Beginning with the forces surrounding the Vampyres located in the Underworld- they were a force that those in the Dark Expanse had managed to squeeze through the eyes of the Celestials in the period of the last 1000 years as they grew themselves in name and power in the Light Expanse.
The Vampyres held a special relationship with a few powerful figures in the Dark Expanse through the powerful being that held the entire race on her shoulder, the Vampyre Progenitor.
With her death being one of the many results coming out from the war more than one thousand years ago, the Vampyres were more than willing to act as spies in enemy territory, becoming a stable force over the past hundred years as they came to prominence in the Underworld.
The Vampyres also fit this task perfectly as they held abilities that allowed for complete secrecy, the covert qualities of their techniques making them move unhindered for the past hundreds of years.
They had been able to smoothly monitor the grand moves that Celestials continued to make, and even occasionally take down Celestials as was recently done by the rash Prince Cassius!
They continued to be a force that relayed information to the forces of the Dark Expanse for all these years, until the recent developments caused by Prince Cassius grabbed the attention of the higher echelons of the Archeon Clan where the Pureblood Vampyres in the Underworld were from, which also meant they had grabbed the attention of a few figures in the Alliance that oversaw the Dark Expanse.
The Archeon Clan was the top most lineage of Vampyres descending down from one of the first children of the Vampyre Progenitor, with a few other clans taking different names existing, but the Archeon Clan always remained at the top in power and bloodlines.
They held significant power in the Dark Expanse and oversaw a few core operations for the war that continued to occur behind the scenes.
"So what exactly did the Archeon Clan send you to do?"
Noah stopped the Vampyre that held a fervent light in her eyes as she continued to speak, the silver-haired Vampyre still not being able to fully contain herself as she realized what the return of this figure in front of her truly meant.
Elena’s immaculate face tried its best to remain calm as she reached into her ample bosom and pulled out a small cylindrical container. It looked like a small ancient bottle with a wooden stopper that contained contents that would draw anyone’s eyes instantly!
In this small bottle, a sparkling black liquid that seemed to be moving by itself was present, a mystical light running through it as Noah observed it closely.
"The Archeon Clan sent me here to provide the one becoming a Celestial Disciple with this treasure. It is...a unique poison obtained from the Letalis Expanse."
Noah observed the mysterious liquid as he couldn’t help but ask.
"A poison? You all wanted to send me on an assassination mission?"
"No such thing, O Progenitor. This is a unique treasure that is aimed at something specifically on the 7th Celestial Star, but it is not for assassination."
Elena quickly clarified as she brought the bottle forward, leaving it on Noah’s hands as she continued.
"Another result from the last full scale war that occurred over a thousand years ago were some very powerful beings imprisoned on the many Celestial Stars. This unique treasure that was sent with me for you to carry into the 7th Celestial Star...is something designed to release the shackles binding a particularly powerful figure imprisoned in that Celestial Star."
...!
Noah looked closely at the viscous starry liquid moving within the small bottle that only seemed ancient, but did not let out any other aura. Even his Planetary System did not know anything about it as no information could be found out.
"A prison break?"
He spoke to himself as he evaluated his own goals when he eventually stepped into the 7th Celestial Stars, and how exactly the movements of these beings from the Dark Expanse could come into play.
"The message they told me to pass along was for you to simply pop the stopper on that bottle and release the liquid flowing within into the soil of the Celestial Star, and this treasure would do the rest."
Elena spoke respectfully as she observed the thoughtful expression on the Progenitor’s face, feeling her heartbeat increasing as his gaze landed on her again. The fearsome Progenitor in front of her put the small ancient bottle away with a wave of his hands as he continued.
"Alright, this never ending war you continue to mention. The Alliance in the Dark Expanse and the Celestials in the Light Expanse. What exactly is the history behind this? A Celestial Grandmaster told me the Celestials have reigned over the last thousands of years bringing prosperity and peace over the Light Expanse, while also calling the Alliance overlooking the Dark Expanse to be an unstable collection of stars that sow chaos and disorder. What version of the story will you tell me?"
Noah asked this Soul Rank being in front of him languidly as he called for more information on the Celestials, and for the exact reason of the apparently ongoing war and conflicts that continued to occur between the Light Expanse and the Dark Expanse.
The only history he had with the Celestials was them almost killing him while they wiped out an entire world because of what they believed in, and he aimed his sword towards them because of this reason. He did not know of their real history or what they really stood for, the memories he obtained from the Celestial Disciple Drax only showing him more of their fearsome power as he continued to go down the path against them.
Elena’s fervent expression actually turned serious at the mention of the Celestials, her gaze becoming somber as she spoke.
"The Celestials...were an organization that slowly rose up a few thousand years ago. They began expanding their forces across a few worlds at first, preaching a doctrine of Order and Balance as they garnered more forces and support through all means possible."
Her shimmering silver hair danced as her voice became stronger.
"Their rise was paved and built on countless wars and bloodshed under the name of their doctrine, destroying anything and anyone that stood against them as they were labeled heretics and beings that sought to cause chaos and disorder. What made the Celestials even more fearsome was their unbelievable proficiency in the Law of Fate, a Supreme Law that has allowed them to remain unrivaled until now!"
A grand and shocking story weaved itself out from the red lips of the curvaceous Royal Vampyre as the secrecy covering the Celestials was slowly torn through.
"The number of beings that have died under the hands of the Celestials over the years, the number of stars that have been destroyed by their deadly weapons...is uncountable."
Noah’s entire attention was focused on this silver-haired Vampyre as a picture was slowly being built about the beings that always shone with an ill.u.s.trious golden light, the beings that stood for Order and Balance- the Celestials!
