Will of chaos

I take a better look at this Avatar, his eyes are vibrant and full of life, which shows his youth, even though I’m not sure of his real age.

He had white hair with golden tips tied in a small ponytail at the back and on the sides his white hair with golden tips was curly, his skin was white with a tan, he had a well-trained body, his Aura was very simplistic in its efficiency and also seemed to contain a beautifying effect around him, I can already imagine the reason as well as his origin even without him having the same elf ears as his mother.

“How about we start with introductions?” (me)

“I am Zenos, among many things I am also known as the Bringer of Chaos, a pleasure to meet you.” (me)

“My name is Ronan.” (Ronan)

“I am a newly accepted Avatar of Pride, known for my beauty, charm and investigative skills.” (Ronan)

“A pleasure to see you, Bringer of Chaos.” (Ronan)

I extend my hand during the introduction and he does the same, a brief handshake, where our Auras interact and I realize what he meant by investigation.

His Aura was different, it seemed like a full extension of his senses and I felt several different layers of probing, it seems that he has many observation, investigation and analysis skills, I don’t recognize even half of it and fortunately I don’t even need to.

Trying to probe me is impossible, my Primordial Dragon body blocks probing from anyone with a Will weaker than mine, my mind is protected by my Divine Kingdom, my Soul and by extension my power are protected by the power of Chaos that alters everything it touches, even my Aura cannot be analyzed beyond the superficial.

Seeing his expression not change and not show any change when a part of his Aura that went too far was devoured by my Aura, was a little surprising, Auras so linked to the senses like this tend to be much more sensitive to their possessors.

“Did you manage to find out anything interesting?” (me)

“There’s always something to find out, this time it was the limits I can explore.” (Ronan)

“A little too honest for an investigator, didn’t your mother teach you that?” (me)

“She believes in brutal honesty, she also said it would be the best way to deal with you.” (Ronan)

“How is Ohara? Why did she send you here?” (me)

“She’s fine, she’s always fine to be honest and I’d really like it to stay that way.” (Ronan)

“I’m the only one of my brothers here, in fact I’m the only one who came to this universe to watch over Ghanor.” (Ronan)

“I don’t remember seeing you when I found him.” (me)

“Of course not, who would I be if I could be so easily noticed, but I was pleasantly surprised to see how you escaped my senses in that attack.” (Ronan)

I remember the sequel to the rescue population when he was pretending to be an Ascendant, I didn’t notice him at the time and the way the whole city was in a mess would have exposed him, his skills seem to be very good.

“Now tell me, why are you here?” (me)

“No problem, my mother didn’t ask me for anything, before you ask, I just received instructions from Pride.” (Ronan)

“It’s not often that you see the birth of an Entity, I couldn’t miss this.” (Ronan)

“How about you tell me the real reason? Don’t try to trick me or insult my intelligence?” (me)

“(Even if that was perhaps true, it doesn’t seem like he stayed here just to talk.)” (me)

“Okay, I’m not telling the whole truth, but I’m not lying.” (Ronan)

“Pride as well as the other Entities acting in this universe must have been surprised by this new Entity, this is too rare an occurrence to miss.” (Ronan)

“But that wasn’t my only reason, I was here for another reason, I wanted your help to hunt someone.” (Ronan)

“Hunting?” (me)

I look into his eyes, he seems sincere, but he also looks like a used car salesman trying to push a new-looking old can on me.

I keep thinking about how little I know about him, Hades has already told me everything that happened while I was away, in fact he transferred his memories to me, so I know how all these Avatars ended up here, as well as the Envoy of Callidora.

This Avatar of Pride basically did nothing, he didn’t speak and didn’t act once, even when he was one of those marked by the Envoy of Callidora, he didn’t hide his mark and did his best to show it to everyone.

The way he acted carefree the whole time, the way he tried to open the doors where Urd left and the way he waited drinking tea until I came back to talk to him, all of this was planned to pique my curiosity.

Besides that, he said that his job here was to watch over Ghanor, that Demon who was using the power of Hell and was supposed to be an Avatar of Pride, the one who was killed by Niryna a short time ago.

“(Wait, if he needs my help, then it must be…)” (me)

“The answer is no.” (me)

“Hohh… you don’t even want to hear the proposal?” (Ronan)

“Your target is an Avatar, right?” (me)

“Yes, you realized it faster than expected.” (Ronan)

“Then I don’t need to hear anything else, I have enough problems already, I don’t need to go against an Avatar.” (me)

“You don’t even want to know the reward?” (Ronan)

“I’m not a greedy person, whatever you offer will have little importance to me.” (me)

“(Something isn’t right…)” (me)

He seems very calm and is leading this conversation in a somewhat obvious direction, he wanted me to talk about the target and he wanted me to talk about the reward, it would also be obvious that I wouldn’t accept, no one in their right mind would accept going against an Avatar without personal reasons involved.

“I can promise an Alliance in the name of Pride.” (Ronan)

“Nice try, but your mother already has a deal with me.” (me)

“A non-aggression agreement is as fragile as Pride deciding to go against you, even my mother wouldn’t go against Pride for you.” (Ronan)

“That sounds more like a threat than a reward, I must say your negotiation skills are horrible.” (me)

“Pride wouldn’t come after me without a reason, he has nothing to gain other than a spiteful enemy with a very deadly mindset.” (me)

“Then if you’ll excuse me…” (me)

I get up from my chair politely, I wouldn’t let him provoke me, I also don’t think Pride would become an enemy, as I said before, no Entity has anything to gain by opposing me, with the exception of a few who are already enemies because I’m getting in the way of their plans.

Unfortunately, it didn’t end as I expected. He didn’t try to stop me from leaving, but I felt like he was laughing as if he was dancing in the palm of his hand, or maybe in the palm of Pride’s hand.

When I left there, heading back to the Temple of Urd, I went to a corner where I contacted the Twins, but only Cortana appeared.

“Where’s Lena?” (me)

“Getting ready, Urd doesn’t have full control over her power to make a selective choice when to affect the Ascendants later in the plans.” (Cortana)

“Lena wants to reach out to the traitorous Ascendants and is preparing for it.” (Cortana)

“She should talk to Davoth about it. As far as I know, most of these Ascendants are suicidal.” (me)

“We’ve already done that. We have the number as well as the identities of these Ascendants.” (Cortana)

“But that’s not why you called me. What do you need?” (Cortana)

“It’s about Pride and one of his Avatars…” (me)

I started telling Cortana everything I knew as well as everything that had happened, she has more knowledge about Entities than I do and also has some experience in dealing with them.

“You’re still very naive, Zenos.” (Cortana)

“He knew you would come to talk to me or Lena… in fact, Pride knew and just gave him instructions.” (Cortana)

“That means Pride expects you and Lena to support this alliance.” (me)

“You support…?” (me)

“Zenos, you’re not mistaken that they are manipulating the situation so you accept their proposal, even making you look for us is to make it easier to convince you.” (Cortana)

“There are many Entities and some are already showing hostility towards us, such as Greed, Hatred, Curse and for what you did before, Plague will also come after you.” (Cortana)

“The Gods like your Mother and Akatosh from your universe do not have the ability to fight against the Entities.” (Cortana)

“Urd has just become an Entity and will be busy for a few decades or centuries when she ends up here if everything goes well, so she will be of little help.” (Cortana)

“Lena and I are too weak to help regardless of our intention to focus on her side, we can all stand together against an Entity, but that is not winning.” (Cortana)

“If allying with another Entity that already has a lot of power like Pride will be a deterrent, even if not for everyone, it will still give us the protection we need.” (Cortana)

“…” (me)

“He knew that, that’s why it seemed like a threat, it was a warning.” (me)

I hate to admit it, but Cortana is right, I can’t fight the Entities.

“Just a deal…” (me)
