Chereads / BLACK Silk / Chapter 3 - Pre Mortum

Chapter 3 - Pre Mortum

Year 0, Hour: 00:00, Minute 0, Second 0. At the beginning of time, or at the beginning of the clock.

A child was born, unknown for the entire world. The stars were shining on the sky far more lightful than usually. The moon was Full, its Moonlight going right over the child. Above Yggdrasil, in Asgard the child was known to have no name. Being a human among gods, everyone treated her with inferiority, the so perfect gods never loved her and always pushed her away. Her mother was called Xanadu, her dad however being dead and unknown to her.

On the deathbed of her mother, the girl listened.

"Always remember my child, live for yourself."

The girl remembered Those words all her life. Living life with a wish in her mind under a name, her name being Chloah.

"Chloah? A human rivalring gods? What a funny joke hahaha! That is not stupidity.. It is suicide.."

Noone ever believed in her, however..

Year 28, Chloah met a person that was staying in a forest at the bottom of Yggdrasil.

"Hey! Why are you fishing here? There is no lake, your rod is stuck in the earth.."

The person stood up confused about the girl's words.

"There is no water? Of course there is water."

Chloah rubbed her eyes and looked again, seeing herself and the boy on a small wood bridge, next to a giant lake.

"Huh?! But there was only forest a moment ago!"

The boy approached the girl, looking her right in the eye, the enviroment around them changing faster and faster, reaching the speed of light. Until nothing was left, just a dark room.

"My name is Zdredgion. You might not know me, but I know you."

"Zdredgion? I never heard that name.."

"I am a god. Well.. a demi-god.. more likely?"

The boy sat down, turning the entire enviroment around them into an island in the middle of the ocean.

"I am the God of Enviroment. You're a god too?"

"Me? How can I be a god, I am just a mere human.. And you're a god, you might want to kill me so I think I will just go away.. Sorry to disturb you-"

"You don't have any smell. You don't even feel like anything, you're like light. I think I must have confused you, a failure to a god?"

Chloah walked away from the boy, going further and further however, it never seemed like she was reaching an end. The place turning darker and darker.

"What is this place.. there is nothingness..."

"This place is known as Black Room. Any god has one, some stronger than others. If you want to escape You need a stronger Black Room than mine, or.. Are you so stupid that you would approach a god being so weak?"

Chloah's heartbeat started to get faster and faster, her body getting ravaged by the god. The girl's blood flying everywhere.

"Is that all you got, Little human..?"

Suddenly, Chloah's body started to shine, like her entire body was becoming light.

"God? You're not a God."

"What are you talking about little girl?"

"You are just, inferior."

The Black Room started to dissapear, Zdredgion turning to stone, and cracking to pieces.

"I am not a God, I am a human. And I will lead humanity to the point where we don't have to depend on gods to be alive!"

Chloah departed from the fallen god, with another wish than the past one on her mind. To raise humanity, and help them be equal to gods, if not. Superior.

{And now I wonder, after a thousand years from when Chloah declared war on gods, will the blood of her survive against the fallen ones, or against the risen ones. Or only fall again to the point where the blood becomes wine.}

A young boy stood up from his table, asking the girl in front of him.

{What do you think will happen to them... Beelzebub?}

The girl looked at him while stuffing her mouth with food.

{Nothing will happen, they will auto-destruct themselves before they could reach us. And if they do, They can't pass the first circle.. They are too weak.}

{Yeah, you are right. The Girl of Silk, The Girl of Chloroplast and a nameless girl..}

{She is pretty interesting tho..}

Beelzebub looked up while swallowing all the food in her mouth.

{Enno? That name reminds me of someone, heh..}
