(A/N : So, I made a discord server. I kind of (very much) dislike having to constantly post notices in order to tell you guys when I might be lagging behind in schedule, and that's why I left you guys in the dark for some time, so I figured this would be the best course of action. The link is in the description of this fanfic, but if you want it here, here it is : https://discord.gg/XesR4HXSW8)

(3rd Person Perspective)

Needless to say, but 'their' entrance caused the whole room to quake and crackle with intense emotions, such as anticipation, anxiety and fear

The red haired ogre had put his guard up as much as he could. But deep down, he felt it. Against 'those' beings, no matter how much cautiousness he engraves in his actions, it will all be for naught. Null and void

"I think it's time for explanations to take place"

Such a sound was heard, coming from the masked one of the two, seeing as the crimson eyed one's lips didn't move the slightest bit

The voice of a being that held power that was completely irrelevant when it comes to imagination. That's what the red haired ogre thought

This being was unreachable, incomprehensible

He felt sick of himself. A waterfall of guilt washed over his head

How could he not have noticed earlier?

When the being's voice held such volume; density

Insight

Omniscience

He wanted to punch his old self in the face

He was so fresh off of the rage caused by the illusion of the  'death' of his parents that he didn't notice the most obvious thing that existed

The hierarchy of monsters

The strong devour the weak

That's how it's always been

And yet his naivete and hot headedness put his friends and family in danger

He felt so so stupid

But the red haired ogre's inner turmoil seemed to be ignored by the being residing on top of the peak. Either that, or it wasn't noticed in the first place, as unthinkable as that is

"Ah, but before we start, let me just take this off" The profound being said, as their hand reached for the mask they were wearing

In an instant, the mask vanished, letting the air flow back into the space it was inhabiting

And the anxiousness and fear resounding through the room resonated even deeper

Looking at his father's expression, it seems that he hasn't met this personage yet as well. And on top of that,  judging by the events that had happened prior, he only has a shallow piece of knowledge of the one  who saved him, whose red eyes were looking at them with a cold mechanical stare; As if she was somewhat disappointed by them

A flash of gold filled the eyes of all observers, as a pair of gilded amethyst eyes peered through the fabric of paraconceptuality itself

"So, what you might be wondering is, why did we go out of our way to save you?" The being said, his slightly masculine but more dominant androgynous features blended in a seemingly impossible way

"The answer to that is..." He said, pausing in the middle of speaking "Not telling you"

At those words, the ogres in the room stared at the golden eyed being with a confused and slightly disappointed look
