Dimensional Descent

[Thanks to Ian <3 (1/6)]

El'Rion's brows furrowed, but Leonel looked back at him with quite an unreadable expression. It felt like what he had said was just natural.

By now, many people had already guessed that Leonel was a Wise Star Order. It could be said that the reason the ire of countless Gods hadn't descended on him yet was because the Life Tablet couldn't grant Lineage Factors. At best, many believed that it had just acknowledged his Wise Star Order status.

Of the Orders, Wise Star Order was the only one not tied to the Northern Star Lineage Factor by necessity. In fact, it could be said that the purpose of the Wise Star Order's existence to begin with was to restrain and maintain.

There was a reason why Leonel could suppress and overpower those with the Northern Star Lineage Factor, an ability he had gained the moment he awoke to his status as a Wise Star Order.

Naturally, for those that didn't want to see the rise of the Northern Star Lineage Factor again, Leonel's existence wasn't entirely a bad thing...

If he could be controlled, that is.

This matter, though, was quickly becoming a web of complexities. Setting aside the existence of Wicked, what it meant, and the members of the Cult that had been left behind, there were too many other things pulling Leonel in all directions. Right now, all he could do was take steps to fix that.

The first step was Aina. Aina's existence was crucial, not just because she had helped them to survive the culling, but because of what she represented.

She was a human, separate from the Northern Star Lineage Factor, who carried a great strength all to herself.

This seemed meaningless. Why would it be important for the humans to come off as strong, aside from surviving, that is?

Ironically, the humans were in a situation similar to the Owlan Race. They were tied to a version of themselves that many were wary of, and many more had a difficult time disassociating from their current selves.
