Discussing business with the gods


    I am in the living room of the stardust mansion with Alice and Julia. Julia, who looks like she is three years old even if she is not even one yet, is climbing on my body and play-biting me each time she get the chance to do so, she now have medium long red wavy hair on her head and she sometimes make small dragon-like wings appear in her back, her blue scales have a young shine and her little tail often hit my face while she is playing on me. Her green slitted eyes beamed with exitement as she climb the mountain she call ''Papa''. I want to spend as much time with her as possible since I''ll miss her birthday.


    As for Alice she is resting her head on my lap, I am slowly passing my hand thrugh her hair. There is nothing romantic about that, only two friends comforting each other.


    |Ya should''ve known I''ll help ya so why didn''t ya wanted me ta go ?|(Apocalypse)


    |You .... your are someone I know nobody should piss off yet everybody does. At first I did not wanted to involve you because the number of death would surely be greater then if we let it be and accepted death quietly but I thought about my brother ... he ... he isn''t even ten yet so why should he die when he doesn''t even understand life so I decided to tell you .... I am just a coward ... sniiff sniff, I can''t accept my own fate.|(Alice)


    Her voice was growing weaker and weaker, she is only one nineteen years old since it has been six year that I''ve been here. Me I am more or less ready to risk my life, if you count the time I spent in a VRMMO then I am almost thirty two years old since time was faster in them. In four years of gaming I had accumulated eleven years worth of time so my mind lived longer than my body, also there is the fact that I was born five hundred years ago.


    |What''s wrong with trying ta stay alive when ya can ?|(Apocalypse)


    |Huh ?|(Alice)


    |Human nature is ugly but what''s wrong with that. Humans worship tha Dragon goddess but deep down I know they are tha closest ta the Tytans besides tha Vermillion so it''s normal for them ta stay true ta their own feelings. So don''t worry about it Alice, ya should also know that if any of ya were killed I wouldn''t just stand by.|(Apocalypse)


    |Maybe ... sniff .... but at least you are powerful enough not to be afraid by such thing.|(Alice)


    |Sigh, ya know what ? Ya should really find a husband quickly.|(Apocalypse)


    |... sniff ... what are you saying when I try to be serious ... sniff|(Alice)


    |I am serious Alice, that''d do ya some good. Ya know what I''ll take ya ta someone who knows more about that than me, it''s a good opportunity since I also need ta ask them some question.|(Apocalypse)


    |What are ...you sniff ... saying ?|(Alice)


    |Oy, scaled goddess I got some questions for ya and need some advice so ya better bring me ta yar place right now or I''ll get mad !! And don''t forget Alice and Julia.|(Apocalypse)


    Alice looks at me with her red eyes she got from crying and give me look like I was a mad man and she couldn''t comprehend what I was doing but the scenary soon changed from my living room to an enormous valley with a forest behind us. In front of us was an enormous golden dragon with its arms crossed on its chest. I looked down at my body and it had changed into a blue scaled dragons one. I look at Julia and she had turned into a little blue scaled dragon and was cutely tilting her head on the side. I look at Alice and ...


    |A chicken ?|(Apocalypse)


    |Bid sistew Alicew is a chickenew ~~|(Julia)


    Yeah even she normally looks like she is three she is still three and thus can''t speak that well yet. No but seriously, a chicken ? Where Alice should be standing is a frightened golden chicken who isn''t even as big as one of my claws, even Julia is bigger than her.


    |Where am I ?! Apocalypse, is that you ?|(Alice)


    She said while looking at the dragon me. I nod and she started to breath in and out at a swift pace before calming herself down. Her eyes fell soon enough on the golden dragon and she quickly run behind me. I let out a small laugh.


    |Who is this ? Is that the one you were talking to me about ?|(Alice)


    |Yep, it''s tha Dragon goddess.|(Apocalypse)


    |THE WHAT ?!!!|(Alice)


    Then Alice quickly run in front of me and quickly start to bow several time in her chicken form, this time we all bursted out laughing except for Alice who was still bowing like her life depended on it. Well I guess that''s the normal reaction you have when you meet a god.


    |Easy there Alice, bowing won''t do anything. Anyway it''s her I wanted ya ta met.|(Apocalypse)If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.


    |S-since when do you know the Dragon goddess ? Y-y-you were always telling you weren''t serving any god so why ? M-my poor little brain !!|(Alice)


    Well she already more cheerful, or maybe her brain fried in the process ? That''s still a possibility too. Anyway I tell her to speek with the the goddess so the two of them go away for a bit so I play with Julia, she seems to like her dragon form quite a bit and she is too fucking agile for me Gaaahhh stop flying under me you''re tickling me. After a while Alice and the goddess come back, Alice seems to be in a better mood since she isn''t a chicken anymore but more like a fiery crow, you should normaly think it is another person but I can sense it is Alice.


    |So Apocalypse, what did you want to ask me ?|(Dragon goddess)


    |On whose side are ya on ?|(Apocalypse)


    |Excuse me ?|(Dragon goddess)


    |I am asking ya on whose side of tha battle ya are ? Are ya on my side, peace between tha races but death ta those who fight against it ? Are ya tha church side, bullshit and burning everybody that doesn''t agree with ya ? Are ya on the Dragons side, whatever they do ? Are ya neutral and don''t care if I anihilate every single one of them because they stand in my way ? And what is the Tytan of earth position in that story ?|(Apocalypse)


    |That ... that is a question both of us need to answer. Geez I haven''t seen him in the past five thousands year and now I have to call him to answer some question. OY YOU FAT-ASS GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE !!|(Dragon goddess)


    After her shout the ground shook and a mountain rose .... no, it wasn''t a mountain, it was a giant humanoid body made out of scorched earth. It was even bigger than the Dragon goddess and exuded the same oppressive air. That was without a doupt the Tytan of earth, I had already guessed it but they doesn''t seems to be in bad terms, or at least not to the point of having a war going on between each other, I mean if they did hated each other why would they even bother answering each other calls ?


    |Okay I am here. Thanks for setting me up with him Drakina, I guess it is time to have a serious talk between the three of us, so I''ll send the two of them back. Is that alright with you ?|(Tytan of Earth)


    |Do it, business talk are ta be made without outsiders after all.|(Apocalypse)


    The Dragon goddess breath in and breath out a golden flame at Alice and Julia who disappear without traces. The Tytan of earth snap his fingers and he shrink, his scorched skin turned into a brown arabian colored skin, his eyes were deep brown and he was wearin a black modern suit.His hair were black and cut short with a small beard on his face.


    |Mr Maferbet ?|(Apocalypse)


    |Seems you recognize me, so I guess that answer one of the question you oftened asked yoursef. Yes there were external influence in the making of the VRMMO games.|(Tytan of earth)


    Fuck, who would''ve thought that the director of the biggest video-game society on Earth was in fact one of the two major god of another world. Heck this guy even interviewed me and Imperion once .... My trust in the world has now been swallowed by distrust. What if one of my classmate had been the Dragon goddess ... Oh my god that would have horrible. Hey !! Mr Maferbet why are you stiffling a laugh ?!


    |Ahem, should we get right to the point.|(Dragon goddess)


    |Of course, sorry. To answer your question Apocalypse, we are on your side. The war should have ended at you and your sister''s birth but it seems the Dragons didn''t saw it that way.|(Mr Maferbet)


    |What do you mean by that ?|(Apocalypse)


    |Do you know the purpose of this war ?|(Dragon goddess)


    |Wasn''t it because ya were pissed off at each other for whatever reason a god could have ta be pissed off ?|(Apocalypse)


    |Why would we create a world together if we did not get along ? No, the purpose of this war was for the sake of this world. We were looking for a Guardian.|(Mr Maferbet)


    What are they talking about ? I know I can''t even fthom to understand a god''s thinking since we have a vision of the word that is totally different but what is this Guardian ? It must be quite important since they had to wage a war without wanting it to obtain it. Once again I could get mad and tell them they played with people''s life but knowing that they are the gods of this world it was certainly for its own good why create something to destroy it after all.


    |Glad you understand. Now let me explain what a Guardian is supposed to be. A Guardian is a creature or something else that has the power and the duty to protect that world from outsiders invasion, not that it happens often but there is sometimes something that cross the void to another world with bad intentions. You already met some after all. Anyway back to the Guardian, since me and Drakina have created this world together the Guardian had to be a creature of both me and her.


    However our affiliation as gods being different we couldn''t create it on our own so we first created our apostles and made them battle with each other. Why make them battle each other ? Because it would cause a dark age. And why cause a dark age ? Because when out wrld is in a dark age, us, gods are allowed to twist our world fate by making a grand prophecy. A grand prophecy is like any other prophecy but on a much larger scale.


    In the dark age we made the prophecy : "And one day the children of a Tytan and a Dragon shall rise from the ashes of war, knowing bot the sky and the earth he will unite the spirits and fleshes. Unwelding to the blazing flame of the scaled one and ever standing like a proud moutain they shall fight for unity and peace but beware for Wrath knows no Forgiveness nor Mercy. Those standing in their way shall perish in the deepest pit of a never ending hell of a raging fire known only to the children themselves".|(Mr Maferbet)


    |And me and my sister are those children, am I right ?|(Apocalypse)


    |As of now you only are. You are the crosspoint between demonic, because you do not serve any god, Groundian, because you are a Vermillion and Heavenly since your mother was Forgiveness. Because you are aware of that you are powerful. While I cannot say too much about it for interference reasons, your sister is only aware of her Dragon self and do not know of her true origins, therefore she is far weaker than you even though she is Mercy.|(Mr Maferbet)


    |Okay so I''ve got my answers. So in short it doesn''t bother ya if I murder every fucking priest who messed with tha people close ta me ?|(Apocalypse)


    Mr Maferbet put his right hand on my left shoulder and looked at me in the eyes, since I was in dragon form it was strange since he had to enlarge his head and make his arm longer.


    |While I''d like you to refrain from doing that because judging who''s going to heaven and who''s going to hell is quite bothersome ...| A carnivorous smile creeped on his face and revealed a row of sharp menacing teeth. | You can wreck havoc on whoever is standing in your way.|(Mr Maferbet)


    |Still I''d like if you did not kill all of my believers.|(Dragon goddess)


    A carnivorous smile creeped on my dragonic face and my eyes flashed with excitement. Just wait a second shitty pope, I''ll show you why they say that a mad beast is only harder to kill.
