“Greetings leader of the Shapeshifters, what brings you here to our village?” Lisandro ask
“Looks like the rumors were true, you really can predict the future” the intruder said as he reveals his true identity
Lisandro offers him a seat and instructed the patrollers to leave them be
“Look I am begging you can’t we just get along like how we all used to?”
“You can see into the future, right? Surely the future is bright for us” the shapeshifter said
“Yes it is bright, so bright that I can’t see through it any more”
“Don’t worry your people will continue to leave on mark my word” Lisandro said
“But what about the current situation?”
“My people needs to survive” the shapeshifter said
“You don’t have to worry just abide my instructions and your people will be feed for days to come, they will never be hungry nor thirsty” Lisandro said
“Tell me! I’ll do anything just to save my people”
“I don’t want to see them die because of my leadership” the shapeshifter begged
“Your people never doubted you young man. So don’t say that, okay”
“Now follow these instructions and you shall be revered for years to come” Lisandro said as he stands up then walks to the terrace, surprisingly he can manage on his own
“Come” Lisandro wait which made the shapeshifter quickly follow him
“You see how horrible everyone’s situation is right now”
“We can never put an end to this if corrupted minds are everywhere. Spreading toxicity throughout the nation. The only way out is to remove it from its roots”
“It may sound a bit harsh but this is the only future that has the most desirable outcome”
“May the future generation lead by example and reunite everyone and rebuild the nation we once had”
“I am now begging you to infiltrate the god’s’ realm and tell them that Lisandro and his men is about to launch an attack and if they ask how did you knew tell them that you spied on us”
“Once you delivered the message hurry back at your town and light up that post over there”
“That will be the signal for my men to attack the neighboring city and I want you to evacuate yours”
“Everything will be depend on how good you act so make it as convincing as possible”
“Now go young one” Lisandro said
The shapeshifter then transforms into a bird then takes off.
After nearly an hour the shapeshifter successfully infiltrates the god realm. He changes his appearance to blend in and make his way inside. He then ran into Emre the Good of the Heavens
“Help us!” the shapeshifter begged with his knees on the ground
Emre was confused but his weariness immediately fades as the shapeshifter revealed its true identity
“Please help us! The Occuluses will launch and attack to their neighboring town and our clan is one of it”
“So please of merciful god please help my people” He begged
“And how will I know if what you are saying is correct”
“Do you have any evidence that you can show to me” Emre said with suspicion
“Sorry but I don’t have anything tangible for you to see and hold”
“I only heard it from Lisandro himself during one of the staff meeting” the shapeshifter said
“And how did you become part of that said meeting?” Emre ask with suspicion
“I disguised myself” He said with full conviction while looking into Emre’s eyes without a flinch
Emre then snaps his fingers which makes an awfully disturbing noise. Guards then blocks every possible exit
“And how could we tell that you’re not just luring us out?” Emre said with full suspicion
Then one of the guards rushed in and shouted
“Everyone, take up arms, the Occuluses are attacking the main capital!”
“Tsk!” Emre reacted
He turned his back at the shapeshifter then went on his way. The shapeshifter quickly changed into a bird then took off. Next destination is their town. He swopes down and grabs the torch, he lights up the highest post signaling the Occuluses to start attacking the neighboring villages and towns. He then rallies up everyone and made then quickly evacuate
Clueless as they are they just obeyed what their leader is instructing
“Elder, what is happening?” one of the villagers ask
“The Occuluses are attacking the other tribes and they are heading this way” He answered
“Where are we off too?” another villager ask
“Right now I am not sure let’s just hope that the gods are watching over us” He said
“Fire!” an Occulus shouted then numerous burning bows where shoot into the sky
“Look at them abusing Lisandro’s future sight”
“Looks like this is the end of us” the god of the land said
“No, this is not the end but only the beginning”
“Prosperity will come and the nation will rise once more”
“Let’s just see what fate can do” a guy wearing a robe covering his entire face said
“Who’s that guy?” I ask as I point out the guy wearing a robe
“That’s Master Azazel” Veronica said
“Fate? I don’t believe such nonsense. Everything is based on the outcome of your actions.”
“If you’re just going to watch and wait for the Occulusses to take over then suit yourselves.”
“I don’t care if Lisandro can look into the future. I am going to rewrite it” A human said
“Count us in” the other gods said
With no time to waste they burst into the battlefield and started suppressing the Occuluses
“What about you three aren’t you going to join them?” Azazel ask
“Well I really don’t care about the lower class tribes”
“As long as my people are safe I don’t want to et involve” Emre said
“What about you two?” Azazel ask
“You can never win against fate”
“Foolish Azir thinking he can rewrite what is destined to happen, how amusing”
“I just want to watch how things will turn out and I’ll make my move basing on the current situation”
“I know Lisandro is willing to use all his pawns just to win the endgame” the demon said
“But he isn’t sacrificing no one”
“All of his men are willing to take up arms and with or without his command the war will go on” Azazel said
“You really know everything do you?” the living shadow said
“My words are not prophetic like Lisandro’s eyes”
“I just have this feeling on what’s going to happen next” Azazel said
“Well it’s nice listening to your wisdom Azazel”
“But whatever happens this nation will never be the same again”
“No one can establish a nation that has no flaws, because if it is possible then we don’t have to resort to these”
“It’s only a matter of time before the others wipe out the Occuluses. I think he can’t win this war, not by a long shot. No one in the mind would went up a against a god and to think he threatens every last one of us” a living shadow said
“Not unless he is intending to lose on purpose” Emre said
Azazel then smiles and the two gods looks awfully disturbed
“You don’t say”
“Well I’m off” the living shadow said then he vanishes
“Well I’ll be heading off as well there is no point in staying here anyway” Emre said then he left
“Azazel, how much do you know about the current situation?” the demon ask
“Well to tell you frankly I don’t know what future lies ahead of us”
“Everything I say is pure speculation and it is up to the listeners if they believe me or not”
“Tell me are you afraid of dying?” Azazel ask
“Death? A word that only comes to mortals but for us gods we are being reincarnated into a new host but the power and mana is still the same” the demon said
“But do you remember your past life?”
“I don’t think so”
“As time passes by our memories of the past are being overwritten with the present ones”
“It is up to you if you keep the past or you keep the present”
“If you ask me I would rather choose death than to live. Dying is easy but believe me livin is harder” Azazel said
“And you are telling me this because?” the demon ask
“Your future descendant will play a vital role in saving this nation” Azazel said then walks to the doorway
“Wait!” the demon shouted
Azazel then vanishes
The epic war at the royal capital between the gods and the Occuluses didn’t last long because the Occuluses surrendered the moment that the gods showed up. Azir was pissed and he was about to s*******r everyone but the other gods stopped him. It would put dirt on the gods if they allowed that to happen. The best option is to banish them all. They imprisoned every last one then went to the lowlands to check what is the current situation of their nation
