'what's this bastard saying' Eclipse thought in confusion. But before he could voice out his confusion, his question was answered.

"Raphael is dead, because of you".

'wait Raphael is dead'.

The boy's words cut deep, and Eclipse felt a pang of pity and annoyance. Pity because he never met for anyone to die even if they hated him, at most he just wanted them to stay away from him as far as possible, annoyance because he just uttered a few words who knew it would happen, it's not as if he had the magical ability to make wish come through.

"That was how your parents died, and how you led the clan astral you deceiver".

Eclipse didn't have any particular feelings for his parents, he never knew them, he had only heard of them in name, at least hearing the torment his mother had being throughout her pregnancy, it was enough for him to respect her, but hearing what this 'being' had to say was getting on his nerves.

"Let go of me this instant, I didn't kill anyone how was i supposed to know that Nether was going to attack".

"You said it yourself, may all of you be consumed be Nether and boom we were attacked, first elder was right you really are a jinx".

"Unhand me you wretch, that bastard don't know anything at all".

"What are you going to do if I don't, talk me to death".

Although Eclipse was superb in fighting he was exceptional in talking, and besides he haven't awaken any of the ancestry wings although he have access to both, so fighting some one who haven't only awaken his wings but the left wing which represented strength, was only asking to be beaten.

"That what I thought, you are still as useless as before, pathetic".

Pushing Eclipse away he turned and walked into the truck, the rest now acting like his minions walked behind him throwing him look of contempt.

Eclipse snorted at them then arranged his hospital gown, dusting off the place Kyle had heed him.

He raised his head only to see that almost everyone has entered the bus leaving behind a few military personnel and the husband and wife Duo in front of him who gestured for him to go with them as they boarded the bus.

As they boarded the armored bus, Eclipse's eyes widened in amazement at the sight of the interior. The bus was equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including communication devices and medical equipment. The seats were reinforced with steel plating, and the windows were tinted to provide maximum protection.

The duo led him to a seat near the back of the bus, where a group of survivors from his shelter were already seated. Eclipse's eyes darkened as he took in the familiar faces with the same look of comptemt they threw at him before he entered the bus, a mix of pity and annoyance building inside him. They deserved his pity as after looking around he didn't see any adult not to talk of their parents, they was only one adult— no a teenage of about Eighteen years who after several years of slavery became their teacher, looking at him with her emerald green eyes filled with hate. Mrs. Elara.

'Disloyal bitch'. Eclipse eyes landed at the woman, he stared threatening at her and started walking towards her. Elara heed his gaze but seeing him advancing towards her rapidly, she faltered and cower into the body of Kyle beside her, taking cover in his dominance. Seeing her being cowardice and the glare he was receiving from Kyle beside her, he ignored them and took a seat behind the husband and wife Duo. Why didn't he stay with the other survivors of his shelter, it was because he considered them below him, and definitely not that he was afraid that they would murder him if he stayed too far from the Husband and wife Duo.

'Yes that's definitely it'. Eclipse justified his actions in his mind.

As the bus pulled away from the parking lot, Eclipse felt a sense of uncertainty wash over him. Where were they going? it now occurred to him that he didn't even know where they were going but seeing everyone staying quiet he assumed that they were already briefed so he decided to stay quiet. He wasn't going to give them more reason to look down on him.

All of a sudden he started to feel his wrist tighten and then a burning feeling came from his wrist causing him to let out a yelp, looking down at his wrist he saw a pattern began to engrave itself on his wrist with a scalding sensation.

Eclipse froze as he took in the sight of a rose flower blooming on his wrist. The rose flower bloomed then started to rotate slowly and began to pick up speed.

"It's seems you have been contacted by the SOUL DAIRY". The nonchalant voice of Ryder rang out.

Eclipse was stunned speechless as he took in the sight of the flower which was spinning ever so slowly with a single word excaping his mouth.

"How".

"It's expected, you have brushed shoulders with Nether it's only a matter of time the pages of the soul dairy unfold within you". The cheerful voice of Patel rang out. But seeing the expression of denial on his face she hurriedly added. "Don't worry I have faith you would survive".

But Eclipse didn't respond he just stared blankly at empty air.

"What did he expect he was born on February 19th and it's just a day from now". Still no response from the still frozen Eclipse.

"Tsk, tsk are all Aquarius this stupid".

Atlas the still frozen Eclipse was still stunned unable to retort. He just stared dumbly at his hands. After some time he mouth parted as he said in a fear filled voice.

"Am screwed". Why you ask. Let's start from the beginning, one more time.

(Detecting a Hugh amount of info dumb)

The soul Diary was the entity which arrived after the arrival of Aether and Nether, it was the 'thing' that granted humans the power to harness Aether. It represented itself as a benevolent entity grafting the power of Aether into the souls of humanity, it was the record of humanity soul. It was the dairy to look to, to see the record of journey you have being through, it holds the whispers of the souls you have extinguished, it grafts humanity true names, and prepare you for ascension towards Divinity, it lad the path to celestial. But, that is the thought of Noble clans, for civilians and fallen clan alike it was hell.

Only clan members who had undergone training from a young age could in normal circumstances have a rate of survival at least 60%, as for the rest death was almost guaranteed, why because the dairy was unpredictable. Back to Eclipse.

Although he has gone through training, that was only mandune compared to the despair the dairy promised. The dairy took people to trials, based on their soul integrity, soul integrity was judged the lower the numerical number the better, the higher the numerical number the lower your chances of ever been contacted, most of the population lived their lifes never coming in contact with the soul dairy.

The soul dairy contacted his target on their birthday making the best day of your life into the worst day of your life, Eclipse birthday was on February 19th making him a Aquarius and his birthday was no other than tomorrow.

Raising his head he could already see the glee on the face of his fellow clan members and the almost crazed expression on the face of his archenemy and also his nemesis— Elara. She was so happy that the grin on her face threatened to spilt her face in half.

Sighing he mouthed. "Am screwed".
