Infinity: Rising of the Soul Weavers

*Find My Way - Albert Vishi [NCS] *

'Uhm,' Raven nodded without arguing. She knew that going in blindly would only be the end of her. 'Kay, do you think I was wrong when I thought that angels came from the edge of the Solar System?'

'What do you mean?' Kayla asked.

'Hm, think about it; through my Soul Peering Eyes, I can clearly see countless souls covering the entire Solar System.

'Although I have previously concluded that they are angels, it may be something else. So what if the situation is not as bad as we think?' Raven asked, hopeful.

'No, it doesn't work that way…' Kayla quickly disagreed. Although she was feeling sorry for Raven, she didn't want her to have any false hopes, so she explained herself.

*Sigh*

'Let us go through it slowly, we have two possibilities to the situation we see now: first, what you just said is right, and the angels indeed come from these portals and not from the edge of the Solar System. And second, is that what you said is wrong, and they do indeed come from the edge or even outside the Solar System.

'Now, let's consider the first possibility; if they do indeed come from the portals alone, then the situation we have on our hands is more desperate because… doesn't that mean that we have two enemies?

'However, I don't think this is the case because humans have always surveyed space and they've never found any other life in the Solar System, so why now? 

'And even if you don't consider those extra life forms you can detect and simply look at these portals… don't you think that the number of angles has suddenly become unknown? What if there are more?'

Raven's face suddenly got paler inside the white mask. 

'And how about if they do indeed come from outside the Solar System, is that better?' She quickly asked, hoping that the situation wasn't as desperate as she was imagining.

'Let me ask you this,' Kayla said with a grim expression. 'Why haven't we been able to teleport to the edge of the Solar System- no, let me rephrase that; why haven't we been able to travel more than a few millions of kilometres from Earth?'

'Because we are not fast enough…' Raven could not even finish her sentence before feeling despair taking over.

'Uhm, exactly,' Kayla nodded. 'So, the most likely possible answer here is that the angels have an individual who is strong and fast enough to cross massive distances and create portals in order to transfer their army-'

Kayla suddenly stopped talking as she noticed tears escaping Raven's golden eyes, inside the mask.

'Rave, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to…' Kayla was suddenly left in a tough situation.

She didn't mean to say as much as she did. It was merely her habit of being Frank with Raven at all times.

"Kay… I am afraid…" she suddenly said in a pitiful voice. Luckily, no angels were around at this time, otherwise, things would not have gone easily for them.

Taking a deep breath, Kayla created a clone and quickly hugged Raven, trying to make her feel better. But she knew it was useless.

"Please, don't cry, you'll make me cry too…" Kayla whispered. 

"But-" Raven didn't know what to do. She has always been in bad situations, but none was as bad as this one. If they fail here, it simply means extinction!

"Good grief…" A third voice sounded as a hint of crimson aura surrounded the duo. "Stop acting like this, am I not your trump card? Did you forget who I am? Trust me, no matter how powerful an angel is, they can't defeat a monarch, and I am a monarch!"

"Tu… how sure are you?" Raven asked in a whisper, tears still clouding her golden eyes.

"A hundred percent," he answered almost instantly. "Is that enough of a guarantee?"

"Really?" She asked, sniffing like a little girl.

"Yep, you just have to trust me!" Tu insisted. "There are many things that you don't know in this world. I will naturally tell you when the time comes, but what you really need to know for now is that a Monarch is unmatched in a Solar System.

"In fact, in some Solar Systems, monarchs are the true rulers of everything! They are worshipped as gods and no one can challenge their rule!"

"Huh, then why aren't you ruling everything? Wouldn't that make everything a lot easier?" Raven asked.

"Little Rave, I was trapped in your body, and then decided to follow you, did you forget?" He asked, helplessly. He could feel the despair in her voice.

"Wait, so that person who beat you, it was my dad, right? Is he a monarch as well?"

"Hm, it's hard to tell. I lost to your father because I had lost an important thing that without it, I can't exert my full strength." He answered. "However, maybe you do have a point, your father might have been borrowing the power of a monarch, if he wasn't one himself… anyhow, that's not the point. 

"I simply wanted you to stop crying, let me focus on my part, and I'll join the battle whenever you're in danger, so don't fear anything!"

"But what if another angel monarch came? Would you not lose then?"

*Sigh*

"Little Rave, I told you there are many things that you don't know. One such thing is that angels don't have monarchs amongst them, well, only the Supreme Deity is a monarch level existence. 

"In the Solar System where monarchs rule, the Supreme Deity is normally dead, or rather killed by the ruling monarch. 

"I doubt the Supreme Deity would take action in punishing a simple planet such as Earth, so I don't think we have to worry about that. Right now, you have to go do your part, and when you need me, I'll be there for you!"

"Uhm, I understand," Raven said while taking a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. "One last question…"
