It's been weeks since the news of the Arks finding came to light. Those weeks have not been kind as the chaos that Anastasia tried to control unraveled immediately and set everything ablaze.
Truly, Chaos can not be controlled. When one tries to tame it, it becomes wild and shows the one who tries to take hold of it of their mistake.
Many Cults and Sects have collapsed, social order has unraveled as unrest spreads like a ravenous wildfire.
Mass suicides spread across the world as many who see the photo on the newspaper killed themselves in their denial.
Truly, a sad and sorrowful sight. Seeing people die from information that hasn't been verified by their own governments.
But the following weeks haven't only seen sadness but also joy.
The Abrahamic Religions and those who believe in it are joyfull as proof of the scripture has been found. Not like the evidence that those who mock it and claim it's falsehood, but actual evidence that can't be denied by even the most staunch Atheists.
But the one who caused thise chaos is not doing as well as one might think. No, Anastasia is currently drowning in sorrow as she blames herself for the thousands of deaths that she indirectly caused.
In her private room within the Imperial Palace she lays on her bed crying her soul out as she feels the pain of those who died.
Outside the chamber Tatiana is speaking to Constantine.
"Constantine, let me in my sister is crying and she needs someone to comfort her."
Tatiana said sternly as her arms are crossed.
Constantine who is standing before her blocking her way to Anastasia's room is shaking his head.
"I am sorry your Highness,but her Highness Anastasia forbid anyone from entering her room without her permission."
Tatiana then looked Constantine straight in the eyes as she spoke.
"I'm a Princess too, so I Order you to make way or I will forcibly make you. Don't test me Sir Constantine."
Tatiana spoke formally, this means she's serious.
Constantine despite the rough words uttered by Tatiana remains standing, his position unchanged.
Tatiana seeing Constantines defiance sighed and shook her head.
"Alright, notify me once Anastasia is alright, hey whats that?!"
Constantine who was nodding suddenly turns to the location that Tatiana pointed at.
There's nothing, he then turns back to Tatiana only to find her not standing were she once stood.
*Click*
He heard the door behind him that lead to Anastasias room click as he turns around.
Constantine sighs, he fell for the easiest trick in the book.
-Inside Anastasias Room-
Tatiana closed the door as she sees her sister laying face down on her bed as she cries.
"Constantine, I said no is allowed Inside."
Anastasia said while still face down on the bed.
"It's me sister, I came to see you."
Tatiana spoke as she approached Anastasia.
Anastasia hearing this suddenly jumps out of her position and looks at Tatiana.
"Don't look, I'm unsightly."
Tatiana smiled at her sisters words.
"You're never unsightly sister."
She approached Anastasia and gave her a hug.
Anastasia who was hugged began to cry once more.
"I-I-I have caused so many to die, all because I wanted to reveal the Ark to everyone."
Anastasia stuttered as she shed tears.
Tatiana hug tightened.
"It's alright, don't blame yourself. It was their decision to do those actions, not yours."
Anastasia after calming down hugged her back as they stayed like this for minutes before letting go.
"Thank you, sister. I will repent for this sin, but I must go on as I can't stay and drown in my sorrow when I have a nation to take care of."
Tatiana smiled and gave her another hug before getting of the bed.
Anastasia followed her of the bed and as she got out her head suddenly got hit with metamorphical hammers as she screamed out and fell on the ground.
Tatiana turned to Anastasia as she rushed to her.
"Sister! What's wrong?!"
As Tatiana finished speaking the door to the room got blown inwards as Constantine entered the room.
"Your Highness!"
Constantine rushed to Anastasia and kneels down next to her.
Anastasia who is still in pain managed to look up at them.
"I-Its back again, the pain."
Anastasia's headaches keept on getting worse and worse during the years.
As she is laying there, her vision suddenly changed. What she sees before her is a Gaint Palace of magnificence, but that soon changed as it began to rot and decay in a instant as if time was accelerated.
"Stop them."
Anastasia looks around, this voice, she been hearing the same voice for years.
"Stop them, before it's to late."
Then there is this one, she hears two voices since the last 2 years. Since her 18th birthday.
The visions also began since 2 years ago, as have her headaches intensified.
"Anastasia say something."
As she was looking at the Palace she suddenly is back in her room, looking at Tatiana who spoke.
"I'm, fine. The headache started again."
Anastasia answered as she stood up with Constantines help.
Tatiana wasn't happy with the answer.
"Sister, you've been having these headaches since you're ten years old. You founded Imperial Inc. to find a cure for it, why are you not doing anything it!?"
Tatiana said loudly as she looks at her sisters pitiful look.
"I'm doing everything I can! I cant always be in my Labs and search for a cure when I have my duty as Princess!"
Anastasia answered.
"Damm the duties! Ana, I want you to be alright, to be free again!"
Tatiana screamed out as tears threatened to come out.
Anastasia hugged her.
"I will be alright, just help me in my duty and I will see that I find a cure."
Tatiana nodded in her arms as Anastasia let go.
Constantine who was standing from behind sighed as he followed the two Princesses as they left the room.
What Anastasia didn't know, was the Silent War going on within the shadows.
-Undisclosed Location-
*Vooosh Vooosh Vooosh*
The Shadows zoomed passed a corridor as they ran into men shooting their firearms at them.
"Leave no Heretic alive, no one leaves this place alive!"
The middle Shadow said at it slashed his sword as a group of men, cleanly cutting them in half.
"For the Saintess!"
The Shadows charged through as bullets bounced of their armor as they ran at impossible speeds for their size towards their enemies.
These shadows are the Harbingers of the Damned, the Saintess's loyal men.
Within moments, hundreds of Heretics died as the Harbingers cut, punched, crushed them to bits and pieces as the walls cracked and shattered from their attacks.
"It's them! Kill them!"
A Man who looks like a bloated balloon with puss coming out of every orifice screamed out.
But before the abominable man could utter another word his vision suddenly turned upside-down.
A Harbinger had cleanly cut his head of his shoulders as it ran into another Heretic turning it into a soup as bits splattered around.
The Harbingers have been called to exterminate another Heretic hideout, Ordered by the Church as they found multiple such hideouts.
Heretic numbers are falling like flies across the world as the news of the Arks discovery caused most of the Heretics to suddenly combust and implode on themselves.
One may ask how no government has spotted the countless dead Heretic corpses scattered around the world. The answer is than when a Heretic dies, their body turns to ash alongside anything associated with them. The reason they turn to ash is that the human body can't hold the Demonic Powers, as such they turn into abominable monsters and when they die all that power gets released and purified, turning into ash.
With the Harbingers dispatched across the World to crush the remaining Heretics who are too deep in the corruption their numbers take a dip as their fate is sealed.
-Unknown-
The Gaint Rotting Palace, where the Beings who sat on the 12 Thrones sat is missing one as one Throne is empty. The Being is seen before a large army as it screams out.
"For too long have we stood defeated by Elohim's Angels when they appeared before Olympus and destroyed our home, took our Human Worshipers and their Souls! Tonight we take revenge by killing his most beloved Saintess on Terra! We will regain our Glory!"
The Being screamed out as the Army screamed in unison.
"I swear this on my father Zeus's name that I, Ares God of War will regain our foothold on Terra once more!"
