Chapter 20 - Stunning Myths On New Years

since I've introduced the myths into this i shall continue doing so, as again my story and my whims on the direction it goes as I'm purely doing this for fun!, plus someone challenged me by saying i gotta step it up after the Christmas one so I'm making a new myth that will essentially follow the mc from now on, Some may complain that this ruins the world but from the start you can't expect this have been normal with game elements and other things involved plus I'm English but even i suck at my own language!

======================================

Well todays its the thirty-first of the year, what year I don't know. My phone doesn't tell me so I don't care! Santa and Jack have both actually become quite famous amongst survivors. In just six days they've done quite a lot of things. Jack's even running a ice cream shop with Santa. Its only open in the mornings from six o'clock to twelve in the afternoon. Before they start working on taking care of the reindeer, Prancer is pregnant. Seems Dasher knocked them up and its interesting to learn that they count as myths.

So Prancer got pregnant pretty fast, Santa explained its cause they finally get a break. Since they no longer really have a duty to Christmas anymore. That now they'll start reproducing like normal reindeer, but a bit faster since they're magical still. So I occasionally stop by the ranch and give those reindeer some attention. Donner Likes to lift me up in his antlers and basically kidnap me. While making loud and slightly annoying happy noises at his idea of fun. Though anyone that passes by gets a laugh at seeing the settlement leader being deernapped.

Today however Jack kidnapped me into a small blizzard. Bringing me to a strange place where around me are six different terrains. Where six giant creatures, representing earth, fire, water, air, light, and darkness. Are looking down at me while Jack is just playing with a snow soldier behind me. So I sigh and take a look at the creatures all looking down at me. Seeing some pretty typical mythical creatures among them.

For fire it was a big majestic looking Phoenix wreathed in golden flames. Water was a Hydra that had four heads and aquamarine scales. Earth had a giant Golem Earth Dragon that looked to be made of a mix of the strongest metals. Air had a pretty big but appealing mothery Sylph woman. Light had a typical angelic looking annoying fuċk that had a fake smile. That was eaten by a Ancient Holy Dragon soon after so guess thats representative! Finally Darkness had a Fenrir and Barghest mixed wolf. That looked at me with I guess a smile, that made me the safest from all the others. So since nothings happened yet I walked to it.

Where it stuck its face into mine pretty quickly but I just chuckled. While I started hugging and petting the giant wolf which surprised it. Since most would be scared of the moon devouring Fenrir, and the Barghest that has some dangerous stuff in its myths. However, I only saw a big fluffy puppy and loved on it. Before the Phoenix interrupted me with a exasperated screech. The other myths seemed rather curious though at what I did. So with a cough I sat down in front of the darkness representative. Jack couldn't help but burst out laughing like a mad man.

"You really don't give a damn do you kid? Your meeting some pretty dangerous mythological creatures. Yet you treat one like its a puppy you've had for years! If the others hadn't sealed their domains they'd love this!"

As Jack finished his little mad laughter spree, a new voice spoke up.

"Jack Frost Guardian of eternal winter! What is the meaning of this! Why have you brought a mortal into the space between our seals! Answer before I roast you both alive!"

"Chill out you over grown ire chicken! This Biazar Chimera, a human who's died once. A god apparently favours him a fair bit that he's been reincarnated. Into this world but once he dies or wills it he will move onto another world I guess. As his soul from what me and Santa Claus can see is a blazing rainbow. Thats bound to exist forever until its some how snuffed out."

When Jack finished that long explanation, the motherly sylph spoke up.

"Oh? So this child is special.... but you mentioned his soul is like a blaze. So that must mean you need something from us right? Since his soul likely has no breaks to stop it from growung to fast. Eventually making this strange but unique child die forever right?"

"As expected from such a motherly but stunning lady. You figured it out pretty fast unlike the fire chicken there!"

With a chuckle from the Hydra and Earth Dragon representatives. While the Holy Dragon gave a small nod of understanding. The Phoenix kept screeching angrily at Jack for insulting it. The Fenrir behind me though suddenly grabbed my collar and threw me onto its back. Before a childish voice spoke out making the others stop.

"I like this child of man, he didn't mind my appearance or looks. He just treated me like a life long friend of his when he saw me. Sure its a little demeaning as the daughter of Fenrir and a ancient Barghest to be treated like a puppy. But its nice to have a friend, even among the mythological community. People avoid me cause of father being the devouring moon wolf, and mother spreading diesease wherever she walks.

But this child doesn't seem to mind our looks much, Hydra got a curious look when he saw her. Earth Dragon got a very interested look when he saw them. Sylph got a although sleazy look a very genuine look of interest. That angel from before got a disgusted look, but Holy Dragon got a very approving smile. While you Phoenix got a slightly normal look but he was still pleased. So guardian of eternal winter, I'd like to know your plan for this child!"

Everyone had a rather stunned look on their faces from what this pup just said. But I mainly got that she's lonely so I started pampering her as she just spoke for me. So when the others looked at each other Jack just gave the most manic but joyus laugh he could. A blizzard kicking up in wake of his laugh before dying down.

"Princess you've got guts to speak your mind towards these old monsters. While being pampered by Biazar there! So I'll gladly tell you for being brave enough to listen! Its quite simple that child needs a "Guardian Beast" that can handle his souls explosive growth. So I brought him to this space where you ancient monsters are at. So that you could all pour a little of your power into making him one. Before he destroys this already fuċkėd world where the dead are roaming!"

As soon as Jack finished the young Fenrir Barghest didn't wait. Her domain lit up with a seal while she looked at Jack rather intensely with a mad look. Before with a roaring chuckle the Holy Dragon followed suite saying "This shall be exciting to witness a myths birth!" The Hydra and its heads gave a approving nod, joining suite. The Earth Dragon gave its approval as its seal suddenly lit up. Then the Sylph who gave Jack and me a amused giggle at this sudden action. The Phoenix under the stares of the others gave in unwillingly.

So under Jack's guide i returned to the center of the realm. Where my soul suddenly felt like it being attacked. While above me a new mythological creature was being born. After twenty painful minutes of soul rending torture. A small puppy dropped into my arms. Well I say puppy but its a black and red Fenrir, with gold highlights in its fur. With some metallic dragon scale like armour around its feet and claws. six burning white gold anglic wings sprouting from its back. While it has some black fog seeping out of it. Like that of a Barghest but hopefully this little one doesnt spread something bad.

While I studied the puppy in my arms Jack interrupted my thoughts.

"Woah thatsca pretty interesting looking myth that was just born. From your powers using his soul, painful but effective method! So what shall us the mythological community call our new member?"

Jack looked at each representative with his arms spread wide. As they all spoke in unison as if they decided already.

"Myriad, The beast of eternity and all six elements. The one who walks with man yet also not."

"Wow so I just made a kid with six mythological legends at once. This is one weird new years but I got a puppy. Out of this all that also doubles as my companion for keeping me alive."

So before anything could happen Jack hastily escaped with me. But i shall remember those looks I received. As they completely didn't expect my random comment. So once Jack brought us back, I was standing out front of Santa's home. With Myriad in my arms still, while jack trudged off to likely complain. Which by the suns height its already the afternoon so I went to get lunch. After getting some reindeer milk from one of Santa's reindeers. Before heading of to a cafe that recently opened up in the settlement.

Where I took a seat outside at one of the tables and ordered a meatball sub. So while waiting for it to arrive I made a special bottle in the workshop. Starting to feed Myriad some reindeer milk not caring for the looks. Clementine showed up later though and looked at my pup. Before simply asking what she is and stopping once I said a myth. As asking me anymore would break her already breaking logic. My meatball sub showed up shortly afterwards, so I started eating it. While I let Clementine play with Myriad to take her mind off the logic breaking.

Like that a few hours have passed with Clementine following me around. Myriad now riding on my head making wafu sounds. As everyone is throwing a new years party around us. Making merry and trying to not care so much about the strange pup on my head. But once a make shift alarm hit midnight, everyone's screams. Made Myriad spit out a giant golden fire ball into the sky. As it exploded shortly afterwards in the atmosphere like a fire work. So this really has been the most confusing yet slightly funny end of the year yet.
