The Arks 138 The Ark Of Saving Everyone

"Old Man Pond, otherwise known as Matthew Pond, was the one who founded the Congregation. In other words, he was the boss of Gillian and me," explained Ysabeua, point down.

"But the fact that the Congregation had crumbled is proof that you guys are much stronger than him," questioned Nova.

Ysabeau let out a bitter laugh.

"Tell me, young Princess. How are you able to defeat the teacher that had taught the current two most powerful Mages when the duo were just rookies? Just because the organization had failed would mean that the people who founded were weak."

"If that's the case, why did they gave up on the organization? Did something tragic happened?"

"They were simply bored with saving everyone."

The Congregation was erected to help lost Mages to find their place within Earth. But as humans decided that they were better off without Magecraft, the Congregation was thrown into the pit chaos. Many lost their lives during that period, the almighty war between humans and Mages.

Echoing throughout Time, the Siege Of Mutants devastated both sides. The result was destroying the minds of countless civilians. A single Mage that came from the stars pa.s.sed some form of a curse called Corrupt.

Unlike any other, it was able to affect armies in a heartbeat. The power of that curse took a long time to die down and even after so long, it was still impossible to eradicate the curse. There was no denying the sheer damage it had done on both sides.

The Congregation was thrown into a state of frenzy as they were being held responsible for the amount losses that had piled up. Sentences after sentences, blame after blame. This weakened the bond between Humans and Mages significantly. Families were torn apart.

Children were unable to see their parents and babies were dragged away from mothers just after birth. Shelters meant for recuperation were bombed constantly. All because of a failed Time Movement and a stray Valokian.

In Valokia, the people there were all Light-based Mages, harnessing the power of judgment and goodness within the realm of Elements. Pure light, was what they were called. All except one particular Valkyrie. He seemed like the rest but was very mischievous and playful.

His wings were indigo while others were either white or gold. The Aura that he produced reeked of death, unlike the other Valkyries. Despite all that, he was able to function normally as a Valokian amongst the rest. It was when he had to join the military where everything started to crumble.

Within the military, the Aura that the fella had produced started to be contagious, eventually leading an entire army filled with the same Aura. They were like zombies, getting up even when they were beaten down. It was unknown as to why the Aura became so lethal and contagious.

All armed forces were activated to stop the Aura but collapsed the moment it hit the capital. To top it all off, the Valokian responsible went back to his hometown and murdered every being there.

With his mind being broken to no return and the Corrupted Aura swallowing his soul whole, he began to ravage other areas. The Aura within the planet started to become unbalanced within a short amount of time. This resulted in the ancient planet converging on itself.

As the last being walked amongst the desolated wasteland, the lone Valkyrie decided to use the last of his power to get away, called Time Movement. However, as he tried to open the Time Streams, the supernova had occurred, causing the Time Stream that he was aiming towards to convulse and break.

This tore him into a million pieces, scattered throughout Time. Thus, his Aura was also broadcasted to other areas, including Earth. After the ma.s.sacre made by the Siege of Mutants, there was a particular project called the Husks Program that surfaced in the guise of being a Protection Campaign.

Its t.i.tle was far from the truth as those who got rounded up were split into two groups, Mages and Humans. Normal and Abnormal. The initial 'advertising' had started that the ones with powers would be quarantined in a 'safe area' to make sure that weren't able to suffer through the war as a prime target.

However, when the Husks program came to light, it was finally unveiled to be a hoax. It was uncovered when the program's hosts were too desperate and took infants from Mages to fuel the program.

It was terrifying when the authorities of both sides recovered bodies. With their minds being the biggest victim of trauma and torture, it was no doubt that the experimented ones had died with broken minds. Whoever who made that Program was very determined to destroy between Mage and Human as if it needed more bonds to be broken.
