How The Soothsaying Started

Am I Worthy?

"Can you stop doing that! Please!" Whenever Charles tried to get grumpy, Discord would push him back into the meditative position or scold him. "Take in, Charles, accept your position." Discord finally went to playing with Cerberus. Charles finally could focus. Taking in. He took in the air, the sulfurous, he let it fill him. The ground that was so uncomfortable, he accepted the discomfort and pain. As he concentrated it seemed he could feel the ground, the layers of tunnels, the essence of the soil. Small rocks levitated around him, Charles didn't need to open his eyes to see that."Yes! You did it! Now we have to put you through Hell, literally."

    I can hear her...mother, I know you're here.... you've been watching me haven't you? You've been looking after your precious child.... Unfortunately, I've never been your dearest daughter. The one you love no matter who she was. Told me to be strong, and yet branded me weak. Do you remember that day? The day mother went away... I barely remember. I sat there and watched, yet I do not remember how you left me... Was it that man? Or something else? You're ashamed of me aren't you? Because I don't use my abilities to the fullest extent. Is my name as noble as you said it is? Mila was your name, Rose was grandmother, and Aries was great grandmother. Was I meant to be your greatest achievement? Funny how it works, isn't it? Your daughter should have been strong, feared and yet adored, beautiful, emotionless, is that what they want me to be? Is that the one they must awaken? They said it's someone I used to be...which means that it probably isn't. I mean if you saw me the way I was meant to be, I know you'd be proud. But you were never proud, only disappointed in your wretched daughter. I know you want me to die, you have been waiting for my death. Well... I do too, I wait and wait, and yet I never do.

" By the Goddesses dammit Admin! Wake up!" Snow yelled. It was early in the morning and the group was about to set off, but Admin was asleep again, being an ass."I say we leave him." Nicklaus suggested."No we can't! We need him for... uhh...something." Pointed out Snow"Point is, we've already lost two people; can't lose anymore." Said Kaza"Well who's gonna get him into the caravan?" Lily said."I will," Adam said, "Lucy would get mad at me if I didn't do something for his son."Adam loaded Admin into the caravan and Lily again summoned dragons to carry the caravan."So Adam do you know where Rose is? Or will you keep that a secret too?" Snow asked  with a more than slightly irritated tone."If you truly want to know, it's northeast of here, in an underground castle." Adam responded, "We should get there in a couple of minutes at this pace."The group was planning how to go about this, but the main issue was they didn't know the castle, so they just assigned groups. The groups were Adam and Admin, Nicklaus and Kaza, and Lily and Snow. Admin snickered when he assigned the groups, but not so loud so the the others would hear.Adam said. "We're here."Admin responded confused "But there is no castle, Adam.""If you remember what I said, Admin, I said that it is an underground castle not aboveground.""Oh, whoops, I guess I was busy making groups.""That's a lie, Admin!" Kaza yelled, "You just want Nick and I to be in a group!"Admin smirked, because she was entirely correct.Adam broke the argument. "Well you guys get the fun part. Trying to find an entrance into the castle."Snow said confidently "Actually I know where the entrance is, unfortunately my spirits were confused on where she is. All of the corridors in there look the same!" "Yep the medium is 100% correct." Adam said sassily. "Is there something you don't know?" Kaza was at this point, done."Besides the future, not really. Anyway guys, let's just go into the castle and get your friend."The group moved to a clearing in the woods, where they found a trap door hinged into the earth. "Okay, Admin, you and I will go in first. Remember, perspective is everything. Anything is a canvas."Once they were all down there Snow and Nicklaus tried to find Rose with their powers."It's no use guys. It's like Rose is...everywhere. It also reflects our auras, like a mirrored labyrinth." Nicklaus said confused."It's true and my spirit trail and spirits keep getting lost. They can detect her all around us!" Snow said in agreement.Admin said cockily "Then I guess I did a good thing and assigned groups!"They nodded in agreement and Admin and Adam went straight, Nicklaus and Kaza went right and Snow and Lily went left.

"No!" "What? What am I doing wrong?" "Everything!" "Thanks for the motivation, Spirit of Chaos!"I strutted around the red rock. I couldn't sleep, nor eat, nor drink. Hell was a lot worse than everyone had said it was, if the eternal punishment didn't get to your head, the boredom would.Discord in all his hotness, wait, what? I like- you know what, I'm in Hell, can't get any weirder. So on Earth, or what he kept to referring to as "the mortal world", he was this black figure. But apparently that was Discord, possessing his body. I had asked him this many times and he always responded with, "I am always weaker where there is order" and then would stare at me. I kept trying to break the red rock farther, but the stupid rock wouldn't even split in half."Again!" Discord the Prince of Ass-Licking would always shout. I broke the rock this time and threw my arms in exasperation, "finally!""Again." Chaos did not look very motivational. Speaking of motivation, I wondered about when I sought after war. When I joined to escape. Soldier and ruthless always go so well together, but why must they say it?"Discord, who was that boy I saw before I died." "My partner, my gemino.""You were scared of him." I pressed further. "You got reall-.""That boy, is more than 400 years old, Charles." Discord looked resentful, jealous? The moment's hesitation gave me the chance to actually study without him blending into the dark rock. His skin was milky, but also dark. Eyes that were green but shone like obsidian, the curl of his lip was permanently curled into a snarl. Salty hair that was loud against the darkness. I licked my lips from the heat."I was scared of him because his powers far overceed my own. Adam, or Quincet, is Lust. He represents passion and loyalty. Everybody lusts Charles, and don't even think of touching him with the intent to kill. It's a bad decision.""Gatekeepers and their telepathy.." Charles kept splitting the rock, thinking of Quincet's dark brown hair.
