Chapter 266: Prologue 2: The Sky's the Limit
"Liam~!!"
Draxus woke up from his bed in the middle of the night, seeing a vision from his dreams. He continues to remember a girl with long pink hair that always smiles. "This dream again...? If I remember correctly... Liam is the soul of nobility...?" Draxus started monologuing, thinking about who exactly the person was in his dreams. He decided to leave his bed and go towards the balcony to clear up his thoughts.
"Pink hair... The first one that comes up when it comes to pink hair for some reason is Gayle." Draxus' thoughts first entered with thinking Gayle could be a one of them, which to him is a terrible concept. "But the personality... And how she always hums... Gwen comes to mind." Draxus smiled, matching the personality of the girl in the dreams to be similar to Gwen. After some more time thinking, he left his room planning to sleep on a different room.
While walking towards the other rooms, he remembered what had happened during the fight with Josh. Draxus intended to make use of [Theory Magic] to manifest Josh's [Nothingness] into an actual physical object, but due to the spur of the moment, he accidentally manifested his Prime form. "I should be more careful when using the unstable theory magic, it's just so hard to rely on it perfectly..." Draxus specializes in Theory Magic, which is why he was able to overwhelm Gayle and then Josh with his relentless attacks with heavy variety. Before long, he arrives in front of Gwen's room.
He silently opened the door, to not disturb Gwen in her sleep. When he arrived to just about in front of Gwen he heard another voice in his head.
"Liam~!! Let's sleep together~!!"
The girl appeared in his memories again, he held his face trying to think deeper, hoping to remember more clearly. Gwen started to wake up a bit, she was a bit surprised to see Draxus in front of her. "Drax...?" She was too sleepy to actually react, but she was fine with Draxus appearing in her room. The fiancés actually allow it, just as they sneak into Draxus' room from time to time, Draxus would also do the same. "Ah, my bad, I just can't really sleep peacefully recently..." After hearing Draxus, Gwen simply reached her arms out and sleepily offered to him.
"Drax~... Let's sleep together~..."
Draxus instantly flashed the memory of the girl in the dreams towards Gwen. The hair color were absolutely different, but they were completely the splitting image. Draxus widened his eyes as he then joined Gwen on the bed. The two slept together, cuddling happily as Draxus was finally able to drift off to sleep.
Serkyrio was still working on his office, and has not slept for about half a week. He sensed a major feeling that Draxus will soon awaken the next soul. "So [Nature] is finally awakening? Some things really just go my way even if I don't interfere huh...?" Serkyrio smiled as he already knew what the soul's abilities are. "I guess the mission will be quite a rainy day."
A noble was walking through a town, each human within the vicinity was greeting him happily as he continues walking towards the center of the town where the crowd was gathering. At the center of the crowd, was a young girl singing with her elegant voice.
The girl had pink hair, pink eyes, and a beautiful smile that attracted everyone. The noble always takes some of his time off to come to the center of the town to watch the songstress. As the girl was very close to the noble. After the girl stopped singing, she spotted the noble and immediately rushed towards him with a beaming smile. "Liam~!!" She dove towards the noble as she called out his name. Liam caught the girl easily and the two spun a bit. The crowd cleared up for them as they were a well known couple among the commoners. The two were childhood friends and still were together despite the difference in status. "I've come Eve..." "Ehee~ Liam came~!" The two started to walk around together, going through around town without separating.
As soon as the two arrived to the forest, they had their usual picnic, with only the swaying of the trees and the flowing river as the sound. The two of them would always share their team with each other, spending every bit of moment together ever since childhood, even until the present time when the two are already adults. They're always known as the Songstress and the Genius. Despite their titles, both of them are actually quite talented and powerful, having received the same education and having the same levels of talent.
After having a picnic together, they decided to head towards Liam's home, where they would never be disturbed in whatever things they do. They would always spend time together from Eve singing for Liam alone, to even cuddling in bed for hours. And around nighttime, it was finally supposed to be time for Eve to return home. "I could make it rain so she could stay here for longer... But that would also deny me my final plan..." Liam brought Eve towards the balcony of the mansion first, a sight that she was not able to see was the town they stay in light up under the beautiful starry sky in the evening. Eve was excited, happy for being shown such a beautiful view of the town. Liam then knelt down on one knee behind her, bringing out a ring.

Draxus woke up early, having slept very peacefully woke up with better clarity in his head. "So her name was Eve... And she does behave like Gwen..." Draxus smiled as he tightened his hold on Gwen, who was still sleeping peacefully with him. Her smile was a bit smug as she seemed like she was having a great dream while being hugged by him. Because of how Draxus always couldn't move when he sleeps with one of his fiancés, he decides to sleep lightly just waiting for his partner to wake up.
"Atmosphere and Nature huh...? I guess I could make use of those a lot..." Draxus pondered as wondered what to do with the abilities he had learned.
