The Legend Of The Fredclarlisis Dark Angel(3)....

Giving up was not even an option for Lord Icarus.

At first, things started off pretty well. But, as the cycle of life went on problems began croping up one after another. Though it was expected that living beings would face problems because of their life choices and Lord Alexuis was more than an expert in handling them still, things didn't turn out as the Trinity had expected. Because of this, Lord Alexuis had more than a few suspicions regarding the matter and it wasn't long before those suspicions started bugging Lord Marvolio as well.

It was during one such incident that both Lord Alexuis and Lord Marvolio felt that something was wrong ; something was acting behind the scene. The question was ' What '...

In the realm of Seantis....

" Thank you for your advice, Lord Marvolio. " Said Lord Alexuis. " If not for you, I really don't know what I would have done back then. "

" Not all all, Lord Alexuis. If anything, I'm only increasing your work load and slacking off myself. " Though Lord Marvolio's words sounded like joke, he was far from it. " However, I'm curious as to why was it necessary?? Lord Icarus had already established the constitution for the mortal world, then why were there so many misconducts??? And more so because none of these conducts fall under any of the creation's constitutions. "

" You're a simple soul, Lord Marvolio. " Lord Alexuis said with a self-deprecating smile. " That's why you're worrying about such a trivial thing. "

" Trivial?? " Lord Marvolio found himself asking and in a bit offendedly.

" Yes, it's trivial, my Lord!! It's trivial. Think about it, we have never given the creation the knowledge about following such a path, then how is it that the creation is time and again inclining towards it?? How are the living beings acquiring this kind of knowledge??? What or who is spreading such knowledge??? "

Lord Marvolio was left rather tongue-tied. Indeed, he was a simple soul. For he did not think so deep.

" So what now, we can't just let this keep going?? Especially, now that we already know about this. We can't let you fend it off all by yourself and we don't even know how long you can actually keep this. " Lord Marvolio was seriously at a loss. His brain was sending him red signals and he feared that if this keeps up than it won't be long before he would have to..... He was genuinely concerned for Lord Alexuis.

" I know what you're thinking, my Lord and I grateful for your concern. But, it's too early to think of the ultimatum at the moment. I suggest we speak with Lord Icarus first. He is the creator after all. " Though Lord Alexuis consoled Lord Marvolio light-heartedly, he himself was facing the same dilemma.

' How long will I actually be able keep things in check?? With each passing incidents, the degree of their crimes keep intensifying. I just hope you know what's happening Lord Icarus and why??? ' Lord Alexuis thought as he left for Zenith alongwith Lord Marvolio.

Unfortunately, they were in for a surprise and a one that they seriously wished they didn't receive.

Arriving at the realm of Zenith, the duo was immediately greeted by Lady Arika.

" Greetings, Lord Marvolio... Greetings, Lord Alexuis. Its my honour to welcome you both to the realm of Zenith. "

" The honour is ours to be greeted by you, Lady Arika. " Lord Alexuis said smoothingly as Lord Marvolio failed to utter even a word when greeted by Lady Arika. His mind was still stuck at there discussion back in the realm Seantis.

Oblivious about what was going on between the duo, Lady Arika feared that she how offended Lord Marvolio because of his lack of response. Lord Alexuis's smooth talking did easy things up but, Lady Arika's perception is what actually won over.

Lord Alexuis also gave Lady Arika hint to not worry about the formalities nor about offending either of them.

" You flatter me, Lord Alexuis but, you're not here to just exchange pleasantries, am I right?? " Lady Arika aimed her words towards Lord Marvolio.

Lord Marvolio : "...."

Taken back by Lady Arika's perception, Lord Marvolio finally snapped out.

" Was I really that obvious?? "

" Not really but, it is obvious that you make an effort to come and yet is lost in his own world does mean that something is wrong... Especially when you met someone for the first time... " Lord Alexuis said in a matter-of-fact tone, almost fed up with his lack of social skills.

" I'm sorry Lady Arika. My intention was never to dishonour you, I hope you can forgive me. " As stated by Lord Alexuis, Lord Marvolio was indeed a simple soul. His every action and reaction was exactly how he truly felt. He wasn't a double sided person. He pure and kind yet, knowledgeable and extremely skilled. His innocence had time and again caused deep troubles for Lord Alexuis, on the other hand, his skilled and knowledge was something Lord Alexuis deeply depended on.

" No please don't apologise, Lord Marvolio. If you find it fitting then you're most welcome to share your worries with me. I believe there *IS* something that's bothering you. " Lady Arika was well aware of these qualities of Lord Marvolio therefore, when Lord Alexuis said not to worry her instincts said otherwise.

Lord Marvolio failed to respond again.

Actually, just as Lord Marvolio was about to respond he forcefully held back his tongue because the words he was going to utter would've been regarding the ultimatum. But, remembering what Lord Alexuis had told him and thinking about Lord Icarus's feelings, zipping his lips was his best option.

Lord Alexuis knew what was going on with Lord Marvolio hence, he immediately stepped in before Lady Arika could suspect anything. " We are indeed in trouble and would like to hear your input in the matter but, before that it's important for us to see Lord Icarus. Can you take us to him?? "

" Lord Icarus, at the moment is busy creating the seventh sage... "

" No he can't!!! At least not now, seventh sage means the seventh universe. I don't think it's good to introduce another universe when the already ones existing are in a chaos. Lady Arika, we have to see him now!! "

Lord Alexuis's urgency said it all. Without further adieu Lady Arika, Lord Marvolio and Lord Alexuis rushed for Ocean Valley.
