Within the depths of the Life After, The Head Servant Of Sei, sat on her throne, pondering the situation at hand. A few days ago, Lady Sei had come to deliver a tome with the majority of her divinity within. The Goddess proceeded to tell her to keep it safe which she did, putting it within the core of the Afterlife known as Death's Vault.
But knowing the Grimoire Of Genesis, the title Lyre had now given it, was secure didn't worry her. It was the fact that it existed in the first place that made her worry. As of now, The Second Ethereal stood vulnerable, completely and utterly mortal. Lyre herself would never utter the thought of betrayal, but she wasn't the only one who served Sei. The Second Ethereal had been a maternal figure ever since she was a child….
5000 Years Ago
The War Of Gods was reaching a climax, the First Ethereal, after destroying the Fourth Kingdom in complete silence, was turning his attention to the Second and Third. His Vanguards with godlike abilities known as "Absolutions" were ready to set the green world of the Second District ablaze.
Ten year old Lyre was oblivious to this war, her own tribe of Man was very isolated, surrounded completely by steep hills and deep rivers. And while others fought and died at the hands at the Angels Of Death (The name of the Vanguardian Army), she was experimenting with the Mado Arts, resurrecting dead rats and small wildlife.
Yet, her tribe saw her actions as an abomination to Sei. So they exiled her, sending her away to the depths of the forests. In her exile, she saw the product of war. The deaths and restless spirits on both sides. Amongst all this blood and gore, Lyre didnt feel fear nor trepidation, instead she wanted to give their spirits rest.
It was then, in that reflection, that Sei was standing besides her, her comforting presence enveloping her entirety. When Lyre showed the Goddess Of Life her ability to raise the undead, instead of scolding her, Sei took her underneath her wings. Providing her the workspace, (the Life After) to work.
It was only a couple centuries later when Lyre formed the Silence and utilized them in the battle against the Vanguards, turning their own dead soldiers against them. The efforts of the Third and Second Ethereal and their respective districts was enough to push the First back into their own.
The Present
But now the tides seemed to smell of espionage. Sei was slowly losing her abilities, which may be signs of an upcoming attack. The Puppeteer Of The Afterlife needed to make sure the others servants were ready. Disguising her true self, and teleporting her throne into Death's Vault, she made her way up to the Land Of The Living. On her way to alert the other Servants of Sei.
