Will of chaos

For a few seconds my mind went blank and I couldn’t understand what was happening or what I had seen, Vanessa was talking to me with a worried face and when she shook me it was like waking up.

I notice the tears welling up in my eyes and wipe them away with the handkerchief I pull out of my storage item.

“Dad, are you okay? Are you feeling something? Are you sad about something? Do you want to leave?” (Vanessa)

“I’m fine now, it was no big deal.” (I)

I don’t believe my words myself, so I wasn’t surprised to see Vanessa’s suspicious and worried look.

To be honest, I don’t know what just happened, I felt like I was in a dream, it all happened so fast, but for some reason, it feels like it happened a long time ago, I’m confused by a lot of things right now.

I wanted to understand what happened, but I couldn’t resolve this mess in my head, so I ended up doing what I always do, I tried to forget about it since I had nothing else to do about it.

I look around to at least understand where I am and I go back to the picture of the child on his back holding a sword covered in blood, I walk over to this picture and Vanessa follows me.

“What picture is this?” (I)

“This painting is called “first sin”, this painting has in all the Temples of Blood because it has existed since the Goddess Selene still walked among mortals in time immemorial.” (Vanessa)

“This is just a copy like many others, the real one is lost a long time ago, it is said that the Goddess herself painted the original using the blood of many creatures whose power can destroy worlds.” (Vanessa)

“That looks like something scary.” (I)

“If this painting is so important, then why is this one in such a hidden place in this great place, I’m sure a lot of people don’t even notice it normally.” (I)

“Why do many people get emotional seeing this painting even though it’s a copy, but I’ve never heard of a case as serious as yours though.” (Vanessa)

“(Not there anymore…)” (I)

I look at the board confirming once again that the man was not there, nor was the landscape of ruins.

“(I don’t remember his face very well, it all happened very fast and I was confused, but I felt that man looked familiar.)” (I)

After spending a few more minutes looking at this painting I turn my attention to Vanessa and we go back to looking at the statue of the Goddess Selene.

I go to the statue and get down on my knees to pray at least that’s how I’ve always seen it done on TV.

“(I ask for more luck and for my height to increase another 20 centimeters.)” (I)

“(If my luck stops being negative, it will be good enough.)” (I)

“(Give up your luck and about your height, you already know the answer.)” (Goddess Selene) 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝑚

“…” (I)

I suddenly heard the Goddess Selene’s voice clearly in my head, but I also started to feel a slight pressure on me.

“(I’ll be brief so I don’t put too much pressure on your soul.)” (Goddess Selene)

“(Thank you for agreeing to help the Blood Demons, your race is very loyal to me.)” (Goddess Selene)

I could hear even more clearly the Goddess’s voice in my head, it was pleasantly gentle to me.

“(Why am I hearing you in my head?)” (I)

“(You’re just praying to me, so the most I can do is speak into your mind, but even that will put a strain on your soul, damn it, I can’t linger.)” (Goddess Selene)

“(I can’t be too specific, so I just prayed to say trust…)” (Goddess Selene)

Goddess Selene gave me some advice but none of it was clear in her message, she spoke in a mysterious way instead of being direct as she normally does, this makes things difficult for me as I am not sure how she wants me to understand the meaning of your words.

I was glad to hear her voice while still inside the Temple of the Blood instead of waking up in an unfamiliar place somewhere as usual, but it seems like that was just because I was her son, but even that puts pressure on my soul accordingly. with your words

After listening to some of the things she wanted to say to me, I open my eyes and see Vanessa praying beside me with a smile on her face.

After we left the Temple of the Blood I noticed that there were still other people of different religions waiting outside, I spread my wings and start to fly as far away from this place as possible.

After we arrive, I continue to work with everyone to prepare the expedition to what Lilian calls the Capital of the Undead.

I came up with some plans that will be useful along the way or during the battles, as this time our main objective was the rescue, so I had to try to hide until I found the place where the prisoners are.

For these plans to work, we have to have a few people walking around that place, so I chose that in addition to my family members, the next ones who will accompany me will be Helga, Irina, Irius, Vanessa and érica…

The others could be useful, but I have to stay focused on what matters, which is rescuing prisoners.

After we had some plans ready, we all went to get something to eat and get ready to leave, I sent a letter to the Queen telling her what we discovered.

With all this ready, all that remained was to sleep comfortably in my bed, as soon as I lie in bed, I feel like I have a great weight on top of me all day.

Zzzzzzz…

Zzzzz…

Zzz…

———-

The next day everyone got ready in a hurry as every second was important, we ate a delicious meal before packing our things to leave.

Almost everyone has returned to the Dungeon I close the gate and go out using it, with those things settled we set off on our weeklong bad guys trip.

I did well not to be hot headed and to have waited until this moment to go, that’s why I got a lot of information about this ruined Capital, now I feel that we were ready to go on this rescue trip.
