Chapter 18: A Needed Talk

=== with Lust ===

"What do you mean there's nothing in here! There are clearly words!"

"No there isn't Lust"

"you must be mistaken! I clearly see words on this!"

Reaper paused as he absorbed the information. The only book he knew that shared information with certain people was ... the Book of Death. He ... had a theory in his mind. No moral or immoral can read and see the text written in it, it was only available to the god of death. But... perhaps...the thick book with a leather cover appeared in Reaper's hands as he opened it to the latest page. For some strange reason, ever since the batch of AUs that included Lusttale were created. The book had stopped working. No more names were recorded in the book and ever changing times had started to appear. It was strange when the new main original AU had appeared. It was the first. The first in the last 15 centuries. It was strange. Everyone had suspected that the latest main was the last. Apparently, they were wrong.

The question is... why did Lusttale exist? It was a horrible AU yet... it was so mysterious. Every main au had a reason to exist... except for Lusttale. Not once had a name from Lusttale appeared in the book of deaths. Everytime when a monster from Lusttale died... they just glitched out of existence until the next reset. All... except Lust.

Lust died but never glitches out. Lust died but never appeared in the book of Deaths. Lust just... disappeared into nothing. So here he was. Testing out his theory.

"Is... there anything in this book?" Reaper asked while holding up the book of deaths showing the latest glitched page. Reaper could never make out what the scrambled words meant. The words that were glitched and impossible to read even though the book was meant to belong to him.

"Uhhh..." Lust stuttered as he raised his non-existence eyebrow at the book as his eyes seemed to follow the unreadable lines.

"Yeah" Lust finally said as he looked over at Reaper with confusion melted over his skull. Reaper almost doubled over in shock as his skull became pale. Yes this was a test to prove a theory but he didn't actually think it would work, Lust could read it ... and Reaper cannot.

"Are you sure?! Is it proper words?! Not scrambled letters?!" Reaper shouted as his panic rose repeatedly. "Umm.... yes." Lust replies with sweat rolling down his skull. Why was Reaper acting this way?

Reaper seemed to think for a bit before he sighed. "Whatever. Just read me whatever is in your book." He huffed out as his eyes gazed at the wall behind Lust as if he was avoiding his eyes. Lust tilted his head in confusion before sighing and flipped the page.

"At the beginning. There was nothing. No light, no god. No false 'creator-"

"FALSE CREATOR?! WHAT TH-"

Lust glared at Reaper with anger that he hasn't felt before... "let me finish." He hissed as he continued with the book.

" the only thing present were the deities... the one who created every molecule of everything. They lived in a peaceful land named 'The Realm' and were gifted with powers and abilities that could exceed those of any god.-"

Lust could hear Reaper gritting his teeth. It was rather obvious that Reaper was angered.

"The most well known of these deities were Gaia, Fate and Destiny.

Gaia was known as the deity of life and positivity, her counterpart being Crow the deity of death, Void and negativity. She was kind and caring and was friends with many of her fellow deities.

Gaia was known for her selfless deeds as she didn't care for herself at all, instead, she would risk her life for even the lowest of the people that she has created. She knew of the balance and knows of the boundaries of the voids that held the world together. Crow and Gaia were not enemies. Instead, they were like siblings. Siblings that were not related biologically. Her favorite colour was green.
