Cyrus stood, with his arms crossed, as the group explained everything in great detail, allowing a small smile to creep onto his face as the great weights that had burdened his soul began to fall off.  He wasn’t mad, he was an Awakened like the rest of the group.  He wasn’t seeing things he had a power.  These questions subsided in his mind.  Cyrus could not help a growing sense of doubt creep in to fill the void left behind, a sense of doubt directed towards Britney.  She had promised to be completely honest in her answers yet she danced around one subject.  The people who had beat the Glutton.  “[i][b]Gil-,[/b][/i]” Cyrus mentioned under his breath.  Who were they, how did they stop the creature, and could they help in their upcoming struggle?   He wanted answers.  As the others spoke, he awaited any pause that would allow him to slide in and ask his question.  Nobody would have the chance to interupt him if he had it his way.  

“[i][b]So, we can’t kill it. Okay. You said something woke it up, right Britney? Then...then we have to make it go back to sleep, right? Do you even know what woke it up?[/b][/i]” 

“[i][b]And who are the people of Gil, Bri-[/b][/i]-” Cyrus started but was almost immediately cut off by a godly voice. 

"[i][b]... You can, actually,[/b][/i]"  

“[i][b]What the shit,[/b][/i]” Cyrus shouted at the strange voice before he was enveloped in a bright white color.  A feeling of weightlessness washed over him as he was teleported to a faraway area.  As the teleportation completed, Cyrus swung his hands outward in an attempt to brace himself for a fall that would never happen.  Instead, Cyrus quickly realized that he was on a platform that was transparent and the fall into the void below would have to wait another day.  Cyrus slowly looked around and noticed the rest of the group was there, yet there was something eerily off about their appearance.  They shared some similarities with the platform being transparent as well, yet he could still clearly their appearance and the outline of his bodies.  “[i][b]Weird,[/b][/i]” he spoke aloud as he turned his face and he was greeted with the awe-inspiring sight of a godly creature in the center.  While not entirely human, with the indistinguishable face yet obviously childlike body, the sight of the creature calmed Cyrus.

“[i][b]Wh-what,[/b][/i]” Kimberly asked. 

“[i][b]What she said,[/b][/i]” Cyrus said in response. 

"[i][b]Hello, we never got a chance to meet or properly get acquainted,[/b][/i]" the being spoke in a childlike voice yet carried with it great power, "[i][b]I am... The Child, the next One-Above-All. We have much to discuss.[/b][/i]" 

[i][b]“I kinda liked it when I thought I was going mad, afterall,[/b][/i]” Cyrus spoke to no-one in particular as he took in the sight of The Child in front of him.  "[i][b]What are you,[/b][/i]" Cyrus asked The Child as his eyes danced across the visage of the creature.[/center]
