Chaos Will Reign

Chapter Two: Chaos

Fae and Shun-Fei arrive at the Temple of Life to give December some rest. Viviana prepared a bed for her to sleep in, as Fae sits with her for some tea. "Gran, Lady December seemed to be upset about something..." Fae says, as Viviana tilts her head.

"What happened?" She asked. Fae would start explaining what transpired just moments before, as the Goddess of Life nodded along. "That isn't good..." She says.

"So...that person we saw is bad?" Fae asks next.

"Yes. Although, you would probably be better off asking Lord Damien about this. He likely has records of this person." Viviana says.

Fae nods, and stands up. "Then I'll make my way there now. If Lady December or Shun asks about me, just tell them I'm visiting my uncle." She says and walks out.

"Oh... Bye then." Viviana says with a hint of sadness. She doesn't get to see her often, and she is Ymir's daughter, so of course she would see her as her own granddaughter as well. But she always was the more mature one of her three sisters. So she probably wanted to find a solution to this problem as soon as possible. As Viviana sat and drank her tea, December walks out of her room, and looks around. "Oh, you're up faster than expected." She says.

"Lady Viviana, I must go... She...—"

"I heard from Fae. Stay and rest longer. You can't fight when you're already exhausted. Plus, you don't even know where the enemy is anymore. Let Fae handle this part." She says, making December reluctantly return to her room.

Fae makes a quick appearance at the Temple of Wisdom, and is swiftly guided through the dense forest. Damien greets her almost immediately, surprised that she had such urgent business, as she said.

"How can uncle help you, Fae?" He would ask with a smile.

"I need to learn about the existences before everything." She says.

Damien soon gets serious, confused as to why she would want to know that. "Okay...? Well, it's a bit of a long story. But I'll try to shorten it as much as possible."

"Before everything, there was "The Universe". This being exists beyond all known boundaries of our multiverse. However, "The Universe" would soon split. One half wished to create, while the other wished to destroy. These halves were simply known as Existence and Extinction. Through Existence, the multiverse was created. The two halves would constantly engage in destructive battles. From their battles, Balance was born, but they, too, would split apart. Chaos was born from the constant battles. And when they weren't fighting, Harmony would arrive soon after. The constant battle of control would soon end with Existence emerging as the victor, as Extinction disappeared into obscurity. Enraged that there was no more "entertainment", Chaos flew into a rage, and began a reign of terror in an attempt to become the next Extinction. Seeing her sibling going out of control, Harmony rallied the gods of the time to rise up and seal Chaos away in the depths of the cosmos, with Harmony herself acting as their seal."

Damien explained the story as quickly as he could, and closed the archive in his hand. "If I were to guess, Chaos has escaped, correct?"

Fae would only nod in silence.

"I see." Damien nods as well. "Then we must make preparations for whatever they are plotting."

"Of course, Uncle...!" Fae nods and watches him put out a broadcast to some specific gods. "What about mom? Shouldn't she help too?"
