Chapter 4 - Retribution

Second Brother's Pov:

____________

Part of me wished it didn't happen. Part of me was happy that it did. Part of me wished First would have told us what he was going through. Part of me was happy that I did not have to tell Fourth. I could feel coursing from my severed hand, but all it did was accentuate my loss. It was shocking really, how fast a world full of color could grow so... bland. The people responsible for this were looking at me right now, as if they have done nothing wrong.

It Enrages me.

Flicking my hand, they all shot a couple feet off the floor. Motioning with my wrist, my hand rushed towards me, and cleanly reattached itself to my wrist. Raising my newly recovered left hand, I pushed down slowly with two fingers. With my fingers, the skin of the perpetrators slowly peeled off. I could hear them begging me to stop, but it wasn't enough yet. I made a twisting motion, and the heads of the other two twisted around perfectly. Enough rotation to cause immense pain, but not enough to kill them immediately. I let them fall towards the ground, and extended both of my hands towards the sword-wielder. I sent my force inside his body, and made it solidify. Then suddenly, I ripped my hands apart, and him with them.

Now for the other two. They may have not dealt the final blow, but they are just as impure. Motioning towards myself with my fingers, they appeared before me, tears streaming from their eyes, begging me to stop, even though they couldn't speak. It was delightful honestly, but also sickening. Had my sister looked at them this same way? Not wanting to see them anymore, I tossed them aside, while shredding their bodies into something utterly revolting. an end befitting of their nature. Disgusting and dreadful.

In all honesty, I should have kept them alive. The timing of this is too coincidental, and the might have had information. Even if I think it is impossible, primordials are not gods. We are just the first. Never the less, I am unfit to seek any sort of retribution as I am now. I sacrificed a massive amount of force in order to to what I just did, and I have no idea how long it will take to refill. I had no use for my powers, I had only just started using them correctly. If only First taught me sooner.

The limit of what I can do is fast approaching, and there are beings approaching that are far out of my league. I must retreat as of now. Disappearing from my spot, the world blurred around me as I sprinted as far away as I could. After running as long as I could without completely sacrificing myself completely. After running for three hours, I stopped, and unsealed myself, transforming from my bipedal to my true form. I must sleep for ages, possibly for the next couple hundred sets of trillions of years, In order to make up for the lack in force. To put it bluntly, I wouldn't need to do this if all of that hadn't happened. But those people were clearly equipped specifically to deal with us, the younger two. I had to go all out. In terms of Force, I am now in the negative. When sleeping, I am invincible. I can rest knowing this. Hopefully. But as of now, nothing is an absolute. previously, I thought the only thing that could kill a primordial is another primordial. Now it is time for me to sleep, in order to recover the lost Force.

An incalculable amount of time later:

Originator Hecate's Pov:

____________

WHAM!

"This is what I am talking about, Originator Hecate. He is the oldest of us, of everything, and yet all he does is SLEEP!? Even when we were sealed here, HE just let it happen! He didn't try to stop them and just let himself be trapped??"

"I know that, Originator Phoenix, But he is still a primordial. We should not treat him rashly, must less kick him while he is slee-"

WHAM!

"I can kick him, because this is important. WE finally have a chance to escape, and we need him to do so, no matter how much I may not enjoy that fac-" He froze, both of us did, shivering as we felt a inexplicable fear come over us. But we were the most powerful here? what could do this to us? then I realized what it was. There was a massive pure white iris staring directly at Originator Phoenix. It was convenient, but also impractical. This was NOT what I wanted our first impressions to be, especially in front of someone so crucial for our current plans. Steadying myself, I said: "Greetings, Oh Great Primordial. May I ask you something?" He did not move, but after a moment of deliberation, I could feel him agree. "You may not have noticed, But we have been sealed here by an enemy many ages ago. We ask for your help, as you are the perfect specimen to be sent through the hole we have located, along with one other person. It would be an honor if you would just consider this proposal."

After around 13 minutes and 33 seconds of just sitting there in a bowing position, something moved. The air started swirling around and compressing, removing a weight from my shoulders I wasn't even aware of. Everything seemed to suddenly get pulled in, then released again. This all happened in less than a second. I looked up, and the primordial was nowhere to be found.

Standing up and relaxing my shoulders, I gazed off into the distance.

After a deep breath, I said: "Fuck me, Originator Phoenix. This is because of you. He probably would have agreed if it wasn't for your stupidity!"

"ME??? What did I do?? All I did was give him a little kick to help him come to his senses."

Turning around and gearing up to scold him for ruining our chances of escape, I suddenly froze. Again.

"Ah! I am so sorry, Lord Primordial. I simply failed to notice you there. My sincere apologies for the disrespect."

sitting there was a little boy, around seven or eight years old, with a strangely ancient look around him. He had black hair, white irises, and pure black sclera. He had a few white snake scales right underneath his eyes, and his hair had grown abnormally long, at least a couple hundred feet or so.

"Huh? what are you talking about? I'm not the primordial?"

"I am sorry, Lord Primordial"

Lord Primordial bowed his head, granting his forgiveness.

"May I take this as a sign that you have accepted my offer?"

He bowed his head again, showing his agreement.

Standing up, I said. "then let us head off" with a smile on my second face.

Suddenly, I heard "wait" and I froze. He really does scare the shit out of me.

"What can I do for you, Lord Primordial?"

He pointed to his hair, and I realized my mistake.

"Ah! That is a problem. Thank you for reminding me, Lord Primordial!"

After we had cut his hair into a more acceptable size, where he wouldn't be dragging it along as we walked, we set off to the place we would me the other Originators.
