Soul Lovers

The Visit from Above.

Thunders rolls, lightning flashes in the thick black clouds above, beneath the rolls and the flashes. A towering, wide and menacing white-crystalline barrier which looked impassable stood gallantly above the grounds roughly 100,000 feet high. Passing the low clouds, middle clouds and also the high clouds as all these clouds surrounds it’s layers unable one to see it's peak; From Above it took half of the planet's space and without no doubt it is the largest, longest and the weirdest barrier the King Randall and Priscilla had ever seen.

Priscilla, herself would never believe if she was told about this majestically towering barrier. As for her. ‘Seeing is believing.’

In front of the surprised Priscilla even though she tried not to show it on her face, Randall placed his hand on the menacing white-crystalline barrier. He’d perceived mixtures of strange energy if he could say something about it. This energies are indifferent from the world of Vigors he knew of. He was horrified. Granny Chan placed her hand also.

“Here Randall, my son. Is the ends of the world. Across it is a whole new world nontransparent for the eyes to see. We don’t exactly know what is going on inside; and no one can tell when it will break open.”

The Vigors I feel. It’s… abnormal, vast and dark… so this is what the Nymphs had being covering from all other Kingdoms. He thought then looked at Granny Chan.

“You should have told me all this from the very first day I met you. I the king of Humanes would no choice deployed every powerful humanes to help in protecting this place. Because if things that are within this barrier break through. It may be the end of our world.”

Granny Chan smirked of hope. she turned her wooden staff to Randall armoured chest tapping it thrice with a low clanking sound.

“Are you afraid? Don’t you know the prophecy's all coming together.”

Randall widened his eyes. The dragons that Jared witness was part of it but since then no one has come across a Dragon yet.

“Fear not. Of course we have a cavalry of our own. The protector of the world has been reborn to protect every kinds from the enemies within this barrier just as the prophecy pronounced.”

“The enemies within the barrier. Is it the Beast in the bottomless hole?” Randall asked in curiosity if the legends were true, Granny Chan smirked.

“She had told you what you only need to know.” Someone said behind them.

Randall turned then his eyelids lowered.

“Willian.”

“Randall.”

Willian was the Fat King of the Forest Nymphs Kingdom so was his name called by his mockers. The Father of Dryad, A chubby, bearded King. His face were sprinkled in light brown spots all over just like his son. Before Randall at a little distance, Willian was equipped in his jade armoured figure without a helmet on. He valiantly walked to Randall as his turquoise eyes bored into Randall's.

The rocky soil beneath them levitated within the foggy grounds, causing an aggregating sonic effects between them, the grounds cratered below their feet, behind Randall the little levitating rocks all engulfed in white flames as Willian's gingered hair rose with his beards, his pulpy face slowly shook, the rocks behind him were full of scrubs then vines broke out from the rocks to the ground as though they were vines' seeds inside the rocks, it blooms in all kinds of beautiful flowers from the stone down to the ground. This was how great the fat King of the Forest Nymphs was, he could bring forth vines out of anything and everything.

“Boys~” A female said, approaching them. Both stop what they were doing and stared at the female. Slightly slender. A big bosomed woman in her Irish green straw rope and a peridot shaped like crown on her long straight lemon hair which went down her fair skin shoulders.

She must be the Queen. Priscilla thought. The woman stared back at her with her hooded bright eyes.

“Oh my~ with female this tall and strong we would win the war faster.” She went in front of Priscilla with a raised chin. “tell me woman what’s your name?”

“… …” Priscilla didn’t say a word but just stared back to the Queen.

The Queen smirked. Turned towards the two boys that is; Randall and Willian.

“l love this one.”

“Any words from the Beast Kingdom?” Willian asked. Brushing his big, fluffy ginger beards, side looking Randall in a way to intimidate the King of Humanes' tiny-beards under his chins—This was one of the brags he'd told Randall anytime they meet and which foolishly leads to fight between the two Kings.

“No, Willian. They were grumpy as usual.”

“Hmmm. Seems the creepers are only attracted to this part of the barrier but not the other ends near the Beast Kingdoms.”

“No one tell me until now. So this is truly the ends of the world. The king of Humanes just knowing this. Is uncalled for.” Randall said while looking high to the barrier under the uncleared clouds above. Or should I just fly through the clouds to see it's peak? He said to himself.

“You never asked, you never came, Randall.” Willian said this time wrapping a curl of his gingered beards around his finger.

What the... How is that even possible! Randall thought then ignored Willian's act then replied in a serious manner. “But if I did your customs won’t allow it.”

“Hey boys. Another wave of creepers are coming this way.” The Queen proclaimed as her eyes glows, Randall looked at her then back to Willian beards and... this time Willian was already wrapping his five fingers with curls of his beards while raising his eyebrows to the direction of Randall—With a see-how-great-my-beards-Look!—

Randall sniffed silently.

“Leave them to us and tell your hunters to stand back.” He said while Priscilla followed him behind as his cape swayed.

Willian scoffed.

“Show off; don’t forget, let’s talk about the things between my hunters and my son within those big kingdom walls of yours.”

Randall levitated, spotted an unusual pale skin beings having a grotesque, pock-marked face with a bulging eyes, snarling from miles away as they plodded towards them.

“I see them. Take the front line, I will take the center.” Randall commanded.

“Yes my King.” Priscilla bashed her hands together as she walked with a smirked, “You can leave them to me. All of them!” Then she leaped at the same height with the king’s levitation.

Without a doubt, Aurorae beings are full of courage, determination and nimbleness. Randall thought with a smile as she landed in front of the creepers with great force that causes a scar marking crater on the ground, altering the creepers from moving any closer, they all stopped at the bravery sight of Priscilla. Without hesitating she punched the foggy rocky grounds again creating a widespread impacts which follows as the fog from the ground dissipated along with the cratered rocky ground so deep it looked more of a drilled hole but when spreading to the humongous barrier the effects from her punched immediately went deaden.

Randall flew down at the center of the creepers engulfed in his white flames it burnt every creepers around him with ease then he stood still and looked around slightly saddened by those getting burnt because he knew they were once Nymphs. Suddenly one of the creepers flew through the white flames behind him, grabbing onto his cape. Without warning the creeper's arm went on fire then his whole body got enflamed immediately. Randall turned as he examined the creeper burning with snarling cries on the floor then glanced at the remaining creepers around him.

“Now they should be scared.”

Randall said to himself. Turned and walked to the towering barrier as the creepers gave way for him like though he had the domination over them. Little did Randall knew it’s all lies on the cape.

“The pressure exerted from this barrier is out of this world and the creepers coming here could possibly be the reason.” He placed his hand on the towering barrier, “Does that means it’s radiation was the cause of the epidemic to the grotto Nymphs? Or… “

All of a sudden Randall found himself lifted up.

From afar he could hear Priscilla yelling,

“My King!”

He rolled his eyes to Priscilla as she ran towards him.

“Why is she shouting?” then he perceived something strange behind him before anything a huge fist hit him to the towering, wide and menacing white-crystalline barrier with a loud blast that echoed throughout the Forest Nymphs Kingdom.

Willian, Granny Mimosa and the Queen with other hunters with them turned their heads towards the ear-splitting sound wave.

“What was that sound just now?” Willian asked, suddenly, a shiver went up to the Queen’s spine as she staggered—this had never happened to her before, this feeling was beyond explanatory.

“An... An—An Egregious being just entered our world?!" She gasped.
