Reborn With The All Seeing Eye

"Next, your Father fought, while I hid you away... With one last look at you, I sealed your Powers, which hid you from them... It was the most painful thing I did."

She smiled at her daughter:

"I went back to the Village, and joined your Father, who was against the idea... But how could I leave him alone? After the brutal battle we were surrounded by thousands of soldiers, but we made sure to cripple the Skull... We sacrifice ourselves, just to stop Skull, and trap them in the red realm, in the gate deep inside the Dead Sea..."

She sighed helplessly:

"Our Sacrifice was a selfless act, so no one knew about it... We're the ones who trapped the Skull, but it seems they are released. Their new ruler is a very powerful goddess, stronger than even the Child of the Sky..."

This revelation shocked Stellar.

"Even stronger than Aaron? Then how can we defeat her."

"Fufufufu... My daughter want to know something more important than your world itself... Well... You'll know after you pass your test."

"Test?" Stellar asked in mild confusion.

"Yeah, you are here so you can avenge us... And to do that, you must have your complete powers. Pass the test and you'll know the rest."

She stood up, and stretched out her hand to Stellar, helping her up.

"Come on, Now."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Before Stellar could think of anything, the surroundings instantly changed.

Whizzed!

She looked around in mild confusion, seeing she was in an Arena, made out from bones... Humans' bones... This was a whole lot different from the beautiful forest she appeared in.

"Welcome, Daughter."

Stellar looked up at the podium, seeing her mother sitting on a golden throne... Her gaze fixed on her.

"Mum? What's this about?" She asked.

"Your first Test... And I'll be your judge. I hope you can see where you're currently standing, and to past this test, you need to withstand the mind attack from your opponents."

"Opponent(S) like with the "S" behind?"

"You can say it that way... Withstand for 10 minutes, and you pass, fail... Well, you lose, and no revenge."

Stellar thought for some seconds, and nodded with a resolute determination.

"Let's start!"

"That's my girl."

She smiled, and snapped her fingers.

BOOM!!!

The whole arena trembled, and the ground cracked open.

Stellar watched in shock, as black spirits flew out from the cracks, and hovered above her.

"Come on."

Stellar channeled her energy, and sent a blast towards a spirit.

BOOM!

The Spirit shattered into smoke.

"Yes!"

Stellar exclaimed in joy: "Nine to g-- Huh?"

She was stunned, seeing the smoke merging back together, and formed the spirit.

"Your attacks are ineffective, Dear... Don't forget the test rules."

"Rules? You didn't mention any rule!" Stellar yelled.

"As you said." Her mother smiled.

Stellar turned to the spirits, and the next moment; they all shot towards her... And stopped right in front of her.

BOO!

"Huh?"

Stellar tilted her head to the side, a little stunned.

"Fufufufu... That's funny, right?"

"Huh?"

Stellar stared at the spirits in confusion, then turned her head to her mother:

"I don't get." She said.

"Not everything is as it seems... You just need to wait and watch... But you didn't, and attacked... Your first lesson is, never attack anyone without knowing if he/she or it is your friend or foe... Looks can deceive, don't they?"

"This?" Stellar was stunned.

"Did... Did I fail?"

"Hmm... Not really, but you listened, and didn't attack."

"So, did that mean I pass?"

The Women stood up with a smile.

"By chance, Make sure you listen before attacking in the next round."

Before Stellar could ask what round, the two disappeared, and appeared on top of a Volcano.

"This is your second test... Endurance, and Intelligence."

Stellar walked towards the huge pit in the center, and looked down seeing Lava rising.

"..."

"You have 30 seconds to think of a why out of here... Jump down the hill and meet your death. Stay up here, also meet your death... And you can't fly."

She said, sitting down on a throne above the hill.

Stellar took some steps back, thinking of ways to survive, but after twenty seconds she got nothing... And yelled at her mother.

"This isn't fair!! How can something think of a way when there isn't a way, and time to think?!!"

"Just as you say... But love, you have to think of a way... And fast, the lava is already out."

Stellar stared at the lava flowing out from the hole, and took a step backwards.

"This!!"

She frowned, and got down on her knees... Then placed her palm on the ground, to her surprise, it was cold.

"How can it be cold, when there's a flowing Lava right in front of me? And this is a volcano... Or it is? Is this another illusion or tricks?"

She stood up, her gaze on the moving lava, which had covered one-third of the hill surface.

'Hmm... What are you going to do, Honey? These are all easy tests I specifically choose for you... The other ancestors wanted to give you the hardest, but I refused... So don't fail me.' She thought, staring at Stellar, who started drawing something on the ground.

'Is that a rune?' She was stunned. And silently watched as it glowed brightly...

Moment next:

"Huh?" She was stunned.

Stellar stood up, and observed the water moving towards her. "I was right, Water."

"By using your surroundings, you discovered the illusion, and also used your brain to stop it... But... You returned it to its true form... How will you escape the waters?"

Stellar looked up at her mother, and smiled.

"That's easy."

Stellar ran towards the pit, stepping on the cold waters, while her mother watched as She leaped into the air, and entered the water, diving downward.

"Hmm..."

She silently waited for her.

Stellar dived into the water, holding her breath as she moved deeper... After looking right and felt, she discovered a plug, which clearly looked out of place, and swam towards it... She gripped the plug, and started pulling.

After a whole ten seconds, she pulled out the plug, and the water reversed, moving inside the hole with an unholy force, carrying her with it.

'No!!'

Stellar yelled inwardly, and activated all her energy, boosting her body upward.

Her mother watched as the waters redrew back inside the pit, her face filled with surprise and worries.

BAM!!!

Stellar shot out from the pit, falling heavily on the ground.

"Cough!! Cough!"

She coughed off the water she had swallowed, and lied down on the hill surface.

"Impressively done."

She sat up, and turned to her mother, a slight frown on her face.

"This doesn't make sense!" She stood up from the ground.

"It will... Now your third, and last test."

With a dark expression, stellar asked:

"What... Forget it, Let's get this over with." She said.

"Slow down there... In this round, you used both your brain and Endurance... That's good.... But your thinking speed is low, you'll have to work on that in the last round."

Stellar blinked in surprise: "I'm not doing anythi--"

Whizzed!!

The surroundings changed before she could complete her word.

Stellar stopped, and looked around the place. Seeing she was in a battlefield, and the unholy number of monsters before her.

"This?!" Stellar moved back in horror.

"Your last test... You have two objectives, complete any of these objectives, you win."

Her mother appeared above her. Her gaze fixed on the army.

"Your first objective, Kill at least half of this army. And your second objective: Survive for 30 minutes."

Stellar blinked a couple of times, and stared at her mother in horror.

"Mum! Why are you suffering me?!!" She yelled.

"Suffering you?" Her mother was stunned by the question.

"Yes! Why send all these monsters?! How can I fight an army, when the weakest is an Omega-stage Monster?!"

"My love... You're my beloved child, I'll never suffer you, If you put it the right way, I'm helping you pass this test... The Ancestors wanted to give you the hardest tests... But I helped you."

"The hardest?" Stellar was stunned.

"That means?" She looked at the monsters in surprise.

"Yes, If you had taken their test... The weakest here will be a Demon-stage monster."

"Ahhh!!"

Stellar was horrified... "Why would they do that?!" She asked.

"Our race are once the strongest, so they expect you to be the strongest... Oh, how did they put it; yes! "Our honor and position remained the same" yeah, that's how the old man said it."

She smiled, and added, more seriously now:

"Stellar, please don't fail this test. If you do; you are dead... This time, for real... Please, I hope you understand how important this is?"

Stellar took a deep breathe, and turned her head to the army of monsters before her... She smiled remembering her friends, and nodded at her.

"Thanks Mum! I won't fail you, and my friends!!"

BOOM!!!

An unknown amount of energy burst out from her, and a long sword appeared in hand.

"Come on."

She said with killing intent, pointing her sword at the monster.

"Attack."

With her mother's command, the monsters all shot towards Stellar.

"Our future now rests on your shoulders... Make us proud." She said in a low voice.
