Revelation Of The Chosen (Book 1 of The Radiant Warrior Series)

Chapter 41: The Balance Between Light and Dark Tipped

"My dear brothers and sisters, it is not a rumour. I went to the Archives before I arrived here, for I felt, unlike the rest of you, a disruption in the balance between Light and Dark, the order of things."

"I found an injured Onyx clinging for his life. He was attacked by the intruder, and left for dead."

"What? Onyx? No, say it is not so? How is he? Where is he? Is he alright?" demanded a now standing Hallious and the light shifted to him, elucidating his handsome but worried face.

Valliantious raised his arm for him to remain calm. "I reassure you Hallious he is alright and resting in my chambers."

Hallious sighed in relief and sat back down.

Valliantious continued with his revelation. "According to Onyx, it was a Dark Warrior and he stole several scrolls."

Heliocana interrupted Valliantious and the lime light fell on her. "Onyx must have touched the door out of curiosity. It was his first time there and when it reacted to his touch, he must have panicked."

"The only way for him to not suffer from humiliation and retribution was to blame it on a follower of the Messiah of Darkness which everyone seems to do a lot lately."

"How dare you!" interjected Hallious pointing angrily at Heliocana. "Onyx is one of the noblest warriors out there. He would never do such a thing!"

"It is the only explanation," shouted Heliocana. "After all we have felt the Messiah's hold on this world dying, day by day."

Hallious continued defending Onyx and then another uproar began between the six Hyods. The lime light from the chandelier shifted back and forth from each Hyod for they all attempted to speak and be heard at the same time.

Valliantious stood and observed the council. The tension in the air was rising even higher. He looked disappointed and ashamed of each of them. They were like traders at an auction, trying to out bid and win the prize of a lifetime.

"Enough! Enough!" said Valliantious loudly without raising his voice. "All of you are acting like younglings!" and the white light fell on him and the council fell into utter silence.

"We are the Council of Hyods, leaders of the Light. Is this how we are going to act towards each other, calling each other liars and disrespecting each other?"

"The Archives has been infiltrated and it appears Omegon is preparing his arsenals for The Third Great War. It is time for us to find out what the Dark Warrior took so we can combat it," articulated Valliantious.

"You are right," replied Blackthorn and the lime light fell upon him, "We have been acting like younglings. We should not be arguing, instead we should be concentrated on finding out who this Dark Warrior is and what he stole."

"Then it is settled. We will have to use the Valour of the Hyods," said a strict Valliantious.

Each of the Hyods nodded in agreement and stood up firmly. They elevated their right arm to the middle of the granite table, and started to concentrate on unifying as one.

Their special Rudiment encircled each of them like a cyclone from their right arm. A typhoon encircled Ponthious, a hurricane devoured Valliantious, and an inferno coerced Haliocana.

The milieu of their special Rudiments started to rise into the air from their right arm.

The chandelier and the rest of the chamber darkened except for the rising depictions and Rudiments which was wrapping itself around the rest of their body like a scarf.

The Rudiments rushed to the middle of the chamber like starved animals and forged into a white diamond which illuminated the room in pure white light.
