*Chaos Realm*

     Lady Chaos did not know what to do with Matthias, and that was surprising to her. Being alive for millions of years, always precise in her decisions. This one did not sit well, and her mind could not be made up. The first few months, she allowed him to rot in the dungeons, to suffer the fate he tried to impose on her. Day after day, she would hear him call her name, not by her statues, but by the name he had given her. Calliope.

At first it sounded strange to her ears, like it would make her more human if she had a name to call. But he was relentless, and kept calling her the name. It would echo through the halls, and every time she passed the dungeons. She stopped herself from going down there to see him, he needed to stew in the torment.

Lady Chaos sat at her throne, the Darkhold floating in front of her, as she was using it to call upon her creators. She needed guidance, as if she was a child again calling upon her Father. The Queen inhaled some air, as her creators - Lords of Chaos were more ruthless than her when it came to humanity.

"I, Lady Chaos, Queen of the Chaos realm, summon my creators. Lords of Chaos," her voice was smooth and precise. "I seek thy guidance in my time of need," she raises her hands out, as red energy laces her palms, and suddenly a large red diamond shaped cake floats down from the ceiling, and into her throne room. The three diamond shapes swirled around one another before, coming to Lady Chaos's eye level and floated there. Red flames produced from the tip of the diamond, soaring high.

"Why have you summoned us?" The first diamond spoke, and it flashed a lighter red with each word it spoke as if it was alive.

"My Lords, I have stumbled upon a predicament," she states, knowing that her creators needed to know. "Mortals have tried to summon, and bind me to do their bidding," the words rolled off her tongue with ease, as she's had time to process this. However, the Lords remain quiet, probably speaking to one another privately.

"Seeing you here means they did not succeed," the second Lord spoke, after a moment, his voice deep. "If the mortals successfully trap and bind you, and by the Laws we can not do a thing. The consequences could be phenomenal," if this scenario ever came to pass, the damages one could do with Lady Chaos at their side could be endless.

"I know my Lords," she replies, rising from her throne, and the Darkhold moves to the left of her. "There is also a human who I captured. He was one of the instigators who tried to summon me," she descended down the steps, and stared up at her creators.

"Kill him," the words she feared came to light, and without hesitation. "If he no longer lives, he poses no threat," the first diamond states. And Lady Chaos' expression turned to one they had not seen before. Doubt. "You do remember the last time you did not follow an order," the Queen's expression quickly changed to discourage their worries about her not following this through.

"I will have great pleasure in killing him," a smirk appeared on her lips.

"We will see to the other culprit," the Lords of Chaos had their own resources, and power to do what they could. And Lady Chaos never sought to ask what methods they used. Suddenly, the three diamond shaped orbs floated back up into the sky, disappearing through the ceiling and back to their own realm.
