The three who were leisurely strolling inside the wormhole is shocked that they were suddenly pushed by Adrian into another exit. They did not know what is happening until they noticed that their passageway was crumbling. They also saw the panicked expression that Adrian had which is why they did not resist when they were suddenly shoved into an unknown exit.
All of the suddenly fell into a shallow body of water that is about knee deep. They got wet but they suddenly realize that they are inside a massive temple that overlooks the stars. In front of them is a beautiful lady that has a blindfold on her eyes and is floating above the water.
"Hello again, Champion of the Twin Gods." The Great Star Gazer stated as she welcomed the four people in her temple.
"How did we end up here?" Adrian thought but The Great Star Gazer suddenly answered his worries as if she could read his mind.
"Please receive my apologies for forcefully summoning you here as it is of great importance. I have gotten a revelation as your friend over there seems to be called by something ancient located in the far north. My revelation is also related to something hidden in the far north." The Great Star Gazer stated as she looked to the northern direction.
"Did you actually summon us here? Then the huge hand that I suddenly saw in the wormhole is your doing?" Adrian stated as he is shocked that the Great Star Gazer has that sort of power, but he then saw the traces of blood on her mouth. She must have paid a great price just to twist the fate of all four of them.
"Uhm…can we get like an introduction?" Peridot asked as she looked at Levin Cloud and Adrian for an explanation of what suddenly happened.
Adrian then took his time to explain on how they met and what they did in the north. The Great Star Gazer also introduced herself formally to the other two. Peridot and Kabrakan are stunned upon knowing her existence as she is an NPC that could basically dictate the future of the game.
"I am glad that we have met but it is unfortunate that we have not much time left as something terrible will happen in the north. It also coincides with the artifact that your friend over there is looking for." The Great Star Gazer stated as she told them what she saw in her visions.
The Great Star Gazer said that she saw beings like them travel far in the north in search for a great weapon said to be able to easily kill the gods. She then warned them that if that weapon were to be taken then the last of the disasters created by man will walk upon the earth.
She also said that it is related to the divine artifact fragment that they are searching for because that artifact safeguards the weapon sealing the human calamity. If the weapon is taken, then the Apocalypse will start according to the Great Star Gazer.
"Is she referring to the last Horseman of the Apocalypse?" Levin Cloud asked.
"Could be as that is the last one that has yet to awaken. But they do not even show up even when they were summoned into the world." Adrian stated.
The news about the Horsemen of the Apocalypse were hot at first since they appeared in the world but that was it. They were no longer spotted after they were unsealed as if they were just special effects. Although, they did manage to affect the world with the misfortune that they spread.
They soon faded from the spotlight as they are not seen by people or players. What the world did not know is that each horseman has already did their job in influencing the world. The First Horseman has infected the world with the plague which made the Tree of Life become easily sick by poison despite its strong vitality.
The Second Horseman has brought war which made the central continent to what its current state is. The Third Horseman soon followed which made the food production go down as famine spread all throughout due to continuous military expansions of each new kingdom. If they follow that order, then the Fourth Horseman will bring death which made everyone shudder.
"What if something incredibly terrible will happen when the fourth horseman gets unsealed? Death is what signifies the Fourth Horseman right? Do you guys know anything as you two are like prominent figures in the Church of the Twin Gods." Peridot asked.
"I got no idea since I am the muscle. Ask him." Adrian stated as he pointed towards Levin Cloud. The three then looked towards him for some answers as they knew that he read upon all things related to the Church of the Twin Gods.
They wanted to ask the Great Star Gazer, but Adrian is reluctant since she is incredibly weak from intervening on the future. She also does not know much about the Horsemen of the Apocalypse as it is older than her. To get information then she would need to use her powers which might weaken her to the point of inducing her into a coma.
"All I know is that the Fourth Horseman is mentioned in one sentence. Where the Fourth Horseman threads, death will follow." Levin Cloud stated.
"Where the Fourth Horseman threads, death will follow. Well…that does not sound ominous at all." Kabrakan uttered.
"If that is what the past records say then lots of death will surely come. We must stop them as it seems that players will be the one that we will face. Even I do not want to face death everywhere and I already am a priest that serves the God of Death." Levin Cloud stated.
"Great Star Gazer, is the future set-in stone?" Adrian asked as the other party surely has a quest to retrieve that weapon.
"I have pulled you to this place because I hope that you can mitigate the damage if the last horseman does indeed get unsealed. If the last horseman also gets the divine artifact fragment, then untold death and destruction will rain upon this land. What you choose to do is up to you as I can only give you another choice." The Great Star Gazer stated as she could be seen struggling to stand up due to being weakened.
"We will do our best then." Adrian stated but in fact the best in his mind is just retrieving the Breath of the Wilde.
If they cannot defeat the players or stop them from unsealing the fourth horseman, then so be it. What is important for him is the fact that he helped his close friend with his quest. Even the Great Star Gazer did not give them a quest to intervene as she already interfered enough just by telling the four about the event that will happen in the north.
"Go north of this temple and you will find what you seek. You must hurry as they are already near the sealed location." The Great Star Gazer stated as she proceeded to her resting spot. If she says anymore then the wrath of the universe might rain down upon her for interfering more.
"Thank you." All four of them stated as they headed to the direction the are pointed at.
Peridot summoned Moksha and rode with Levin Cloud while Adrian summoned Kanlaon and rode with Kabrakan. They headed north to which Kabrakan immediately picked up something calling to him. It seems that something inside the temple of the Great Star Gazer made him unable to detect the energy coming from the divine artifact fragment.
Now that they are no longer in the temple's vicinity, he can definitely feel something calling to him further north. They needed to hurry as the ones trying to unseal the weapon are already in the location trying to solve the deterrence that the Breath of the Wilde is creating.
"Has there been any guild that is trying to broadcast their expedition in the north?" Adrian asked as he is not caught up in the latest news due to his previous activities.
"There is one and it is about a rising guild called the Death Note. Their guild leader is an assassin player that specializes in instant death attacks. If I am not wrong, he received a quest that can change his job class from an unknown NPC.
He broadcasted that the job class is from a Mythical Assassin that could even kill demigods. I did not think that he was fooled, and it is actually a job class that can kill gods instead. Does that mean a god slaying weapon is located in the north? Kabrakan stated.
"It makes sense since each god slaying weapon is supposedly found in different directions. The last one would be the north. It is also the only direction where a Horseman is spotted. To think that Apocalypse is upon us. It might actually be an event that might shake the world." Adrian stated but he will soon find out that he severely underestimated Apocalypse.
