A Requiem For A Dead Universe - Chapter 12

 

Chloe “I was planning on doing those things because I really feel that if we didn’t do it I would really lose you.”

Micheal “I was serious when I said I’ll forget my feelings, but it doesn’t mean I’d be able to make it disappear in one go. I was preparing to suffer for like 5 years until I finally accept it but things happened.”

Chloe “I was really planning on suddenly going above you and start kissing until you give in to me so that you will take full responsibility, even if you stopped loving me I’ll be making you do it.”

Micheal “Why? When did you felt that you need to make me do it with you?”

Chloe “When I started to hear how you are, from Christina, the way she tell things are a bit detailed so I started wandering.”

Micheal “Can you elaborate? I mean you heard from someone that we had sex then you fall in love with me after hearing the detail?”

Chloe “Of course I didn’t fall in love with your pervert actions, I suddenly became interested at your actions. How you treat her whenever you go on a date, how you talked about her in front of others and such. I didn’t focus on the sex part, but the parts where she says you really tried to make it better for her. It sounded like you treated sex as a form of love and so I understood that back then you just wanted to love but got confused on how to express it.”

Micheal “That’s, that’s kind of right. I just realized that a while ago on the roof.”

Chloe “That’s when I started bugging you, I always wanted to say that what you’re doing is wrong but then you two suddenly broke up.”

Micheal “Yeah, we suddenly became clear that there was really just sex in our relationship anymore. We then suddenly meet again and made up to be friends.”

Chloe “She said that she wasn’t tired of what you do, but both of you were just tying yourselves with each other with a fake relationship just to have sex. Now that she had all the good feelings and happiness she needs, she just wanted to stop and settle herself in the right path.”

Micheal “I still feel guilty though.”

Chloe “She said it’s okay. Even if she wanted to refuse your advances she couldn’t endure the temptation, while she remembered how good it feels.”

Micheal “It’s kind of funny and scary though.”

Chloe “Don’t think I’m like her, I had it with you when I’m sober so I won’t crave for that the same as those frustrated women you had a night with.”

Micheal “I don’t compare you to others but, it’s strange because you had the courage to face that event. It’s like you’re not afraid at all.”

Chloe “It’s because I always hear from others what you do to them so I got ideas on how things will develop. When it comes to gossiping about you they always start with your grades, then go on until it goes to how you are doing things in bed. There was even a rumor that you train with demons to be able to do what you do, there was a rumor that you sacrifice the size if your thing to be good at it that’s why you only do it with virgin and clean people because they are tight for you.”

Micheal “That damn slander again, who spread that rumor anyway?”

Chloe “I just heard it. Well, we got off topic again.”

Micheal “Oh yeah, so when did you start wanting to do it with me?”

Chloe “It’s a long story so don’t laugh okay?”

Micheal “Why would I?”

Chloe “If you laugh I’ll be angry.”

Micheal “Okay.”

Chloe “It’s, when Christina said that you only do it casually. You don’t do it anymore. She said you started doing it with others. Then for some reason my mind had a thought, i-if, yo-you. You know.”

Micheal “Had it with you?”

Chloe “It’s because I’m more beautiful than Christina so, maybe if you somehow got seduced by my beauty. I thought that you would suddenly approach me and,…”

Micheal “What the hell, you really think I will hit on you?”

Chloe “Didn’t we already had sex? Why deny now?”

Micheal “I mean those times I at least treat you as my sister.”

Chloe “Do you? You ignore me like I have a disease so I always thought you don’t treat me as a sister anymore.”

Micheal “Made sense but-…”

Chloe “Shh shh, I will stop if you interrupt me again.”

Micheal “At least give me the right to ask.”

Chloe “Okay. After that time I imagined you trying to seduce me, I imagined on how I’ll reject you, how I’ll say that it’s wrong and how we’re not supposed to be talking about it. Then I will remember my friends words, my friends conversation with their boyfriends, your messages that Christina shown to me. I somehow got swayed by the imaginary you, and then you will start doing the things I hear from them,…. but I always hated myself when I think about that. Then when I hear other people telling stories about you, I sometimes replace them with me, but it’s only sometimes.”

Micheal “Why do I fell like you just kept me violating you in your imagination?”

Chloe “It was because I thought when you do that to others that means you love them. I was missing you so much it made me confused to the point that I resort to thinking those things to ease my mind a bit. And then, it started. I had a sudden thought what if you suddenly said you love me? But I never put that thing in my mind for long because. You wouldn’t even hit on me then how can you love me right?”

Micheal “Reasonable yes.”

Chloe “But I still imagined, you suddenly went to the mansion, I was waiting on the garage like what I usually do. Then you will say how you missed me, I will be angry because you just returned after a long time. Then you will apologize for everything, then you will promise you will change. After that we will spend time together, we will do things like we did when we are kids. Then one day you will be enchanted by my beauty, and then you would do things like peeking and I will catch you. You will beg for forgiveness then you will confess to me. I will refuse but, I will slowly feel love too.”

Micheal “So I became an imaginary pervert brother too?”

Chloe “I said you returned in the mansion not become my brother again.”

Micheal “Okay.”

Chloe “It started on those. Then it become more dramatic where you become my lab partner then we became close then you fall for me. After that it became more and more elaborate. It’s always you confessing your feelings after you fall for my beauty and body. After a while I was listening on how you started to change. How you are starting to, “sink” in the misery you were having. Christina said you often go home either drunk, high or with a women. When you slowly become worse and worse I started thinking of a way to make you return to me for real. I imagined me, saving you. Me arriving at the darkest time of your life to be your light. I imagined that I will help you change, build you up again. I then imagined, you, falling in love because I became your savior. You will fall in love because you finally realized that I care for you even from the start. Then you will change for the better. I will watch you return, then I start falling for you too. I will watch you slowly return to me, you slowly give me importance again, I slowly fall in love because you make me feel whole again. Then we slowly fall in love deeper and became more normal each day. Then I start imagining more and more thing about how you fall for me and how I fall for you each time you improve.”

Micheal “So in your imagination I, become what I am now?”

Chloe “At that time, I was starting to feel the need to help you, but, I feel pain, because how can I arrive at your life to be your savior when you don’t have a door? I observed you, if you’re not in class, you’re in parties. If you’re not in parties you’re on illegal dens. Then if somehow I finally meet you how can I be able to approach you in the first place? We can’t even talk normally in phone then how can I suddenly make you change? Then you became worse and worse than before, people started rumors about your night life, about your drugs and about the machines. They started slandering, cursing and humiliating you behind your back. All I can do was to hear them out and act like I don’t care but, but in my mind I defended you. In my mind I defended you and you noticed it, you thanked me and talked to me and we became close. But in reality I was not even able to speak. I felt helpless, I felt so down but I heard you won the machinist fare. I knew you can still be better than what everyone says, I know that those people who doubted your grades hid in shame. I felt proud of you but, I realized that I don’t deserve to be proud. I wasn’t able to help you nor even see you win the competition. I wanted to be the person that can be proud of you, to be the person that can stay near you, a person that can defend your name for you. But I wasn’t even able to congratulate you. I feel so sad back then, when Rachel suddenly asked me if I want to go on her party. Then I had my last chance to meet you, then I started to imagine things again. How you will talk with me, we will drink alcohol and then I-I, will confess about how I like you. You will laugh at me, then you will take me at your apartment and we will be doing it. Then we will be together because you will feel guilt for what you did. From that day I always think of ways for us that will lead to going in your apartment, from being drunk to being just talking while sober, from you directly taking me there to you taking me to your apartment after we traveled the whole city. I will always think of every possible way to lead into doing it, I even imagine how it would feel, the things that I’ll do and things that might happen. After doing it I already prepared things to make you feel guilt, then after we do it I’ll change you back to a better person and, you will never leave me again. That’s what I always thought, if you don’t seduce me I’ll seduce you, after sex then we love each other.”

Micheal “To be honest I want to hug you for what you just confessed to me but I am also having goosebumps-….”

Chloe “Shut up I’m not finished. Then, suddenly Grandfather said that I will need to cross the astral to get the blessing because I always unconsciously use crystallization and I need the blessing to be stable. If I delay it too much then it my implicate my future improvements. I was very, very afraid that day, I will go away suddenly. I will be going without even doing anything I wanted to do, imagined to do. That was why I always wanted to talk to you, I’ll make you angry then I’ll beg for forgiveness then I’ll say I’ll do anything then you’ll ask for sex. But that didn’t happen so I thought I’ll just go into you and talk but every time I get near you I suddenly back out. Then grand father asked me a favor so I immediately accepted it to have a talk with you. My plan of making you angry then I beg for forgiveness returned to me but, you always stop me from saying it. Whenever I try to ask you if you want me in exchange of returning you will make an excuse before I even had the chance to ask. Then I remember the party, I planned that I’ll confess that I love you but suddenly Rachel said we can’t borrow her room so I decided to just say it in front of many people if you don’t accept then I’ll beg you to go home with me. But this happened.”

Micheal “Then um, on the road,…”

Chloe “When we left the party I was always hinting about doing it the whole time but you always don’t understand it.”

Micheal “What? those accusations of being a sex maniac? That’s not hinting.”

Chloe “Why? When I asked you if you want me, you should’ve just said yes. I even thought it was destiny when we arrived at that motel. I was only waiting you to ask me but, I was so nervous I don’t know what to do back then. I was always ready in my mind but when we got so near with the plot I imagined it’s either you ruin things or I ruin it. Back then the only thing in my mind was, if we don’t had sex then I won’t have you.”

Micheal “But you still had me in the end right? We didn’t had to have sex that time.”

Chloe “I wanted to do what I imagined but you suddenly confessed to me. I was in pain, great pain, because it felt like you lied to me. It felt like all the things that I tried to do, the things I imagined was all for nothing. I became so desperate for your attention and love because you love me? Don’t you know how it hurts to find that out? And then you said you will forget it, I was trying to do many things to make you fall for me but in reality you already had feelings for me and you already started moving on. Then I just tried to accept things, I tried to just forget it too but. I was hurt, I feel that reality made fun of me because I always imagine things. I don’t know how to act like I’m not hurt, that’s why I decided to still try it. I tried bringing you in your apartment but you suddenly thought dirty of me, it made me angry and have second thoughts but my heart still wanted to try so I still brought us to your apartment. Then I did the plan I had in the past. I was already giving myself to you but you still refused so I tried seducing you more but you only tried touching me. Did you know I feel so much pain inside I can’t even cry because I thought you already lost interest in me. Then you told about that Dianne, I fall even deeper in despair so I just kissed you and tried asking if you will love me again, but then you even hurt me more. So I just had sex with you so I can make you feel guilty later but, I finally understand that you didn’t lose your interest. I found out that you were just holding back. I was happy and when we did it, I realized that I don’t want to return home with you. I realized that I just want to remain like this, making the things I imagined true. It feels great that I finally have you but it’s not enough, I needed to still change you so that I won’t have to do it in the future. Once I returned from the astral, I want to spend time with you doing the things I imagined, but now I only want you to be better. I want to see you not return to who you are, but become more. I realized that I don’t want my brother 4 years ago, I want to see my boyfriend after 6 years I was away become my husband years after that. I want to see you become more and more better. So that after I cross I will imagine more things, even more things so that if I return we could do it together. I just realized that, when we had sex I realized way back on the day when I started imagining I love you, I started to really fall.”

Micheal “Sometimes love was like sleeping, huh first we imagined then we really do.”

Chloe “Please, if I go on the astral, please don’t have any other girls okay?”

Micheal “I won’t -…”

Chloe “EPEPEP don’t say anything more that’s enough.”

Micheal “I won’t because I’ll follow you.”

Chloe “You don’t have to worry about me cheating, there is Adrian and Rachel there right?”

Micheal “Let’s make a bet then, If I successfully passed that border you’ll let me decide for one time, only one time.”

Chloe “If you can pass then I’ll let you decide whenever you want the whole day.”

Micheal “Silly girl, don’t blame yourself if you regret what you said.”

Chloe “Why would I regret it?”

Micheal “Why? you don’t trust my capabilities?”

Chloe “Maybe I trust you, maybe not. You’ll find out if you crossed the Astral.”

Micheal “Wear your best underwear then.”

Chloe “(Yawn) I’m sleepy…. aren’t you going to sleep?”

Micheal “I need to go and wait for the minerals to be delivered then I’ll masturbate for a bit before going to sleep.”

Chloe “Ewwwww.”

Micheal “I’m just kidding, what’s with that reaction? You let me mouth to mouth your vagina then let me kiss you isn’t that more worse?”

Chloe “YOU!!”

Micheal “(Chuckles) I’m just kidding, I just want to see your cute face when angry, sorry. I will do some observation on the stones so I’d stay up for a bit late.”

Chloe “I don’t care.”

Micheal “If I feel sleepy around 3 or 4 I’ll cook some breakfast for you and put it in the fridge but, if I slept earlier than that then can you just wake me up after you woke up?”

Chloe “No, after getting those stone you should sleep.”

Micheal “But the more time I spend on it the faster I could progress, that’s more time for you.”

Chloe “No, I already gave you enough when letting you get the stones. It’s our first night sleeping together and you don’t want me to have it properly?”

Micheal “I told you I’ll just get them then put them somewhere for tomorrow.”

Chloe “No that won’t do, entertain me until it arrives so I won’t fall asleep.”

Micheal “Why?”

Chloe “So that I’m sure you’re really going to sleep.”

Micheal “Okay,… how am I gonna entertain you?”

Chloe “Aren’t you good at everything? Be a clown or something.”

Micheal “How about I talk about the things I saw underground, the dangerous people there and also the powers they have?”

Chloe “As long as you don’t say anything disgusting.”

{GOMEZ APARTMENT COMPLEX: ROOF TOP}

On the top of the apartment there is a silhouette of a maiden wearing an armored robe sitting in a posture that’s as if concentrating on her meditation. The maiden suddenly opened her eyes, she looked as if seeing a ghost before she opened a pair of black and white wings and try to fly away. She was able to flap her wings a single time before she suddenly stopped as if time froze around her.

Hel “Uncle I was just reconfirming what I felt.”

Heimdall “Shh.”

The stout figure suddenly appeared and holding his finger in front of his lips, he muttered incomprehensible words and waved his hands. The figure of the man and the winged maiden vanished where they are. Moments later a figure of a beast with multiple barbed tentacles and multiple eyes appeared while carrying something that what appears to be container of some sort, when it arrive above the rooftop it slowly descended. It then turned into an old man in a receptionist attire in an instant as if the previous appearance was a lie. He then begun counting the amount of container, after confirming the number of container he then proceed counting the content inside. When he finished checking the items he then walked at the door of the stairs and pressed the doorbell, the door opened and the receptionist old man was greeted by two people before one figure descended the stair while the other remained. They were about to get the containers but the young man that was about to head to the pile of containers stop near the location of the frozen winged maiden. He then looked at the maidens location as if pondering something. He walked near the location of the maiden before speaking.

Micheal “Uncle John, do you think there’s something strange here?”

Uncle John “Might I inquire how strange does sir feel?”

Micheal “I don’t know, it’s like there’s something alive here.”

Uncle John “If sir ask for what I see, I can only see sir’s body and as for how I feel I can only feel sirs presence.”

The young man then spread his hands as if trying to grasp something but can not feel anything, he then moved in further while moving his hand up and down as if he was dancing. Finally he tried sniffing the location and he finally had something.

Micheal “Uncle John, I smell something here than I smelled for some time. It smells like it’s something funny.”

Uncle John “I believe it maybe an excrement of an animal that wasn’t properly cleaned by maintenance droids.”

Micheal “No, it, its smell like a woman’s be- you know what, maybe it’s just my imagination.”

Uncle John “If sir would like to confirm the items here is the list.”

Micheal “How did you brought those anyway?”

Uncle John “I assumed a form called, Srakertu or, Something what Earthlings called Beyonder.”

Micheal “Then how did Chloe said you had a hover? I don’t see any.”

Uncle John “I would like to remind sir that I had the disguise crystal.”

Micheal “Can I have one of those?”

Uncle John “I would like sir to refrain from using things you can’t see.”

Micheal “Oh yeah right.”

After their conversation the old receptionist and the young man transferred the boxes inside the apartment. After finishing the last box 3 people went to the rooftop, one suddenly turned into a huge beast with a large eye and multiple small ones, crystalline body accompanied by tentacles with protruding barbs. The young man frowned at the young woman who was waving her hand at the departing beast.

Micheal “Um, Loe, What was the color of the hover?”

Chloe “Glossy black, why? Do you want to repaint yours? Let’s copy the crystal designs too.”

Micheal “No, I’m just asking but did you see the registration number?”

Chloe “Now that I think about it, I wasn’t able to see any.”

Micheal “I see, that was the problem.”

Chloe “Let’s go back now.”

After the two figure descended the stair, two silhouette appeared on the roof top. When the winged maiden was released from her confines she hurriedly tried to head to the direction of the stairs before a stout armored man suddenly appeared in front of her. The winged maiden was holding two pieces of spike on each hand and heaving air as if she was going on a battle. The stout man stared at her then grabbed a sword out of nowhere. When the winged lady saw him wielding the sword, as if seeing a ghost she suddenly shuddered and retrieved back her spikes.

Heimdall “Whose fault is it?”

Hel “Mine but-…”

Heimdall “I have told you, do not meddle with mortals.”

Hel “I was just listening to their conversation.”

Heimdall “If the enemies somehow found out that we are paying attention to this mortal. Your actions will not only implicate us, you will also implicate that mortal.”

Hel “Still, why did you let him violate me? He touched me everywhere and then,…. He said my, mine smells funny, I’ll show him what’s funny.”

Heimdall “It is your punishment. Normally I will give one slash for those who endangers mortals but for you that punishment is enough.”

The maiden gritted her teeth and retracted her wings before turning into a dark fog and flew at high speed. After the dark fog vanished the stout man looked at the direction of the stairs. He then gave an awkward forced smile and sweat started to build up on his head. He looked as if he was pondering about something very deeply when he suddenly sigh. He muttered incomprehensible words, the sword in his hand disappeared. He stopped his mutterings then looked at the sky and closed his eyes before taking a very deep breathe as if he is making the last decision of his life. He returned to his mutterings until he grabbed something out of nowhere.

{ASGARD}

In an extremely technologically advanced civilization that is situated on a landmass swimming in the sea of stars stood a high cliff. Atop the high cliff stood a big antique wooden hall, inside various warriors gathered drinking and eating as if participating in a banquet. The lively crowd was celebrating the sudden disappearance of a certain problematic god when silence suddenly filled the room because of a blood lust that could only be emitted by two person. but this feeling instantly enveloped everyone as if it come from the very same place they are in, when suddenly out of nowhere as if the end of the world arrived, huge pillars of lightning ascended heading towards the grand nothingness of the cosmos from the wooden hall. In the middle of the great hall where an old looking man was sitting while holding a bladed cane, he was wearing an armor similar to a garb. He suddenly stood up and raised his hand as if to beckon something when an old looking scepter flew towards his palm. When he grabbed the scepter, assortment of weapons begun to land on each person inside the hall as if they are returning to their rightful owners. When everyone saw the weapons floating above them they all looked as if having a reminiscence, they grabbed each weapons and carefully held them. The weapon had sentences carved on them and each sentence are different for each weapons, the people then traced these carvings while closing their eyes as if feeling each letters it had.

These are the legend weapon. Weapons wielded by the heroes of Valhalla through out their life before and after. The old looking man glance at the empty pedestal that once contain an ornamental horn, and everyone did the same and made an astonished look. They immediately look around the hall and found that the 12 ornamental looking swords hanged in the walls disappeared at the same time that small horn disappeared. Everyone frowned and others gulp as if something bad happened.

{POND OF IMMORTALS: STYX POND}

In a pond where a group of young beautiful and handsome individuals gathered, a lady wearing two piece was laying down on a floater. She had a porcelain like skin and a golden white hair neatly tied atop her head, she was wearing a sunglasses while fidgeting a cellphone looking item. Her mini floating bed washed ashore near a group of individuals chatting, when these individual saw her they immediately looked surprised then one of the females pulled her float beside them and greeted her.

Ariadne “Persy, we haven’t seen you in a while.”

Giltine “I thought there’s a problem happening in underworlds? Last time I delivered souls, there’s quite the line.”

Persephone “(Sigh) Well somehow that young girl, Hel was able to get a million mortal soul and still counting. It was a hustle because the world eaters attacked Anubis side, again. So we lack man power to fight those annoying devils.”

Metis “It’s already the 3rd time in this century, Thoth there might be something that’s drawing them there.”

Thoth “I can’t find anything.”

When the group of people inside the pond started talking about the world eaters a fit young man wearing only a flower themed shorts and flip flop on his feet, suddenly spoke while comfortably laying on a tanning seat beside the pond.

Hermes “I heard some gossips about the world eater being agitated more than 3 hundred years ago.”

Thoth “They are for some reason agitated 392 years ago where they started attacking underworlds.”

Hermes “I also heard something about seed of annihilation, anyone knows that?”

Persephone “It’s that girl Hel’s power. Wait no, that girls power is roots of annihilation.”

Thoth “Anubis had the branch of annihilation.”

Metis “So another death power? But why would world eaters find that?”

When someone was about to say something a normal looking youth appeared running towards the relaxing figure on the tanning seat and whispered in his ears. His eyes suddenly widened and in an instant his flip flops became winged sandal after yelling.

Hermes “Holy shit, Gjallanhorn?”

The youth was silenced by the reaction of the man.

Thoth “I assume that the blood lust that Heimdall released has some connection, it was felt by one of my clones there.”

Hermes “Haha those bastard fake gods are on it now, it’s been millennia since there’s war. I know that old man one eye and that horny old man of ours are itching to weed some grass.”

Persephone “At last, once the war end then we’ll get new batch of high quality soldiers”

Metis “How many instrument was taken?”

(Hermes’s pigeon) “Te-twelve.”

When the group heard the number everyone lost their smile and frowned. Even the eaves droppers frowned. Hermes suddenly put a cold expression and suddenly step in the air and ran away as if his life depended on it.

{NIRVANA}

A thin young looking man was frowning, he pondered for a while and then stood up. He walked towards a tree, swiped off half of the tree and saw a sword inside. His face turned into a smile that let’s out a sense of comfort before he closed his eyes as if all the good things had already been grasped by his hand but slowly, his smile distort into something more sinister. His muscle increased size, his size more than doubled and grew fangs and horns.

Adibuddha – “12 armaments? If it’s battle of annihilation against those scums then Heimdall wouldn’t use Gjallanhorn. But if battle of annihilation against world eaters then. Messenger! send my regards to Asgard, tell them the Buddhas will adhere to the horn.”

{THE ENDLESS DUNES}

Inside a complex looking golden space ship floating above the sea of golden sand.

Thoth “It is confirmed. So there will be large casualty in the coming war.”

Osiris “If we heed their call when the time comes more of our brothers might die, but those world eaters already attacked us 3 times in this hundred year, if they didn’t sound their war horns we would have sounded ours.”

Thoth “It is still unknown when Heimdall is planning to sound the horn.”

Seth “Tell them that if they sound their horn we will sound ours and ring the 12 bells.”

Osiris “If they wanted to end those world eaters then we must support them with the same will.”

{SANCTUARY OF LIGHT}

[Gabriel.]

Garbriel “Yes my lord?”

[Send an envoy to the high cliffs, tell them we will sound our horns with theirs and play the 12 trumpets the same.]

Gabriel “As you command.”

{ROOT WORLD EARTH: A CRATER NEAR HIMALAYA}

Inside the old shabby house where snow was falling outside. two person Situated in the middle, a muscular youth sitting in front of an old muscular man while eating colorful meals. Once they finished eating they started crossing arms and tried to take down the hand of one another.

Ganesa “So old man, are we sounding our horn too?”

Visnu “With the all the 12 drums too.”

Ganesa “Haha! Let’s warm up then.”

Visnu “Who ever loses receives one punch.”

Ganesa “Heh! ready your face old man.”

{ROOT WORLD POEBI: GOMEZ APARTMENT ROOF TOP}

Heimdall “Being able to smell something godkins couldn’t even feel. No gods are able to do that, unless you’re an End.”
