Xen was standing in front of a door, his hand was shaking. Xen slowly opened the door and entered the inside of the room. The room is entirely covered by blood. And a bad smell filled the entire room.
Xen noticed two women's dead bodies were captured by chains against the wall. And when he moved his eyes a little bit, he spotted a little kid's Death body too.
Their body had melted, and a little bit of flesh was stuck with the bone. That can be guessed, they get tortured too badly.
Xen moved his head and then he found another death body. He instantly understand that's the death body of,
"Elder Yansy...."
Xen realised that, when he went to the opposite world along with Ryan and Fiona. Fallen stars capture Hedro and Elder Yansy. And they might have forced Hedro to kill Xen.
But still Hedro chose to protect his cousin's dream. Over his two wives, children and even father.
The amount of pain Xen is feeling right now, that's clearly visible on his eyes. He remembered the time when he pierced Hedro's chest.

Xen was walking around here and there normally. Everything is completely covered by deep darkness, while the night sky is full of stars. And under the sea of stars, Lord of Darkness was walking around.
He was thinking about Hedro and all the things he sacrificed for Xen's dream.
Then Xen spotted that Fray was standing in front of a certain grave, there's only one grave present there. Xen became curious to know about the grave. He was wondering, who is this important person for Fray.
Xen slowly reached out there. But even after noticing his presence, Fray remained silent. As if he was waiting for Xen to arrive here.
Fray asked Xen in a cold and deep voice, "What were the last words Rechel told you?"
Xen swallowed the emptiness, he became stunned after realising Fray's deep serious words.
Xen moved his gaze with dark eyes, while he replied, "She said, 'I want Fray to be Happy Forever'..."
Fray touched his sword multiple times, he wanted to grab the sword and let out his frustration and anger. But he never learned the way to let out anger on someone.
He just silently looks at Xen without blinking for a moment. His eyes are clearly describing his pain.
Xen raised his hand, he thought about consoling him. But Xen takes his hand back, because he knows currently Fray isn't someone who can be consoled by words.
Xen was about to move from there, but then he heard Fray's voice, "Xen,.... Why?"
Xen heartlessly replied, "For a reason."
Fray almost lost control from himself, he was about to take out his sword. While Xen's cold Sharp eyes are just observing his all movements.
Fray hardly calmed down and punched Xen's chest to let out his frustration. Fray bit his lips, slowly and it started bleeding. Fray opened his bloody lips...
"You could choose a different path."
"Trust me or not, but that was the only path I could choose."
Just after leaving those hard words, Xen moved away from there. After taking some steps back, Xen looked behind at Fray as he suggested to him, "Come when you will calm down."

Xen was walking from over the raw field, his both hands are inside of his pocket. Xen's steps are creating sharp noise, that might be because of the atmosphere which is completely unstable.
Xen slowly took out his hand for his pocket and summoned his black metal smoking pipe. He looked at the pipe for some time. Now that's just an empty metal frame. Nothing to burn, he just hopelessly held the metal pipe between his index and middle finger.
Xen raised his head and observed the vastly expanded sea of stars. Those stars are looking amazing, those celestial bodies which glow from birth till death. But nothing more than just an glowing object of the cosmos.
Among those countless stars, Xen's eyes are just trying to look for a certain star. Which isn't visible anymore.

"Darling, are you trying to looking at heaven from here?"
Xen's expression changed when he heard her voice. A little bit smile covered his depressed thoughts. Elis was standing behind, she was completely unknown about Xen's thoughts.
Xen replied to her question while he made a relaxed smile, "No sweetheart, Heaven was looking down at me."
Elis came close to his side and slowly took the metal smoking pipe from his hand. Xen deeply looked into her eyes, she was looking confined. But Xen has no idea what she is doing right now.
Elis looked into his eyes and placed her hand over his cheeks, "They won't be happy to see this on your hand."
Xen remains silent after hearing her words, Xen doesn't know about this. That's why Elis asked him,
"How much closer do you get to reach your dream?"
"I have crossed a long way, but still I'm far away from that."
Both of them are really close to each other, but then they feel someone is arriving here. That's why both of them came to a normal standing position.
Bright white wings create an extremely loud sound when it waves to reach here. While breaking the sound barrier, Zyon arrived in front of Xen under blink of an eye.
He was holding The blood Red spear in his hand. Then he moved the Spear, Xen instantly raised his hand and grabbed his spear. He feels like he just got an instant flask back of his all past battle.
Things are just crystal clear, now the spear is ready to create a blood river again. Because the best user of this Spear grabbed it again.
Zyon passed the Spear to Xen while he suggested to him, "Be careful, this spear is too much trusty for blood."
Xen smiled and made him more worried, "After all this spear is made by blood."
Xen raised his spear at the night sky..... Under the sea of stars, the red blooded Spear was shining; on the hand of its greatest user.
Xen remembers the last time he grabbed the Spear, and he killed all the elders and many fallen stars. His eyes were covered by the shadow, and under that he was getting flashbacks.....
Xen comes to conscious when he feel some lighting sparks. And at the next moment Fray arrived here. He was holding two crystal sword on his arms. Fray shot a sword, while Xen smoothly grabbed that on middle air.
Xen looked at Zyon, he was holding his Lanc. And Elis cracked her finger while a mysterious smile formed over her face. All of them are prepared for something, which Xen is about to start.
Fray looked at Xen while he calmly asked him, "So what's the plan?"
Xen smirk after hearing Fray's words, then moved his eyes somewhere in the sky, "Deviad open the portal....."
That name is every unknown to them, but not Fray. And by his reaction, that can be said Fray is hell serious right now. And the needle piercing presence which is coming out from his left eye, that clearly described his serious killing intention.
But apart from his killing intent, Xen smoothly arrived in front of him and slowly patted his shoulder. Then Xen passed away from him, as he slowly whispered, "You can't directly teleport us there, right?..... Fray."
The icy cold blade touched Xen's neck from the side, Fray's hand was shaking. His voice is trembling and full of regrets, "Why do you know about him?"
Just after Fray's words, a mysterious dark blue round portal appeared behind Fray and Xen.
