Beyond The Stars


Chapter 619: The Korobu Mystery

Narrator: In Heaven.

*Zeth and Sasha have returned to Heaven and they are meeting with Harmona in an indoor hallway*

Zeth: It was bizarre! He just wasn’t there at all!

Harmona: What!? He didn’t go to Hell!?

Zeth: Could he have actually…?

*Harmona interrupts him*

Harmona: No! I can tell you he sure as hell did not go to Heaven! I recommend going to see the God of Death and ask him about it.

Sasha: That’s a good idea. We’re on it.

***

Narrator: Later. At the Palace of the God of Death.

*Zeth and Sasha meet with the God of Death who sits on his throne*

God of Death: What is it that you wish to ask me?

Zeth: We went to Hell to go talk to Korobu but found out that he was not sent there upon death.

Sasha: And as Lady Harmona has told us, he definitely didn’t go to Heaven. So what happened to him?

*The God of Death just looks at them for a moment before answering*

God of Death: Korobu died… but he never showed up here for me to judge him.

*Zeth and Sasha are shocked*

Zeth: What does that mean…?

God of Death: I do not know. His soul was never found by any grim reapers. A soul not being found is extremely rare. He is not the first that this has happened to but…

Sasha: But what?

God of Death: Every mortal soul that has not been able to be found all had one thing in common…

*Zeth and Sasha look nervous as the God of Death is about to continue*

God of Death: They all had Abyss Magic.

*Zeth and Sasha can do nothing but just stare with their mouths slightly open as a deep worry can be seen in their eyes*

God of Death: I have no explanation as to how this happens. Do they just cease to exist? I suppose it’s possible that the Abyss Deity is the cause but he is sealed away.

*Zeth and Sasha continue to look deeply troubled by this*

Zeth: This is not good…

***

Narrator: Later that day in Heaven.

*There is a meeting going on that includes Zeth, Sasha, Kurt, Joe, Emily, Keith, Harmona, Zaydra, Zenfaro, Josh, Commander Moss, Major Smithy, and Harmona’s advisors in a large conference room*

Harmona: The reason I have called for this emergency meeting is because we have a possible bad situation on our hands. Despite dying, Korobu’s soul was nowhere to be seen.

Joe: Maybe he just got lost.

Harmona: It’s been over 14,000 years! Grim reapers always find a soul immediately! On top of that, Zeth and Sasha learned that others before Korobu have also been missing upon death. Now, think about what Korobu’s power was! It’s the abyss! All of the previous missing mortal souls were also people that used Abyss Magic! Now, think about what Zeth and Sasha encountered on Mars! It was a creature that had the same abyss power! Sure, the creature was killed, but who sent the creature to Mars in the first place!? Although we thought about it for a moment when Zeth and Sasha first returned from Mars, we never continued to think about it after that!

*Zeth and Sasha open their eyes wide*

Zeth: We really did just gloss over that fact!!

Sasha: How could we not look into that more!!?

*Everyone starts mumbling theories for a bit until Commander Moss speaks up*

Commander Moss: What about the pyramid?

*Everyone stops talking and looks at him*

Harmona: What do you mean?

Commander Moss: From what I’ve been told about the Mars mission, it seems the final battle was done in a dimension that had a black pyramid as its focus. Does it have something to do with the Abyss plot? Do other planets have these pyramids? Perhaps they would give some insight into the abyss?

Zeth: We destroyed the pyramid on Mars so we feel good about that one at least.

Male advisor 1: I think that going to space and checking out other planets would be a good idea.

Male Advisor 2: As do I. It doesn’t look like we will accomplish anything by sticking only to Earth.

Kurt: I say let’s do it!

Zaydra: But how exactly would we find pyramids on other planets?

Josh: Yeah, it’s not like we’d know where to look or even know if these planets have one at all.

Major Smithy: Kurt does have a way to track magic sources. I’m sure he could find them if they all have similar magic sources.

Kurt: While that is a possibility, I would need to get a feel for a source of that magic before I could accurately track it.

Zeth: We could stop by Mars as the goddesses of that planet took some pieces of the pyramid back with them for research not that long after the conclusion of the battle since the portal to the dimension was still open.

Commander Moss: Excellent!

*Commander Moss then looks at Harmona*

Commander Moss: Lady Harmona, I request that you give me the biggest spaceship that you have available. Major Smithy and I will touch it up and make it suitable for galactic travel.

Harmona: Granted. I will have it given to you immediately! This will be the beginning of a galactic journey!

Narrator: Mortals with Abyss Magic just cease to be!? What is going on? Everyone comes to the same conclusion, it’s time to head to space!
