Chapter 13: The Big Day
Inside an old but grand mansion of the Shinso family, a young boy was sleeping in a rather large but grand bed. It was a bed fit for someone of the upper class of society.
The room he rested in was large.
It had everything befitting of someone with a noble status: a large bed, expensive carpets, fancy paintings, and a crystal chandelier; the walls were painted black and red, with the Ace of Spades design on the walls.
Everything was, of course, designed in a neo-gothic sense, and the room was dark, very dark; however, as the boy continued to sleep in, his room door suddenly opened up, revealing a dark figure.
Whose form was barely visible from the mansion corridor.
The figure walked into the room, his steps silent despite his natural stride forward. The person continued to walk till they reached the window of the room, their hands grabbing the closed curtains, and they pulled the curtains apart; as a result, a creepy red hue came flashing into the room.
There was no sun, no stars, no planets, just the idea of day and night; if it was the day, it would shine; if it was night, the world would darken.
These two forces were the Divine Spirit of Day and Night. It wasn't a distant orb of fire or a celestial body drifting in space.
It was something far greater, something beyond human understanding. It simply was the force that made day rise and nightfall.
In the world of HDXD, there exist two types of spirits. The Great Spirits embodied the subjective laws of nature and phenomena, making them literal living, law-based entities. A fact of existence would be the best way to put them.
While above them are Divine spirits, the absolute definitions of existence itself. They weren't just representations of ideas that govern the entire universe; they were the ideas.
