Chương 104: Heaven and Hell
I'm gonna call it an early night guys.... got training with Scarlet tomorrow morning." I said to everyone.
"Ohh okay.... good night Emilia." they all replied.
Eager to start reading on the things revealed tome in my vision I quickly made my way back to my room. Entering my room placing my books on the bedside table, I proceeded to swiftly clean myself up getting ready for bed and a nice long relaxing read. Just the thought of being able to relax on a bed getting lost in a book was extremely comforting.
Fully refreshed I wondered where the books could have ended up at, walking to my desk I totally forgot the stack of book Paul got for me on my first day... Quickly I searched for the three books i loaned through the stack but they were nowhere to be seen.
Leaning back on the desk I pondered on where they could be looking around my room but nothing seemed out of place..... "Ohh maybe the wardrobe Paul seems to have everything he needs in." I said to myself walking towards it.
Swinging the doors open there they laid on the top shelf the three books I borrowed before Helen and Jay arrived. Quickly grabbing them all of them I jumped in bed to get comfortable looking at both of them wondering which one I should read up on first.
"Introduction to the Nine Hell's, the nine levels of Torment for Sinners, Heretics and Evil Doers... Each layer more and more barren and harsh in their own ways. Each layer is ruled by their own Lord each equal to a God or Goddess within their own realms. Begin your journey as we venture down the River of Souls through the depths of the Nine Hells. Reading the back of the book.
"Planes of Existence... Among the great vast Astral Plane lies the several Planes of existence as well as the unfathomable near infinite copies on the small rock we call Earth. Imagine yourself swimming through the Astral Plane as we weave our way around exploring the Heavens and Hells and everything in between.
"Consecratus the Legendary Plane where King Soloman and his Floating Castle Originated. A strange land where Arcanum is unharnessed relying on a very primitive forms of Artificing, but somehow this Plane void of Arcanum users gave birth to the strongest and most impressive individuals to ever walk this plane."
'ARGHHHH where do I even begin?.... Is this what will really happen to Paul?..... If so doesn't that mean the orb vision was true and I can't even save him no matter how hard I try?...'
I slumped on the bed staring at the ceiling contemplating on what to do..... So the first vision didn't show much..... Except he sacrificed himself for the greater good, loved by many people and a small child by my leg....
The second vision showed that he died again and somehow I tried to resurrect him but failed because something or someone had his soul and that we needed to unlock the secrets of Atlantis.... To find him and fight anything that stood in our way....
Then the third vision he was possessed by a Devil or Demon.... and it had his soul and an Inferno contract... and that I was hunting them as a bargaining chip to get the information I want.....
So judging by the tattoos the first vision is the one that would come to pass... and it being golden means it will occur after I achieve S-Ranked....
.....Should I tell Paul of the vision.... or would that cause some weird paradox..... Or would telling him set him on the exact path I'm trying to prevent..... Maybe I should let Ashley and Scarlet know.... they would defiantly know what to do.....
Hmmm maybe I'll just start with planes of existence that seems like a good

I woke up to heavy thumping on the door... 'Urghhhh what time is it?.." I groggily woke up.
"Who is it?.." I struggled to shout still half asleep.
"It's me sis!" Scarlet shouted through the door.....
Hearing her name I instantly woke and began to hurriedly grabbed my three books and hid them under the mattress. "One minute!" I shouted back to her as quickly scanned the rest of the room making they weren't visible or anything suspicious.
"Okay!" Scarlet replied sounding jolly and excited.
Satisfied at everything I activated the coin and opened the door for Scarlet, "Morning, Come in." I welcomed her.
"Good morning!" She greeted me with a giant smile walking in.
"Is it tiresome to wear your plate armour everywhere?.." I asked.
"Nahh..... You'd get used to it." She smiled taking a seat on my bed looking around.
"You have a very tidy room!" She complimented me.
"Yeah... I like to be tidy.." I replied getting a towel and clothes ready for the day.
"That's totally opposite to Paul.... he's so messy and lazy when it comes to cleaning." Scarlet chuckled.
"Really?.." I asked walking into the bathroom, "I guess he's messy when I'm not bossing him around." I joked.
"Hard to imagine him being sacred of anyone." Scarlet laughed.
"So where's Paul?... have you heard from him?." I asked a little concerned.
"Yeah he's okay..... Just busy helping some Orphans." She replied.
"Ohhh..... Did he save some kids?.." I asked.
"You could say that..." She replied.
"Wait... I don't need a shower... I can just use a spell to clean myself up right?." I asked Scarlet through the door remembering Jay was able to clean my clothes yesterday.
"Umm..... If you're talking about Thaumaturgy it only works on inorganic things." Scarlet answered.
"Ohhhh." I replied turning on the shower, "I'll only be a few minutes." I yelled to Scarlet.
"No worries take your time." She answered.
The alarm bells rang in my head causing me to finish up my shower quickly and get ready for training. "Sorry I'm late!" I apologized to Scarlet walking out the shower ready to go.
"It's alright.... we have plenty of time." Scarlet smiled.
"Ohhh by the way.... everyone in my group wanted to ask if they could join us." I asked.
"Should be great, the more the merrier." Scarlet smiled.
"Ohhh can they join us today?.." I asked in disbelief.
"Yeah sure, why not?" Scarlet answered.
"Ohhh ohhh can we go get them?.." I asked almost jumping in excitement.
"Nah... I'll send them a message to meet us at Paul's room should be more convenient." Scarlet smiled.
"Ashley could you wake up... Helen, Grace, Jay and Daisy and ask them to meet me at Paul's room please?" Scarlet asked putting a finger on her ear. "Yes of course we are talking about Emilia's friends." She added after a few seconds. "Ohhhh one second." She asked and turned to me.. "Ummm what about Morgana?.." Scarlet asked quietly.
"Ummm... Sure?.." I agreed hesitantly.
"Add Morgana to that list as well" Scarlet asked Ashley, silently nodding listening to what I assume was a reply. "Okay sure...!" She replied to him and returned to normal. "Shall we?.." She asked me gesturing to leave.
"Sure!" I smiled grabbing my things.
"Sure!" Scarlet answered leading the way out my room.
"Ummm.... so what's heaven like here?.." I asked Scarlet as we made our way to Paul's Room.
"Hmm.... When individuals pass away..... They will be judged.... and if you're deemed a good person you would be sent up to Mount Caelestis to live among Gods and Angels and Other good Denizens..... Now if you're deemed a Bad person... you will be sent to one of the nine layer of hell.... to live in eternal torture, eventually bent and warped into a remnant of your former self living under the thumb of a whatever gruesome horror decided to claim you." She explained.
"….... hell sounds kinda ... normal.." I replied.
""Why do you ask?.." She questioned.
"Ummm nothing really.... was talking to Daisy about Faith and wondered what Heaven and hell was like.." I answered.
"Well there are other places you might land in the afterlife.... for example.... particular Orc Clans or war ridden races would end up in a Plane of Eternal war of fighting and battling." She explained.
"Ohhh that weirdly makes sense..... Different afterlife for different ways of life." I answered.
"Yes exactly that." Scarlet smiled.
"Can we travel there?.." I asked.
"Well.... travelling there is supposedly possible.... just almost impossible.... only legendary artefacts would allow individuals to traverse the Astral Plane, rumours has it there has been one spell that would allow someone to travel to another plane.... but it's lost through time or no one have claimed that they know it." She added.
"What about Paul?... Can his Portals Traverse the Astral Plane?..... He said he can visit home with it... which is another plane." I asked curiously.
"Yes his portals traverses Planes.... but going between Earth Planes is easy.... there are several Warpgates that Royalty and Diplomates use to negotiates and trade with other Planes of Earth.... but to ascended or descend into the Planes we mentioned earlier is almost impossible....." She explained.
"Ohhh okay..... So we can go to different Earths easily…. But if we wanted to visit Heaven or Hell it's almost impossible?.." I asked.
"Yup correct, unless you die of course then it's easy to get there." She smiled chuckling.
"Can creatures of another Plane get here?... like a Devil or Demon?.." I asked.
"I'm not sure about every Creature or monster, I wasn't a great listener in class.... but concerning Devils or Demons.... they need a body to possess them can't Physical enter this Plane... They must first be Summoned or Coaxed.... then a Vessel is needed to contain them for them to stay." She explained.
"Ohhh I see..." Nodding in understanding taking a step closer learning about my vision.
"Do you know anything about Solomon?.... Grace and Helen said he was the Ruler of Atlantis a long time ago that was able to traverse Planes." I asked still curious on why a Blue Dragon called me a Daughter of Solomon.
"Hmmmmm Solomon... Rings a bell... but I dunno.... best to ask Ashley or Paul... they listened more in class then I did." She sighed.
"What do you think will happen to you?.... When you pass on?.." I asked curious on what Scarlet believes in.
"Undoubtedly I'd be sent to the depths of hell....." She replied.
"Really?....." I asked in surprise.
"Yeah.... I've killed a lot of people..." She confessed sounding saddened.
"Yeah but you've done a lot good now?.... Right?....." I asked feeling slightly.
"Yes..... I try to do good now... and if the good outweighs my sins.... then maybe my soul would be saved." She replied.
"What would you like to happen?.." I asked.
"I want to see my mother." She said with a serious and harsh tone.
"You don't know who your mother is?.." I asked.
"I do know who she is.... but I can't remember what she looks like.... Nor have I ever met her." She replied.
"I'm so sorry..." I instinctively replied.
"It's okay! I have a family now that I know will love me more than my mother ever would!" She replied smiling placing an arm around my shoulder.
"Yes you do!" I smiled back.
