â - ; Fear. Over the course of millions of years of evolution, humanity and humans as a whole had come up with intricate and immediate responses to anything that happened to them in their daily lives, whether they be positive or negative. For every person there was a distinct reaction they would perform in response to something akin to danger or worry. For some, it could simply be running and crying. Others might find themselves frozen in place. Fear was an all encompassing emotion that every living being had to deal with in some point of their lives, but what exactly they feared was vastly different and typically on a case by case standard. And for the longest of times, it could be believed that there was not one thing that could be universally feared. Even something like death, some found comfort in its sweet embrace and cherish the final moments of it. But as for what brings it, was a separate matter entirely.Â
â - ; Percival recalls Pandemonium. He recalls the blight of fallen angels that darken the skies and seek to taint it. He recalls the fighting to such an extreme and the overwhelming odds against them and remembers the limits everyone involved in the ensuing chaos pushed themselves beyond for the miracle that their skies may return to them. He recalls most, if not all of it. But, there is one thing he does not recall. One moment in the climax of the event that some would consider luckâs grace that him and everyone involved were not there for. The absolute decisive fight against the Astral turned God that through the determination and unwavering resolve of those there that allowed them to push through and seal him and his right hand in a dimensional rift. Never to be seen again.
â - ;Â Chaos in this city always seemed to run rampant in this city no matter what time of day it was. A series of wires that needed to be cut to eliminate whoever was in power of the city for a spare moment seemed to be the only thing that Percival had to be worried about, along with whatever may find themselves aligning with the enemy at hand. For a moment, Percival saw this mess as a rather.. uneasy matter. For some reason, the size and mass of this event seemed more than he realized but perhaps it was the exhaustion getting to him. After all, among all of the damage and all of the fighting he had thus seen so far seemed no different than how this city otherwise operated. So then.. why did his heart quiver so badly?Â
â - ; Days go by without rest  but he feels as if the fighting will come to an end soon enough. As he prepares to head out and sees the multitude of enemies strewn about the city, a look of annoyance crosses his face. Itâs a misshapen group of bandits taking advantage of the chaos to loot and steal as they will. Percivalâs grip on his blade tightens and he swings with all of his might. What occurs after comes to a surprise as he sees a trail of flame leaving his blade, incinerating the clothing and flesh of the bandits in a single strike, causing them to scatter. He looks down and realizes something is off as heâs gained full control of his abilities but his reflexes are quick to kick in. He turns around and swings his blade but his eyes go wide at the sight of what heâs cut in half.
â - ;Â Itâs a cherubim. One of thousands he remembers cutting down on that fateful day as they fly down from the skies in droves, assaulting the ground he stands on. Thereâs no mistake as the tightening in his chest begins to grip his hold on reality as he starts swinging at them more wildly to rid the city of them. For a brief moment he thinks to himself that this might all just be coincidental. That their appearance is none other than another one of the cityâs farces playing games with his mind. That of anything to appear before him in this moment.. it would at the very least be nothing on the level of him.Â
â - ; And yet what falls from the sky next paralyzes Percival for a second. For it is no enemy that catches his sight. It is no creature that he focuses on. No. It is simply the soft falling of silken black feathers that slowly drop to the ground around his feet that he realizes the skies have all but parted entirely for the descent destruction incarnate, the apocalypse shaped like man. The cherubim all seem to stop for a moment in realization as Percival stands by himself in the empty streets as the bask of the sun illuminate the figure of a lone man--nay, a god, omnipotence given form. With twelve black wings that give him suspension in the air, he looks down at the lone Dragon Knight, while the cherubim float in place around him.
â - ;Â They give praise, for he has no equal. They worship him, for a god has returned to the world. The skies cower in fear, for he will not forgive any vice. And those who realize it, worship him, as they realize their fate is overwritten. Lucilius, as he realizes there is but a single entity before him, unleashes a weight unlike any other with a simple scowl that almost seems to deprive the land of any life on his arrival.Â
â Your callous disregard of being before me is a plight. Be gone, into the depths of oblivion. âÂ
â - ; Percival stands alone before a god reborn, his hand still clutched tightly over the handle of his blade.Â
â ... Impossible. This might actually be impossible..! â
