GREETINGS

Minatori sat upon his throne, a sprawling monstrosity of black stone that seemed to absorb the light around it. Before him, a series of glowing fragments floated in mid-air, each one displaying a different scene from across the World Nexus. Minatori's eyes darted between them, his gaze lingering on the projection of Ekron.

He raised a hand, and the Ekron projection zoomed in, displaying the chaos of the Goblin War. Minatori's eyes narrowed as he watched, his expression unreadable. After a moment, he swatted the projection aside, and called forward a new one from a different part of the world. It was a cloaked swordsman, thier features hidden but the cloak, walking in the sandy desert plains in Heliopolis.

As he observed this,another projection caught his eye, this one displaying the fierce battle between Sasha and Kamau above the Savage Lands. Minatori's eyes gleamed with interest as he watched, his fingers steepled together in front of his chin. He then observed as the victor of their bout was determined and they teleported to Opal a province Of the kingdom of Archadia. He attempted to follow them into it's capital city of Ekron but his view was severed and the screen went dark.

"Interference in Ekron, I see," he murmured to himself. "Someone or something is able to sense my vision and blind me. "

The 14 Abstract pillars were the Pinnacle of all things and supported existence for it's continued being but this role caused them to also limited their powers to some extent and so they were bound lest they destroy what they were meant to preserve with their Precence alone.

They were not omnipresent and couldn't see all of everything without the use of tools or advanced techniques.

Minatori was able to move past this and have eyes everywhere, scattered throughout the World Nexus and even beyond.

As at that time series of small, orbs were flying all around the world. Each one of these balls was like an eyeball with two pupils and a single iris passing through both of them. Wings protruded from the sides of each orb with burns and spike littering their bodies, giving them a strange, otherworldly appearance.

Minatori was the abstract of Evolution and had used this power granted him to make up for the limitation. At full power he wouldn't even need to use these crude appendges but then the rift that brouggt him back also brought him back in the state he was before being trapped at the end of Eternity via The Hero's Soul Link Magic.

These were his constructs, his eyes and ears in the world beyond this throne room. But even if they were a part of him they were not immune to interference."

Minatori's gaze fell upon another projection, this one displaying Dona and her subordinates as they departed Ekron through the rift in the skies above the city. His eyes narrowed, his expression thoughtful.

"Chaos Lord Dona Crimson. I had wondered when you would make your move. And now, it seems, you have allied yourself with the same mortal whi brought me back from times end,Kojo Atari."

Minatori's gaze shifted to another projection, this one displaying Kojo's initial battle against Faust. Minatori's eyes gleamed with interest as he watched, his fingers drumming against the armrest of his throne.

But as the battle reached the final phase he saw Faust deploy his World Manifestation, the projection began to glitch then flickered and died, replaced by a message that read "Signal Lost". Minatori's eyes narrowed, his expression darkening.

"All my eyes in the area were destroyed by a strange force a singular attack. I do not know what caused it, or what happened between that time and Dona's departure from that region. But I do know one thing: Dona Crimson has chosen this Mortal,Kojo as his ally. And that means that he is now a player in this game of power and intrigue. What kind of plans have the two of the drawn up against me?"

As Minatori spoke, the projections before him dissipated, and he was left sitting in silence. A female voice spoke up from the shadows.

"Then you should just ask," the voice said.

" I'll be happy to teach you a thing or two. You are my student after all."

Minatori raised his head from the resting position,his eyes snapping towards the speaker, and he slowly smiled as he saw Dona Crimson standing before him. She was dressed in a short red dress and a jacket with high boots gifts made for her by Kojo using his Arcane Threads. Dona's hands were in her pockets, and she looked Minatori in the eyes,a confident smile played on her lips.

"Dona Crimson," Minatori said, his voice dripping with dark emotions.

" You are not welcome here."

Dona walked around the hall in front of Minatori, her eyes scanning the room with a mixture of amusement and annoyance.

"You shouldn't be so stuffy, Minatori. We literally haven't seen each other in an Eternity."

Minatori's expression didn't change, but his voice took on a slightly sharper tone. "I'm sure you didn't come all this way for small talk, Dona. State your business or get out."

" No honorifics? Thats Miss Dona to you.I'm your senior you know you should have more respect." Dona said and snapped her fingers, and the projections that had disappeared earlier returned, floating in the air around her. She glanced at them, a look of distaste on her face.

"Did your parents never teach you that only creeps and weirdos spy on other people?"

Minatori's eyes narrowed, his aura beginning to seep out of his body.

"Ooh, acting like a big boy now, aren't you?" Dona said playfully, her eyes glinting with amusement.

"I'm so scared."

" What do you want." Minatori demanded again.

"I came to see what you've been up to." she said, her tone turning serious.

"And to prepare you for what's to come. You can avoid it however if you turn away from your plans. We were not meant to rule,only hold things yo and preserve it. Your actions will distabkize everything and trigger another purge."

"To hell with the crimson dawn." replied,his aura surgung out of his body and filling the room with an intense, teal-colored energy. "You've become soft. All of you so called Lords Of Order and Chaos are weaklings." he sneered.

"All because of the lesser races , no doubt. What better way to preserve the balance than to rule over everything? And you in particular, an all powerful beings pratelling a with mortals.I'm disappointed."

"Watch your tongue!" Dona said, her voice cold and deadly. Her smile faded, and she released her own aura, which clashed with Minatori's and canceled it out. It was so potent that it killed all the Maajin within the perimeter of the storm. The storm outside the ruined castle itself responded to her energy, raging and intensifying and becoming a spiraling hurricane.

"I was there before the formation of the planet from which you derive your origin. You would do well to show some respect,boy."

Minatori's face twisted with rage, and he launched a blast of teal flames at Dona. But she didn't move, and instead, a fragment panel expanded from the floor, absorbing the attack and blocking it from reaching her.

Dona retaliated, using the panels to launch a series of swift and precise attacks that Minatori struggled to defend against. She did this by manifesting the attacks from the recorded past into the present reality and watched sileny as Minatori struggled to defend from his throne her hands still in her pockets.

He managed to despel all the attacks and got to his feet manifesti g a spear from his arm but Dona disappeared from view, only to reappear an instant later, her palm flying towards his face. Minatori tried to dodge, but it was too late, and Dona's fist connected with a loud crack, and she threw him backwards sending him flying off his throne and crashing to the ground below.

The throne itself was cracked from the force, a web of cracks appearing on it's surface.Minatori struggled to get to his feet, his eyes blazing with anger and humiliation and coughed blood.

But Dona just sat on the throne and criswr her legs , looking down at him.

" You still haven't recovered from the last time we fought. Hmm,I never trained you to be weak though."

Minatori grit his teeth.

" Well no matter. Me telling you to stop you war was not a request. If you do anything to disrupt the figure balance of the world, I Will, Kill You." She said looking at him with piercing red eyes.

She then disappeared in a burst of flame,her voice still ringing through the empty castle.

"Advise yourself."

With a roar, Minatori banged his fists against the ground sending cracks through the castm ruined infrastucture and causing a ripple to send a large wave to expand from the castle outwards.

He chuckled ,then giggled then began to laugh a chilling laugh that echoed through the empty halls.

" Wonderful! Just wonderful!!!"
