Book 6, Chapter 57 – The Cloud God's Warning

Skycloud Meadow Highonmere Praelius

After the Great War, six Elysian lands were established Meadow aside, there were four other realms as yet undiscovered

If the aim was to take over and cleanse Skycloud, ould Sumeru first send warriors fro with it personally? The thought crossed Aquaria's mind and in that instant the Cloud God answered

“There are lireat deal of time for the Gods to make the trip here from Mount Sumeru Should they be dispatched this instant, it would still be a while before they arrive”

This news did not ease Aquaria's downtrodden spirits The Gods , but there were four Godly real the the threat of the realms they led Demonhunters – perhaps even Master De on the other side of the Boundary Portal as they spoke Pitted against a weakened Skycloud, the coht of those forces would easily sweep them away

Another question crept its way into her head The Cloud God was a these er on their literal doorstep? Was this a decision their patron did not agree with?

Rather than returning to the Te Selene, the Cloud God took succor here at the waterfall and warned theic did not seem to make any sense

In truth, the Cloud God's actions were born of helplessness

It was still connected to theall of its species What it severed was the i the ability to look into others All the changes in divine thought were clear and at its fingertips This was how Skycloud's patron knew the dangers this realm faced

“For many reasons, in my current condition I cannot return to the Gods Should the other four Supreh that I will also succu, but the shock on their faces was clear

For a thousand years the Cloud God was Skycloud's protector, but he acted as though he was also in danger Was there even killing a the Gods?

The Cloud God had been wrapped into a conspiracy between Wolfblade and Arcturus

Upon collecting the De's skull, Cloudhaas ihts and visions was a poison – one that Skycloud's former Governor and the Elder demon kneould slip into the Cloud God's ed that the deity would delve into Cloudhawk's thoughts

Suddenly, the Cloud God understood , its reale Where had the Gods come from? What were Gods? Did they really share a common ancestry with demons? Why was the history of its species hidden? What was the purpose of their existence?

All of these were questions it had never been forced to consider before Concepts none of the Gods had ever explored

It see to the Shepherd God – all the Gods were locked away fro their breadth of thinking, preventing the curious

When it touched the De's memories, that seal was broken At last the Cloud God's o where it wished As a reaction, it partially sequestered itself froe was done The Shepherd God had spoken true Even if that connection was restored, the Cloud God would never be welco would never tolerate a poisoned creature like… hi that connection, in breaking that seal… had that transformed him into a demon? True or not, he could not accept it He had to find some way to reconnect, to wrest back his Godly identity!

When the other four Supremes arrived, the Cloud God would be in dire trouble He had to concoct so fully But he couldn't do it alone, this was a job for these ht of a way to restore the seal

Aquaria asked, “Can Selene be returned to nores the this process is very difficult” The Cloud God's solemn voice echoed in their minds “However, it is not impossible The power of the avatar and Selene's own are comparable If we can free her from the transformative relics in time, there is a chance her will can overcome”

The two humans fell silent Selene's powers came from her eyes… would they have to remove them? Was that the only way to save her?

The Cloud God's body began to disappear into the mists around the waterfall “When the Boundary Portal opens fully it will herald Skycloud's destruction Ti, whether you succeed will depend on your own efforts There is no further help that I can give”
