Project Schemer: Higeki's chapter: Requiem

Arc 4 - Chapter 2: Guidance of the star.

"Doctor, a man from the city again."

"Very well... but next time, only speak to them when an adult come with you, who know what those adult will do to you."

"We are eighteen not eight doctor."

"I am insist."

"Alright doctor, next time we will wait for the adult."

Obnoxious and annoying as always, demand to know about why we are worshipping an entity that isn't the saviour. Of course i can be antagonizing but that isn't necessary, smooth talking and that is everything i need to do, the man carry the decision of the city leaders, they wanted the haven to stop worshipping this new god. They fear, they showed their fear for the power that they can't control, the power of nature that remain as a terror to them, they need to control this power of nature, water and frost but my creator wasn't the type of person who will bow before someone. The rage when he is inside me, i can feel all of that, god are created based on people's belief but a god was destroyed long ago so there will be no chance for him to comeback. They used the saviour to deceive people and now, i just simply do something that they can't, sending faith to a god.

"We don't worship anyone... or you are just trying to cover the fact that you can't stop the progress of nature."

"You know too much, if you are still a citizen of Altoris, you should know the only one who you should worship is the saviour."

"Worship a perfectionist, but i think this is enough, don't you have other mission like... finding the conductor ?"

Just a simple quote to send them off. In the haven, everything is prepared, even the moment the city decided to attack, they would fail as always since we always prepare to defend against anything. Theta keeps us informed about the movement of the city, they are recovering but after every meeting they can't reach their final conclusion. Even acting as a puppet, Orcress is a beacon of faith for the city, corrupted adult using a child as their tool... even you make me feel disgust Saviour, your work is miracle and you use that miracle as your own tool. The assistance i provided, the amazing escape we made, with the appearance and the words of this man, i never regret those decisions, those corrupted adults, they fill me nothing but hatred. I must tell the children to be extra careful.

"My child... finally... i can see you."

"Are you... Higeki ?"

"Nothing can describe my feeling right now, finally, it has been so long, and all i can do is watch, look at that day, it cause me nothing more but pain."

"I always walk on this world not knowing my purpose, so, can you tell me my purpose, why you created me ?"

"My desire was very simple, i created you to free me but in the end, i want something more, i want you to live with joy and happiness. The moment i return to that world, i want you to live in a place like my world, like Arborine."

"Father, can you give me a favor ?"

"Anything for you my dear child."

"Orcress, he only have twenty years, can you let him live for twenty years ?"

"The child who gave away his immortality right ? I am surprise like you were, never know he was controlled, a puppet for those people. I was imprisoned until professor Musouka save me but that child, no one save him..."

"I know prolong someone's life is hard but i just want meaningful twenty years for him... and do you know where is Tomoe ?"

"Something wrong ?"

"The day i lost my arm and he gone berserk, after that day he never appear again."

And then father explain everything to me and everything is exactly how i think it should be, Tomoe doesn't show himself because of shame and also another reason, Tomoe is punished because of his action against the cycle. The day he choose to leave Arborine is the day he become a god of Altoris, his existance and his power is manifested because of the faith that i have for him. But that battle, he appear in his full form and that action against the rule of this world, and that cost father some of his power to save him from the punishment. Driven by guilt and shame, Tomoe remain hidden so he doesn't mess anything up again. By father is father, the god of music and harmony and he never consider emotion to be a bad thing but this time, with enough faith he wants to do that again, he wants to find Tomoe himself.

Father will manifest soon, with all these faith, the impact on the world is visable, the air is warmer and for the first time in many years, the sun is visable, snow is slowly melting and the air is being purified. Father's power is beyond belief but again, this is faith of everyone in the haven, this is the faith of the people of this world, for the sun to shine and the light return. There is nothing they can do to stop us, their peace treaty become their own chain, i always thought i have to destroy that organization so i can save father but right now, that isn't necessary, we can just move forward on our own. It is so simple to abandon them in darkness and destruction of this world. It is so easy to move forward, to forget the pain they inflicted on us, to move toward a bright future where we can do anything we desire. And most of all, Orcress is tired and he only has twenty years left in his life, i want those twenty years exist as the best years in his life. Another war will bring far too many pain to us, the air is clear, the sun is shining so why not explore the rest of world and find a place where we can live in peace.

"You know, everyone will follow you, you are their doctor and now, you are their priest, a beacon of faith, they will follow you even when we go through hell."

"I don't want anyone suffer."

"I know you don't want that but i also know you are not the type of person that always find another way to deal with the problem."

"You always understand me and your advice always work."

"I am your father afterall, an agent or not, the bond we forged can't be erased that easily. So what is your decision ?"

"A word of delight."

Winter end and spring come, the air is much warmer now, faith is being restored and the city... as always, fear reflected in their eye. With the warmer air, we can start planting vegetable outside and we don't have to use the greenhouse, Gamma's factory and he is really busy. Omega and Gamma is living in the factory and they rarely leave to join in any meeting, they are improving equipment because Alpha already predict this long ago, clashing faith will result in a war. A war that drag everyone into absolute misery, that is the reason why we have to prepare everything. Sigma even check everything twice, recount everything and make sure everything is in their places, not something like an obsession for perfection. Carefully check everything and everything is in their places is necessary to prevent some accidents like cross contamination, that can ruin the effort of everyone.

The movement of the city is reported, it is not something that we didn't expect but this is quite annoying since they started to act, the city decided they need to act to stop this. To prepare for father's sacred descent, everything should be prepared carefully, but for now, he should be on his way to find his beloved part of him, that person who will do everything to protect the one he holds dear. And our part, we have to prepare to end this war and end everything that torment us for far too long, father's voice and his guidance tell me where to strike. The blue observe everything, they think they can stay in the shadow but father drag them into the light, and with his guidance, Theta know where to look, WORLD have an underground faculty, we can't have access to that place but we know far too well what are they hiding in there.

"So what should be our next move."

"Direct attack that underground faculty is far too dangerous."

"You shouldn't use that weapon."

"I know when to calm down, to think they are this disgusting... i want to use it but this will cause more lost than what we can gain from this war."

"They will act soon."

"Alpha ?"

"They will act because they know when Higeki descend, everything that they built, they lie they created, everything will be gone for good. They will act and they will go all out, i believe Omega and Gamma are creating something in the workshop and beside, we can still use the weapon to defend the haven."

"Alpha, i have a report."

"Alright, we are in need of your information too Theta."

The city's belief is slowly shifting toward the god of music and harmony, Harr Organization is a name for that organization in the past. Now they are the church of the blue star, their belief is same as the belief in the haven but compare to us, they are much more extreme in fight against those who tried to surpress their faith. Apparently their leader also can perform thaumaturgy through an event called the descent, their leader can control water and snow but that is for a limited duration. The descent happen when the city attack the church, not like Tomoe and i can create water and ice blades but the leader used a different form of water manipulation. According to Theta, the form that their leader used are a lot of strings and neeedles. Even with the descent they still struggle and an idea come to me.

"We will meet the church of the blue star."
