The darkness fades as a new environment appear before their eyes, a cloudly like surface and the more of the dark fades away, the more of the environment shone for their bare eyes to see. The darkness disappeared and it appeared to be a land of floating clouds like the heavens and the skies are but of a spacious void that one sees during the night. Ahead of them lies an empty golden throne and as they heed forward, a voice echoes the silence.
"Strange is it not, to be dreaming of a reality only to find out this reality is already an existing matter so you can say that you are partially dreaming."
The voice of what sounded like a god calling down on his child and the direction of the sound seemed to be coming from not behind him, not his left nor right, but in front of him, floating up in mid air with his arms crossed. The godly figure descends down to further observe the individual "You seem to be in thought, trying to process everything that is happening right before your eyes, well that's how most would react I assume. Oh where are my manners, allow me to introduce myself" the figure then finally touched down the cloudy surface.
"My name is DIO, Ascended to the heavens and went beyond to reach absolute ultimatum. Now I know what you are wondering about the gods and goddesses you know of in your world but they do not compare to the likes of I, DIO, for I am different."
The clueless person tilted his head
"hm? Your mind still wander of questions? Listen child, I understand where you are standing on as we speak, but since I admire your calm state, I can answer the question that linger your mind most."
'Why am doing I here?' is what they thought about most the first time they are here for.
"I would like to call it a destined fate for you to meet me at this dire time, by dire I mean you seemed to had a very troubled night, and it's all due to a certain member of a highly clan who indirectly called you out and wanted to prove to not only them but everyone that you can be stronger by unnecessary force."
"anyhow, you have summoned to my heaven because you possess a very valuable gift. A gift that wavers your heart and soul and will protect you from all forms of harm."
The god named DIO brought the palm of his hand out and a beam of light shone upon on it and in the middle of the light, a slowly descending object going to his palm, an emerald ring with a heart in the middle of it, as the ring landed, the light faded and reached it to the person in front of him.
"This is what's left of me from another timeline, this ring holds something very special to me and the reason how I managed to reach my worth. Think of it as a blessing from another god and you will surely find its true purpose."
The person reached out for the ring and the ring was dropped in the middle of his palm.
The moment that happened, despite being above the earths skies and even greater beyond, the ground shook.
"Oh my, seems like you're about to wake up now, hmph, well then little one, make good use for my ring and until then, we'll meet again"
DIO crossed his arms as the cloudy earth shook even more violent and to the eyes of the boy, everything turned white.
