Dharylan D. Aerys
------------------
Ruler of Aries


▬▬▬▬


xxxxxIt was but another fine day in the land of Cosmos, the sacred continent where the stars born and die, the ultimate landings of the Zodiacs, where humankind thrived and achieved their zenith. All kinds of magnificent sayings and quotes can be weaved in regards to this very land. But, as of any other creations that had come into being by the hands of The Universe, the land, its' rulers and its' people, all come with flaws. They indulged in their meager blessings, they basked in the glory bestowed upon them, they sing songs of their victories and their civilizations. And now, they deny their responsibilities, fall prey to the greed and darkness of their hearts. They blame it all on each other, and conflicts began to spark. The orders began to spiral out of their balance, and peace soon will be but a distant dream.

A war to resolve all problem.

Eventually, they had had to come down to this resolution. An end-game scenario, as one would probably say. Will everything return to the way they once were, or will this land spin deeper towards its' inevitable demise? The revelation is but a matter of time, and all that may transpire shall carve a deep marking into the very core of this world. To enthuse the moments to come as a 'marking that breathes life to the canvas that had remained colorless for too long' or to fall into the bottomless pit of despair, over what was surely to come. It is no doubt that every soul standing on the lands of Cosmos will have a decision to make.

"Fou, fou, kyuu." The clear sound of the little Cait Aidolon woke Dharylan up from his nap, as he had somehow dozed off while he was sitting in the cabin and admiring the views, possibly having composed some poems on the way, while the royal airship was taking him to the far Heaven's Eye on the other side of the map. Slowly opening his eyes, the first thing he saw was the little thing sitting by his head and licking his face. He smiled brightly as he grasped his small pet within his two hands and snuggled its' nose with his own. "Good morning, Mayvin. Is it time to take care of the Grand Garden already? What could I possibly do without you ~" He coddled the beast in a way similar to a mother playing with her own infant.

"It's almost noon already, and we're not at Vengard, nor at the Palace." Another husky voice spoke up from the other side of the cabin. It was a tall man with red hair, bearing a sword made not from Arisia but from Dai-uchu by his belt. He was standing with his arms crossed and his back leaned against the wall, gazing at the Flower King with his ever frowned eyebrows and confident grin. "You really didn't see this occasion as something of a high altitude, did you?"

Dharylan chuckled, "Why, of course I did, dearest Akira. I just don't want to be overly excited about it. Should I throw banquets and balls all over this humble ship just to show that I'm looking forward to be able to partake in an event only occurred once in several lifetimes?"

"That's not what I meant." Akira shrugged as he approached his king, step by step, until he stood proudly in front of him, "What I'm trying to say is that you should probably show more excitements at times. You never really gotten bored looking at yourself in the mirror and to see that goofy grin again and again?"

Dharylan let go of Mayvin and crossed his legs, "I suppose so. I have never been someone who is too much of an emotional one. I thought you of all people should know that?"

"Now that I think of that, the only times when I really saw you showing more colorful expressions on your face are when I discard this exuberant robe off." Akira smirked as he lowered himself and trailing his finger across Dharylan's robe, then caressing his face.

"Come now, you didn't even let me have a break for the whole night yesterday, and now your 'beast' is still vigorous? Have you been taking doses of ouvofros pollen behind my back?" Dharylan pretended to protest Akira's action, but a mischievous chuckle made its' way on his face. He didn't flinch away from his closest guard, though.

"Don't talk as if you are so innocent. Need me to remind whose name you're always screaming? I have no idea which kind of sheep you apply yourself to, but the wolves definitely would stay far away from them, if I must say." Akira hold some flocks of Dharylan's soft hair and placed a kiss on them, before moving away to the window on the other side of the cabin, gazing outside, "We should be there soon. Are you certain that this is the right path for you? I usually don't listen to what Aserys got to say, but I must admit this time he might have a point. You needn't have to raise your blade against anyone. Especially if some of them are meaningful to you."

"There is no turning back now, Akira." Dharylan gazed outside of the window next to him, his voice is calm, yet full of certainty. He can already see the grounds of Heaven's Eye in the distance, "The sacrifices will be humongous. Yes, I know. It pains me to watch my people being plunged into yet another tragedy. I live for the present, but I still hold envisions towards the future. No matter what will all of this resulted, I believe it will all worth it. I prayed and I questioned the Deuses everyday whether if my choice is correct or not, but if this is the only for us to actually find some meanings, amidst this torturous boundaries between illusions and reality, then so be it." Dharylan then stood up as the airship slowly approached the dock, and gazed at Akira, "Will you place your trust in me, like you did many years ago when you pledged your sword in front of me?"

With no hesitation, Akira bowed, "With all my life, your Grace."

As the airship stopped at the dock, Dharylan walked out into the open air. It was certainly a thing to let your mind wander in imagination when reading the books and observing the paintings, and an entirely different one to be graced in the reality. If allowed to stay in Heaven's Eye longer, he believes he would be able to compose thousands of poems when he return. But apparently, there is no time for that. He also noticed other airships bearing insignia of the other kingdoms were also there before them. One was from Caelestis, one was from Gradivus, and the one which Dharylan presented to Omne after he was coronated as a token of gratitude bearing the color of Dai-uchu.

Dharylan put on his hood and disembarked the airship by himself. As much as he wanted to take Akira along with him, the line written in the script of the Arisia King who attended the previous Eistrea which stated that 'mere mortals, thou shalt not trespass the holy grounds, for thy punishment awaits' is certainly not there for fun. This alone is enough to make the atmosphere become tense, but he knows he must not succumb to it.

Making his way through the serene grass field, Dharylan sees white flowers growing in straight lines all across the ground. He remembered reading about them in the Flora Encyclopedia, but as much as he wanted to stop and admire them, he is still conscience enough to know that he isn't here for flower watching. The meeting with the other 14 rulers may sound like a dread for some, for half of them are going to be his enemies soon. Fortunately, some of the rulers whom he can considered to be closed with will be on his side, but it saddens him for having to face the remaining too.

Nonetheless, by his very own hands, Dharylan had dragged his nation out of its' misery, then why couldn't he do the same now? It's still better to retain a positive outlook of what is to come than to be all gloomy about it. A sulking flower is always the one to wilt first, after all.

Halfway through the field, Dharylan was then greeted by several shrouded beings with three eyes. The Virtus is what they are called, according to what he recollected from his readings. "Dharylan Descadio Aerys, Ruler of Aries, Liberator of Arisia." The being spoke of Dharylan's full name and his titles, at which he nodded, "Come with us."

The journey through the mist was not quite pleasant, as Dharylan has to keep his hood on to prevent it from destroying his one-hour effort in making his hair this morning, but eventually, a gigantic castle was in sight. Upon entrance, he was led to the meeting room where all zodiacs will meet. As the giant door crafted with sophisticated cravings was sprung opened, Dharylan entered, and the first thing he saw are a handful of rulers who have arrived, which included Queen Estelle and King Omne along with their guards, who surprised him a bit for being allowed to come, as well as Gale of Gradivus and Isidore of Pisces.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. I hope your journey had been well." Dharylan took off his hood and bowed to Omne with his usual smile, before turning to the Estelle, "The same to you, Your Grace." With that said, he then took a seat next to the King of Constellation, and took out a book which he had tucked inside his robe and immersed himself within the wise words, while in fact still keeping an eye on his surrounding.

The atmosphere is still tense, but Dharylan knows what is about to come shall be interesting, indeed.
