Will of chaos

Pov Hades:

I close my eyes and feel all the other Heralds connecting with me, one among them 2 were more anxious than all the others, I could feel his Aura fluctuate violently as well as the Divine power pulsate through our connection.

“(Hades, what in Zenos’ name is happening!?)” (Haku)

“(Who is interfering with the Divine Realm!?)” (Zaya)

“(I didn’t even have time to get used to what happened a few days ago and it’s already happening again!?)” (Zaya)

“(Calm down, I’ll show you what happened.)” (me)

As a direct Herald of Zenos, I have a connection like all the other Heralds, I use this connection to transfer parts of my memory to them, to show them what has happened as well as what is happening.

I didn’t expect all of them to feel the changes, much less to have this kind of reaction. In fact, I was surprised by the reaction I was having.

I could feel the flow of power inside me changing. My amount of energy was growing more than 3 times and the purity of my energy was impeccable. All of this without mentioning the Divine power pulsing strongly inside me.

I was really surprised that they were able to connect with me. It seems that the barrier that separates this place from the rest of the universe no longer exists. This could be dangerous.

“(Will you need help?)” (Xagar)

“(No, even if you did, you wouldn’t be able to get here.)” (me)

“(So the master did this, I can’t even control my blood flow, my whole body is in spasms as well as taking control of the blood of those around me, I almost destroyed a city if it weren’t for the stigma on my arm helping to suppress it!)” (Haku)

“(Hades, I was almost captured by Ascendants, I lost control over my power and the whole city came to life by becoming a great monster!)” (Zaya)

“(Hades, take care of the master, I’ll gather everyone and go back.)” (Cinthia)

“(I’ll be waiting for you.)” (me)

I open my eyes again and notice that there were tears falling, as soon as I touched them I realized they were tears of blood.

Looking around, I noticed Freya touching my shoulder and Hajak wrapped in roots coming out of Freya’s other hand, while Davoth was on one knee on the ground covered in sweat.

I no longer felt the power of the Law around me, at least not like it was before, it seemed dull and disconnected.

“What happened while I was away?” (me)

“Hajak did his job, but he was also cut off from the Flow of the Ascending Laws, so he disconnected.” (Freya)

“I’m keeping him with my energy and learning how his power flowed through his body.” (Freya)

“I can feel that something is wrong, what is it?” (me)

“…” (Freya)

I felt that something was wrong, my instincts were screaming it at me, but I couldn’t find what it was, that’s when Freya pointed to the Temple, it seemed normal on the outside, yet I felt something missing, the presence of the master.

“Where did he go?” (me)

“To his Divine Realm, the Star Path.” (Freya)

“Why would he…?” (me)

Suddenly a strong presence descends upon everyone here, then we look towards the same direction in the sky where a portal has opened, a portal from which 7 individuals come out, all of them were Avatars of War.

Each of these people was wearing a hood and a cloak on their hidden bodies as their presence seemed to crush the world we were in, even the Ascendant Laws in the surroundings that were altered by Hajak were destroyed leaving the space in the surroundings chaotic.

“I finally found you Zenos.” (Ayden)

“My master isn’t here…” (me)

Before I could finish speaking, a bloodstained sword was thrown at me, I focused my Divine Power on my sword, defending the blow while being dragged back by the remaining force with my arm trembling.

“(He’s strong…)” (me)

“It’s not your place to speak, Herald of Zenos, do you think I don’t understand what he’s…” (Ayden)

Suddenly another portal opened from where another presence emerged, a strong presence full of murderous intent, the one who appeared was the Avatar of Greed with his subordinates, in his hands the Scythe he used before was already stained red and his body had some light wounds.

“ZEEENOSSS!!!” (Avatar of Greed)

“I’LL CUT OFF YOUR DAMN HEAD AND HANG IT ON MY WALL!!” (Avatar of Greed)

“(This is getting complicated, overly complicated…)” (me)

“Freya, you can do it…” (me)

“Not without him, I don’t know if I could do it with them around either.” (Freya)

“…” (me)

“Why does everything always have to be like this…?” (me)

Soon everyone goes quiet, two more portals open, one filled with a presence of pure hatred could be felt and the other from where the presence itself seems to be a curse to everyone present here.

“I didn’t expect that much, I thought only 1 of them would appear, not 4 of them…” (Freya)

“I thought it would be the Ascendants…” (Hades)

“Why didn’t they leave?” (Davoth)

Suddenly Davoth was by our side, even though he was covered in sweat, he no longer seemed as tired as before.

With his question it became clear that the two portals were still in the sky with no one leaving, a few moments later something fell from the sky, it was a Demon, he was smiling looking at everyone while red lights that came from nowhere focused on him as if he were on a stage.

“Ladies and gentlemen, Avatars and Heralds of all ages!” (Sent from Callidora)

“We have here a magnificent gathering of illustrious guests, so how can you not invite this sexy presenter!??” (Sent from Callidora)

As he spoke, the portal from which the hateful presence came out closed, then a figure again wearing a cloak emerged from the portal where the cursed presence was, as if summoned a new portal appeared next from where a man of incomparable beauty appeared wearing an open coat without a shirt and long pants, his Aura radiated boundless pride and a smile full of confidence was on his face.

“Master, why every time…?” (me)

An incomplete question is an answer that will always be the worst of all if left unsaid, I just looked at the Temple again where a fluctuation of power arises.

Pov Urd:

For the first time since my birth my mind was clear and my heart was at peace, I felt like I was floating in warm water, never in my life have I felt so at ease.

My mind always has voices and thoughts of the Ascendants, my emotions are always being influenced by them, all that fear they feel of not being complete, of not being perfect or of counterfeits from the Gods, their paths are all based on fear, a fear that they do not let on even to themselves, but they cannot hide it from me.

“(This power…a body…?)” (me)

“(My body…?)” (me)

Suddenly I realize that it wasn’t water around me, it was energy, pure energy that wasn’t just around me, it was invading my body and with this perception I realized that at some point I was feeling physical sensations.

I could feel the temperature on my skin, I could feel the movement of the blood inside me, I could hear the beating of a heart in my chest, I could smell the fresh air in the forest, I could feel so many things that I had only been able to feel before when I was in the body of an Ascendant, and this time the sensations were so simple to feel.

When I opened my eyes I was amazed by what was around me, it was a starry sky on all sides, there were also endless paths in the distance as well as shadows moving between the stars and at some point a ring of light appeared in front of me, it took a few moments before I realized that it was an Eclipse, before I realized I had crossed a long distance to be in front of the Eclipse, a book was floating in the middle of the Eclipse and when my eyes saw that book an endless longing welled up inside me, not to have that book just for myself, but to have the opportunity to look at its pages.

I didn’t even realize I was moving again, when I realized the book was already in my hands, but I didn’t want to read such a marvel standing up because I was in a hurry or anxious, for the first time in my life my emotions were at peace and my mind was calm, I wanted to relax in the face of this new experience.

Looking around I saw few things here, there was a marble throne in front of me, there was a tree with two swings to my right and there was a platform to my left.

It was at that moment that my emotions, without being influenced by the Ascendants, moved, something inside me told me to walk towards the throne where I could finally open the book, it was an almost instinctive response, my emotions on the other hand wanted to guide me to that platform as if I could read that book to an audience, an image of the Ascendants listening to my words formed in my heart.

In the end, what prevailed was just one image, but one of the first memories that make up my life that comes from one of the first Ascendants, a memory of Urak in her adolescence receiving a book in her hands while smiling, so eager for knowledge that each book was a new diversion for her, in the memory she always took the books to the nearest tree where she climbed the lowest branch so no one would bother her reading the book.

All she wanted was to lose herself in the pages of the book, to relax peacefully and with a heart pure of curiosity, an image that was lost in time leaving only this arrogant woman in its place now.

“Sometimes, it is in the little things that happiness is found…” (me)

As I spoke, I ignored my instincts and chose to put my emotions aside, all this to experience what an innocent child once experienced, driven by a curiosity that she did not know.

When I got close and touched the tree, it was as if I was touching nature itself. Suddenly I was sitting on its branches, one leg hanging down, swinging without rhythm, and one leg bent to support my hand holding the book. My back was leaning against the tree trunk and a smile formed on my lips as the book with red pages opened for me. A feeling of peace, harmony and fulfillment was all I felt as my eyes traveled through the pages of the book.

“Enjoying your reading?” (Zenos)

“…” (me)

Suddenly my eyes turned to the direction from where I heard a voice. I was so relaxed that it took me a while to realize who was standing below the tree, smiling at me. I also saw that a little behind him was what looked like a staircase leading down.

“Zenos…” (me)
