The gentle wind blew across the vast flieds of sunflowers and the rays of twilight shaded the sky in a mix of red and orange glow, making the entire sky more mesmerising.
A golden castle was present in the seemingly infinite space, as its outline was faintly visible from a distance.
A man casually sat in a chair on one of the castle's balconies, holding a white porcelain cup filled with coffee in one hand and a book in the other, reading it while taking a sip of coffee.
The man's expression was calm and peaceful, his handsome angular face illuminated by the sun's twilight.
The man was none other than Aucuses, who was drinking coffee and reading one of the popular novels at the time, which a believer sacrificed to him.
This mundane things he realized helped him to maintain his newly acquired humanity. The fact he had come to know after the fustion of two souls, the revelation other gods have yet to realize.
So to make good use of the knowledge, he had encouraged the beginning of the forms of entertaining like novels, theatre, museums, and art exhibitions have across the eastern continent.
But he knew even bigger enenthusias than him, Cessian, the most loyal arch angel of the old sungod, as far as Aurelion remembered, he was an art nerd to the core. Despite the fact that the ideas for this originated from their lord himself, Cessian was the one who actively pushed everything behind the scenes.
After the fall of his lord though, there was less and less of such a activities remained. Only to pushed back up again by aurelios. Looking back, he was a little surprised at how Cessian single-handedly staged the Renaissance back then.
His friendship with Cessian was actually quite good because he, too, enjoyed painting and they had gone on adventures specifically for this purpose.
However, everything between them broke, at the day of his betrayal.
And, the majority of his drawings are now in Aurelion’s castle walls; he will occasionally look at these paintings to reminisce about the past.
'Wait?' Aurelion rambling thoughts came to a halt as he remembered something. 'That painting?'
He had received a sacrifice near the beginning of the third era, shortly after becoming a god; it was a painting painted by Cessian himself.
The painting's title was "The ingrate" which is quite ironic now that he had gain more of his humanity and he didn't expect Cessian to have the courage and audacity to actually draw something like that.
The painting depicted him, standing before the the kneeling sun god. Aurelion tearing up the golden crystal from the head of the old sun god after thrusting the white flaming sword through his heart, while the background of the painting was completed dark.
When Aucuses saw the painting at the time, he was furious, for no one will be calm and collected if their actions and stories are depicted in this manner.
This was exacerbated by the fact that he was still conflicted about his choices and hadn't fully accepted them at that time.
This caused quite a stir at the time, To top it all off, it was the younger of the twins- Damien was the one who orchestrated everything; stealing this painting from Cessian and sacrificing to him in the hopes of causing chaos.
Damien came severely close to achieving this goal, as war nearly broke out between the Solomon empire and him. However, it was brought to a halt by the intervention of other gods, and Damien suffered the most as a result of his actions, while the painting was decided to be destroyed.
This was also when Damien was dubbed "The Blasphemer" for daring to provoke the god.
Looking back now, Aurelion didn't fell much anymore; he had completely accepted his own his actions and choices that he decided at the time.
He had no regrets about betraying his lord, and if could go back in time, he would have dine the same.
He wasn't hungry for power and strength before, but everything changed after that day, the day he found out the truth. Since then this had became his nature, to ascend higher and higher in chain of power. So he didn't question or feel guilty about his actions.
Aurelion sighed and placed the novel on the table, while drinking more coffee to calm his nerves.
Daimen was dangerous no doubt, but its the older one- Ichor the old, that make Aurelion warry, unlike Daimen he didn't make chaos ruscus of his actions, and had been hidden and silent since Former sun gods fall, but there's no doubt about it, he is prapering something, Something that even gods would fail to predict, he was like his father in that regard.
However, the past no longer matters; Aurelion can only plan ahead and achieve his goal. Having his humanity at ut strigest is huge advantage.
Its the fact that there are numerous ways to pry on the future and destiny of the world. And while he has set his plans in motion; his adversaries will not simply sit back and watch, but will take their own actions.
Aurelion’s knew that if Ichor finds out about his actions, he will not let it happen. Especially if the divine artifact, the broken cross is what he is seeking.
So, one way or another, the future is uncertain for even gods, and he must be prepared to deal with any situation that arises.
Finally, Aurelion sighed again and decided to stop thinking about the complicated issues for which he couldn't find answers with his current strength and instead focus on the present.
However, Aurelion chaotic thoughts were interrupted when a blaze of light erupted directly in front of him, revealing a golden star that continued to pulsate.
Suddenly, the star's bright light began to dim, and it started to become static, as though it was dying.
When Aurelion saw this, his face became solemn, because he felt his connection with the angel of wisdom weakening and almost serving.
He immediately raised his hand to grab the star.
The dying star immediately emitted a blazing light that engulfed him, and he vanished from his kingdom.
