Chapter 495 Order, And Peace
"Once you have completed this task, you will be able to enter the second veil to wild and untamed land. This world will not be like the one you are in now, and your goal will be to bring order to the land and people. This task will not be easy, and you will be starting alone again. Each test will require you to do the same," Hellios explained, but I put up a hand.
"Hold on, Hellios. Answer my question first. What was the point of everything so far? why did I repeat my lives on the 499 worlds over and over again just to have them all disappear now?" I asked as I sat beside Tallia.
"The people of the world were used as training for you, and now they serve no purpose on those worlds. Since the connection between the planes has been made, all residents of those worlds have been spread out to the two outer veils controlled by Apocolios and myself. There were also important people you acquired from each world and will be part of the bigger picture in the end. That is the limit of what I or the others can explain to you," Hellios explained, and the last Guide nodded its head, and its rob turned blood red. Apocolios.
"This is true, but when you finish bringing order to the Second Veil, you will arrive at the third and Final Veil. This one is controlled by me and is at constant war in a shattered dimension where everyone is multitude stronger than they were in their past lives. This goes for monsters as well, and the Riftwalkers that call the Final Veil their home. To complete the last task, you must bring peace to this shattered and warring dimension," Apocolios explained, and I lifted an eyebrow.
"And then what?" I asked, but none of them said anything.
Then they disappeared like they had never been here. Of course they did without answering my question, but I should be happy I got as much as I did.
"What?" I asked, and then shook my head.
"They probably can't tell you," Nemoria said, and I sighed, tossing my hands up and leaning back, letting one of my arms fall over Tallia's shoulder, and she leaned into me.
"Big surprise. Another thing they can't tell me," I groaned and tipped my head against Tallia's.
"I am surprised that they told you as much as they did. I am not allowed to talk about that stuff, even now. Kadeon might think he is smart, but we are just as much pieces in this game as you are the player. Just remember that. Who we are represented as are only the pieces being used on the board and not our true selves. I think it is clear that I only want the best for you, even if I am forced to make your life hard. You useless father gets to play the innocent God of Light," Nemoria said with spite in her voice, but I could understand why.
This meeting with the Guides had made it clear as day that we were all pawns in a game that only they seemed to know or refused to let others explain. I just wished that I had more answers and that I knew what I had to do to succeed, but I knew that I had to take it one step at a time.
"Well, this was enlightening, but now what? I just keep going and hope that you don't kill me in the future?" I asked, looking over at my mother, and she sighed.
"There is more to it than that, but what you are doing now is right. You have the rest of the world to explore, and anything you learn here will help you in the Second and Final Veils. The Guides did set this all up, so there is no point in you not trying to take every advantage that you can. You were given countless years to hone your skills; even if you can't remember all the other lives, the things you learned are ingrained in your being. Use them," Nemoria said and then stood up straight.
"Now, I think that it is time for me to go and for you to get back to your guests. I will be in touch with more information about your father soon. It is time for us both to move on and for you to take the next step in your destiny," She said, and before I could even stand, she opened a portal and left, closing it behind her quickly.
"Well, that was... unexpected," Tallia said, and I nodded.
"Yeah, I didn't expect her to be so open about my father. I thought that she would be more... I don't know, but she seemed to be more forthcoming than I thought she would be," I said, and then looked around. "Speaking of my old man, we should go and find him and the others. He is turning Fate and Murphy into girls so they can come to the Mortal Realm."
"Really? Your father can do that?" Tallia asked with surprise, and I nodded.
"Yeah, I can do it as well, but he did make all the women of this world that have been coming from the Golden Eggs," I said, and that seemed to startle Tallia.
"He did what?" She asked, but I just shrugged.
"He made the women of this world that are now coming from the Golden Eggs. I only just found out about it today. Anyways, I really don't want to get into that, so let's just go check on them," I said with a sigh, and Tallia nodded but grabbed my arm as I tried to walk away.
"This is our first time in your house together, so the least you could do was walk with me and show me around the place. You are the one that said we had all the time in the world, right?" Tallia asked, and I smiled and nodded and then scooped her into my arms.
