Helvelion and I appeared on Sin's personal Yacht. He was swirling a glass of mead. He took a sip before gesturing to the other two glasses. I took a seat. Helvelion took a seat, his question radiated
“Why do you bring us here, Sin?” Dralton answered with a smile
“I need you to help with a conflict of interest. I will help with the recovery. If stuff enters your Empire. “I let the honey wine flood down my throat slowly. Warmth intoxicated my senses. Helvelion took a sip from his glass. I had a feeling that Sin wanted the First Dominion to enter the conflict, something told me just by how my Oversight made my foresight flash images of what would come when it ended. I understand that I saw something with Sunriel, he would change through the Conflict alone but I know many would change because of it. But I understood that in Kel-Auria with the First Dominion it would bring changes that would end up causing multiple paths to start or end. I shook my head before taking another sip of my mead. The Crimson Emperor glanced at me. Dralton knew what I was seeing, he just leaned against his chair the same Eldari woman stepped in and sat on Dralton's lap wrapping her arms around his neck. Her hair was ruby in color, her eyes were amber with a scarlet rim. I asked her
“Who are you?” She smiled while Sin wrapped one arm around her waist resting his hand on her thigh.
The Eldari woman answered “Itylara Lunira… I remember when, you were training. I must say. You're a skilled maiden. “Upon that answer, I lowered my head in a respectful gesture. Helvelion smiled, he was happy to hear that I made an impact.
“Pleasure to meet you, Itylara… “Sin eyed Helvelion sending a question his way
“Will you be able to bring three hundred of your best with you, and some champions? “Helvelion answered him
“I can but, how can you guarantee that my people won't become a target, in this Conflict of yours? “Sin smiled as he gestured his left hand towards me. I thought to myself of a candidate that would make a Legacy Keeper just to add to the ranks.
“Ivteus Xethys. “Helvelion gazed at me. He knew that name.
“You know that is my son's close friend right? “I nodded, I did know that but Ivteus was a decent Tactical fighter with a Kalibur. He also was good leadership material. I wanted to give Hyperion something that can grant him a seat at the throne when his father's path ends.
[[Personnel Log:]]
{{Name: Ivteus Xethys}}
{{Age: 20,000}}
{{Fighting Style: Vexxa Ragnna {Vexxa Ragnna: This fighting Style is formed over the instincts of its user, the user can edit the style upon a situation change, it is also reliant on heavy and quick strikes to output the maximum damage to one's soul or aura to increase the enemy's body strain before a soul break. This style is taught to the Prince and his own bodyguards so both can combo in unison}}
After the meeting on the Yacht. Xethys had the same amount of training done with me but Dralton watched each spar, one spar was drawn out lasting for a few hundred years before a rest so both of us had the same amount of body strain to resist, also build up from. No matter how much High stress we had, Sin didn't mind suffering in sparring. Each time one of us misstepped. Knuckles dragged across our cheeks.
Sin always said “Stay on rhythm. You fail, you die…. “I always answered with a soft expression
“Aye Lord.” Ivteus answered with an
“As you wish…” His tone was always ice with his language, but I understood he was doing this for Hyperion, Xethys knew I lied in order to favor the First Dominion. I didn't enjoy it either, I was weighed down by the lie itself Dralton knew it because of his Evopathy that was more evolved than mine, Ivteus and I were equal in Evopathy so we ended up reading some things about each other to understand how each movement was
Is this a Trial by fire?” I sent my question out sternly. Dralton was looking outward into the stars, enjoying the flow of Temporal existence.
“A Trial by fire, is something that will destroy your civilization, one of which I have no interest in doing.. This is a Trial by Blood…. “After that answer I shook with frustration. An Trial by Blood isn't any better. I snapped out with my words
“You think none will fall by this ‘Trial by Blood’ you speak of?! I had to hold my words for— “Sin sent his hand across my cheek causing imbalance steps. He stated with permafrost filling his aura's radius
“I expect losses, but I also want to see progress so your people still hold my Interest ... .I do what I do because I don't have a choice. This war is more than you, more than the First Dominion. It is survival for my AUTHORITY… “He motioned his left hand to the Grand Abyss
“My Instruments will attune the waves, and weave, their Paths will Ignite the future flames, I want. Even if other Civilizations need to bleed for it…I will not have a challenge against my Authority… Do I make myself clear? “Sin made sure that statement was clear. I didn't want to challenge it. Ivteus eyed me because of it, I inhaled before exhaling. Xethys’ language changed when he saw what I was wanting to request.
“Dedarus Tymaeus… Why? “I let out a soft breath glancing at Ivteus, Dralton crossed his arms observing silently
“He will be useful. We need a good amount of Legacy Keepers of our kind… “Sin snickered at the statement, he knew what I was doing. I wanted more Dark Eternal or Eternal Legacy Keepers than the Gaians even though I have respect for Creation and Destruction but, The First Dominion was my main loyalty, Dralton knew that, so did Xethys himself. Dralton's expression twisted with delight
“This Dedarus Tymaeus, will be the Legacy Keeper Of Time, but I expect him to use it to favor the Authority.“Ivteus asked with his zealous loyalty blinding him
“Why should we trust your Authority?“ The answer from Sin was sharp and finely straightened.
“Without my Authority or my Faction. Your people will just be another casualty in the war against the Val'Hadar Ascendancy and now Anarchy… The Purist, I intend to make sure that the foundation of your people stay for my own benefit… “Of course Kel-Aurian Imperium politics are bleeding into this but I had a feeling that the War with Anarchy himself was going to be on a need to know basis. Sin smiled when Xethys said nothing else. Sin stepped away and disappeared. He was going to do something.
The next few Millenniums, Ivteus and I trained Dedarus in the Temporal Nexus itself within the Gilded Nexus of Exodia. Tymaeus gained an attunement to the Nexus itself and began to master it. Bolten and Vyktor were notified about it, this very Nexus would act as an operation center for Legacy Keepers. Ivteus Xethys, The Legacy Keeper Of Ultra, Dedarus Tymaeus, Legacy Keeper Of Time. Bolten Raven, Legacy Keeper Of Creation, Vyktor Raven Legacy Keeper Of Destruction. And me, Legacy Keeper Of Memory, the Founding Five, or The Foundation Of the Five
