ARC: Seeds of Calamity CHAPTER OF THE BEGINNING - X - Goodbye, Heaven
Everything was darkness and my heart felt light.It felt as though I was just a child, wrapped in a comfy blanket, ready to fall asleep in my mom’s arms.Oh, right... My mom wasn’t there anymore... I was...Was I dead?I never thought that death would be this comfortable, this welcoming.“Not... Waking up... Vital signs... Okay...”Voices... I... My mind was blurred, numb. I felt dizzy, but little by little, my senses came back to me, and even though there was only darkness around me, I was able to hear some things.Voices all around, in an indistinct chatter, where I could only discern a few words.My body felt so heavy and tired.“Where...” I tried to ask, but my voice sounded like a mumbling, muffled as if my mouth was full of cotton.“Don’t speak, child. Everything is okay now. Just try to open your eyes.”To... Open my eyes?I tried to do as

It took approximately three hours for us to circle the whole western area of the floating city of Asgard, just so that we could get near the observatory where Odin told me we would find Heimdall. In the meantime, he told me how strange it was, that even when I was able to see through world-lines, there were still some completely out of my sight. However, it wasn’t surprising at all, as the all-father told me later. Because as they already foresaw here in Asgard, what Metatron did in Becca’s world-line, turned the entirety of creation against itself, making the whole world-line into a gigantic anomaly. And with that anomaly, he would be able to hide from unwanted eyes. Eyes that had mouths, and would surely tell their masters of the scribe’s plan, forcing their masters to move for a war that the scribe of God hims
ARC: Seeds of Calamity CHAPTER OF THE BEGINNING - XII - Goodbye, Heaven (Three)
The view of the floating city was mesmerising. So much so, that I could hardly pay attention to Odin’s speech about multiverses, world-lines, and how my world-line was an anomaly by being a universe by itself.Of course, knowing all this made my focus change rapidly to what the all-father had to say. And it also brought me a bit back to reality.I still had a mission.And I still didn’t know a single thing about it. Which was a little disconcerting, because no matter where I went, whether it was another world-line or even another universe... Other beings seemed to know exactly what I was there for.And even if not, there were always bits and pieces of information that would lead me to the right path on accomplishing it.Even though I had no idea on how much time I still had left.When Odin was finally finished with

***Becca's POV***Why was my voice resounding in my own head every time that Yaweh spoke? What did He mean by remembering the archangel's image and replicating them to help Him fight Tehom?Why was there always more question marks than exclamation points when I tried to find an answer about all this mess?I felt sinking deeper and deeper in confusion as the scenes unfolded before me. It could only be some kind of full-dive technology or something of the sorts, because there could be no way that... There was no way that I could be saying those words, feeling those emotions.There was no way that I could be experiencing what Yahweh Himself experienced at the moment of the very beginning of everything.At all.So I distanced myself, just enough for me to keep my sanity. Just enough for me to be able to analyse what was going on around me, in my Father's memories.And as the whole battle against Tehom unfolded, I came to realise the full brunt of how powerful the enemy I was figuring a

The sun rose in the most beautiful tones colours, painting the clouds in a mesmerising hue of reddish pink. The blue of the sky was almost watercolour with an impossible yellowish orange, and the sun held its magnificent crown of pinkish red, blessing the new day with the warmth of a new cicle of possibilities.Thor and I stood at the gazebo, looking upwards instead of tilting ourheads towards the end of the world. Took me a few hours for my body to finallyreconcile with my mind, and accept that I wasn't going to die, so I could getup and stand, without any fear of falling over the rail again."You know, I've lived my entire life here in Asgard," Thorsaid, his dark-blue, sober

“But first...” Jake said after the hug started feeling a bit awkward. “I think the both of us have some things that need to be done, right?”I raised my eyebrow, waiting for an explanation, so Jake went on.“Well, it’s only been one night since you figured out our way forward in this... Situation, but Thor told me a few things that I think you should know as well...”***Jake’s POV***When I talked with Thor, I noticed that the big thunder dude was actually quite a nice... Person? Anyway, we spent the whole night talking about Asgard and my journey, which actually meant Becca’s journey too.What I didn't know, though, was that we were going to need some extra help."First of all," Thor started, "midgardians have an incredibly fragile constitution, which means that if you want to help her, then you 'must' become stronger.""How do you know about my choice, when you weren't even there when she told me I'd have to make it, to begin with?"Thor shrugged and answered."It is not as if I w

***Thor's POVTen years later***It was hard at first. Though they were eager to learn, having different brains and cultures made them too stagnant and rough to shape.However, as the lessons went on and on, they became quite adapted to the ways of the Asgardians, having learned many things.But as everything comes to an end one day, the day when I had to say goodbye to Becca and Jake arrived like a thunderous storm rocking the skies.We broke our fast and went to the very last session of their training, which consisted of one last fight that would tell if they were able to carry on with their mission, or if they were not to succeed. The only problem was that if I was to choose, I would keep them training for ten years more, because they still lacked the knowledge in some areas of our practice.I was worried that they would end up facing some foes whom they would have to beat in a game that was not of their knowledge. On the other hand, I knew them and trusted them, so when the time

***Jake’s POV***I always thought that my life would be a pretty regular one.Living with my parents until I got a job, moving out, helping them raise my sister Thess, growing old and up on my career.That would be pretty much it.I'd die a normal death, and maybe I would go to Heaven, along with Bert. And then we would spend the rest of eternity doing whatever we'd get to do up there.I never thought that I would end up being such a big deal in the fate of the universe. Never imagined I would end up meeting an angel, nor have I ever thought that I would end up knowing so many secrets about life, the universe, and all else.But here I am, walking side by side with Becca towards our quarters, to get ready for the big meeting.Going all in for knowing what the Fates expected us to do, in order to save not only them, but the whole reality as we know it."Are you nervous?" Becca asked, sounding a bit ironic.Which was quite understandable, because ever since we spent so much more time t

They talked and dined, laughed and shared moments of silence, and night flew by like a train heading towards its final destination.Aurora was allowed to stay with them for as long as she could stay awake, and surprisingly, she stood there, playing with everyone who wanted. Listening to their stories, drinking juice and pretending to fight with Bert, Jake and Uriel, who still didn’t get used to her features.From time to time, Uriel would go outside, followed by Don.She would cry in Don's arms, remembering the times she spent with Becca, and how it would never come to happen again.“Love...” Don would say. “Do you remember when Becca last said her goodbyes to us?”“What about it?” Ur

Heavy rain started pouring all over the world as Becca spoke, an ominous feeling drenching the hearts of all who heard her.I didn’t put you in here for this.I didn’t create you so that you could surrender to your weakness.I created you to be.Like Me.As she spoke, they felt ashamed of their own weakness, of their will to run and to be guided by anything that could exempt them from the burden of choosing.Becca wanted in her deepest part, to decimate them. She felt angry, disappointed at them. But it was just expected, because She had made them like that, hoping that they could overcome their weaknesses. That they could be able to hold themselves accountable for their own deeds.So she breathed deeply, dismissing her human emotions for the first time since forever.In a snap of her fingers, the storm clouds dissipated, and with it the blood that reddened the earth, and the bodi

Uriel glowed like a bursting star.Her muscles tensed like bow strings, as her whole essence forced itself to assimilate and purify the energy from the Crawling Chaos’ blast.Somehow, the creature’s energy was very similar to that of a nuclear weapon, and as quickly as Uriel noticed it, she jumped under the highlights, stealing the show.However, the energy was so dense, so tainted, that her only choice was to focus everything she had on purifying it during the whole absorption process.A single mistake, if her determination and focus wavered even if ever so slightly, and the Scorching Empress would be no more.Time seemed like slowing down as Uriel put all of her into that task, and little by little, the blast diminished in intensity and size.Until the entirety of the attack ceased for good.“Is that all you got?” Uriel asked with a taunting smirk on her lips.The heinous creature couldn&

Outside the church, Bert’s group fought with their lives on the line, with all they had, in order to buy as much time as they could so that Elleanore and Abby could retrieve whatever it was that could grant them their powers back.So they fought, got wounded, bled, fell, got back up again, and resisted as hard as they could.However, Mathew and the others weren’t doing as well as they wanted to.Because their enemies weren’t ordinary humans, but loyal servants to the Crawling Chaos. Demons once killed during the Forgotten War, but brought back to life by the unstoppable force of evil and destruction that was the Crawling Chaos.It made things way harder to the group than they ever planned for.They had broken limbs, deep cuts, and unimaginably painful wounds. But still they resisted, having even taken down some of their enemies.It seemed that, somehow, their bodies still held some of the former strength they held back in t

They weren’t excited.If anything, they were afraid for their own lives. For their own integrity.It was too high a stake to even dare conceive failing.However, it was also a moment where if they succeeded, history would be corrected, things would go back to how they used to be, friends would be reunited.Evil would be put back to where it belonged.Bert planned, the others gave their opinions when they thought some of it was incoherent, or simply pure blatant nonsense.Days passed by before their plan was completely formed and they were well equipped enough to dare leave Bert’s place, but eventually the time came, and despite the fear they felt, they moved with the sense of purpose.They moved with the will to finish it once and for all.As soon as they set foot outside, they understood the real danger they were walking into.The daylight had faded to a level that even during the

Immediately after Abigail saying that, a crippling headache hit everyone, except for Elleanore and Abby, sending everyone to the floor, while Uri’s voice, in that seductive and unnatural way, spoke in their heads.Do not even think of coming up with a plan or anything like that, my little rats... Didn’t I tell you that I was going to play cat and mouse with you?Their heads felt as though they were about to explode, so intense Uri’s power inside their heads was, but she kept speaking.Inside the maze, I was shackled by that filthy young man’s power. But now that I am free, and that I have the most suitable vessel, I am not only going to follow my mother’s will, but I will also enjoy myself, watching you all slowly wither as you die one after the other...Elleanore and Abby couldn’t hear what was happening inside the group’s heads, but mother and daughter were fine, so they came right at the group

It was hard for Bert and Cam to tell Mathew and Jake that they were basically alone in this now, since Uri disappeared, Don went after her, and Elleanore had resigned herself and Abigail from the fight. It was even worse after Jonah told him what they had to face, despite not even concretely knowing what were their strengths against all odds. They felt as if they were walking in the middle of a crossfire, blindfolded, with their hands tied behind their backs. And while they were at it, researching, looking for gods, searching for more answers, the world kept changing. In the course of the months that followed their first reunion to discuss about the dream, that now seemed to them to have taken place years ago, the world had changed. Weeks went by with earthquakes reshaping whole areas throughout the world, typhoons devastating small towns, crimes happening much more frequently, atop of many more disasters happening all around. And along with that, a new pillar of power was rising

As Jonah approached the entrance of the maze, he took some time to take in everything in his surroundings.Strangely, he didn’t feel familiar with the large desert that unfolded around him. Jonah remembered all about the place as soon as death took a hold of his body, and he wasn’t sure if the domain of Death, his old domain, had always been so bright.It looked as though daylight had been poured over the vastness of the deserted plains, with only the giant maze showing in the centre of everything.Something felt fishy, and even though Jonah felt confident in walking through the land, he also felt as if something was out there, watching him.But when he felt it, his attenti

Just as Jonah had mentioned, the work to build the electric chair took less than three days. That was because finding a water that was pure enough to suit the unicorn boy’s needs was hard enough.But sooner than they expected, the project was completely done.Since Elleanore didn’t want Abby to see the whole experiment taking place, so she strongly recommended him and Cam that they should take the project somewhere else, or else she would, and they wouldn’t like it.After all, she might even be part of that craziness, but she still put her daughter above all else.And Elleanore wouldn’t allow such things near her Abby, not even if her daughter was a goddess or anything of the sorts.Abigail was still Elleanore’s baby, in the end.However, even if Elleanore didn’t want Abby to see what was going to happen next, Elleanore herself went to Bert’s house, along with Cam, Jonah, and Jake, whil
