The supreme sovereign system

The interaction between the gods and humans is a very special one. Gods give humanity a gift, the champions, in exchange, humans give their devotion, however, champions couldn't talk to the gods, only emperors could, however, the number of people that have become an emperor in the history of Leitol could be counted with one hand. So, the question was, how do gods manifest their wishes if they can't communicate with humanity?

The answered were the oracles. Nobody knows exactly the date, but the oracles were around Leitol even before this piece of land was named 'Leitol'.

They were a mystery even for the royal family, the oracles didn't like to middle in power affairs, but, there was no doubt that, since the beginning, they were respected by everyone. The father of Alfonso, the current emperor, would have to think it thrice before messing with an oracle.

As to were to find the oracles, nobody was exactly sure about that, they were a special society that worked in the shadows, as far as everyone knows, the only recognized oracle was the five princesses of Leitol, Susana Lockheart, this was also the reason why, although she was also a princess, nobody treated her as a competitor for the throne, after all, oracles liked to stay in the shadows.

As far as Alfonso remembered, he hadn't seemed even one in his 22 years of life (plus seventy-two).

"But now I am seeing two…" Though Alfonso.

Alfonso had an imaged of the oracles, tall guys with a big cloth covering everything except their mouth and maybe some kind of mysterious mark on their outfits.

It turned out that was just only Alfonso's disillusion.

 The two people in front of him were as normal as one could be. With a pair of pants and a shirt, both looked like one of those people that you see every day in the market and you quickly forget about their appearance.

So, how did Alfonso know that they were oracles?

"Those eyes… identical to my little sister" Though Alfonso.

There was one time on Alfonso's infancy that he got to see the power of the oracles, is what back when her sister was five years old, on those days, her sister and he were very close, Alfonso was the only child remotely close to her age and they used to get along pretty well. One day, Alfonso was looking out for her sister and he saw her looking at the skies, talking alone.

He got close and saw her face, to his surprise, her iris changed to a cross shape, making it look pretty scary. Since that day, Alfonso stopped playing with her sister.

"As scary as I remember" Though Alfonso.

"Alfonso Lockheart" Said one of the oracles.

"Oracles, I don't have any previous grievance with you, as far as I know, you won't miss this kind of thing" Said Alfonso.

"The affairs of the gods can't be understood by a simple human" Said the other oracle.

"Gods? Ha! Since when did kidnapping a child becomes a matter of the gods?" Said Alfonso with sarcasm.

���The destiny of that child is something that you can't understand, you shall not intervene" Said the first oracle.

"Again destiny, it seems that I am hearing that word a lot lately" Murmured Alfonso.

"I am sorry, however, that child is under my protection, if you want to discuss with against the repercussions of my actions, I am all ears, however, I can't trust the safety of Jessica in the hands of that pig" Said Alfonso.

"Pig!? Bastard, I dare you to repeat that!" Shouted Ivankov.

Alfonso didn't answer and looked at the oracles.

The oracle turned to look at Ivankov and made a gesture to him, Ivankov was surprised, however, he didn't dare to disobey and oracle, he turned and disappear from sight.

"Alfonso Lockheart, you are a very interesting individual, some gods consider you a blasphemy while others see you as an opportunity" Said one of the oracles.

"The gods know about me?" Asked Alfonso.

"Your battle with the goddess Maria was a very controversial topic in the upper realm" Said the other oracle.

"They sure are bored" Though Alfonso.

"This is a good opportunity; I have a question that the gods have been pondering since a while ago" Said one of the oracles.

"What?" Answered Alfonso.

"How did you managed to acquire the forbidden power of time?" Asked the oracle.

Alfonso felt his heart take a beat.

The power of time… this forbidden power has been his second-biggest secret. Only second to the system.

"They are already aware of the power of time?" Though Alfonso.

He unconsciously backed up.

"You don't have to make that face, although the gods have ordered us to put an eye on you, they won't kill you… not now at least" Said the other oracle.

"But… the fact that you have it remains, which is something that intricates us as well"

"I will ask one more time, how did you manage to acquire the power of time, Alfonso Lockheart?" Asked the other oracle.

"I…"

Alfonso didn't know how to answer, he couldn't say that there was someone inside of him that taught him the power of time.

The oracles looked coldly at Alfonso and one of them took a step forward.

"Alfonso Lockheart… have you ever heard of… Primordius?" Asked the oracle.

"Pri… mordius…" Alfonso murmured the name.

"That name… Primordius… I have heard it before… what were…. Ugghh… my head hurts…" Alfonso felt an intense pain on his head.

In an instant, his eyes become dull and he answered as he was a robot.

"I haven't heard that name"

The oracle looked at the dull face of Alfonso and made a small sigh.

"It seems that we were overthinking things, how can someone know Primordius" Said one of the oracles.

"Don't say that name so casually" Said the other oracle.

 "I suppose that you are right, we have to report this to the lord" Said the oracle.

"Yes, we have confirmed it"

"The name of Primordius is still lost in the sands of time"
