CREATION… There are three realms of might known to it—the Earth-Realm, Sky-Realm, and Heavenly-Realm. Four stages exist within each realm, and every created being must advance through each one with equal fairness to reach the highest attainable level… The Heavenly Realm!

Or so it was believed…

Privy to only the most privileged, was the knowledge of an ancient—unproven rumor. One that ran amok within the gatherings of the higher entities of the universe; the searing Seraphs, the arrogant Empyreans, and the lofty Celestials. A rumor that spoke of a fourth and final realm!

Inconceivable!

Or so they thought…

A deviant emerged. One backed up by Heaven's radiance. And whether coincidentally or not, his very name echoed this truth.

This is the tale of how the history of the universe was rewritten.

Rise of The Holy-Realm Rebel

Sundown arrived and I, Seinaru, and Devon went hunting. It had taken us three hours to find anything worthy, and I had been the one to kill it—a proud moment of course.

The ladies took care of the rest, and we could eat.

What a refreshing day it had been.

Soon, we prepared our bed of leaves to sleep. We would wake up early the next day to resume our journey.

Hours into our sleep a sound awoke me, and although I remained mostly unmoving, I caught sight of Eiko's shadow vanishing into the woods. The dancing flames were to thank for this—made my Eiko's Craft; they couldn't go out easily.

For some reason, however, I felt an urge to follow her, which I did. She had been going out like this for the past three days, and though I guessed what she went to do, I could not conclude until I saw.

Following her up a path that turned into a cliff, I watched her sit cross-legged at its edge. That cliff provided a better view of the terrain up ahead.
