"W-what is this?!" The queen suddenly shouted out as her grasp over Reign disappeared.
Lightning broke through the clouds as the light and darkness suppressed the power of the clouds. Reign's body was quickly covered not only in lightning but in light and darkness as well while the queen suddenly found herself suppressed and unable to move an inch.
"Light and darkness coexisting inside a being, how is this possible?!" The queen shouted in disbelief as she simply stared at Reign who was now completely covered in a white and black ball that was covered by the lightning sea.
The ball started pulsating weakly as the whole area suddenly became silent.
As for Reign, he was currently undergoing another one of his visions, only that this time, he was not seeing through the eyes of someone else.
Reign stood at the side of a man that was wearing a white robe. He was currently on a huge mountain that overlooked an entire world. The mountain was so massive that it was a wonder how it even existed.
Reign was certain that he was currently looking at the sight with his own body as he was able to see that he was wearing the same clothes he always wore.
In front of him and the white-robed man whose face he was unable to see for some reason, stood an army of a couple of thousand.
Each one of the soldiers that were present in the army was so powerful that a glance was enough to tell Reign that he had no chance to defeat any of them in battle.
"You have done well to all come here." The man in white said as the soldiers all stood and stared at him with awe and reverence in their eyes.
"From today on, this will be your home and the headquarters of our entire race." The man said as the soldiers looked at the enormous mountain that they were currently standing on.
"You are free to move anywhere you like on the mountain, anywhere except for the castle, and the peak of the mountain."
"You may build your own buildings, you may change the landscape as you see fit, you may even bring people here, but never for too long, and never those that you don't fully trust."
"You are free to leave the mountain at any time except for rare instances where everyone will be called back, you may battle anyone you like as the army will not join any organization and will always be neutral."
"The only thing I require out of you is loyalty, and that you all come to the mountain every ten years if the situation permits."
"These men will be your leaders, if any of you have any questions regarding your powers and how to utilize them more effectively, they will teach you, those that perform amicably will have the opportunity to be taught by me, those of you that show great potential and talent can and will be taken as direct disciples by them or perhaps by me even."
"I only ask of you to perform any missions you take outside to your fullest and to not bring the name of the Immortal Army to shame, those that perform their missions dishonorably and those that leave a stain on the army will be cast out, while some will be hunted down and eliminated."
"As for those that have ulterior motives, I recommend you guys leave the army on your own, otherwise you will be discovered and captured, and I promise you, you will beg for death, a death that will never come as I will make sure you suffer for all of eternity." The man spoke coldly as his very words made some of the soldiers shudder in fear.
There were those that stayed serious and simply nodded in agreement, while others gulped and clenched their fists as they considered what they should do.
Some even stepped out and kneeled down in front of the man as they asked to leave the army immediately, and they were allowed to, but their memories were first wiped so that nobody would know where the mountain was.
The man nodded at the end before leaving as the leaders he had appointed started instructing the men. Reign followed after the man, for some reason he had the urge to follow after him and observed him carefully.
His mannerism, the way he moved, and the way he spoke, Reign memorized everything.
"So, have you looked enough, Reign?" The man suddenly stopped and turned as he stared Reign directly in the eyes.
Reign was unable to answer the man, his mind reeled in shock as this was the first time someone had spoken to him directly in a vision.
"Don't look so shocked, this is what everyone goes through when they awaken, you are one of the rare ones to awake in such a manner, however."
"Most will see the beginning of some notable characters of the army, those that had managed to leave a mark in the entire universe before dying and leaving us."
"But you are the first that has actually seen such memories before and my own memories from a time that has long passed." The man's voice trailed off at the end, sadness could be felt from his words before he chuckled and looked at Reign again.
"For your awakening to actually be a vision of the army being formed for the first time, I have to say that you are the very first, perhaps it is the connection you have with me that has made this possible?"
"The army being formed for the first time, you're saying that this is in the past?" Reign suddenly spoke as the man in white nodded.
"Yes, I and you are currently conversing at an event that took place eons ago."
"But how is that possible?"
"Because this is a vision, Reign." The man suddenly said.
"It's not truly going back in the past, you are simply viewing a memory, and because of that, both of us are able to connect and speak like this, whilst looking at what used to exist a long time ago."
"But still, how are you here."
"Because I am, because I can, because we are connected, even though you have no idea of that." The man said in a lighthearted tone as he chuckled a bit.
"Come, follow me." The man said as he suddenly entered the pristine white castle that was located next to the peak of the mountain.
Reign had no idea how long the two had spent climbing up the seemingly endless stairs, but he presumed a couple of hours had passed at the very least, but still, for some reason, he felt no fatigue from doing something like that.
There were many floors inside the castle, but the two of them simply ignored each floor and continued climbing until they reached the top and entered an office.
The office was huge and many things could be seen inside it.
For example, there was a head of a dragon on one of the walls of the office.
The head alone was enormous and even the teeth of the dragon were larger than Reign himself.
"W-what the hell is this thing?" Reign said as he gulped in fear upon glancing at the dragon's head.
"Oh, that was the black dragon Istar, he was one of the two most powerful dragons, the second being his brother that would in the near future rile up the other black dragons and rebel against the dragon clan."
"It's thanks to spatial magic that I was able to make his head small enough to fit here, otherwise it would be as big as the entire castle, well, bigger than the castle." The man spoke as Reign gulped upon learning that the huge head of the dragon was actually originally so large.
"Don't look so shocked boy, beings that have reached the realm of Gods can have true bodies that are as large or even larger than planets, Istar was actually amongst the smallest of dragons of his realm, but his power was something completely different." The man spoke before sitting down and staring at Reign.
"We don't have much time left, Reign."
"Your awakening is nearing its end, soon you will open your eyes and battle the foe that has forced you to go through the awakening."
"I doubt you will need any help after the awakening, but I still wanted us to have a conversation about what will happen to you after you awaken." The man suddenly spoke seriously as he stared at Reign.
For the first time ever, his face was suddenly visible to Reign.
Long white hair and a face that was seemingly perfect were in front of Reign.
"Listen Reign."
Suddenly small ripples started appearing around the two.
"Tch seems like the system truly doesn't want us to talk, even though I brought you here where the interference of the system is the weakest." The man clicked his tongue before looking at Reign again.
"You are a Nephilim, one of the most powerful races in the universe."
"More will be explained to you about us later as the Transcendents on Earth know a lot more, and they have been given clearance to talk to you about us."
"And remember, whatever you do in the future, do not trust the system Reign, under no circumstances should you allow the system full clearance of your body and race, remember that."
As the man said those words, the ripples suddenly encompassed Reign and he woke up.
