Will of chaos

Pov High Priestess Yaramaki (Yara):

Everyone had gone to get something to eat while the house was being finished, but they didn’t realize how much a house, even a temporary one, means in this place.

All the houses in this place are temporary, with the exception of Cyrion’s servants and a few people who were allowed to live here permanently.

The various Religions have dormitories inside their temples, even Adventurers stay in dormitories organized by the Guild or in one of the available Hotels on the island.

Very few have temporary homes, Zenos got this because of possibly being the son of the Blood Goddess.

It was interesting to see everyone acting so freely during the meal, it seems like none of them noticed it, in fact, everyone is taking this whole situation lightly.

After everyone has left the restaurant I separate from them and head for the city gates where I find Alvin waiting for me.

“Sorry for the delay.” (I)

“Don’t worry about it, Mistress Yaramaki.” (Alvin)

“Are you sure he can see me? Is he awake?” (I)

“He’s sleeping as usual, but he’ll be awake when we get there.” (Alvin)

“He knows everything that happens here, we are always connected to him too.” (Alvin)

“So come on, let me see how this old man has been doing all this time.” (I)

“If he lets me.” (Alvin)

Alvin and I walk through the gates as white mist pours out of the shell behind his back, then becomes a cloud beneath our feet.

At that moment we both stopped walking and the cloud started to fly over the trees, there was a barrier around us preventing the wind or the attacks of the few aerial monsters during our way to the front part of the Island, the part that is to the direction the island is heading.

In about 10 minutes we reached the coast of the island again, then we went down below the water for a few tens of meters where a gigantic round cave was, the barrier around us keeps the ocean water away, as the island was in constant movement the cloud in where we are standing remains at the same speed as the island while maintaining a fixed distance from the cave.

Me and Alvin stand facing the cave, Alvin kneels while I remain calm as we wait for the old man to open his eyes. 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙚𝙡.𝙤𝙧𝒈

“(It’s been a while since I’ve seen two of your family together.)” (Cyrion)

“(That’s because our purpose is to get scattered around the world.)” (I)

As I begin to hear that husky, deep voice in my mind, two glowing blue eyes open in the darkness of the cave, each of those eyes nearly three times my size.

“(You’re following a truly interesting group this time.)” (Cyrion)

“(Didn’t expect to see a Champion of Fenrir, that idiot was never good at choosing his representatives well.)” (Cyrion)

“(You should know better than most how everyone is capable of getting wiser with age, you old decrepit.)” (I)

“(Should I remind you that our age difference is only 65000 years? You’re almost as old as I am.)” (Cyrion)

“(Don’t come with your games, you underwent a Spiritual Rebirth with the help of the God of Spirits, and you are older than this planet.)” (I)

“(Ha HaHaHaHa, come on Yara, we both know why you’re here.)” (Cyrion)

“(The God of Light is becoming more active, he’s tired of waiting for the other Gods to turn against the Gods he calls the Impure.)” (I)

“(Just forget about that fool, he can do whatever he wants but he’ll never act directly.)” (Cyrion)

“(Doing so would cause a Divine War, nor does he want to see something like that again.)” (Cyrion)

“(I’m not so sure, he always thought he was the greatest of all Gods, his excessive pride and certainty that he’s always right to have been a problem since before I was born.)” (I)

“(Your pride of him is just a mask to hide your fury.)” (Cyrion)

“(My Goddess has said this in the past to me, but only once, but I’ve never seen a sign of it.)” (I)

“(You’ve seen it yes, everyone has seen the result of Baldr’s rage, his prejudice against Demons and Demis, his hatred for Selene.)” (Cyrion)

“(All this stems from the helplessness he felt when that man was still alive, he hated that mortal for what he became in the end.)” (Cyrion)

“(You mean…)” (I)

“(Don’t say his name, let the dead rest, even if there’s nothing left to rest.)” (Cyrion)

“(Even though that name is being used again, the meaning has changed.)” (Cyrion)

“(What do you know about it?)” (I)

“(Which you don’t need to know, at least not right now.)” (Cyrion)

“(Also, I will not participate in the battle, there are still worse enemies than Baldr, others like me will wait for the right moment to act.)” (Cyrion)

“(You must be the laziest creature there is.)” (I)

“(That’s because you haven’t met the Goddesses of Sleep or one of Selene’s daughters if I’m not mistaken she’s been arguing a Dragon lately.)” (Cyrion)

Pov Zenos:

The next day I woke up still on the roof with the sun on my face, I think I fell asleep while watching the stars.

After waking up I go downstairs to the kitchen where Alice is in charge of today’s food.

———–

Some hours later.

I was hanging out with Vanessa, Diana, Yara, Karina, Nix, and Hinata.

Today’s plan is to make some visits to the Temples and Churches that they are a part of, the notebook that the turtle man named Alvin gave us yesterday contains the location of several places, including Churches and Temples.

Reading that notebook I was happy that the Church of Light really isn’t in this place, I wouldn’t want to be on an island with those persecuting maniacs.

“Are you sure it wouldn’t be better for everyone to split up?” (I)

“Yea.” (all)

“You have to come to the Temple of Blood with me, besides you should go with Diana to the Temple of Beasts.” (Vanessa)

“There’s someone I’d like everyone to meet.” (Yara)

“I need you to come with me to the Dragon Temple, there’s a ceremony we both have to go through to prove I can become a High Priestess.” (Karina)

“I want to know more about my father, so I also want to go to the Dragon Temple.” (Nix)

Sigh

“(I just wanted a vacation, is that asking too much?)” (I)
