The World None Knows of.

Mystics, Magic, Supernatural, whatever you call them.

things that people today will only consider it to be nothing more than a mere fantasy now.

Gods, Demons, even the most revered figures are losing their ties with humanity as well.

as humanity advanced, they have become more self dependent, growing and learning more about the world, they think they know it all even though their studies itself suggests that they merely know a fraction.

because of that arrogance, they decided to deny the existence of these mystics. turning their back away from the Gods they loved so much. yet in the end, when one's life is in dire situation, they look for something, someone to turn to, to save them. that's exactly what happened to me.

and this one encounter, proved my beliefs wrong.

Those weren't fantasy at all, all of it lies before my very eyes at the moment.

shining brighter than any stars of the night sky.

Descending before me.

a lovely voice filled my ears with ecstasy.

" Are you okay? " asked the levitating girl sitting in her crimson crescent vehicle.

I'm still in shock you see, it took me some time before i could process her question and answer it.

" Y-yeah, I'm alright... " i replied.

she raised her eyebrow, she's not convinced that I'm alright.

she grabbed my arm.

" Really? still let me see, i can't have you dying here after all "

She inspected me thoroughly, i did say I'm alright but i actually have several wounds from the debris and from tripping.

" See? you're hurt, don't even try hiding it. "

She held my wrist tightly, i felt a tingling sensation from her palm which circulated through my entire body.

her hands, they're small.

the hole in my arm healed quickly shocking me.

though it would seem she herself was shocked as well.

" Oh, that went really quick " she uttered.

my mind still hasn't completely processed everything that happened, so i went to ask her something.

" and you're... what are you? " i curiosly asked.

" Huh? i already told you, I'm a Princess and a Goddess. did you forget already? "

the same thing she told me this morning, i guess she really is...

My body is completely healed, she let go of her hand from my wrist.

" Anyway, I'm surprised you can see Phantasms, that's very rare " she brought up.

See Phantasms?

" What are Phantasms? " i asked.

" Really? You don't know?! " she responded.

it seems she can't believe i have no knowledge of these Phantasm things.

i just nodded.

" Phantasms are Creatures that are not from this world, Phantasms can come from different worlds like the Unseen Horizon, Underworld and Twilight World. "

" Things like Gods, Demons, Monsters are known Phantasms. are humans really that ignorant today now? even Humans are originally Phantasms themselves "

i couldn't say anything but just turn my head away.

" So, about me seeing them? " i followed another question.

" You don't know that either?! ever heard of Third Eye? it's the last divine gift that intersects all worlds to a mortal. "

Third Eye huh, i never had any encounters like this though, that's weird.

still, what she's talking about is still unbelievable.

" you look unconvinced huh... "

" whatever, come with me! you'll be called here sooner all later anyways "

she grabbed my arm again, an idea seems to have sparked on her mind.

we both stood up and she started leading me somewhere.

her crescent vehicle she was riding earlier returned to her hand which she started using like a blade to cut something.

she cut the air, no, the space. a gate that connects the boundaries between worlds was opened.

there we entered.

it was so bright that i couldn't see for a second, but when i finally could see, what lied before my eyes was beyond what's unbelievable.

it's a completely different world. many things I've never seen before and many things I've seen in stories.

" Welcome to the Unseen Horizon, the Divine Realm of the Gods, a Higher Dimensional Realm if you would call "

Unseen Horizon? Gods? Higher Dimension?

if i had one word to describe what this place looks like, it's probably paradise.

the warmth is so pleasant, the breeze is so gentle and the air is nice.

My heart dances with joy as my skin bathes from the sunlight.

The sight of this lightens my heart so much that i wanna stay here forever.

" Believe me now? " she asked me.

My eyes locked on her, then i went to observe the surrounding quickly and clarifying that I'm definitely not dreaming,this is real.

how could i not believe this?

" Umu, that's great! " an approval.

She then sat on her Vehicle once again.

" By the way, what is that Crescent shaped vehicle of yours? " this has been bothering me since i first saw it.

" Oh, this? It's my Divine Treasure, it's gifted to me by my father, Tsukoyomi-no-Mikoto. "

she let me inspect her Divine Treasure.

i thoroughly analyzed her Divine Treasure, but i can't make of what this thing could be made of.

What do i say about it, it's oozing with divinity. shit, i have terrible vocabulary.

" What does it do? " i asked.

" You're that interested huh, well i can't blame you though, it's cool isn't it? as you can see, i can use it to fly, i can use it as a weapon as well. whenever i throw it i can just call it back, i can utilize phantasmal energy to use it as a bow too "

whoa! i understood nothing of that! what's phantasmal energy? I'll ask her later.

" What about that creature that attacked me earlier? what was that "

this has been bothering me too.

" Umu, that creature was a Lurker, it's originally a resident of underworld, but it feeds of mental energy from people, it's usually harmless so I'm not sure why it attacked you either. "

" Anyway, you know how you always feel mentally exhausted after school right? that's the doing of a Lurker, their favorite places are places where humans are stressed like Workplace or Schools and they may vary in appearance too "

that thing is everywhere?!

the two of us kept on walking through the plain as we discussed different things, interesting things.

this is the Divine Realm of Shinto, Unseen Horizon : Takamagahara, where Amatsukami resides.

it's like a Society but composed of Amatsukami

" Although i did say it's the Divine Realm of the Gods, this only applies to the Gods revered mainly in Japan, Shintoism you would call. "

" there are many Gods and Pantheons you see, ever wondered why there are so many religions and which one is real? all of them "

what does she mean?

" Sounds weird right? but that's how it is. "

" Wouldn't that contradict each other? since in each writings, all gods have authority over the world? " i asked.

" True, but back in the Age of Mystics, and Even now, the world is divided and united. Gods Ruled over their own domains, usually over a whole country, atleast that's how it would seem to a mortal eye, but in actuality it's whole different reality connected to each other. each domains have their own universe and is somehow connected and seperated to the rest of the world, hence the many interpretation of the creation myths "

" Seperated by Gods, but united by Humans. "

isn't that like an entire multiverse in one planet? that doesn't make any sense.

" some worlds may be older than others too despite sharing the same planet and destroying one world may affect that domain and reality, but not the rest, that's the reach of their authority "

" For example, you know Lord Shiva from Hinduism? he's the destroyer of the world and he has destroyed their world many times, their world too is billions of years old "

i wonder how being attacked by a weird looking lizard has lead me to a lecture session about Gods and the world.

" So, that's how things are, understand? " she asked

" Yeah, i understand, thanks for explaining "

but one thing bugs me, if this is real.

" Do Gods from different religions get along? " i asked

" Well of course they do, though some are in bad terms, mostly they get along, if in human perspective, they're like country leaders, kings or presidents. "

oooh, so that's how it is.

" I see, thank you for teaching me these "

i am genuinely thankful.

" Fuhahahaha, don't mind it. " she laughed.

" So, for what else reason did you bring me here other than convincing me? "

I'm sure one wouldn't go that far as letting an intruder in a Divine Realm for no actual reason.

" Ohohh, so you have good eyes really huh, umu. "

it seems i was correct, she had another reason to bring me here.

" Actually, I'm also about to introduce you to someone "

someone?

She grabbed my arm again and it looked like we warped places.

according to Kaguya, this is a 12 Dimensional Realm, so there may be some spatial axis i can't sense or see.

suddenly, we're inside a room.

one word to describe it, divine.

i can see many sun based ornaments and the color theme itself is yellow, red and orange.

there, a woman sitting had a blinding aura.

almost as if it's the sun, no, because she IS the Sun.

" let me introduce you to our Chief God, and also my Aunt, Amaterasu. "

Chills were sent down to my spine upon hearing that name, i can't even see her properly as her presence itself is blinding.

although i can feel her gaze. out of my control, i started bowing down and groveling at the floor prostrating myself.

this is the real deal.
