"Believe me, if I could have just killed and replaced Fate, that would have been done a long time ago. No, if I kill him, then there will be nothing to control the Fate of everyone, and that could mean an unlimited amount of problems with the way that this world is set up. If Fate didn't exist, Murphy would rule that if I can go wrong, it will, meaning the worst possible situation every time. Not something that I want to test out, but I also am not going to listen to Fate insult Karma or any of the other women that love me, and I love back. The little shit has this coming," I said, and then jumped through the portal to the edge of the world to stand on the surface of the water, letting the portal close.
"You think that you can get away with hitting me?!" Fate screamed as she pulled herself onto the surface of the water.
"Don't you get it?" I asked, crossing my arms. "Your power is gone, and keep mouthing off to me and see what happens."
Fate backed away, but then she shook her head and started to laugh.
"You think that you can do anything to me? I am Fate, and no matter what you do, I will always be here. I am the one that shapes the future, and you can't change that," Fate said, and I just started to laugh.
"Sure, I can't kill you because that would be easy, but I can lock you away. Try to go home. Try to change my fate. Try whatever you want, but the result will be the same. Nothing will happen. You are here now, and I am not going to let you go back and fuck up what your sister worked so hard to get," I said, but Fate just laughed and then stepped back.
"You are an idiot. My powers are not gone; they are just weakened. What do you think will happen when I get back to full strength?" Fate asked, and then in a blink, she disappeared, making me groan.
"Are you really proud of yourself? Do you really not get what is going on right now? Do you not get why Karma asked to come here? Why did she put so much effort into making you look attractive?" I asked, putting my hand to my head and shaking it in frustration.
"You are a danger to all of us, and you think that I am trying to take advantage of you! Do you not get it? I am here to protect the people that I love, and I will do everything that I can to keep them safe!" I shouted and fired a massive ball of fire into the air with a roar, and then I let out a sigh as I looked up at the sky.
"Am I The idiot?" I asked myself, not sure what to say to this idiot, but maybe I was really the idiot for even trying. Fate was right, he was Fate, and I couldn't change that.
But I was the god of this world, and I made my own fate. I didn't need some little shit playing with my day, but then what did I do with Fate then?
Fate remained silent, but I couldn't tell what was going on inside her head. I just wanted to shake her. She made me so frustrated, and I wasn't about to let her go back and make Karma's life miserable.
"What do you want to do?" I finally asked, and Fate looked at me.
"What choices do I have?" Fate asked, and I held up two fingers.
"One, I put you in a cell and leave you there, so you don't bother your sister or me; that doesn't like you very much right now, if at all," I said and dropped a finger. "Two, you stop bathing your sister and everyone else. If you want to act like a brat with me, fine, but know that I will put you over my knee without a moment's hesitation in front of everyone and paddle your ass till you can't sit properly. There are no other choices at this point. You have had an eternity to get your shit together, and you have decided to act like your little chibi avatar the entire time. I think it is about time for you to grow up, don't you?"
Fate was silent for a moment, and then she nodded and looked away.
"I understand. I will try to do better," Fate said, and I let out a sigh of relief.
"Good. Now, let's go back," I said, opened a portal to Eliza's kitchen, and stepped through.
Eliza and the others were now dressed in normal clothes, and they had started to make a cake. It was a chocolate cake with a creamy strawberry frosting, and Eliza was adding the finishing touches.
"I am so glad you are back. We got worried!" Eliza said and then hugged me tightly.
"I'm fine. I just had to have a talk with Fate." I said, and Eliza nodded.
"It was about time. So, what is the plan?" Eliza asked, and I sighed.
"We are going to make sure that Fate behaves from now on, and we are not going to let her get her sister's hair. I think that if we try to treat her like a normal person, then things will be fine, I hope," I said as Fate stepped through.
Karma looked over at Fate but then turned her nose up and turned back to Luck, who put some frosting on her nose.
I looked at Fate, and a range of emotions stormed across her face, and she looked like she was about to bolt. Thankfully, Tallia came over and gave me a kiss before taking Fate by the hand.
"I think that I will take Fate for a bit. I think that she might need some time away from everything for now. I don't want to burst your bubble of relaxation today, and I know that it is getting late, but don't forget about the food problem," She said, and then I slapped my hand to my forehead.
