Rial's Karasuki Soliloquy:
In the beginning, I finally felt happy again. The reason being: 'I have finally found a family that won't leave their child alone. But, as time went on, it did what it does best; which was to take them away.
Suffering has been my best teacher, it teaches you the most important lessons in life. And no matter what comes in your way, you would at the very least endure it until the very end.
I have seen many people die with my own eyes. It felt cold at first, but as I said, I had to learn and endure. But then, I had no one, I carried myself and that was when Lily and Mary became the most important people in my life. But, to be honest the pain never left me, I just learnt how to live with it, despite the difficulty.
Then, just as I thought that I had found a family filled with peace, they also died by a man they knew very well. He is the one person I can never forgive in this world.
My mind is made up. Despite the difficulty, I will one day 'kill the man known as Rushed Tsukasa.' Even if the kingdom tries to stop me, then I will deal with them, there is nothing standing in my way.
Lily, Alphia, Aishia and Aria are people I mostly can be my true self around. I guess maybe I understand what Max feels for Arisu-chan. Maybe, just by the tiniest bit of hope, I can learn to love again.

Lady Stella's invitation:
9/6/998
It was Friday when lady Stella called me to meet her at the Spirit Village Guidance room. After, the events from yesterday, I had grown tired so I wanted to sleep more than usual but duty calls I guess...
"Who is the user of the death ball?" I murmured deeply.
It could be anyone in the village, but all the villagers act nicely towards me even though 'I am a human." In this village, there is only a human here; and that is me, I also know that the user has been working behind the scenes before I even got here.
Whoever he is, I think he has been in the military before and has a good record of people names and identity. To be precise, he must be very intelligent, cunning and perceptive. I think he must work in the guidance hall, library, military force or must be a school staff member.
If I narrow them, then only library staff, military members and guidance hall members. These are places where he can work behind the scenes, and still kill people with them knowing.
"Anyways, I must get to lady Stella."
I wore the best clothing I had in my bag, I wore it and began walking down stairs. As I reached the end of the stairs, I made eye contact with Alphia and Aria, who were having breakfast.
"How are you two doing?" I asked them.
"I am fine, thank you for asking." Said Aria.
"The morning is kinda boring so I guess I'm bored." Alphia replied.
I stared at her wondering what to her means fun.
"If you are bored then play with someone. I mean you are sitting with your friend right,"I said.
"You are no fun." She replied back.
"Alphia, I think you need to consider how others feel before saying something," Aria politely said.
"Ah! What do you mean?" Alphia asked in deep confusion.
Eye made contact with Aria, telling her to smack her head like Sera does. She nodded and formed the sign Sera always used. She hit her on the head making her scream in pain.
"Ouch! Not you too," Alphia cried out.
"I am sorry, but I had to do that." She replied.
"Well. Keep having fun, my presence is needed in the Guidance room so I am going to go." I said and left them.

Story of the truth:
I made my way to lady Stella's spirit to talk with her about something I have noticed. I sped to her tree, where she lived.
The god-tree is a tall tree that produces a lot of natural energy, which in turn makes charkra. Then, after charkra is made, it is manipulated to create what we call mana.
I knocked on the god-tree and waited. She performed spirit art on me, which took me to the home of lady Stella.
"Hello, lady Stella." I told her.
"Rial, what has been going on in life?" She Asked.
"I am doing just fine and you?"
"You mean me, I can never get sick or troubled,"
"Right."
"Would you like tea, coffee, or coco?" She asked me curiously.
It is an interesting question that I have asked in many countries, or in my experience 'lives.' They are all good but offer different kinds of satisfaction. Maybe, I will choose coco.
"I think coco."
Lady Stella stood up and flew to her kitchen, which was located at the high end of her tree. I watched her as she flew and wondered, "How is she flying like that?"
Now that I think about it, Both Alphia and Aishia can also fly thanks to their magic abilities. Maybe I will learn it through one of them.
"So, how is your research going?" She asked.
"Nothing much, just watching and waiting.... I mean you could tell me if you want... But I guess you have other plans!" I said with a calm expression.
Looking at my expression, lady Stella smirked silently while she was straight. I only saw it because the left side of her face showed her lips curved.
"Oh! What do you mean by that?" She asked.
"Hmm! Who knows?"
"Tell me everything you know!" She asked, a bit angry.
"First of all, I know that you are a manipulative person, you also have a nasty personality." I said to her.
Her smile became wider this time. She looked at me, there was a brief silence like she was looking at a different person she used to know.
"You have changed so much!" She said.
"What are you talking about?" I asked.
"I will tell you when the time is right."
"So. I was correct wasn't I, Rio and Kakashi are the reincarnation of Mikary Karasuki, well, except that; it was only his soul and spirit that reincarnated in both of them."
Her face turned a deep shade of dark, she seemed very angry but also I had no way of stopping me.
"...?" The expression on her face seems to calm down just a bit slightly. "How did you find out?"
"That is not important now. Is Eigi and Rui also the reincarnation of Ryuo the first king?"
She sighed and spoke. "I didn't want you finding out, but it seems I couldn't keep the secret they embedded in me."
It seems that they told her to keep their identities hidden in case someone came looking for them.
*Stella's perspective: I guess, they are really different from you guys. Riah the transcendent. Jura, they may look like you guys, but their personalities wouldn't be more different.*
Rial's perspective:
"I guess, my presence isn't needed anymore, so I will be on my way."
I stepped outside calmly. The air brushing against my face, there was something I wanted to ask but that has to wait.

A flashback, four days ago:
5/6/998
I wanted to ask Eigi and Max something, so I called them by phone. I picked up my phone and selected the phone number for Max. I pressed the call button, he answered on the third ring.
"Hey, how are you doing?" I asked.
"Everything is calm around here, what about you?" I asked.
"Things are fine, I just met my grand-parent not too long ago though." I answered him, even though that was a lie. But, true at the same time, since Eva is my little sister, that also makes lady Uka my grandmother on Eva's side.
Max seemed to jump from his chair, seemingly curious about my situation.
"Wait! Really... Ah... Congratulations." Not finding the proper words, Max used what seemed appropriate to the situation.
"Yeah, but firstly, I wanted to ask something that kinda feels random." I said.
"Okay."
"Do you sometimes feel like you have lived another life that has been watching you since birth?" I asked.
"Huh? That is a weird question." he said.
"I know but answer."
"Yeah, now that you say it, I think during the Survival test in the forest, I think I saw someone in my dream. He is very tall and masculine, he has a insane build as well but he almost didn't seem human. He had human features but not the spirit of one."
"So, you saw one too, huh! The Mylodians."
"What are mylodians?"
"I don't know much but the thing I have read about is that they cultivate their life on planets then they slowly shift them to another dimension."
"Huh! Are they here on Isal?" He asked in panic but still maintained her calm expression.
"Don't worry, the one you saw was probably dead."
"Alright, just keep me informed if anything happens."
"I will."
We ended the call from there, but I wasn't done. I called Eigi this time.
"Rial. How have you been?" He asked.
"I have been fine but I wanted to ask a quick question."
"Go for it!" He answered.
"During the Northern Kingdom incidence, after the queen's departure. You said you saw a vision of someone talking to you. Can you give a physical description about him."
"Wasn't that like a year ago... But somehow I still remember what he looked like." He said.
"That is good then."
"From what I could remember, he was very tall, he also had deep red eyes like Rui's. He shone with bright, radiant light. His skin was as pure as snow. These are characteristics that stood out to me." He said.
"So if I am not wrong, then you saw a transcendent being."
"Yeah, I think so."
"Alright, thank you!" I said.
"Good night."
~~~~~~~
Back to the present:
So, From the description Max and Eigi gave me. I can say that Max saw a transcendent who abandoned his duties as one, then later he joined the mylodians. Eigi saw a transcendent who never abandoned and chose to fight.
"So, I guess the legend about the eight heroes of transcendent are true and they will be coming soon."
