Rebirth of the Nameless Immortal God

Dyon saw images of Lionel and Evelyne struggling in the outskirts of an unknown territory. With Lionel being a cripple now, having been stripped of his Belmont bloodline, he could only rely on Evelyne. Oddly enough, the makeshift couple stayed together despite their struggles.

Then Dyon saw images of Lilith and Sokzac, as well as the other Devil Path geniuses. They muddled about their newfound Sect, suffering hardships while trying to keep their true power hidden.

Sokzac frequently fought unwinnable battles, trying to protect not only his prestige, but that of his fiancée as well. It seemed that Lilith's heart had grown a soft space for Sokzac within, even more profound than it had been back at Soul Rend Peak.

Asyna, the dark elf, was especially affected. It seemed her loss to Dyon fueled her to greater heights, pushing her forward with a ferocity. She trained harder, sweat more, bled more, she left nothing on the table, giving it her all.

But then there were scenes Dyon didn't fully understand. Like sights of the secluded Kitsune and their unknown new Void Clan Head.

The scenes continued to shift, as though trying to find something that effected Dyon greatly. However, it failed. Despite being despicable, the Heavens were forced to follow its own rules. The War God trial was meant to make a genius aware of the consequences of their actions. Therefore, it was unable to use Dyon's parents against him since their death weren't as a consequence of any actions he, himself took.

For the Battle God and anyone else who shared an unbridled arrogance, this trial would shatter them wholly. However, Dyon didn't seem effected at all.

Unfortunately, the Heavens would never allow things to end like this. When the scene shifted to Jade's ice sculpture and the Heavens detected the ripple in Dyon's heart, it immediately latched on, refusing to let go.

The scene of Dyon walking to the top from the Acacia Academy Library overwhelmed his vision. Suddenly, he could no longer control his actions. Instead, he was thrust a life he could only watch.

At this time, Dyon's manifestation had just awoken and set the Elvin Kingdom ablaze. Yet, while everyone else was losing their minds trying to figure out the owner of the arrogant words in the sky, he was sharing a calm, sweet moment with a silver haired beauty…

[Author's Note: This is the first chapter of a few I plan on writing that rehash Dyon's first meetings with Jade. The ~ represent sections taken verbatim from previous chapters I've written while the normal text are new and represent how matters play out from Jade's perspective. It'll be an interesting ride to see just how Jade went from pure hearted young woman to murderer and just what role Dyon played…]

~Dyon smiled a warm smile, "Hello."

The beauty smiled, looking down.

Dyon tilted his head in confusion until he noticed a distinct breeze and his lack of pants. He chuckled, "You're quite bold, Silver Fairy. I'm quite happy to be here for your viewing pleasure."

The girl's light laughter filled the library's roof top as the last light of Dyon's aurora faded out of existence.

"Are you even aware of the commotion you just caused?" Her voice was light and inviting, still carrying a hint of amusement.

Dyon stood, causing the girl's curious eyes to scan him once again as he slid on a new pair of sweats, lamenting the fact he had lost a pair until he realized he could just make new ones with his Essence Stage Aurora.

Dyon chuckled to himself, 'Using array alchemy to make sweatpants? Who would have thought?"

"What commotion was that?" Dyon asked, curious as to what she meant.

The silver haired beauty didn't seem to be paying attention as she studied Dyon's handsome face. Suddenly she started as she noticed his ears were distinctly human.

"You're human… It's rare to see someone as handsome as you even in our kingdom, I didn't expect that," She said with a smile that seemed to outshine everything else.

Dyon could still feel endless heat coming off of himself, so he forewent the shirt and instead sat on another array, facing the beauty.

"Elves really are a beautiful race," He said softly. Dyon was imperceptibly radiating a domineering will. Usually the silver-haired girl wouldn't be so bold, but Dyon's demonic will was affecting her emotions without her realizing.

The girl shook her head gently as Dyon thought about how beautiful Madeleine would be when she reached her age. He shivered in excitement.

"You're looking at me but thinking of someone else?" The girl's lips pouted slightly. She was quite adorable.

Dyon chuckled, "A woman's intuition is truly something else… or does it have to do with your cultivation?"

The girl smiled mysteriously, "Why don't you tell me about her?"~

Jade's opal eyes swirled with beautiful colors, blinking as she awaited Dyon's answer. She found this human quite interesting. Despite his words making him seem like a playboy, she could see into his mind quite easily. As such, she knew quite well that even if she made the first move, this mysterious young man would reject her for the sake of the woman he was thinking of now.

This made Jade incredibly curious. Not only was she a beauty by human standards, but even within the Elvin Race, aside from maybe some ladies of the desire-filled Norville family, none could match her looks. In fact, she could see the image of the woman within this mysterious man's thoughts right now. Although she was truly beautiful, she had yet to mature, being only about 17 years old. As such, it was impossible for her to match Jade as things stood now.

'Could there really be such a pure hearted man?' Jade thought, her heart beat involuntarily quickening as she looked into the mysterious young man's hazel-green eyes.

~Dyon smiled, thinking back to the elegant young lady. Her brunette hair in a bun and her crystal framed glasses accenting her shimmering golden eyes, "I'm quite conflicted. My mother always taught me to never speak of another woman in front of one. But, she also taught me to never disappoint a lady. What do you think I should do?"

"Your mother sounds like a woman that managed to be your father's only wife. I would have liked to meet her." She said with sympathy in her eyes.

Dyon smiled, becoming even more intrigued by this woman. How could she read him so well? How did she know that his mother wasn't alive to meet?~

Jade's sympathy wasn't faked. She truly felt her heart ache. Despite Dyon's nonchalant mentioning of his mother, she could clearly feel the pang in his heart when she was mentioned.

This was a kind of pain Jade was all too familiar with. Although she herself hadn't faced any hardship in her life, the pain of others always became her own. Right now, it was as if it was her who lost her parents and not Dyon.

As for Jade's parents, those so-called Clan Members of hers tried to hide it, but she was well aware that her parents were long gone. They tried to keep her mentally stable by giving her those phony foster parents, but her abilities were far beyond even what they thought. She had long since seen through them, she could also see how they used her as nothing but a tool…

~"You would be quite a scary wife to have. How would anyone keep anything from you?" An interested glint flashed in Dyon's eyes.

"It would depend on whether that person made me love them enough to not worry about their flaws, no?" She said with a light smile.

'Looks like I won't win a war of words with her…' Dyon thought with a small smile. ~

Jade's smile bloomed when she heard Dyon's thoughts.

'We're so compatible in the way we think…' She couldn't help but think to herself. 'We're both witty and playful in our word choice. Plus he's so handsome…' Jade shook her head. 'Listen to yourself Jade Eostre, lusting after a 17-year-old boy when you're already 21 this year…'

However, that odd desire seeded in Jade's heart. She hadn't realized that not only had Dyon's pain over the loss of his parents become her own, but she mistook the love Dyon held in his heart for Madeleine, for love she felt toward Dyon…
