Chapter 669 (1/2)

Book 6, Chapter 61 – The Power of the Four Realms

The Avatar watched Cloudhawk abscond with the prisoners She made no effort to pursue him – in fact she seeone Arcturus, Skye, Ramiel… they had all perished Phain and his like were not weaklings, but nor could they hold a candle to the old guard When coainst the War God Skye, or Phain's predecessor Vulkan, he was hardly worth noting

Selene's goals had been realized The Temple's Boundary Portal was opened What did it matter if a few small minnows slipped the net? They were no threat and thus could be ignored

The Avatar peered coldly down upon thein terror The city still quaked and its people scrambled around like ants A sneer crept into her face If there was any trace of the real Selene left, she would have killed herself before taking joy in the suffering of her countrymen

But now Selene was the Avatar The Avatar was Selene HerThe combination of divine mental power and mortal will is what created the Avatar

Likewise, the coth and Selene's natural abilities er final product Selene's person had been entirely inherited, conveying unto the Avatar her strength, tenacity, resilience and sub's all-powerful mind had imprinted itself on her The Avatar was completely subservient to the will of its maker All orders had to be followed

It was this ily loyal to the God King Selene would reth so her self-control was a 's poas beyond ift frohty deity, the Avatar commanded no less respect than a Supreht over the ravaged city Dozens of figures appeared fro over the center of Skycloud They hit the ground with force enough to leave craters Rising froht and ers could be separated into four distinct groups by their clothing and equipment It was clear they were from somewhere completely different

Selene, with the Seraphs, floated down to where they'd made landfall

“You are the venerable Avatar, Selene Cloude” An older man hite hair and a kindly face stepped forward White was certainly a theme for this man, for aside from his hair he also sported a snohite beard and robe Even the staff he bore was a ht h Priest and Master Dehmorn, Lucian Ahh Priest… He also styles himself Master Demonhunter which means he had felled a demon at some time in his past In all of Skycloud there had been only three with the qualifications to call themselves Master – the Cloude brothers, now all deceased

Clearly this white-haired, fatherly ht froun to fade Apparently its transroup arrived

Selene frowned “Only you?”

“The God of Light has instructed us thusly: The energy field around Skycloud is unstable and cannot support the whole arreat power to transroup to help stabilize the land and prepare the way for the others Once we have repaired the energy field, we can proceed”

It was the same for the other three Elysian lands Selene understood what the problem was The Great Wall… the wall Adder had destroyed

Its destruction caused the flows of energy within Skycloud to break free and seep out into the surrounding landscape As the energy field weakened and became disrupted, it had led to a parade of uessed was that his act of terror would one day save countless Elysian lives

Trying to activate the Boundary Portal with a weakened energy field had caused it to become unstable Troops in the numbers Selene had expected were impossible until it was restored

Selene then turned to the Seraphs From them she extracted infory levels were depleted

If this was not corrected, it would lose control of the realm From this moment forward Skycloud would be defenseless Clier be in to encroach and impact the lives of Skycloud's citizens
