The world outside
As the sound of Omkar's footsteps echoed through the buzzing vibrant throne-room; silence ensued. All the attention of the people gathered in the vast hallway
went towards the group walking towards the throne. As they felt the presence of their supreme king, everyone stood from their seat, paying respect with their chests high up and the palms of their hands touching each other, creating the "Anjali mudra" The drums rang and announced the arrival of their Supreme king, The Supreme Overlord, Omkar.
Attired in his regal outfit, Omkar entered the hallway. He walked scanning through this huge hallway. The people who were looking up at him with respect saw two women heading in his direction. One was an orange haired lady, Clementine and the other was a golden haired lady, Amber.
She was a sensual beauty having her golden hair tied in a ponytail.
She was dressed in Golden outfit
As they both reached each other, both ladies flitted their attention to the sides and then deeply bowed before Omkar. To which he raised his hand in acknowledgement.
The expression of the ladies remained as it was as they kept the same smile on their face from just now.
Omkar smiled looking at them,' they've grown up ' He remembered how clumsy they were before and now how they carried themselves. There was not a speck of imperfection in them.
"We've gathered all the leaders present in this realm." Clementine reported.
Omkar glanced at the people showing appreciation to him, he was familiar with everyone. Omkar wasted no time and stepped forward towards his throne saying," Thank you for your hard work."
Clementine and Amber smiled of fulfilment.
Following Omkar, other Five Ladies nodded and along with Clementine and Amber walked behind him in a majestic way.Along the way Omkar saw his people waiting for him to commence the conference.
Sitting on his majestic throne he gave a hand signal, indicating them to sit.
Even if he was weakened to the state being weaker than them, they still didn't disobey his command. To be honest this thought never crossed their mind. This was the supreme overlord. The one they looked upon.
With everyone taking their seats the conference began.
Starting with him, he mentioned about the war which they would have already lost. They already knew about what had happened in war, knowing how their supreme leader used his all and saved this world.
Coming to the present condition he announced, " I will be undoing the barrier, creating an entrance to our realm. "
He added," This opening of our realm will alert many beings if not handled properly. So it will be a small entrance like a door. We wouldn't risk being in the eyes of predators. And if that happens I would be left with no choice."
Omkar scanned through their reactions, he sensed there were questions lingering in their mind
He cleared , "Also pointing to one question, At this moment I cant recover the barrier from other realms. Since my powers are sealed due to being weakened. This barrier would not go unless my Authorization of the same level is fulfilled. " Everyone understood and nodded.
For an hour, the conference continued where they discussed many things. About security measures and also about their current condition. Throughout the conversation, he had seriousness on his face.
The conference came to an end.
Exiting the hall there was a glint of ferociousness in Omkar's eyes. There was visible rage, anger, sadness in his eyes. All the seven women noticed. They could feel through what he was suffering, Omkar had lost so much that he would not sit quiet about it. Among the defeated people were also his loved ones.
" I will be their nemesis, and they will feel the unending loop of retaliation." The atmosphere around him sent chills down their body.
As they reached their destination, their walk halted. In front of them was a huge door, the door which led outsiders to this " Eternal realm" , one of the many realms of the Supreme Overlord, Omkar.
Touching the door Omkar chanted in ancient language and sent a frequency of his energy through the door.
The golden barrier around the door slowly shifted its shield away from the door creating an entrance.
"Announce to the whole realm, this will be the only entrance, No one will leave without my permission and no one will enter without my permission."
"We will make it an unbreakable rule " bowing to him, The dark blue haired lady, Afina. The one with a seductive body and voice said. And along with the Sky-blue haired lady, Sora, went following the orders.
Omkar then gave his second order, " Clementine, orders absolute, Do not go further than twenty kilometre radius, beyond it means breaking my trust." Having received absolute order she shuddered and a sense of responsibility emerged from inside of her, which made her enthusiastic about her work.
In the meeting Omkar had given them an idea about where they were now. Since he escaped to the vast unending universe, at a point he found a place which would serve as his starting point. All would start from here.
"Your wish, my command, I will never disobey you." All he wanted was her safety, carrying a mission to an unexplored planet by them and it was dangerous, since a bigger powerhouse capable of forcing him to this extent was out there. She understood it and assured him that she would be safe.
The time for dispatch came as Clementine along with two female assassins exited the world door.
Once they came through the door they were welcomed with a huge forest. Turning back they saw the entrance of their world which looked like a temple from outside.
Clementine looked at her two companions on this journey. Both had similar features and looked like they were twins. Since they both were top tier Assassins, Clementine knew them. Those glowing red eyes, the dark hair and matching outfits.
"How have you been Charna and Esamery," Continuing their little chat Clementine continued their adventure.
"Yes, Miss Clementine, We're fine." It was a silent, short, respectful, answer. Being an assassin they rarely used to speak with others and on duty they mostly kept quiet.
"Interesting," Smiling Clementine said and then asked," So Esamery, do you still like Omkar?"
Esamery shuddered and a blush was visible below her black mask. Clementine chuckled, Esamery being emotionless during her job needed some freedom from her seriousness. And her original personality easily gets embarrassed.
Charna looked at her sister," Esamery, control your emotions." Since Clementine was familiar to them Charna didn't keep her serious facade, however kept her alertness to protect Clementine.
"Y-yeah " Esamery composed herself.
"You know, you should smile more Charna. " Clementine pointed out.
"I will try." Charna replied. Charna was always a serious type. Clementine in her olden days worked with both of them on many missions, that led Clementine and the two to get closer and become friends.
As they continued further, slight movements in the surrounding wind alerted them. Both Assassins disappeared, One in shadow and other in mist.
Further to their alertness, Clementine kept walking like she wasn't aware of the incoming thing. It was a facade, an attempt to make the opponent underestimate their opponent and reveal themselves. And something similar happened, the silhouette of a huge white snake was revealed.
A huge Silver-white scaled snake having fierce green reptilian eyes slid in front of Clementine. She looked at the snake in its eyes, not showing any movements to it. Not even fear or shudder.
From the sides, the forest mist slightly moved, Charna scanned the surroundings for the suspicious snake's allies. And found none.
Esamery in the shadow, received the message and informed Clementine.
Clementine looked at the snake and at a glance read it like an open book.
" I sensed a stronger aura around and found a human? Hmm, you sure have a unique aura."
The snake spoke, Clementine smirked, and looked at the red stone on the Snake's forehead,' A Guardian Spirit huh.' She felt no amusement.
"Hmm, You seem to be frozen, no, you do not feel any fear, wait…" The snake spirit seemed confused. It tried to sense the woman's soul aura but couldn't. It frowned and became defensive and tried again.
" Do not try to scan me or you will pay for it." Clementine, still composed, sent a threat to the snake spirit.
The snake spirit for the first time in its life felt threatened by words. Clementine's words along with the surrounding getting tense unknowingly, made the snake spirit shudder.
"You, you don't seem like a human, no you're not…wait…what are you!?" The snake spirit was confused.
"It's not something you should know." Clementine, confirming that the snake spirit was no threat to her, decided to make her move.
The snake spirit observed that the woman in front of it didn't use violence and just words. Considering the situation, it took a more peaceful approach. And introduced itself.
" I'm the guardian of this forest, Belinda." The snake spirit's body glowed and its voice turned more feminine, and the next moment it took a humanoid form. A lady dressed in a white outfit with similar scales on it; A snake tattoo in black running from her left cheek towards her neck appeared out of the glowing body. She had a red gem at the centre of her forehead and she looked quite mature.
"If I may ask, what is your reason to enter this forest without my permission?" Somehow she seemed to be polite.
Clementine, sensing no more hostility coming from the snake spirit loosened some of her defence. However, still being in unfamiliar land talking to an unfamiliar person, she kept both the Assassins on high alert.
Clementine didn't find the snake spirit changing its form too amusing, she had already seen such transformations many times in her life.
Clementine and her companions simply managed to achieve their goal. Since, the one who rules this forest is ready to make conversation with them, their goal is already half achieved. And what major thing that is left is the magic of words and trust.
