus
"Is it here where the council is found a new person who have the aptitude for monarch" he asked in a calm and sweet tone
"Yes, your radiance we have found a monarch user not from house wracking he is in a meeting with the council"
"Thank you," said the elegant voice
he slowly walked to the gate and opened it the council was in disbelief as they all bowed down to him
Daniel was clueless for few moments, but he understood who it was as he bowed down, he heard the emperor was a being with power close enough to be called the sun god he never believed that before the emperor was a god as he was part of the orthodox sect who believed that he was just the emperor unlike the unorthodox who believed that he was the angel of light but after his conversation with Gideon he grasped that both are lies created by house Augustus to consolidate their power
"What is the problem here, does the boy not want to become a theology user" asked the emperor in a submissive and kind voice
"no, my radiance it's just that he doesn't seem to be worthy" said the council in a unison
"we have been dealing with a curse that has stopped other others from becoming a monarch user if he can solve it let him, we will be just wasting a crucible it's not that bad why don't we try it"
"Your word is our work, your radiance"
he looks at Daniel with his calm and quiet eyes
"Meet me at my castle you shall do great things for humanity"
he gives of a smile as the room is flash banged as Daniel looks for him, but he disappeared
the emperor of humanity wants to see him, a being so powerful he could be considered a god thought he is special
