Chapter 926: The Eternals and Great Ones

"Arsene? Back again, I see," said Izavith drawing my attention to the young maiden covered by amethyst black embers.

"Unfortunately, I've come looking for answers."

"From me?" She replied, and I nodded in confirmation. " What could you have to speak to me about."

"The Eternals," I said, watching her eyes darken and her shoulders tense. "You've awoken one?"

"You know of them?!"

"Unfortunately, I've had a few encounters with one before I gained true sentience and a little later when my mind became focused. Why do you even ask?" She revealed. " The Eternal Ones and the Great Ones are not beings you need to worry yourself—"

"You honestly believe that because one of them was not only involved with my mother's death, but another one, the Pale Lord has awakened and is threatening to take over Oblivian." I snapped, watching her expression darken even further. "Who the Hell are they?"

She touched her chin, tracing her fingers over it ever so slightly, and bowed her head, raising it after a few seconds of thought. "There are four Eternals and Five Great Ones. Most of their names still elude me, but for the most part, they are beings older than time, possibly predating the angels, rise and subsequence fall."

"So there is a connection between The Great One, Cthulhu, and the Eternal, Azathoth," I said.

"Yes. Cthulhu is a General, and Azathoth, while not the master, is the one who gave him his power, binding him too—' She paused, and her fingers curled into a ball." I don't know what it is, but I shuttered when I faced the one called Azathoth."

'You two fought? Why?"

"He invaded my territory." Izavith replied, her cheeks turning red as a tomato, 'I was still a kid, I guess. And someone broke in. What else could I do? "

That's one way of putting it: kid, my ass.

"This mysterious power. It wasn't from the Abyss nor the Myriad Heavens. Then wait, that leaves—"

"Arcadia."Whispered Izavith darkly. "I don't think it's a simple realm like Noctem or the Overworld. Arcadia might be something far more dangerous than you or I might think.

"Then the Eternals, could they be like the Lords of that realm? Locked in an eternal slumber till they awaken?" I said, recalling the words spoken by Kurt.

'The Pale King is who dwells in the Abyss, not part of its collective mind but as a singularity that stands on its own, seeking only Eternal Slumber.'

Two ethereal thrones appeared from the Abyss, probably thanks to Izavith. She beckoned to sit. "I think you might have a good theory, but it leaves the question, how does no one know about this?"

"I've no idea, but then again, we are quite ignorant regarding the outside world," I replied, crossing my legs while resting my arms upon the armrest. "They know about my child."

"Excuse me?"

"Azure Abyss is what the Pale Lord called one of them. Interesting, wouldn't you agree? Tell me, what kind of power must you have to see my children's future." I boldly asked, leaving an answer in the air. I knew both Izavith and I were too fearful of saying to ourselves. A truth that none of us wished to say aloud.

"They are not enemies, but we need to start preparing."

"And that's the second reason why I am here," I revealed. " I want you to visit Zero. And allow him to teach you. There should be no better person for the job."

"What do you have in mind?" She asked, and I frowned.

"Things are getting out of hand, Higher Beings are actively appearing within the Forth Heaven, and it's bothering me. First Zantar and Balor, then the Mother of Demons, and right after that came the Fallen Angels, now the Eternal and Great Ones. Everything started so small, but it's getting bigger and bigger. There are so many moving parts I don't know where to start. It's frustrating."

Izavith tapped her fingers against her armrest and nodded. " I blame you. It seems chaos is prone to you, Snows.

I smiled at her words. It was true.

"I'll do as you say, but you got thirteen other generals. Are they too—"

"The Citadel of Chaos? What do you think about that name? I know you are in the process of building one for Lilith, but it needs to be done now. Gather all intelligent minds under an imperial order using your hive mind, and tell them. Those without intelligence are to be enslaved. Zero will help you on his end regarding all that."

"We don't need help like—"

"Zero is hands down one of the smartest people to exist. You will take his help because Lilith will ask you to do so." I coldly stated, leaving no quarter. I know the Abyssal fiends run on a Matriarchy, but times are tough and not on our side. "I'll speak with Zariel, asking him what the hell is going on and if the Eternals are even under restriction."

Izavith's expression was scary dark, but she still nodded. " Fine," She said through gritted teeth. "But that still leaves the Myriad Heavens? You've no allies aside from Zariel. Lucifer hates us right now for killing that Demonic Whore. That man is the King of Hell, and many Fallen still hail him as their true king."

"That's why we've got Aurelia. She'll deal with him. As for the enemy Fallen, well, hell. I don't know. Ignore them till they become a problem." I said, thinking like a man back on earth. "You know what they say. If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Izavith affixed her gaze to me. " A foolish notion but one I can grasp. I'll do as you say, Arsene, if only for the birth of the potential Queen or King."

Starry light shimmered through the ethereal throne I sat upon, pushing my thought to the land, said to destroy the twelve planes upon its awakening.

The Great Ones and Eternal Ones: I wonder what their true aim could be. And in their hierarchy, could there exist another above them?

I looked up to the coiling force of the Abyss, wishing for an answer, and spoke. "Who are these two beings who seem to exist outside the flow of our reality?"
