Ice Crystal: Chaos Storm (book 2) Finished

Chapter 10: Awaken

Light and Darkness have forever been at war with each other. Neither one getting the upper hand over the other. Without Light, Darkness could never survive and without Darkness, the hope that Light inspires would disappear. Locked in a perpetual battle, neither one can truly win a war. A perfect balance is needed and this generation intends to destroy that very balance we all hold dearly.

One twin wants to control the world through sheer force, whilst the other wishes for it to live on without the darkness in our hearts. Yes, we God's even need it to survive. We cannot step in nor can we even interfere with another's war. So many rules would be broken, but the balance in that realm will forever be broken.

"Deriose, what do you intend to do with the death of Kazle?" Meric, the God of Fire, asks. "If we help that girl defeat the corrupt God, we will break so many rules that we have set down. Once we do, we cannot go back to our old ways."

"Those rules are in place for a reason." Kysil, the God that rules over them all says. Despite her age, she's an able ruler for one so young. Since Kazle's death, they've had to replace him with a distant relative. They couldn't choose Relaria or Nada. The one who will inherit the Chaos Throne will eventually appear. For now, Kysil is their replacement, "If we don't abide by those rules, we're nothing."

"Relaria needs to win." Leonas steps forward, "If Nada defeats her, then no one is safe here. Nada would become too powerful for any of us to take out. If we don't do something, our way of life will forever be destroyed."

"That realm has forever broken the rules that we've set in place." Noric, the God of Earth, says. "Why would we help her? This is a family matter that we need to stay out of."

"As it stands now, Nada is too powerful for either one of us to take down." Lori, the God of Water, states. "We cannot hold our own against her. We have to put our hope into Relaria."

"Stop calling her that." Leonas sits down, "Her name's Rias. That's what her friends and family call her."

"Her given name is Relaria and she will forever be a God whether she likes it or not." Kysil says, "In this world, we will call her by her real name, not the name the humans gave her." She sighs, "Saria, why did you do what you did to this young girl?"

"The God of Time?" Eiri, the God of Air, asks, "She's the one who put her faith in Relaria? She's the one who accelerated her growth since she was awakened. The Goddess is a fickle one that's for sure."

"Relaria is as dangerous as her sister." Meric says, "We have to tread lightly with her. Despite her actions and feelings, she's still a God of Chaos and still a powerful ally if she can trust us."

"What makes you think she's going to put her trust in the world of the God's after an incident of this scale?" Noric asks, "As it sounds, she's not going to take the throne if she's victorious. If that happens, I'm glad we have Kysil to guard it until she's ready."

"And we already know what will happen if Nada defeats her." Kysil says, "If anybody wishes to interfere, say aye."

"Aye." Meric and Leonas say. The two have already met with Relaria and know of her capabilities as a person and a leader.

"Of course, I'd like to help the young girl." Deriose says with a toothy grin, "Although, I may have helped out more than enough already!"

"If there are no more votes, we'll close this-"

"She's a relative of yours and you'd rather sit back and watch her die letting Nada capture the Throne?" Leonas' flames spiral throughout the small room, "Have you no spine?"

"If that's what fate has in store for us, then we shall let it take its course." Kysil says closing her eyes in deep thought, "No one can go against fate."
