"He's dead! Supreme God Arterus has been slain!" The young blue haired maiden screamed as she entered Highpoint, the chamber of the All Gods. " Iwenttogivehimhislunchbuthedidn'topenhisdoorsoIopeneditIknowitsagainsttherulesbutIopeneditand-"
"Gather yourself Aldena" commanded the goddess as she rose from her ebony throne that seemed to reach infinitely into the sky. " Now tell me, what exactly did you see?"
"Supreme Goddess Etraeus, I, Aldena of Arterus, have seen the deceased body of Supreme-former Supreme God Arterus. The body is currently laying in the bed with a weapon that I am not familiar with plunged within its chest."
"How can this be? The only way for this to have happened is if someone on the level of a Supreme did this!" proclaimed Etraeus as her hand, that seemed to match the color of her impossible throne, reached into the air facing the northern section of the room. "It was in this direction no?" She recalled as suddenly she pulled her hand away as she grabbed the very fabric of reality itself and tore it open; leaving a hole the size of household door showing the room and body of the deceased god. " Aldena!"
"Yes Supreme Goddess?"
"Use your Aspect and tell me what exactly happened here"
"I cannot do so Supreme Goddess"
"You defy a Supreme?" Etraeus questioned as her body begins to fill with power, her golden hair beginning to whip uncontrollably as if it were caught in a wind tunnel.
" I would never Supreme Goddess" Aldena said as she quickly prostrated. " I attempted to use my Aspect the moment I set foot into the room but I was unable to see what events transpired."
" So not only can this person kill a Supreme but they also possess the ability to block an Aspect? That means whomever this person is, they can kill us without us knowing." Etraeus paces around the room in her ethereal verdant gown for what seems to be minutes before stopping in front of Arterus. Her eyes gaze upon her fallen brethren, full of sadness and guilt. "My poor Arterus" she whispers " Who would do this to you?" Just then she has an epiphany. " Aldena, I want you to check the AE of this room right now. If they were powerful enough to do what they did, there is no way their energy has completely vanished from here"
" At once Supreme Goddess" Aldena replied as a device materialized from out of nowhere and onto her wrist. " Scanning area for all AE within the last 24 hours. Ok there is yours, mine, an unknown and Arterus-wait that doesn't make sense?"
"What do you mean Aldena?"
" Arterus's AE didn't disappear" she said with extreme incredulous " the unknown took his energy!"
" Show me"
Aldena turns the Abstract Energy Reader towards Etraeus and shows her the data. Etraeus's face showcases her disbelief
"Aldena, locate Arterus's AE right now. If we can find out where it is then we can possibly discover who it was who took it"
" At once Supreme Goddess". Aldena begins to track the energy when she suddenly stops and shows Etraeus the data. " I was able to track his energy to a lower dimension- wait something is happening! How can this be? His energy is appearing in multiple places in this dimension!"
"Someone is dispersing his power" Etraeus said
"Is that even possible Supreme Goddess?"
" It would appear so. Tell me, where is the last place in that dimension where the reading stops?"
" It stops on a planet. From the readings I am getting this planet does not possess a large amount of AE but has tremendous Abstract Potential."
" What is this planet Aldena?"
" It is called Earth, Supreme Goddess"
Etraeus pauses for a moment as she closes her emerald eyes and takes a deep breath. " Aldena, you are to go to this planet Earth and locate the individual who did this to Arterus. Bring them back to me so that I may get answers from them"
" At once my Supreme. Shall I prepare myself for your Aspect Supreme Goddess?"
"No" she replied " If we can track the enemy and they were able to sneak into Arterus's room then there is no guarantee they cannot also track us. You would be bathed in my energy and giveaway any advantage you may have. You will take an Astral Piercer to Earth. Now go and complete your task"
" Your will is my way and your way is my salvation" Aldena says as she puts her thumb to her right breast, index and middle finger pointed upwards. As she leaves the room Etraeus returns her gaze back to Arterus and kneels down over his body. "Tell me brother, why do I feel as if your death was the opening salvo to war? " Etraeus goes through the tear and seals it away. She makes her way towards her throne and as she sits down a screen pops up in front of her. " Attention All Supremes, I request we reconvene at Highpoint immediately. I have troubling news"
