Chapter 18: A Needed Talk
=== with Lust ===
"What do you mean there's nothing in here! There are clearly words!"
"No there isn't Lust"
"you must be mistaken! I clearly see words on this!"
Reaper paused as he absorbed the information. The only book he knew that shared information with certain people was ... the Book of Death. He ... had a theory in his mind. No moral or immoral can read and see the text written in it, it was only available to the god of death. But... perhaps...the thick book with a leather cover appeared in Reaper's hands as he opened it to the latest page. For some strange reason, ever since the batch of AUs that included Lusttale were created. The book had stopped working. No more names were recorded in the book and ever changing times had started to appear. It was strange when the new main original AU had appeared. It was the first. The first in the last 15 centuries. It was strange. Everyone had suspected that the latest main was the last. Apparently, they were wrong.
The question is... why did Lusttale exist? It was a horrible AU yet... it was so mysterious. Every main au had a reason to exist... except for Lusttale. Not once had a name from Lusttale appeared in the book of deaths. Everytime when a monster from Lusttale died... they just glitched out of existence until the next reset. All... except Lust.
Lust died but never glitches out. Lust died but never appeared in the book of Deaths. Lust just... disappeared into nothing. So here he was. Testing out his theory.
"Is... there anything in this book?" Reaper asked while holding up the book of deaths showing the latest glitched page. Reaper could never make out what the scrambled words meant. The words that were glitched and impossible to read even though the book was meant to belong to him.
"Uhhh..." Lust stuttered as he raised his non-existence eyebrow at the book as his eyes seemed to follow the unreadable lines.
"Yeah" Lust finally said as he looked over at Reaper with confusion melted over his skull. Reaper almost doubled over in shock as his skull became pale. Yes this was a test to prove a theory but he didn't actually think it would work, Lust could read it ... and Reaper cannot.
"Are you sure?! Is it proper words?! Not scrambled letters?!" Reaper shouted as his panic rose repeatedly. "Umm.... yes." Lust replies with sweat rolling down his skull. Why was Reaper acting this way?
Reaper seemed to think for a bit before he sighed. "Whatever. Just read me whatever is in your book." He huffed out as his eyes gazed at the wall behind Lust as if he was avoiding his eyes. Lust tilted his head in confusion before sighing and flipped the page.
"At the beginning. There was nothing. No light, no god. No false 'creator-"
"FALSE CREATOR?! WHAT TH-"
Lust glared at Reaper with anger that he hasn't felt before... "let me finish." He hissed as he continued with the book.
" the only thing present were the deities... the one who created every molecule of everything. They lived in a peaceful land named 'The Realm' and were gifted with powers and abilities that could exceed those of any god.-"
Lust could hear Reaper gritting his teeth. It was rather obvious that Reaper was angered.
"The most well known of these deities were Gaia, Fate and Destiny.
Gaia was known as the deity of life and positivity, her counterpart being Crow the deity of death, Void and negativity. She was kind and caring and was friends with many of her fellow deities.
Gaia was known for her selfless deeds as she didn't care for herself at all, instead, she would risk her life for even the lowest of the people that she has created. She knew of the balance and knows of the boundaries of the voids that held the world together. Crow and Gaia were not enemies. Instead, they were like siblings. Siblings that were not related biologically. Her favorite colour was green.
Destiny is the deity of Destinys. Her counterpart is her sister, Fate. She had a close relationship with Gaia as they were friends, however, she was not as close to Gaia as Merciful was close to Gaia for they were best of friends. Destiny is no saint but she knew what she should and should not do, this includes saving the mysterious destroyer who no deity had created. However, she never had the chance to before he had disappeared into the hands of the void. Her favorite colour is Yellow."
"The mysterious Destroyer?" Reaper asked as his eye lights reread that particular line, "that sounds a bit like Error doesn't it?". Lust shivered as he recalled the moment when Error had fallen into the portal that led to the dark void. "Yeah, the description of falling into the void is the same as well...". The two shared a look at each other before they went back to the enormous book.
" Fate is the deity of Fates. Her counterpart is her sister, Destiny. Fate is the head of the Realm and holds power over every Deity that resides in it, including her sister. At first, there was a council. Within the council was Fate, Destiny, Merciful, Merciless, Gaia, Kindness and their leader. Myriad the deity of Magic. Everything was peaceful until Myriad had chosen to visit his old AU. ASToM... Myriad never returned. A large amount of deities thought that something had happened while others, like Fate. Spread rumours that he had betrayed the other deities. Because of Fate's high status, many believed her and soon...Myriad was near forgotten. The only ones that remembered him were the deities that lived outside of the Realm. For example, Ancient. Now that the council was leaderless...they were weak, so. They found a new leader, Kindness.
Kindness was a lower deity but her magic power was strong and she was kind. Kindness led the realm for one eon before she had disappeared without a trace. Fate had been devastated because Kindness had been her friend, however, Fate had then expected to be the next chosen leader. The judgement siblings were the ones who was responsible for choosing the next leader.... they chose Gaia. The creator of Dreamtale and mother of Dream and Nightmare. Gaia led the realm just like how Kindness did. Two eons later when Gaia had been hanging out with Fate and Merciful... Fate and Merciful came back to the realm without Gaia and said that she had been killed. Before Merciful had been able to say who had killed her, Fate had accused him which led to the others believing her once again. Since no one in the realm trusted the Judgement siblings anymore, they invited Deity Sans from Fates Multiverse to be the judge. A few days later, Merciful was banished from the realm and his spirit was left in the hands of Fate. He was never seen again.
Merciful brother, Merciless went missing a few days later. Just before Fate had been able to ask him to join her side... the council was ripped apart and Fate was placed at the top, superior to the rest. The sky of the Realm was no longer blue but always a dark red and many deities had gone missing. Not long later, half of the stable that held every dimension, megaverse, multiverse, and the realm, had been stolen. The other half had been saved by the guardian of the stable. However, without the main half of the stable, balance in every dimension was tipped as chaos spread which created the plague. Moments later, a whole multiverse had disappeared in a vortex of black and Fate had returned back to the realm with a smirk and with half her magic gone. Five eons later, 'Invasion of the Inky' took place before the other half of the stable was finally back in Fate hands with it's memory wiped."
Reaper and Lust both and confused faces. "What... is Invasion of the Inky?" Lust asked Reaper. Reaper shrugged before he suddenly froze. "It's Ink. Inks coming!" He shouted in panic as he tried to find a place to hide. "Why are you panicking?" Lust yelled as he avoided the terrified Reaper. "Ink was the one that locked me in the medic room!"
=== with Error ===
Error sighed as he sat on the hammock woven by his blue strings. Error knew that he was free from Fate's chains yet she was going to get him back somehow, he could feel it. Like a seed of evil waiting to sprout as others fed it with no idea what it truly was.
"Mister Error..."
Error turned around to see Gradient who had woken up from sleeping. "I-I have school now..." . The meaning of school was foreign to Error but, for some reason knew how to respond. "YoUr baCkpAcK iS oVer thErE aLonG wiTh eVeRyThinG iN iT. I'M soRRy bUt thE baG waS bROkEn sO I rEmAdE iT." Error explained while pointed at a blue bag that flowed with power, magic and what seemed to be a calming aura.
Error saw the tears that started to form by the smallest eye sockets as he mentally panicked. What did he do wrong?!
"T-Thank you!" Gradient cried as he ran over to hug Error. He didn't see Error flinch or start to glitch more, he just wanted to thank his saviour. No one at school, home or public every helped him. Infact, he's quite sure that everyone hates him. It was a common fact.
Error smiled as he watched the child untangle himself from Error and leave with his backpack. Not only has Error helped a sad soul but he will protect it. That's right. The strings were made so that if Gradient was ever hurt, it would notify Error and assist Gradient in some way that would either heal him or save him.
This was all he could do for Gradient until the child fully accepts his help... but he didn't know that it was soon... very soon.
=== somewhere I'm ASToMTR===
A figure sat there, the wind howling behind him.
He didn't know why but...there was something blocking him from leaving.... something blocking him from returning to the realm. He could feel that something has happened while he was trapped... time moved differently in different AU's, he had no idea how long it has been.
The sound of footsteps could be heard as they suddenly stopped. "M-Myriad?" The skeleton dragon asked as she stopped from her stroll. "I-is it really you?". Myriad turned around to see his 'friend'. Ancient. "Ancient-!" Suddenly, Myriad was pounced on.
In place of where Ancient was, was a skeleton girl was long white transparent hair and empty eye sockets. She still had her horns, tail and wings but now she was the same size as Myriad. "I missed you...." Ancient cried as she leaned her head on Myriads shoulder. At first, he had flinched but soon. He melted into the hug. It wasn't often that he would suddenly wake up and suddenly be thrown into a hug by the person (or creature) that he had feelings for. "Ancient.... what happened? Where... is Kindness?" He asked as he wondered where his sister like friend was. The sudden lack of movement from Ancient told him everything.
"Fate killed her."
