Awakening of the Red Saviors

"I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.

When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword.

When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "Two pounds of wheat for a day's wages, and six pounds of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!"

When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. They called out in a loud voice, "How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?" Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters, were killed just as they had been.

I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.

Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and everyone else, both slave and free, hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. They called to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?" - Revelation 6:1-17

Issei Hyoudou's POV

'Am I dead?'

It was the first thought that came into my mind. The last thing I remember was that I became unconscious in the fake dimension after I saved Ophis from that bastard, Shalba. Before I finished Shalba, he used an arrow filled with poison made from the blood of Samael, a sealed fallen angel who was known as the ultimate dragon slayer, and fired it at me.

I tried my best to fight against Samael's poison till help arrived. Alas, I failed to stay strong and fell into death's slumber. My memories flashed before my eyes and the last memory I had before passing way was her...

My beloved girlfriend and master... Rias...

Though I can't sense it, I can tell that I no longer have Ddraig or the Boosted Gear. I'm no longer the Sekiryuutei, and now I'm nothing more but a deceased soul who died a virgin.

The only thought that came to my mind was when I realize that I died a virgin.

'Shit...' I thought in a lethargic tone.

I would have complained more in my mind, how unfair that I died a virgin and not able to take the virginity of any of the girls from the Occult Research Club, but I'm too tired to even make complain in my mind.

Tired... Weird. I should be dead. I shouldn't be able to feel anything, yet I feel completely exhausted.

"Ha...ha..."

I'm hearing someone having a hard time to breathe.

"Ha... ha..."

The breathing sounds familiar to me.

"Ha... ha..."

The voice sounds a lot like my own.

"Ha... ha..."

It's completely hoarse and sounds more aged than it was supposed to be, but I know that this voice belonged to me.

"Ha... ha..."

What does this mean to me? Am I still alive? If so, then the darkness must mean my eyes are closed, right? Or, per chance, my eyes are open and it's completely too dark to see.

*Drip, Drip*

There is a clear sound of a water drop hitting the ground. Perhaps I'm in someone's house, and the room I'm in has a faucet that had water dripping from it?

The next thing I was able to hear were footsteps. The footsteps were getting louder each second. It sounded like they were coming towards me.

"It seems that you're awake," a male voice said.

I don't recognize the voice. I can't open my eyes—even if I'm alive or not—to see who it was. The only thing I can describe this man with were two things: the sound of his voice and his aura.

He spoke in an elderly voice. He must be old enough to be my ancestor. His aura, however, isn't average. It's completely abnormal. It's nothing like I felt before.

"Relax, my child." The voice was getting closer to me. "I have no intention of hurting you."

I wonder if he meant what he said. I don't think he has the intention to hurt me. He doesn't sound it, either. For now, I have to put my life into his wrinkly hands. But there is something I need to know.

"W...W-Wh... W-Who... W-Wh-Who... are..."

I'm struggling to get my words out of my mouth. My heart started to beat at a very fast rate as my chest ached. Every time I tried to speak a single word out of my mouth, my throat burned.

"Oh what did I just tell you?" the old man asked, all riled up. I heard his footsteps coming up to me. He attentively lifted my head with his wrinkly hand and placed something wooden in my mouth. The wooden object contained water in it. Clear, cool water. He slowly poured it into my mouth. "You're going to get injured in your new vessel."

Vessel? What is he talking about? I decided to let it slide and swallowed the water down my burning throat. After my thirst had been quenched, the old man placed my head back down, gently.

"It's too soon to explain everything that has happened to you," the elder whispered. "If I talk now, your body won't take it. Please wait till your soul has accustomed to your new body. I'll confess all you need to know later. Please rest."

He's talking again about a vessel. I still don't know what he's saying. I'll rest, except...

"N-Name," I sputtered out. I took in one big sigh before speaking again. "What... yo-your-your name!"

I let out a strong, violent cough. Speaking is putting a strain on my throat again. I should be resting, but I need to know. I need to know the name of my caretaker.

"What did I tell you?" the caretaker sounded irritated. "Are you willing to risk your health for the sake of knowing my name?"

Yes, is what I want to say out loud. But I don't want to put more strain on my throat. I heard a resigning sigh coming from the elderly caretaker's mouth.

"Alright, I'll tell you my name," the caretaker said. "But promise me that you'll get your rest after that."

I promise. Just tell me your name.

"Solomon. They call me Solomon."

Solomon...? Where did I hear that name before...?

1st POV

"Lleu..."

I'm hidden deep within the darkness. I had arms wrapped around my knees and my head buried on them. Near me, I hear a gentle voice calling to me, but I don't answer.

"Lleu..."

I decided to raise my head up and saw a woman standing in front of me within the darkness. She's around my age and has a fair-skinned, voluptuous figure. She has long, light pink hair that goes down all the way down to her hips and sapphire blue eyes that are filled with innocence. She wore a fancy white dress with a gold tiara on top of her head. She had a radiant white aura around her and appeared to be transparent like a ghost. What is she? A deceased princess or something?

"Lleu... What's wrong? Don't you recognize me?"

I actually don't know who she is, but she did look very familiar to me.

"Come, you shouldn't be sulking here."

She extended her hand out for me to grab. I hesitated at first, but I reached for her hand. When I made contact with her hand, the princess bursted into many tiny particles of light.

"Lleu..."

A new voice crept up from behind. I tensed up the moment he called my name.

"Why do avoid me, Lleu?"

I slowly turned around to see a handsome man who appeared to be in his late twenties or early thirties. He had blonde hair that was combed back and solemn dark blue eyes. He was dressed with a black business suit, and he had a small scar over his forehead. He also looked a bit transparent like a ghost, just like that princess.

"Grandfather?" I blurted out of the blue.

I cupped my mouth after I said it. It came out of my mouth inadvertently. I may not know who that man is, but there is no way he's my grandfather. He's too young to be my grandfather. He could be my father or even brother per chance.

I don't who this man is, however, just like the ghost princess, he looked very familiar to me.

The young man that I referred as my grandfather looked at me with disdain eyes. He turned around and walked away.

"Grandfather, wait!" I stood up and chased after the young man—which I inadvertently called grandfather again—but he faded away into the darkness before I had the chance to catch up to him.

"So you must be him then," a new voice said from the side.

I turned to the side to see another young man. He looked around my age with dark brown hair and eyes with a lighter shade than the eyes of the young man who I was running after. Unlike the ghost princess and blonde man who I referred to as my grandfather, he doesn't look recognizable to me, and he doesn't appear to be dressed like a noble or even part of my own race.

"You must be my successor," the brown-haired man said.

'Successor? Successor to what?'

I was about to ask the brown-haired boy what he was talking about till a sharp pain appeared on my left arm as it started to be enveloped by a red light. I looked at the brown-haired young man.

"We'll meet again," he said as his body began to emit a shining red light, vanquishing the darkness away along with me.

Well first I can thank my new beta Sorata Shioya for proofing reading Awakening of the Red Saviors.

Also I want to say that if you're following either A Second Chance or A New Opportunity, I want to say that updates might not happen this month, mostly because of a bad manager randomly giving work days that you didn't ask for and of College work.

Also if you are all wondering, Lleu will have his own harem. It won't be as big as Issei's harem, he'll have his own harem. (I might do a sequel that just focus on Lleu and his friends.) Lleu won't steal any of Issei's girls, so don't worry.

Also this story, Awakening of the Red Saviors will tie in with my other story, A New Opportunity, which now have a sequel if I'm able to complete that story and have the time to do the sequel.

Also if you're following A Second Chance or A New Opportunity, I want to inform everyone that A Second will come out at the end of the month on Halloween night, but A New Opportunity won't have a chapter this month (Mostly because I want to finish at least one more chapter of A Second Chance.)

Also I'm sadly to inform that I'll be working on a new Pokemon story, in dedication the new Pokemon Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby games. So updates will going to be slow for now on.

Now to the preview of the next chapter:

Next the chapter of Awakening of the Red Saviors: Labyrinth... Amnesia... The living Solomon... Relics of the legendary weapons of the bible.

Next time in Awakening of the Red Saviors: Reborn

Solomon: You're the only one who can bring eternal peace to the world.
