A New Order of Chaos

Consequences 3x1

Vetika couldn't continue to push herself and Vouno could see that.

She stopped for a second, before being pulled by the newly Primordial to continue.

"No..." she gasped, dropping in several of her legs "I can't- I can't-"

"Yes, you can, Vetika" he encouraged her, still pulling her up, gentler this time "We're closer to the border of their power... Only a few more miles and we'll be free..."

"You- you go with- without me..." Vetika insisted, shaking her head "If they- if they are after us..."

"We'll deal with it, together" Vouno continued for her "I don't care if it's because I owe you a life debt or friendship, but I'm not leaving you behind"

"Awwh! Isn't that sweet?" Vouno let out a low growl and turned fully to see the last person, or in this case entity, he wanted to see. Floating on the air, clapping slowly with a smile that meant that he was being sarcastic, at them was Vouno's twin, Kethas "Two traitors, kissing on a tree..." he mocked them, from the heights.

"Shut it, Kethas!" Vouno demanded, not looking happy. He put the mockery behind and concentrated on Kethas' figure "Why are you here? I thought you wouldn't waste your time chasing us..."

"Oh, dear brother... You have no idea how right you are" Kethas admitted, shaking his head. That surprised both Vetika and Vouno. If Kethas didn't want to chase after them, why was he there? "I was sent here to retrieve you... Master Ouranos was very happy with your performance against Tartarus. He wants you back..."

"Wants me back in my cage, that's what he wants" Vouno argued, while Vetika kept quiet.

"Tsk, tsk, brother..." Kethas shook a finger to him, smirking "You can't control your power and you're too stubborn to learn how to control it... Besides, the wild power is the best power you could ever have at your disposal..." Kethas moved his hands, like if he was controlling some kind of energy around his fingers. As if he had the control of all the power he and Vouno was on his hands.

Vouno stared at his brother, not knowing if he was insane or if he was right about it. But, there was one thing that Kethas was right about: he had a power he couldn't control. Not because he didn't want to learn how to control it, but because he was never given the opportunity to control it. Was have it wild a good thing, to let the power control one? Or it was better that one controlled the wild power and use it on one's benefit?

"Vouno, don't listen to him- agh!" Vetika tried to break the mild compulsion Kethas had on his brother. Unfortunately, Kethas didn't like the interruption and focused his energies on shutting her up. Faster than lightning, Kethas' hand was around Vetika's neck, squeezing the millenary monster until she was gagging.

"Kethas, let her go!" Vouno launched at his brother, hoping the shock would make him release Vetika. Unfortunately, Kethas was expecting an attack like this and flew out of his reach, dragging Vetika with him "Kethas, let her go! She has nothing to do with this!"

"Nothing to do with this?!" Kethas repeated, his fingers curling a little more around Vetika's neck, who was gasping for air this time "Ouranos couldn't get enough of this- this... monster's abilities... Oh, much I hated when he praised her and valued more her life than anything I could do for him... And then, you came out of your little cage and showed everyone, everyone, what you could do!" The more he talked, the more Kethas squeezed Vetika, unconsciously "I couldn't even get his attention and you two, freaks, get it without even trying!!"

"Let us go, Kethas" Vouno quickly begged "Say you killed us while you were trying to get us back, say you drown us, that our ashes are scattered around Tartarus, I don't care... We just want to live in peace. Away from all this war..." Vouno watched as Kethas glanced at Vetika, who tried to nodded in agreement, though it was weak.
