Rovena: Do it now Lady Kaire!

The holy light shined the earth, but most of the light was descended on the powerful man. The moment of truth was coming, Kaire raised her arms on the sky. The man didn't move, not a bit like he didn't care that he was about to be hit from a world item that belonged to the Six Great Gods.

Rovena: Go now!

The holy shining dragon came out from the dress and rose to havens. It changed direction and was heading towards the powerful man. Rovena and Astrologer were praying to the gods for the item to have an effect upon the man. If it didn't have, then this will be the end for the Black Scripture... for humanity.

The man was hit, all the remaining members of the Black Scripture felt it. It made light so much that everyone needed to close and protect their eyes. The sacred item of the Gods was potent that  one can resist it, not even undead beings that were immune to mind-control magic.

The sacred light now begins to fade away, restoring again the night sky. Everyone was waiting to see the result. The man was just standing there, the light in his eyes had disappeared. Nobody moved because they were not sure if the god artifact had an effect.

Astrologer: Did it work?

Rovena: I don't know. Lady Kaire give that monster an order to make sure he is under the control of the artifact.

Kaire: Boy make three steps forward.

The man obeyed and made three steps forward as Kaire commanded him. Everyone felt relieved. Finally, the monster that had killed their comrades was under the control of the sacred item and they can order him to do what they want.

Rovena and Astrologer hugged each other and tears came out from their eyes. The nightmare was finally over, but it cost them too much. There were no cries of joy and celebration only cries of pain and mourning.

Rovena: Thank the gods this is over.

3rd seat: As expected of you Lady Kaire. You managed to control this powerful monster. (He said praising her.)

Zesshi didn't speak but was just staring at the man.

Kaire: Don't thank me, thank the mighty Gods that have left behind their treasures to protect humanity. (She said while sitting down on the ground because she was exhausted from all this.)

Rovena: It is as you say my lady but our friends...
(She said falling on her knees crying.)

Kaire: I don't know about young Antonio, but we might bring the others back with resurrection magic.

Astrologer: Yes we have to gather them in a safe location and send a message to the other scriptures to come and send...

The words of Astrologer were cut...no the world was cut.

Kaire: Ah children when all this is all over I'm going to retire from duty... (She said before stopping)

Kaire felt something wasn't right. Everything was silent, she couldn't even felt the wind. She saw around and nobody was moving or saying a word. They were just staying there like statues. She even saw two birds that were frozen in the sky, this was really strange.
