Rumors and Myths

  Much long ago, there was a god. A god that craved blood. Legends, myths, and rumors about him were told at home, or around campfires. No one knew his real age, where he did come from, or if he had a family or something. Some would say he was a mystery created by the universe and had no family, others would say that he had gone mad and killed his own family, he was told as a tall man with pink long hair, always braided with a dead yellow rose behind his ear, his green emerald eyes, shined on the daylights, and highlighted on the nights, he was always carrying his sword with him, stained from the blood of his past victims.

  There were also stories about an angel. An angel that heaven rejected, he was too bad to be in heaven but too good to be in hell, so he was sent to Earth, with no meaning, no purpose in life, just to keep eternally wandering through the huge Earth, people said he was an average height man with dark crow wings, with medium blond hair and blue ocean eyes.

 Rumors say that on a night, when the moon was shining so bright, that even the Sun got jealous, the Blood God and Angel of Death met each other, no one knows how or when,  but since then, there wasn't just the Blood God or just the Angel of Death anymore:

  -"I never thought that I would find you here." The Blood God says in a stern tone. 

  -"Is this a bad thing?" The Angel of Death during all the time used a calm tone like he was talking to an old friend from the past.

  -"I don't think so, I guess is just..." -The Blood God hesitates- "Unexpected."

  The Angel of Death waits a minute until he says something:

  -"How rude of me. I forgot to introduce myself."-The Blood God thought it was strange- "I don't think there's the need for an introduction. But.. I'm, Technoblade." 

-"I'm Philza"- Philza gave a gentle smile, his tone was always so calm, like a father speaking to a son, it passed the feeling of protection, of comfort.

 It was hard for them to know if it had passed 1 or 1000 years during this time, but they got closer, and the stories never ceased, they actually changed. Now people talked about 2 gods. Gods that craved blood, that if their blades got pointed at you, you could already know, it was your end, fighting would be useless.

 -"I don't know if we can get it to stop" Philza seemed worried."I don't think it will ever stop." Technoblade answer in a harsh tone. "But we can figure a way to decrease them." Philza says while putting bandages around his fist.

-"Or maybe is just my destiny, you know? Suffer eternally for the rest of my life, that's eternal." He waits a second giving a small chuckle "The good side is, seeing people's faces in fear is quite funny, actually" Technoblade says taking out the yellow dead rose from his hair, which tears itself apart in his hand, and he let the petals fall onto the ground. "Well, if you continue to do the meditations, it may soften it a bit." "Meh" Techno throws the flower stalk on the ground.  "Since when do you have those?" Philza asks. "I don't even know anymore, I think since I have conscience of the world around me." Technoblade steps on the stalk letting it get buried by dirt.

The voices kept getting louder and louder, things seemed to be getting out of hand, Techno was killing more and more, Philza was worried, worried about Techno, worried about the people, would this world ever reach peace? It was hard to know.

  Rumors got more and more frequent, in cities was easy to find "Wanted" posters about Techno and Philza, they couldn't be hidden in a hideout, cave or shelter for more than a week no more, it was getting tiring, even Techno was tired.

-"We need to end this" Philza says sitting on the ground leaning back a rock in the cave "We both know there's no ending for what we started, Phil, is my, our nature, war was made for us we were made to war" Technoblade answer doing the same. "This is not right... There must be a way, Techno, we are killing innocent people! We are killing people that probably had a whole life ahead them... Don't you ever thought that?" Philza says while trying to make a fireplace. "I actually did... Once... But the world teached me, there's no other way." Philza finally get to light up the fireplace "And then? We will do this forever?.. Eternally until the end? Untill the world explode itself? Have you ever thought in-" Technoblade don't wait for Philza and get up "I'm going to find food." He doesn't wait for Philza to react and get up leaving the cave.

"Thought about what?! There's nothing to think about. There's nothing to rethink..." Technoblade mumble to himself while walking through the woods "... This is useless! We're useless" A figure of what appears to be a person passes through the trees. Technoblade get ready to fight. Sound of steps are no longer able to hear, the voices whispered "Show what you're able to do, your strength. Prove them the rumors are real" the voices get louder and louder repeating "Show yourself, show yourself..." Technoblade get his sword "Who are you?" The person hide behind a tree "Who are you?" Technoblade hated when people did that, like they weren't really scared, everyone was scared of him, it was a basical mortals thing "Technoblade. Can you tell me who you are now?" The person stays behind the three before sighing and getting out of the shadows "Someone" It was a average height girl with blond hair and light hazel eyes, her skin was light brown, she didn't seem much older then 20 y/o, she was holding a dagger, probably already expecting to find dangers in the woods "Were you following me?" She shrugs "Maybe" Technoblade eyes went to the dagger, it was stained with blood, the girl's hand was steady on the hilt of the thing, she was apparently right-handed,  had a couple scratches on her arm and a piece of red fabric was tied around her wrist, that was probably hurt, since the fabric was darker in parts and seemed soaked. "You know you won't get to kill me" The girl pays attention to Technoblade's sword and how he held it. "Yea, I know that. But I can try." She gets in a attack position "If you don't get it you die, you know, right?" The girl shrugs again "Maybe. But, I don't think it really matters, you know? I did everything I wanted and could in this life, so, even if I die, I don't think there is much else to do. I had great parents, never struggled with money or food or basical needs, I had a life I couldn't complain." Technoblade waits a second before saying something "So.. If I kill you right now, you just... Wouldn't care?" Technoblade was confused, how she, a mortal, that doesn't have much time to live her life could just be bored of living? How? The girl nods before saying something "Just, make it fast and painless, okay?" Technoblade grabs his sword while the girl stronger her grip around the dagger hilt, Technoblade gets to immobilizes her, but she sticks the dagger blade in his arm, normally Techno wouldn't feel a single thing, but this time was different. It burned, he didn't remember the last time he felt this feeling, it was painful, but made him feel alive, he gets to kill the girl, throwing the sword at her chest, he didn't know if it was painless, but it was quick, in a couple of seconds, the girl was pale, and her heart no longer beating.
  The happenings from that day stayed in his mind for weeks, what a waste, that girl had skills, she could lead an army one day if she wanted to, but she chose to die, mortals were confusing.
