Lucifer listened as Solomon spoke, momentarily surprise crossed the face of the child of Tiamat, as Solomon spoke the name Lucifer, one that he had not given, it seems the gifts of this human were extraordinary indeed, but that was one of the least revelatory statements the former king of humans would make. Chakra, the gift alien to the mother he was one of the first wielders of it, for some time now Lucifer had considered chakra to be a flawed addition to humanity one foreign to the mother's design and it seemed that Solomon was in agreement that it was alien to Tiamat, though he didn't seem to have a problem with it, but then why would he, just a look at those eyes alerted Lucifer to their incredible potency, he didn't even need to use sensory to feel the power brimming from Solomon, he was almost a bijuu made flesh.Solomon audibly took a deep breath, taking in the salty air that resided around the shores of Theodoro and took a seat in the grassy field along the lush coastline. "No. It is no coincidence, Lucifer. But to answer your question, a very important question, it is crucial to understand that I am part of the answer itself." The Mage King's words were solemn. It was an ugly reality that Solomon had to face for hundreds of years, that those who worshiped Tiamat were very closely related to his bloodline. Since he was a young man they had tormented his childhood; indirectly responsible for the death of his elder brother Amnon, directly responsible for the death of Absalom, the civil war that nearly split Jerusalem asunder, the madness of his father David, and Adonijah's departure. The Mage King even suspected that the events that culminated in the demise of the Hangurian Freehold were orchestrated by them. Their reach was long and vast, and it was something that he had been intertwined in for a very, very long time. "My name is Solomon, possessor of the eyes that see past and future. Among humans who wield chakra I am one of the first, and that has gifted me with longevity that surpasses any average man." As he spoke and met Lucifer's gaze, sitting in the grass, his Byakugan evolved into its Tenseigan state; it was the height of his ocular prowess, and the eyes that he referred to - eyes that awakened when he received his first and only divine revelation. Along with them floated his six Truth-Seeking Orbs in their a sigmoidal formation behind Solomon.
( Doujutsu: Tenseigan ) - Eye Technique: Reincarnation Eye (Passive)The Mage King took another breath, continuing. "I am of a branch of the Otsutsuki family that ruled in Tobusekai over eight hundred years ago. The birth of the Tailed Beasts marked the advent of chakra among mankind. But chakra was not the origin of humanity. In fact, for much of humanity's existence chakra was a foreign concept, alien even. Humans derive their origin from the Gods, specifically Marduk, Inanna, Nergal, and Enlil. The first four gods that were born from Tiamat. It is, in this sense, that Tiamat embodies all life. Mother of All Life, the Primordial Salt Sea, Mother of Beasts - all equally applicable titles. She is not just a god, but the very concept of life itself. Life is derived from the Void, shaped by Tiamat, and then given uniqueness by the Gods." Solomon paused for a moment, turning his head toward the ocean in front of the two.Type: Supplementary

Description: The Tenseigan (転生眼, Literally meaning: Reincarnation Eye) is a powerful dōjutsu utilized by the Ōtsutsuki clan. The combination of the Byakugan and the chakra of an Ōtsutsuki clan member can evolve the Byakugan into the Tenseigan, resulting in the loss of the Byakugan's quasi-omnidirectional and distanced vision.The Tenseigan allows the user to control both attractive and repulsive forces, similar to the Rinnegan's Deva Path. The user's eyes are on the same level as the Mangekyou Sharingan in terms of tracking and chakra perception. Additionally, it also grants the wielder the ability to use Tenseigan Chakra Mode; gaining additional increases in speed, agility and power.
Note: Requires activation (spending move) for Otsutsuki bios but remains active indefinitely afterwards if the user chooses to. After having a complete Otsutsuki bio with Tenseigan for 1 month, user becomes able to switch between both doujutsu without spending a move. User needs to have activated Byakugan before and had it active for 1 full turn.
Note: Toneri is unable to deactivate his upon it's activation, becoming his default eye state.
Note: When active, the user loses all access to Byakugan related abilities and instead gains Tenseigan effects.
But who was Tiamat to Solomon? It was a difficult question even for the Mage King. One that his wife Sheba would have likely asked him. Over the many centuries Tiamat was slowly forgotten in the histories, a natural product of the gods vanquishing and sealing her. "Stories of Tiamat have largely been erased from history over the ages. But fortunately my eyes allow me to share that history. Humans alive today see Tiamat as a monster, not as the goddess that embodies the concept of life. Tiamat loved, and I suspect still loves, her children. Even the gods that sealed her away. The Great Mother Cult, those who have tormented my family for centuries and who you reference as toying with life, worships her in this sense. But personally, I see Tiamat as a woman of tragedy. A woman with such deep, passionate love for her children that she never wanted to see them leave her." He took another breath, rested his arms behind him and stretched out his legs on the beautiful, sprawling green grass.
Almost before he could absorb these revelations Solomon pressed on, the mage king was clearly comfortable in his speaking, Lucifer could sense a stoic honesty from the man, one that suited his longevity. After a lifetime of holding courts and handling disputes and other duties required of a regent, Solomon seemed content to be able to speak freely, perhaps that was why he had chosen to conceal his presence among this new era of humans.
Lucifer was barely able to dwell on these considerations however, as the information Solomon was sharing was truly eye opening, to think that most humans had forgotten Tiamat, Lucifer often took for granted his ability to see in to the genetic memories of the sea of life, but when he removed his own ability from the equation it made complete sense, how many lifetimes had passed for the humans since the betrayal, centuries filled with propaganda and worse still in the modern age a cult who act in her name yet destroy and sully what she creates.
"I am truly sorry, that your family and your friends have had to suffer at the hands of a cult bearing my mother's name. I believe that you are correct, though I can't claim to speak for my mother, her love for her children is what I feel in my core. This cult does not speak for the mother that I feel in my being, she would never wish such harm on the humans." Lucifer spoke what he believed, but the truth of the matter was that the mother was silent, her voice cut off and only glimpses existed, could the child truly know his mother's desires, no, but that simply reinforced his belief that the cult was not acting in her name either, for if the mother could not speak to her own child, how could she speak to these people.
"I seek this cult that I might discover why they have done these things in my mother's name, though the more I see of their actions the less I believe any answer will justify the atrocities I have witnessed, their crimes against life seem to do naught but insult the mother. However tracking these people has proved troublesome, they are a very secretive sect indeed." Lucifer was more frustrated than ever, to hear that this cult had been operational for so long, since Solomon's youth, if the old king was to be believed. which given his nature Lucifer found no reason to not trust him.
