~~~(POV: Saliandra Orvello)~~~
~~~(Location: Desert, The Continent of Alforza)~~~
~~~(Time: 1:56 PM)~~~
Whatever Cera is learning, it can\'t be anything good. The generals are becoming more worried as time passes. They haven\'t spoken much, but the few times have been about General Geledes and how a shift in the air has occurred.
Since this isn\'t reality for Cera and me, we wouldn\'t feel this shift in the air. All we\'re doing is watching history. Not taking part in it. General Ulizere is actually showing signs of impatience.
Pacing back and forth and creating a small divet in the sand from his nervousness. The generals aren\'t giving him grief over it. Each of them are showing their own unique ticks of unease. Taping their fingers on their arms, rolling their necks. Stuff like that.
"It\'s been a few minutes, and the energy of this place has already shifted. I sense a fight on the horizon."
General Rufeal speaks his mind about what\'s happening. My eyes shift toward the town where Cera is currently located. Looking for clues and answers on his own. There isn\'t much time left. Something is going to happen.
We\'re being shown this for a reason. Whatever that reason is, I have no idea what it could possibly be. Perhaps some great battle? Maybe an event that marks the end of the Empire of Yelized. Cera is more curious about all this than I am.
That\'s not to say I\'m not, but his thirst for knowledge and information has always been and will always be greater than my own. It\'s who he is.
"Shall we contact General Geledes and have him come back? We should all be here when we make the call to retreat."
They\'re convinced the only action at this point in time is to retreat if combat should occur. All of a sudden, I see Cera fly into the sky in the distance and make his way to me. He lands and rushes over.
There is a look of concern and excitement on his features. He holds my shoulders and looks into my eyes.
"Something is about to happen. The soldiers in the town are being heavily affected by whatever is beneath the sand."
As he finishes talking, the sand slowly starts to shift under the feet of everyone here. Everyone except Cera and myself. Some soldiers stumble and fall, and others struggle to stay standing.
"Hold fast, men! Prepare to retreat on my orders!"
General Ulizere makes sure everyone can hear him, and the magical carriage that\'s housing the Emperor slowly floats up and turns to leave at the sign of the coming conflict. Before anything else can be done, the town known as Kelizei is destroyed by a beam of light.
It doesn\'t make sense, but that\'s what happens. Once everyone is done shielding their eyes, a new shifting in the sands occurs.
From where the town once resided, a great creature rises from it. Its neck is long and jagged like a dragon. It stretches into the sky. It\'s the size of a mountain range. It\'s blue in coloring, and long tendrils wave in nonexistent air.
"Oh my God..."
The words that leave Cera\'s lips are what I\'m feeling right now too. I\'ve never seen such a great monster. I honestly don\'t know what it is, and I\'m about to use Inspect on it to get the information.
~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~
~~~(Location: Desert, The Continent of Alforza)~~~
~~~(Time: 2:02 PM)~~~
I had no idea such a creature existed in The Ancients World. This has to be a world boss of some kind. Given this is only a recording, we won\'t be able to fight it. But that doesn\'t mean I can\'t learn about it from an Inspection.
[Rahab Lvl. ???][The Last of The Leviathans][Tier-???]
[Health: ???/???]
[Description: Rahab, The Last of The Leviathans and the creature who ended The Yelized Empire. Long forgotten to time and history, many don\'t even know he existed at one point. Let alone still alive. Rahab resides in The Great Deserts of Alforza. Which was once a great ocean.]
[Additional Description: It\'s said that there was no creature outside of the Divine Gods that could stand against The Leviathans. In The Great War of the Gods, The Leviathans sided with The Old Gods. All except for Rahab.]
[Additional Description: All Laviathans perished in The Great War of the Gods. Rahab is the last of his kind. The Yelized Empire was destroyed in a war with Rahab. All of their tamed dragons were destroyed in the process. The knowledge of taming dragons was lost with them.]
As I read the plethora of information, I can\'t help feeling a little light-headed. An actual Leviathan. Rahab. I heard rumors about a Leviathan in some of the old posts back on Earth, but nothing that actually confirmed the existence of one.
"We\'re all going to die..."
My attention is taken by the words coming from General Ulizere. I don\'t blame him for such a reaction. I couldn\'t beat this creature. Not as I am. It\'s far more powerful than I.
In the final moments of the recording, Rahab lunges into the air and at the army. Right before the mountain range-sized beast lands is when the recording ends.
Sally and I are brought back to the real world. Standing inside the empty town of Modest. However, there is a large shadow cast on us from behind. I slowly turn, and Rahab looks down at us. He lowers his head and comes closer.
"Ancient Blood flows in your veins... Not as old as mine, but the scent of Divinity is pouring from you... Who are you?"
The voice is old and slow. So deep and powerful, he shakes the sand and my body with every word. Sally moves closer to me and wraps an arm around me.
"I\'m Angel Zern. Son of Arch-Angel Michael."
The giant eyes squint ever so slightly.
"Raduerial... That is the name of Michael\'s Son... If you are truly his Son, you should know this..."
That name again... I don\'t know what significance it holds... But my name has only ever been Cera Adamo. That\'s my name.
"No, Raduerial is a name I don\'t know."
A long breath comes from the nose of Rahab, and it\'s cold like winter. His head raises to the sky, showing off its intimidating size. I feel small. Like I could be crushed with a single step. That a single attack from Rahab could end me.
"You lie, child... Your thoughts aren\'t hidden from me..."
Mind reading powers? It\'d make sense for such a strong creature. The name is something I\'ve heard in my dreams recently. They\'re frequent, but if that was my name, I\'d know.
A part of me knows it\'s possible it\'s another name for me. One that represents something else here on Gaia. The strongest beings have multiple names.
"What do you know of your history, child..."
My history?
"I don\'t know what you\'re talking about. I\'m a Player from Earth."
Rahab is unreadable from his appearance. I can\'t know what he was thinking even if I wanted to. He has the advantage of knowing what I\'m thinking. I don\'t like it, but there is nothing I can do about it.
"So, they haven\'t told you yet... Well, let\'s just say there is something else that you must see on this day..."
Before I can say anything in response, Sally and I are thrown back into another recording. This time, We\'re on a forested hill looking at a grand capital in the distance. A capital fitting an Empire.
"Cera... I\'m starting to get worried..."
She\'s not the only one. I wasn\'t expecting to run into a Leviathan from a forgotten time. No one expects that.
