Chapter 30 - Beyond the Heaven

Some days have passed, since the 'Battle of Worth' event ended,...

Xen is still unconscious on bed. Inside of a castle room on the Central Star Land.

His entire body is covered by bandages. But his cape isn't there. Because the cape that Fiona gives him, that already burned into ashes because of flame.

Xen slowly opened his eyes, as the light of four sun flashed over his eyes. He heard the beautiful noise of birds, from outside of the window.

Calmed and cold wind filled the entire room. Xen properly opened his eyes and he feel someone's hair over his right hand.

Then he raised his head up and noticed Elis is present on the side of his bed. She is sleeping while her head is over Xen's abs.

Xen rise his hand to touched her cheeks and her beautiful red hair too. Someone like her must be crushed of thousands Man, but she still likes Xen.

That's what he is thinking right now, while petting his hand over her head.

Elis wakes up because of Xen's movement, the moment when she realised that Xen finally regained his consciousness, she immediately hugged him.

"You wakes up after so much long time....."

"Elis, how many days have passed, since I lose my consciousness?"

Elis looks at Xen's face, within a cute smile she replied to his question,

"Around 4 days. I woke up before you...."

.

.

.

.

Xen is now comfortable with Elis, that's why they are getting bit normal conversations about eachother. Like what they did in past years.

But then Xen asked to Elis, "when you are going to tell me about our past story?"

"Xen, what you want to know at first?"

Xen put his hand over his face, and tried to remember something. But he didn't get a proper conclusion about what he wants to know right now. That's why he just told her to continue as better way.

"Just tell me whatever you want for now..."

Elis nodded her head and summoned something over her hand. Those are some papers. She passed it to Xen as she suggested him,

"Read it carefully...."

.

.

Xen started reading those words, which are written on those pages, slowly he lost into those words. He feels like his mind is observing the creation beyond of heaven. Some words are really capable of creating such a feeling like that??

.

.

.

.

After a while he reached out the last page of the story. He became confused after reading the last line. He unknowingly flipped the paper, for to read the next part. But nothing was written there.

He looked at Elis with a bit confusion. As he asked,

"Where's the continuation? That must be the synopsis of around 10 chapters. The plot is quite good I would like to continue reading it."

Elis smile at Xen's words and slowly replied to him,

"There's no continuation. What is your opinion about this story?"

Xen takes a deep breath while he recalled about the entire synopsis again, before replying to her...

"Don't judge a book by it's cover. That's a legendary line. But it's because of, the author doesn't know how to make a proper cover. Actually the story that I just read now, that's something I will acknowledge. It's starting is so good, I can feel it's depth and darkness."

Elis is smiling brightly at him, Xen feels like she is hiding something from him. Before he could say something. Elis mentioned something really unbelievable

"The story that you just read now, the author of that story, is you of 8 years old. On your childhood you always talked about your dreams and thoughts. And you were always write them. But you forgot about your dream and what is the continuation of the story. That's why you burned your book due to anger, but after some time you write that synopsis. With the hope that you will remember it again or able to understand the continuation..."

.

.

.

Xen nodded his head, first he were surprised, but now he is silent. Since he doesn't have proper memories of his childhood, so that he have to trust on her. Xen look after those pages again. He raised the last page and again read the last line of the story.

['I'll Rise Above from there and down you all, because I'm.....']

————————————

"A Hollow, who will rise above from abyss. That's something which showed a beyond level cosmology. Right now I can't even imagine that level...."

After saying that Xen passed those pages to Elis.

Right now Elis is holding a glass cube, which is totally filled by ashes....

"Is it the ashes of burning papers?"

"Yeah. Xen, I needed too much aura and space just for to storing those ashes and papers on my privet space. That's more than storing legendary weapons...."

Xen replied to her words without thinking twice, "that's because the authority of those things are too much. That's why you need too much aura...."

But then he realised what he just said, some papers and ashes have more authority than legendary weapons.....

Right now he is so confused that he don't want to think about it.

.

.

.

He just ignored those things and takes out his black metal smoking pipe. But Elis took it from him, and stated to prepared it for him.

"Where is Fray, right now?"

"Probably Fray is talking with Omniscient one."

Xen slowly leaves from his bed and started leaving from the room after taking the black metal smoking pipe, that she prepared just now.

But Elis grabbed his hand as she asked him, "Are you going to leave from....."

"Didn't I lose a fight against you? I'm not gonna left you behind.... I'll make new memories with you.."

Those beautiful words make a cute and satisfying smile on her face. Xen won't forget her cute face again.... He slowly pet her head before leaving from there... He also take his Spear, he was holding that after such a long time. He stucked it with his pent belt...

On the other side of the castle, Fray is setting on a chair, in front of Omniscient one. He is so relaxed and calm. And his body language is clearly showing that.

Fray is moving or spinning a fountain pen over his fingers. His movements are so smooth and precise. But Omniscient one is looking at Fray, as like he is waiting for him to answer or something else.

Fray finally opened his mouth,

"I guessed everything accurately, from the beginning. And the 3rd emperor, the perfect example of strength. I already know about him. But right now I have nothing to do, I'll just go ahead along with my vision."

Just after saying that, Fray started to leave from there. He has no intention or neither interest to continue this conversation.

But Omniscient one stoped him as he asked,

"Fray, I would like to offer you the position of 4th Emperor. Would you like to become the Emperor of 4th generation?"

"Fuck, I have zero interest about those stuffs."

Fray leave from there.

Just after he left the room, another person stepped inside the room.

.

.

.

.

.

Fray is walking through the castle side corridor. He is so focused on his thinking, that he is just stepping his foot randomly.

His bit longer yellow hair is floating along with the cold wind, which is coming from the outside.

His eye is too bright but now that is focused about something. And another eye is covered by a new eye patch.

.

.

.

Then someone grabbed his shoulder and stopped him,

"Hey boy, wake up. Are you daydreaming?"

"Oh Xen, you wake up."

Fray removed Xen's hands from his shoulder, as he added that,

"Neither I saw dream even at night...."

They started walking together, Xen is observing him for such a long time. Now Xen is sure that Fray isn't okay right now.

Fray figured out about Xen's thoughts, but right now he doesn't care about it.

"Xen, you must thinking that, I'm so evil, because I didn't even hesitate to cut off Zyon's left arm."

Xen slowly take out the metal pipe from his mouth and breath out the smoke, and cleared Fray's words....

"Good and evil are just two words that give to other people after observing their personality. The truth is they're not good neither bad. They are just that, what you want to tell them. If a person is good for someone then he must be bad for someone too. You can't describe someone by just a single word."

Fray just nodded his head after Xen's words. But Xen's eyes are wide open as he just noticed or remembered something just now. Xen looks at Fray with confusing eyes or more curiousity. But Fray is like now, what with that reaction.

Xen point his hand along with the metal pipe on his shoulder, as he asked,

"You meant his entire arm. Like from shoulder. I mean you cut his bones. You really did that too easily?"

Fray makes a fool like expression while asking his confusing questions, "What so special about cutting his bone? Yeah it were bit harder."

Xen started at Fray's eye with deep gaze, but Fray is more colder than him. Fray moved his eye from Xen, and released little bit presence from his left eye.

Then Xen understand that, Fray is strong enough to do it. If it's Fray, then it make sense.

.

.

.

Xen slowly smiled and changed the topic as he said, "Really a nice eye patch."

"Yeah, Elis gifted me that."

His new eye patch is totally refined finished. It's black fabric is perfectly designed along with golden pattern and three purple crystals are attached on the below end, which are touching over his left cheek.

.

.

.

.

While walking both of them arrived in front of a door. Xen is about to knock on the door.

Fray moved his face and stopped Xen from knocking the door, "Zyon present there, you have to wait."

.

.

.

They comes in front of a balcony, on a little bit distance from the room.

Xen noticed that Fray is continuously looking after something. As Xen e moved his gaze too, at the same direction. Xen found out Rechel is present there. And she is leaving from the central Star Land, along with her father.

Xen slowly put his hand over Fray's shoulder, it's like he is allowing him.

But why it's Xen?

"Xen, don't pretend like that. You are not....."

"Fray, I want to know about him. Your father....."

.

.

.

Before Fray could say something. The door of Omniscient one's room opened. Xen started to leave from there, but still he is continuously looking at Fray while turning back his face a bit. Even till the last point of time, he is expecting Fray would say something.

Fray smiled a bit while saying, "If the blood became black, would the rose become too?...."
