Ascension of the Nephilim

During the great wars of the Planeworld, when the Eldrich took up arms and challenged the light leading to a massive war between the ones that reside in the light and the one tucked away in the darkness, the defeat of the Eldrich was largely attributed to the power that the dominions of Light had.

That power was the power to petition from the legacy given by one of the daughters of Soter himself. The power of Wish.

With Wish, the Light had received tremendous power that could change the tide of the battle. And even now, the mysterious power of Wish remained to be one of the strongest arsenals of the light.

Little did Kyros know the mystery of Foresight was far beyond what even Kyros believed it was. The power behind it was so strong that it was comparable to the great power invoked by the lords of the Planesworld from the legacy of Greater God Precari Solas.

Foresight was able to replicate a very minuscule power of Wish. But at the level that they had, Foresight could \'direct\' the Fate Challenger towards their wish. The extent of what they can ask or search for increases as the level grows.

Kyros was at the second stage of Foresight. The first stage of Foresight was called the Medium Challenger stage. The second was Clairvoyant Challenger and the third Seer Challenger. Each stage had ten levels, and Kyros had attained the highest level of Foresight, being at the sixth stage of Clairvoyant. The battles and how he absorbed the forces of Destiny allowed him to raise the next levels of this power.

But now, he wasn\'t the only one.

Kyros didn\'t focus on improving the Fate Challenger and wanted the team to focus on knowledge and strength to increase their fighting capacity. But Scarlet knew that the fastest way to increase her power was related to Foresight.

The desire of Scarlet was to find a way to win the heart of Kyros. And through that desire, the path was made open. A miracle occurred. The power of Foresight began to touch upon the power of Wish. At that moment, a faint trembling occurred within the Library of the Light, but no one took notice.

Every cell in the body of Scarlet somehow found a way to perform Foresight. Then, instinctively, the cells began to choose the route of its vampiric path.

Hidden deep inside the bloodline of Scarlet was the blood of the Charmed Fallen. And in it was the power of the Succubus.

It was a bizarre power as Scarlet managed to take control of the evolutionary path of her cells. They were all technically vampires, but they were also vampires with the blood of various powerful beings. Their master itself was something that shouldn\'t even be classified as a vampire.

As Scarlet continued to meditate, the power of her Foresight that invoked a wish had finally created a single cell of different form. She now had a Devil Cell.

Kyros\'s vows and limitations on all his Coven were very light. In Scarlet\'s search for power, she had not violated any of the laws imposed by Kyros, and so, she managed to break free from the limits of her innate race as a vampire, and she was slowly transforming into a devil race.

Suddenly, strange darkness formed in front of her. The darkness had the shape of a woman, and it was as if the woman was calling out for her.

The moment the figure appeared, a great fear grasped Scarlet. She knew what this woman was.

It was a Fallen. And she was sure that this was a Fallen serving destiny.

"The Charmed Fallen!" Scarlet thought. Her body was frozen stiff, and she couldn\'t even scream. She let out a groan, but the darkness was quickly taking shape.

"Xarmolipi. It\'s been a while." Another voice called out of nowhere. It was the voice of a woman.

The dark figure was startled as she heard the voice and immediately retreated.

"You\'ve come a long way. Stay awhile." The voice answered, and a strange light bound the dark woman.

"You truly wish for this?" The voice called out to Scarlet. It was a voice of unknown origin. Scarlet was still in a frozen state. But somehow, she knew her thoughts would reach this voice.

"Who are you?"

"Your desire exaggerated, and it\'s even wrong. You know this, yet you continue? But why? Why do this for a man whom you barely know? Why are you willing to go this far?" The voice asked scarlet.

Scarlet was surprised at the question. She hadn\'t thought about this.

"I... don\'t know." She answered. Scarlet felt that while her attraction was real, there was no easy answer to answer such a question.

"You don\'t know? The path you are taking is a path far worse than that of a vampire. Succubus is devils. Beings that are not only Dark Dependent, but they are also Dark Derived. And the Path you choose is even more dangerous. It draws you closer to the power of the Charmed Fallen. As you can see, she even appeared. You unknowingly became a person who will carry Xarmolipi\'s name."

"That woman... is Xarmolipi? The Charmed Fallen?" Scarlet asked.

"Yes. She was here to complete the ritual you requested and wished for. Your desire is so great that it used the power of Mysterion and managed to force Xermolipi Phaulos of the Foul Fallens to bestow her power on you! Little girl, you would be bestowed with her name. You would be a Xermolipi!"

"What?!"

"You created a Devil cell! And that\'s... quite amazing, honestly. I can sense the Nephilim borrowing the power of the Celestial Code, but since Calaminus is in this picture, I can guess how he is doing this. But you, you called the Charmed Fallen! You Charmed her!" The voice spoke.

"I... I just wanted to..."

"I know what you wanted! If you managed to draw out Xarmolipi, it could only be \'that\' reason. And that reason is your desire for his attention and his affection. This lord of yours is even set on another. Why burden yourself to follow a path that you can\'t turn back from? You were about to become a minion of Destiny!"

"That... I\'m really not sure. I know that what I have for Lord Kyros is just a simple attraction. I am young and unlearned of the emotions of love. But I have seen death, and he has given me life. I wished to be by his side no matter what. And even now, that wish remains."

"So even though your Lord has set his heart on another, you choose to walk this path?"

Scarlet was silent. She trembled at the thought of becoming a minion of Destiny and realized where her desire would take her.

"You\'re right. I should..." But then Scarlet felt pain as she thought about it.

"No. I\'m sorry. I am not about to give up. Lord Kyros has given me the power to challenge Fate. And I will challenge it to have my lord for myself! I won\'t become a minion of Destiny! If I become one, how can I stand beside him?" Scarlet declared boldly.

"I know that we haven\'t known each other for that long. But I feel that... I have to do this even though I can answer why I am doing this! My heart has taken over, and my mind can do nothing but follow. So I must do this!" Scarlet answered.

"Ah... That Calaminus would often say to me, for love has its reasons that reason does not know. Spoken like someone who is truly worthy of my power."

It was then that Scarlet found herself standing in a strange place.

She found herself standing around a beautiful garden in the middle of a lake. The garden had a beautiful gazebo, and a woman stood there.

"Where...?"

"I am one that is hidden in the Library of Light. You have seen the awakening of Astra. Her descendants live on, and their attempts to draw out her power have forced her to make an appearance. But for me, I have been summoned by you! No doubt. You are my descendant!"

"Me?"

"The arrangement of Fate is to sure as the light that shines over the darkness. You are that who is destined to yearn but to never have. The cruelty of Fate to craft you and your heart to yearn for the Nephilim. It was through that desire that you called on Fate to move, and Fate allowed you to awaken the hidden power that comes from me."

"From you?

"Foresight triggered my power. I am the daughter of the Alone. The Absolute. And because you desired the very same thing I did, it invoked the power of Wish that the Gods named Solas to have. I am Zelah Solas. Through my name, mortals have derived two words from it. I am Zeal. For the desire of being Zealous comes from me. But because of my Zeal for love, I became another desire. I am the desire of being Jealous."

"Jealous?"

"That mother fragmenting Charmed Fallen took my love. And now, the situation that played itself spurred the power of me in you, and your desires triggered it. And now that Fate and Destiny work together to keep you two apart, just as it did with me! Fate stopped me from being with him to protect me. Destiny stopped him from being with me so as not to lose a Commander for the coming war. But now, Fate has allowed her promise to come true. Once more shall I have the opportunity to win my man! If you win the Nephilims heart, my love will return to me! Just as was decreed! Challenge Fate, oh bearer of my name. And through it, you can wield the power of the Charmed Fallen to its full extent without becoming a seed of Destiny."

"Wield the Charmed Fallen\'s power?"

"Jealousy caused me to become the Charmed Fallen.. I am like you, and our experiences are linked through Fate. Just like you, I invoked Wish through the power of Solas and desired to wield the power of the Charmed Fallen!"
