Called Upon

Chapter 5

        The elders, progressing with their activities were near completion. They were about to announce the last ruler when a large sound left the gates to the entrance ajar. Through it gaited an uninvited guest who slowly approached the center of the gathering. It was the seer who had an information laid down on her tongue.

She endured a stance at the center with her face brimming with fear. She noticed she have appeared in the middle of cloud nine with a decaying factor in the offing. Chaos noticed the look on her face and unwrapped an attempt to speak.

         "Hmm... a clear combination of good and sin. What misfortune do you bring," Chaos said.

She attempted to speak but the words got stuck to the roof of her mouth due to an unspeakable anxiety. She refused to disclose the fatal revelation.

         "Hey woman what is the purpose of what you seek, if you have a mouth but cannot speak," the cutter of faith said to her.

        She knew that she had to offer nothing but the truth. She was confident that the elders will believe her due to her past experiences.

      "Several misfortunes have been foretold and it pulls great weight on the future. I connected with the sphere of destiny which in turn revealed to me what would happen. The universe would be reborn in darkness. It would rule for eternity and not even you or any other being will be able to restore balance." She prophesied.

All the elders and gods were speechless after she proposed the prophecy. Chaos looked into her eyes for sometime observing the seriousness of her face.

      "Don't worry everyone she is lying. She must've flopped on the verge of dying," Chaos said.

They all diffused into laughter taking it as just a joke to liven the boring atmosphere. The seer couldn't identify the humour in what she just said.

        "I assure you all this is true. Why would I ever lie to you?" She said.

        "Even if balance dissolve and thaw, Equilibrium, he can restore," Chaos said.

They continued to laugh mercilessly revealing all the plagues that hid between their teeth. After exposing the truth about the future she was denied. They shunned her authority and deemed her untruthful. With this in mind, she unintentionally proposed a death wish.

        "Equilibrium dies!" She said loudly.

They all kept silent after she sealed her lips. She, in fact, regretted uttering those words. The elders couldn't believe why she would toss over to them the wish of death. Hyperion looked through the future but no misfortune portrayed.

       "I have looked far and wide and seen, nothing no misfortune has been," Hyperion said.

       "This is a destiny not a plight. It is hidden from the beginner's sight," the seer said disrespectfully.

Again, she regretted. Canon-the elder of law, uttered the laws she had broken. The fifth law-do not propose a death wish and the first law-do not disrespect the elders.

She was deemed guilty and was thrown into the dungeon that sat beneath the chamber.

They disclosed the chapter and sought to announce the last realm before everyone vamoosed. Hiatus steaming with hope was waiting patiently to hear his name.

      "Before we close, Ares rules the last realm I suppose," the cutter of destiny said.

The gods chosen to behoove the realms of glory were elated whereas those who were not chosen endured a round of disappoinment but didn't show on their faces... except Hiatus.

He stood up as everyone else were passing by. His heart was profusely swelling with frustrations until it finally burst and he started uttering ungrateful words saying that even Poseidon and Ares was chosen despite their insignificant powers.

They all kept quite until he completed his words. Afterwards, Chaos took the opportunity to say something.

        "A harsh complaint but healthy. How dare you disrespect me,"Chaos said to him

Canon lifted a scroll that hanged on his shoulder and started reading what it stated. The seventy third law said: keep your frustrations to yourself. Doing this will... He was about to complete his sentence when Hiatus silenced him. He then read to him the first law which said: do not disrespect the elders.

As a result of his unruly behavior, Chaos took his powers and immortality from him telling him he will gain it back when he's been deemed worthy. Afterwards, Chaos waved his left hand and Hiatus mysteriously disappeared from their midst.

All the gods departed from the chamber of order. The elders sitting in their thrones also stood up with an attempt to flee.

       "I think the seer was right about one thing. Several misfortunes has befall us this morning," the weaver of fate said.

       "Hey Canon, are you free this afternoon," Chaos said to him.

       "Oh I'm sorry some laws need to be mandated. I have to apply changes to what I created." Canon said.

        "Were free!" The sisters of fate simultaneously exclaimed.

         "I just remembered I have to visit the quantumverse of regrets. I have a very important business to inspect," he said and they all went on their separate ways.
