376 A FRACTION OF HIS WRATH (3)
The idea of marrying off their only son to the sleeping nymph sounded insane to the king, but the queen was too afraid to anger the god, who had given their son his sight back.
His sight could be taken away from him if they didn’t fulfil their end of the deal with Aaron, moreover, this was his only request.
“What will happen if we break the deal?” the king suggested, he didn’t have the heart to let their son marry this nymph if she didn’t wake up at all. “It has been seventeen years and not even once he appeared before us, he must have forgotten about this.”
“No,” the queen immediately rejected the idea, as she shook her head in fear. “We can’t do that. We can’t bear his wrath!” The queen was freaked out to hear that suggestion again.
In the past, this deal didn’t seem so bad, they could agree without thinking twice, but then as years passed and their son neared the age that they promised, this matter looked so big, bigger than they could imagine.
However, all of a sudden the sky turned dark, as the blaring sound of thunder made the entire tower shake and this made the queen jump in surprise, while the king immediately rushed toward the window to see what was happening.
There, he could see the sky had turned as dark as night, as if the sun had been wiped away and they were left in utter darkness.
The bright sky had turned so bleak.
“Oh, no... I think he heard you... I think he heard what you said earlier...” The queen was almost crying. Her whole body was shaking uncontrollably. She couldn’t stop herself from muttering something under her breath. A sentence like; forgive us, forgive us...
.....
However, what they didn’t know was; it was not the wrath of Aaron, but Chaos’. He came down to this mortal world, enraged and livid. He was angry because the person that belonged to him was being kept hostage in this wretched kingdom.
And now, he had come to destroy everything around him. He would kill everyone who dared to stop him.
“Are you sure you are going to do this?” Hades asked, he looked so calm, leisurely even, a stark contrast to Chaos’ current state. “You know that you will be punished, right?”
Hades stretched his body, as he looked at the poor kingdom. No matter how majestic it was, they wouldn’t be able to stand this kind of wrath from Chaos.
Such poor souls... his palace in the underworld would be so full today if they were trying to stop this god of destruction. He would bring true disaster and pure horror to them.
“Your punishement will not stop at you being tortured in public, though I have to say that, seeing you with your cold expression while being tortured, was not fun at all and was really boring, but I just want you to know about this,” Hades said lightly. “Your punishment would be much dire this time if you wipe them all out.”
Yet, Chaos didn’t listen to him, he didn’t even hear what he said, as anger had long clouded his mind and left him unable to hear anything that Hades had told him.
He walked straight toward the outer gates of the kingdom and when one of the guards stopped him, he sent him flying away, as his poor body collided against the wall, leaving a huge dent there, which instantly killed him.
Meanwhile, the other guards were flabbergasted to see this, two of them came to Chaos with spears in their hands, as weapons, yet before they could get closer to him, they had been burned into dust within seconds.
“CLOSE THE GATES! CLOSE THE GATES!” all the guards shouted the same thing to one another, as they tried to save the kingdom from whoever this immortal creature was.
Who was he?! And why did he want to destroy this place?
They had the same question in their heads, until one of the guards recognized Chaos and let the others know about this.
“HE IS A GOD OF DESTRUCTION! HE IS CHAOS!” They immediately relayed this information to the palace to inform the king and queen.
They would be doomed, if they had to deal with Chaos.
“CLOSE THE GATES! CLOSE THE GATES!” However, they needed to do whatever they could do to stall him, though they didn’t know what Chaos’ intention was.
Yet, that was a bad idea, since it only angered him even more.
And the fact there was nothing that could stop him, made them look so pathetic in their attempt, as they tried to hide behind the main gates, yet they knew this wouldn’t be able to hold back Chaos.
“Open the gates and clear the path,” Chaos said. He didn’t say it out loud, but his voice rang in their ears, as if Chaos was speaking right next to them, which made them shiver involuntarily.
Those poor souls were so scared, yet they were bound to their duty to protect the kingdom, thus they stood their ground.
“Open it and clear the way.”
Once again, Chaos’ voice rang in their ears, yet after two minutes of doing nothing to follow his order, Chaos continued to walk and as he walked closer to the main gates, the barrier collapsed, killing hundreds of people, who were standing on top of it or around it.
On the other hand, Chaos walked steadily toward the palace, the ruins of the gates turned into dust as he stepped forward, as if clearing the path for him.
He looked aloof and dangerous, and regardless who tried to come closer to him, they would meet their demise.
He brought chaos with him, but right now, he did it on purpose, he could care less about them, as he only had one thing in mind.
The very thing they held captive without even knowing it.
