A city, gold and ivory glinting in the sky. It was tenfold larger than a castle. A sky fortress divided into three vertical sections. Islands floated among it. From the bottom to the top, it looked like a pyramid, but Akielas had been inside its libraries. Akielas had seen the Effeelions, the evolved Elves. They welcomed him, and he was trusted never to speak of the city hidden in the skies of the Yama country. The city that the evolved Elves called, Kazenolumos.
“It’s been so many years since I have been here,” he said; a smile widened on his face.
Something or someone was flying towards him. It was a speck in his view, but Akielas knew who it was. It flew through the air with no wings, no vessel, or Eedahlan. It flew much like the Specters did, naught but their cosmo. As it got closer, Akielas commanded his dragon to stop and wait. He could see a man with long white hair and olive skin. A green tunic ruffled as the man flew. The man in the green tunic paused at a distance and stared down at Akielas with lavender eyes. He hovered in the air effortlessly, even at a height beyond the mountains.
“Identify yourself, stranger. No outsiders are allowed in our sky city,” said the man of white hair.
“Don’t act like you don’t recognize me, Caim,” Akielas responded.
The man hovered towards Akielas, his hair streaming, and he held a solemn look in his face. His eyes were the most mesmerizing part about him. That lavender color…Akielas knew that cosmo energy ran through this being.
“Akielas! Ah, yes, I remember that face. How could I forget?” Caim said. “It’s been so long. What has brought you to Kazenolumos?”
“Oh mighty demigod, Caim. The world needs your powers. I know that as you watch the world from Kazenolumos, you can see the chaos that the Specters have caused.”
“After all these years, you now seek my help…” Caim raised his chin and crossed his arms. “Do you really think a demigod like me cares about the people of this world?”
“Of course,” Akielas replied, “you were once part of it.”
