~A Final Choice~ (Skephalo)

Chapter 11: Surprise encounter

~Bad's pov~

How long have I been walking...? Probably a couple hours by now, I'm almost there.

I decided to get an early start to the border, using a warp crystal to get near enough that it would only be a few hours walk before I arrived.

In this time, I let my thoughts overwhelm me.

Skeppy is the best thing that has ever happened to me in the Nether. But there is still so much he doesn't know, and doesn't understand...

Like the secret I've been keeping about myself... About me being a Gatekeeper of Death...

That's the only reason Niki and I have special permission to go to the borders.

The gods don't even go to the borders! 

At least not very often...

Ah... I just want to scream sometimes. Life was so lonely, and I overthink things! It just sucks sometimes.

I facepalm, and then refocus on the barren terrain in front of me, coming across the obscuring smoke that marked the border of the Nether

As I approach a the great cloud of fog that is the edge of the border, I begin to hear a voice speaking in the angelic tongue.

But it wasn't Niki's soft, sweet voice, that was tainted with a human-ish accent. 

The voice sounded almost demonic, a voice I hadn't heard...

In a really long time...

I pass through the fog, and glance between the two figures before me.

The two figures I expected, with the small clue from the demonic voice.

Niki was here, which is a relief, but she looked uncomfortable, having her head bowed and her eyes closed.

Her fluffy, white wings curled around her as the second being... one who towered over both Niki and I, made a backhanded remark in an aggressive tone. A figure who was surrounded by a ring of greenish eye-like orbs, and was wearing a floor length green cloak that hid his entire body... aside from his halos that formed an X shape, and his damaged, white mask with his signature XD pattern.

"Dream..." I mumble, bowing my head with respect.

Oh my goodness... What is the god of chaos doing here...?

"Ah... so you finally decided to show up?" He scoffed as he glared down at me, causing me to shift uncomfortably, while my tail curled around my legs.

He... definitely isn't my favorite god...

"What do you need?" I ask as I look up at him. He wouldn't, ever, come here unless he needed something from me. I don't believe it.

After all, I can't get into heaven.

But still... it's incredibly odd that he would be the one to come here... he's not the god I serve...

"Cutting right to the chase, huh...? I don't know about that, we barely greeted each other, how are you?"

When I don't answer his mocking statement, he drops the act entirely.

"Alright, since you're so eager to know," He starts, "The appears to have been a mistake. I'm sure you know there is an innocent human in your world. He isn't meant to be there."

I blink a few times, not fully comprehending what the giant god may be suggesting.

Again, he seems to think I took too long, so he continued again, but this time he seemed to be disgusted in my presence.
