Arc 2 Chapter 160 Dreams And Destiny

Dark hair, grayish skin and white eyes. One would call her pale, but she still seemed full of life. This was Nyx and she was currently intensely watching Ragnar train. She could tell with each passing second that they were getting closer and closer to the final stage of a sixth dimensional being. Around the 30 layer beings no longer grow through training. They will reach the last block, other than the final coffin. Only through harnessing ones element and honing their control through the tides of time can they improve.

"It will be your turn soon Cronus!" Nyx said to herself. Nothing was there other than Ragnar who failed to hear her words.

Time went by and Ragnar fought more and more. Until one day he hit a wall. No matter how much he trained he couldn't get stronger. He felt imprisoned, like the realm was holding him back. It was a uncomfortable feeling that nudged at him silently. He didn't wish to tell Nyx about it, because he saw it as his own fault but she could tell, so in the middle of training everything stopped. The Night vermin no longer attacked Ragnar and neither did he. They starred at each other waiting for Nyx to step forward.

"Ragnar your training is over, you may leave!" Nyx said, as she walked past him. Her thin black dress scraped the black floor made of darkness, as she walked past him. The Night Vermin followed the queen of the Night and left Ragnar behind.

For some minutes he stood there stupefied. He didn't know what do do, was he just dismissed?

After some hours of standing at the same place quietly he finally moved again and the first thing he did was groaning. What was he supposed to do now, return to Cronus and say he was dismissed?

Despite being slightly embarrassed by the turn of event's he still honored Nyx and left quietly.

Ragnar finally reappeared in the realms of Ragthor and Techa. He had been gone for a full week in the realm. But he couldn't bother finding out how much time that was inside the realm. All he knew was that he reached the thirtieth layer.

"Where have you been Ragnar?" Alice yelled and ran in for a hug. She had somehow found him the second he appeared in the realm. As they had their lovely reunion Cronus appeared next to them.

"It is time Ragnar, you can kiss the bride later!" He said and walked past the duo, expecting Ragnar to follow.

Ragnar increased the strength behind the hug slightly and let go. Then he followed Cronus to their new adventure.

The two entered a giant arena in Cronus realm he created long ago. Cronus turned around and looked Ragnar in the eye and said. "Sit in a lotus position!" Following Cronus wishes Ragnar sat down on the hard rocks of the arena and awaited new instructions.

(Past????)

"Listen kid, if you want to fight your father you need to master your powers! They're the same as mine yet opposite. I'm a being who only exists in one plain, one timeline. But you, you're different. While my power's makes the time I'm in the true timeline, yours make you invincible. You are the infinite amount of yourself. You have no limits Cronus. While I bring upon order you bring upon chaotic times! But their is nothing wrong with that. To learn your powers you will do the same thing I did kid!

Sit down in a lotus position and breath! Good, now feel deep within yourself! Grasp the feeling you have when you are alone, you feel so lonely, you feel so peer pressured. No matter where, or what you are you never feel alone, never empty. That is because you are never alone, grasp that feeling and you will see it. The infinite versions of you all around the infinite dimensions all across the infinite timelines. Cronus do you feel it, you're never alone!

Can you feel it? Can you feel it in your embrace, under your control?"

"Yes!"

"Good now make that light travel throughout your body! Good, good, you're doing it! What you feel right now is the infinite connection to time and yourself. You need to throw out the infinite feeling of yourself Cronus and only have the infinite feeling of time left.

Good job kid, the blue light in your hand is time in it's pure form, with this you will be able to do things you wouldn't dare to imagine before! Now the first thing you should do is to once more connect the infinite versions of yourself again and imagine being next to them. Remember this Cronus, this will be your adventure not mine! I can not help you more, only you can achieve your dreams and destiny!"

(Present)

"Breath in Ragnar! Feel within yourself, past all those personalities of yours, they're not you! Find an emotion, a feeling you constantly feel! An emptiness, like you are alone. An infinite world out there, yet none is close to you. Grab that feeling and bring it out of your body into your palm!" Cronus told Ragnar and he followed Cronus instructions. Within an hour he had made a blue light appear in his palm.

"Good job kid, now separate the constant emptiness you are feeling everyday!"

"Wait, how do you know I feel empty everyday and it's just a side effect of spending a lot of time alone, right?"

"No Ragnar, no it isn't, it is part of who you are! Now separate the emptiness from the infinite times that you are alone. Make time and emptiness two separate concepts!" Ragnar did as he was told, even if he had many questions, he still followed the orders and separated the two, making them their own concepts.

"Hahaha" Ragnar laughed in relief as he had the two different concepts in his hands. "What now Cronus?" He asked ready for his next mission.

"That is for you to decide Ragnar! It is your journey, your adventure to embark on. Only you can achieve your dreams and destiny!" Cronus said, hiding a small smile.

Ragnar nodded at Cronus and got out of his lotus position and let go of he two elements who merged again and entered his body.

As Ragnar left the arena Cronus entered a lotus position and a colorless liquid feel out of his eye.

He looked up into the empty sky and said. "Never alone, but you are!"

~Pov Julia~ (Third person)

A small comb traversed the forest and cleared out the weed. Over and over again the comb combed the hair, making it smoother and smoother each round.

"Mom what are you doing, we don't have all day, we'll be late for the reopening of the city!"

"I'm coming honey, don't worry. You can leave without me, I'll catch up, I promise!"

"Sure, sure, did the cat tangle your mind?" Xelena yelled, before running away.

As Julia was finally alone she sighted in relief and left the toilet. She had waited for the guests to leave before going outside and Xelena just so happened to be the last. Now she finally had the house to herself for a while. Under this time she could get ready to the fullest, wouldn't want to disappoint her date, would she.

Julia hummed to herself as she completed her final chores before leaving her house and going into the big scary realm of Techa, where she would meet Bitqrapro.

The doors to the house swung upon and Julia dramatically got out. She was high spirited and wouldn't let a single soul ruin her mood. With dedicated steps she marched towards the place where the event would occur. She was obsessed with being there early and not late so at some point she started running. Which was a good choice, as the place was very far away.

As she was jogging she made sure nothing messed her hair up, or dirtied her clothes, as it would ruin her day and the impression Bitqrapro had for her.

As Julia arrived everyone had already gathered. The three factions all had their little group, while the giant/titan faction stood at the sidelines.

As Julia was approaching the stage where they would announce the opening of the city she saw a muscular brown haired human standing next to Bitqrapro. The man whispered something into Bitqrapro's ears and smiled.

Like she was controlled by a defense mechanism she jumped up on the stage and stood next to Bitqrapro, accidentally pushing the human away.

"Opps, my bad, who are you to stand here?" Julia asked, her question innocent, but the intent not so much.

"Well rude girl the name's Howard and I'm Ragnar's favorite worshiper, isn't that right Bitqrapro?" Howard asked Bitqrapro.

"Yes, Ragnar introduced him to me some time ago Julia."

"Ahh okey, than it's no problem, let's get started." Julia said and walked to the middle of the stage.

"It is with great honor I stand before all of you today. I am Julia, many know me, many don't. I and Howard over there are representing Ragnar, as he couldn't come here! We would like to thank all of you who helped with rebuilding this wonderful city that was destroyed durning the war and it is a pleasure for me to stand before you today and be able to proudly claim this. Techa's main city had been restored and all who wished can now enter Techa once more. May we have a wondrous future full with love and prosperity, that is all from me. It is now Bitqrapro's turn to speak!" Julia said.

After Julia came Bitqrapro's speech, it was some random bullshit and so was Howard's afterwards. The duo left to talk for a bit before Julia and Bitqrapro left for their so called date.

As they left the city they'd rebuilt was being inhabited by all the old members and new curious friends.

~Pov Cronus~ (Third person)

"Why have you come here Unity, weren't you at the reopening as Howard, Ragnar's favorite worshiper?"

"The festivity's are over, speaking of Ragnar, where is he?"

"He's on an adventure for the moment, he will return shortly with the new conviction and a way to move forward. A way to reach the next step in his power."

"Well that's good, why don't you and me talk about the future than?"

~Pov Gluttony's slave~ (Third person)

Jerald gained gray hair and his skin became wrinkly. He had long since lost control of the staff and was the one being used. He had entered a new world in the fifth dimension to feed once more. The celestials there were very friendly to him and treated him like a old man. Even though age wasn't really a concept in the fifth dimension, only power. But he was also very powerful so they assumed he took on the form he felt like.

"May I interest you with a steak?" A young beautiful waitress asked Jerald who sat down in a chair of their establishment.

"That would be wonderful, may I also have a glass of wine?" Jerald asked, his voice was raspy and sounded very dry. Like a mortal who hadn't had a sip of water for way to long.

"Of course sir, do you have any Drigacoins, or do you wish to pay in other currencies?"

"I will pay in Drigacoinss, don't worry!"

The steak and wine was brought to Jerald and he leisurely sipped the nectar. After he finished the meal the waitress came back and said.

"Do you want anything else, or do you want to pay the bill?" As she asked the question she ruined Jerald's mood and he stroke her, killing the innocent waitress with a single blow. Everyone who witnessed the scene were enraged and hoped to take revenge.

Little did they know that they would become the dinner of a hungry old man!
