373 EVERYTHING HE TOUCHED, MET THEIR DEMISE
“My name is Aaron, one of the gods of destruction,” Aaron said lightly and took a step closer, but Blue backed away out of instinct, because she didn’t feel safe in his presence, moreover, Chaos was not here.
“What god?” she asked in a low voice, feeling wary about his answer. There were a few gods of destruction that she knew, while the most recent one was Chaos, she had never seen this immortal before.
Aaron then smirked when he saw the fear in her eyes, this was one of the things he loved the most, the peak of being a god of destruction. They feared him.
“Deception,” he replied quietly. “I am the god of deception.”
There were a lot of factors of chaos and calamity in this realm and deception was one of them. You wouldn’t feel it when you were being deceived, but the end result of it was so dire.
Most of the time, chaos happened because of deception and manipulation and now Aaron was there to bring that nightmare.
He was slightly pissed because Chaos didn’t take the order to destroy some village, which rewarded him with public punishment... Wasn’t it shameful for a god of destruction to be so soft like that?
And now, he was determined to see how mad Chaos could be and what would happen if he were to lose his control...
Aaron, as the god of deception, didn’t deliver calamity straightforwardly, but he would move everyone around him in the direction of disaster.
.....
He created war, while he himself would sit back and watch how everything unfolded, that was what the ultimate prize of deception and manipulation.
That was what Aaron wanted in this realm or the other realm.
“Lord Chaos is not here, you can leave now,” Blue said, she took another step back, because she wanted to rush back to the palace. This palace was so big, but no one lived here except for her and Chaos, because he didn’t like other people there.
Aaron clicked his tongue, as if he was annoyed. “I have told you that I came here for you, not for him. I want to meet you.” He then waved his hand to call her, so she could come closer, but of course, she didn’t want to be near him at all. “I came here because I know you did not belong here.”
“I don’t want to see you,” Blue said, but then she gasped in surprise when she watched how fast Aaron moved and in a blink of an eye, he was already standing before her eyes. “Leave, please. Lord Chaos will be so angry if he knows you are here.”
She didn’t know that for sure, but based on their last encounter, Chaos didn’t seem to like him at all. He treated him like a nuisance.
“That’s exactly what I want,” Aaron sighed gratefully. “I would love to see how angry he could be if I took something that belonged to him. What is your name? What name did he give to you?”
“I chose my own name,” Blue said. She tried to free herself from his grip, but he was too strong for a nymph like her.
His grip on her face was very hurt, as if he could snap her face into two, which was most likely possible for him to do in the blink of an eye.
“What is your name then?” Aaron asked her. He looked her dead in the eyes, trying to see all the memories in her mind and Blue felt like there was someone intruding her head, as if someone was reading all of your thoughts, including the ones that you didn’t want anyone to see.
There were some gods that could read minds like this, including the moon goddess, but she would always ask for her permission and it didn’t feel so uncomfortable like this. The feeling was akin to a stranger seeing you naked.
“Interesting...” Aaron mumbled after he read all of her memories. “I didn’t know that Chaos was that weak... interesting... so, your name is Blue?”
Aaron released the little nymph, as she fell to the ground, because her entire body became so weak, she couldn’t support herself. She gasped for air, as she was having difficulty breathing.
“Your name is Blue, because you love the color of his eyes?” Aaron muttered under his breath. “What a disaster for you to fall for someone like him? But then, what a pity for the supposedly most feared god to give his attention to you.”
Blue tried to stand up, but before that, Aaron kindly helped her up, yet he held her upper arm a little bit tighter, until she grimaced in pain.
“You should know that everything that he touches will meet its demise.”
=======================
The first thing that Chaos realized when he returned was how dull this place was, everything was bleak, there was no sight of light, the flowers had withered and fell to the ground. Nothing was the same as the last time he left it.
He stood there for a while, because he was trying to grasp this change, since this was not what he imagined to see the moment he returned.
This place looked even worse than before Blue was here.
Chaos then extended his hand to touch a withered petal, but it turned into dust. There was no way this would happen if Blue was here.
Therefore, where was she now?
Chaos didn’t say anything, but he walked out to the front yard and saw how the beautiful garden that Blue loved had turned into a dirty swamp.
He skimmed the whole garden, but when he couldn’t find any sign of her, he walked toward her bedroom, his steps quickening, as he disappeared mid way and appeared again inside her room that had been empty for a long time.
Yet, he saw someone there, whose presence could make everything that happened here make sense.
“Long time no see, Chaos.”
