Chronicles Of Diva by Chikato Zikifuji (intellectual books to read .txt) 📕

            I opened my eyes, and what I saw wasn't the ceiling. I was staring into Yuni’s eyes. She panicked, Yuni tried to move away from me, but her hand slipped and she fell on me. Yuni immediately picks herself up and stands beside the bed. I slowly climb up as my chest hurts a bit, she has gain a lot of weight since she was young, yup no shit. She bowed down and apologized. Not to make things awkward, I told her the plans for that day and I intend to go alone, but she protested by saying that her parents were also captured, I have no choice, once this girl makes up her choices, no one can change her mind. I told the king about my plan to save the villagers. The king said that I should bring some men along with me, but it was a dangerous trip and I do not want to lose more of my men. Hell is one of the places where Nasus and Al-Makrox live, another place is called: The Wrong Side Of Heaven, where Dark Angels are born.  

          How do we get to hell, no, you do not kill yourself. There is a portal on the mountain of Hollywood. Getting there by plane would take a day, but using Diva’s technologies, you just have to take a few seconds. So there we are, standing below the sign of Hollywood. May the door to Ma’at and to the red god thrive open. Saying that will open the door, but you have to speak in Immortallian, a language spoken by the gods a long time ago. The floor broke, forming a small cave for me and Yuni to walk in. Before arriving in hell, we have to go through a labyrinth with monsters of course, but for my case we just have to blow our way through the sixteen-kilometer high maze.  

           I did not expect sixteen kilometers could be so long, and the material that was used to build the maze was hard, really hard. Let me explain a few things. One, Diva is not connected to Earth. How do we get to Hollywood? Easy, by using a portal. Two, the entrance was built by Greek Gods, and yes, Atro did tell me to not mess with other Gods, but screw them. At the end, I threaten a son of Hades to show me the way (No children of gods were harmed in this book). We made it to the end, but I met someone whom I didn't want to meet. Hades was sitting in the middle of the palace. We went to the wrong realm of hell. I wanted to go to Diva's hell, so the only way is to pass through Hades and a few underground gods. 

           Hades caught us trespassing, but he was stunned when he saw me. “Atro! How long has it been my dear? 10000 years? I see that you have found a new… body.” I was too shocked to say anything. Then something shocking happened. Atro’s translucent body became more solid, until Yuni was able to see her. I did not know that gods could do this, so that was why I was a little terrified. “Looks like we meet again Hades, since the last time I saw you was in the Meeting Of The Gods. ” Atro seems a little annoyed, but she continued on with her magnificent voice (A little different from what I have heard in my mind). 

           “Look Hades, we have a lot of errands to do, if you want anything, I will try to comply, for my world is in danger.” Hades looks like he was about to blow, but calmed himself down. 

           “Alright, I’ll let this puny humans go, just for today, remember what you have said Atro.” Hades scowled at me and ordered us to get out. Atro’s form shimmered and when back the translucent way. When gods fight, it can be really scary. Of course we moved on. Hey Atro, how did you do the translucent to solid thingy? I asked in my thoughts. This is hell, dear Chikato, I can make my soul more visible. Look around, you didn't you notice spirits around you? I really did not notice that those people walking around us are spirits, they look so normal. I noticed Yuni’s eyelids grew heavier and heavier. Traveling into hell takes a lot of time.“ You tired Yuni? Let’s continue tomorrow.” Yuni nodded, she puts her bag down and placed down a small wax house on the floor. She chanted and the little house grew into a bungalow, which impressed me a lot. I did not know that Yuni could do that for I only brought sleeping bags and a tent. We went inside, it was humongous. Food was already prepared for us, we finished dinner and headed towards our own rooms to rest. Yuni and me didn't really talk much that day, I felt really bad for letting her accompany me. I lay down and drifted off to Dreamland.  

         I have heard stories about the Gods Of Diva, but I have only seen Atro before. I have totally forgotten about Yuni’s host. Victorica, the Goddess Of Air, is always with us. I have heard Yuni talking to her, but never got to see her in person. Well, that was before we were attacked by… I’ll get to that part.  

          I woke up, staring at the ceiling, almost forgetting where I was. Being my lazy self, I wanted to continue sleeping, but when I turned my body to the right side, I found a pair of eyes staring back at me. I fell off the bed. Yuni sat up and started laughing hysterically. “Yuni, you have to stop doing this, we are not kids anymore. What would others think if they saw us like this?” Yes, we slept on the same bed when we were young, no big deal. 

           We packed our stuff and continue our journey to find where they had kept my villagers. Hell is a really big place. Trust me, it can be bigger than Earth already. There are different parts of hell, for different Gods of other mythology. We have King Yama (Buddhism), Hades (Greek), Anubis (Egypt), Osiris (Egypt) and Satan (Christian). Some of this are good, some of this are really bad. So that is why I do not want to disturb any of the other religions. We reached Diva’s hell. All red, molten rocks and fire everywhere. Everything is in a total mess. We could hear screams and cries of lost and tortured souls. I unsheathed my sword and shield and continue moving forward. Yuni seems to be bothered by something. I got a feeling that something is watching us. Suddenly, a chilling scream echoed above us and more than 16 dozens of Hell Imps jump down, each holding a Hell Fork, trying to stab us. Yuni summoned a gust of strong wind to blow them away, but the imps kept swarming in. I focused my energy on my sword. Atro lend me your power. My blade began to glow faintly and I slashed at the imps. Imps are short, dark red and have two tiny horns stuck to their foreheads. Imps are counted as minions, they are pretty much useless when they are alone, but they always come in swarms. I swung my blade with incredible speed, cutting imps down to pieces, as Yuni was blasting waves and waves of elemental attack trying to help me, but the numbers of imps are increasing. Fine, I admit that the number of imps overwhelmed me. They started climbing onto Yuni and me  (Disgusting, I know). With a howl of anger, I plunged my sword into the ground. Massive rays of light radiated across the place and all of the imps disintegrated. What was that? It was one of my many skills, called ‘Blessing’. Blessing disintegrates low class evil monsters or spirits. Yuni was sitting on the floor, panting. Just as we thought that everything was over, the strong ones appeared. The Seven Princes Of Hell appeared. Why seven? Ever heard of the seven deadly sins? Each of them stands for one sin. Wratheus, Greedus, Slotheus, Pridees, Lustious, Envyious, and Gluttonyious. These are their names. Al-Makrox has made a good job naming his children. The Seven Princes have their own characteristics, but all of them are red in color. Wratheus is big, very big and he holds a cleaver. Have you ever seen the movie ‘Hellboy’? Well double the size. Greedus is a little smaller then Wratheus, but Greedus uses fire magic instead. Slotheus is short and plump, he holds a rapier. Pridees is tall and slim, and uses a Katana. Lustious is the same size as Wratheus, but it uses claws and fangs. Envyious wears a cloak so I can’t see him properly, that guy has massive horns. Gluttonyious is the same size as Slotheus, but he uses long sharp claws like The Wolverine.  Now introduction’s over, time to defend ourselves (again). I was really not in the mood to fight, especially someone as strong as the stupid seven. I drained quite a lot of energy just to use Blessing. Yuni casted magic walls around us as the princes approach us, but she was already quite exhausted. I readied my sword, preparing to fight an impossible match. The walls broke and I clashed with the seven idiots. Wratheus swung his cleaver at me, I dodge to the left and slice at his abdomen. Gluttonyious dashed at me with incredible speed and blocked my attack. They may be idiots, but these assholes know how to fight.  I jumped back and the next thing I knew, a ball of fire was hurled right in my face. The mini-meteor was only a meter away from me. I had no idea what was happening to me, but my body felt as light as a feather. I was literally flying. Fighting the idiots swiftly. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a lady dressed in peach colored armor next to a panting Yuni, her hair swaying gracefully to the right. She was as young as Atro. She is Victorica, the Goddess Of The Air. She is lending you the power of the wind. Atro spoke. I was dancing around the seven, cutting them. The seven idiots tried to hit me, but failed miserably. With the last bit of strength, I summoned the Power Of Light. The blade of my sword was encased with blinding light. I pointed my sword at the Seven Princes Of Hell and a blast of light shot out from my blade. The ball of light hit the seven and they disintegrated slowly. All were screaming except for Wratheus, who muttered, “Our father... will kill you and... torture your soul for eternity…” I dropped
