1675 The Celestial Ceremony. I

A Decade Later...

As the celestial ceremony commenced, the capital city of the Eternal Kingdom was alight with vibrancy and fervor unseen in what felt like forever.

The air was thick with anticipation, the streets a tapestry of colors and sounds as citizens from every corner of the kingdom converged in celebration.

Boom!! Booom!! Booom!!

Fireworks exploded in the sky, painting the heavens with cascades of luminescent splendor, their reflections dancing in the eyes of the gathered throngs.

The streets, lined with banners and lights, were alive with activity.

Musicians played melodies that resonated with the very fabric of the universe, while dancers moved with grace, their forms blurring the lines between physical and ethereal.

Artisans and vendors filled the air with the scents of exotic foods and the allure of arcane artifacts, each stall and performance a testament to the diversity and richness of the kingdom's many realms.

At the heart of the city, the celestial palace towered over the festivities, a monument to the power and glory of the cosmos.

Here, atop its highest spires, the unigins sat upon thrones of starlight and shadow, their majestic forms a beacon to all who gathered below.

There were only the lesser celestial realm unigins...The upper celestial unigins and the three rulers had yet to make an appearance.

"How are you feeling about this?" Artemis asked her peers with a gentle tone.

"Don't overthink it, Arty." Aeolus said as he enjoyed the festivities below in the streets, "This is just like any other ceremony. We trade out celestial energy for divinities, have fun fighting each other for some bets, and get separated again until the next ceremony arrives."

"He is correct." Demeter remarked calmly, "The Paragon won't be making an appearance today unless he seeks his death."

"I don't know..." Artemis murmured, "I have been watching his journey closely in the mortal world and he always takes unnecessary risks. The weird part? He always makes them work somehow..So."

As one of Felix's avid fans with Apollo in the unigins circles, she was more in tune with his personality than the others could realize.

This made her have a tingling feeling that he was going to do something in the ceremony even when the odds were stacked against him.

The others didn't think the same at all.

"You are reading too much into this." Athena shook her head, "He is no longer a child. This is the real stuff and he knows that if he dares make his move, he better be prepared to not walk out of here alive. It's too much of a risk for anyone and only pure idiots would go for it."

"Just enjoy the ceremony Artemis." Zeus advised with a solemn tone, "Don't let his existence play games in your mind. We are unigins, we are above such emotions."

"Alright..." Armitis nodded in understanding and switched her focus to the worshipping rituals down there.
