Chapter 16 - Sleepyhead's true home- The Aegis

Sometimes fate lies to you because you were not able to see which one was true and followed what the fiction hold until the day when you knew how false it was!

*Few moments before, a maze of onyx*

"Calm down, ooze"

"Broth--"

"I NEED TO KNOW EVER----*Yawn* TNG (Thing)!!!!! " he cried at the top of his lungs as a child sent to the kindergarten at foremost day,

But, the alien girl with big pinna of ears that extend from the corner of the ears towards the back of the skull, threw something like a little capsule from her palm towards the panicked boy with a frowning expression,

That of her perfect throwing ability and his open mouth entered his esophagus without any repulsion like a capsule in the throat of the house!

Even if he impedes, it just lurched down effortlessly like butter!

And...

"Mhnmm?! (What?!) " he held his throat, which felt a sharp pain when he said something, and even if he bear the pain and try to spell something it was just air that get out!

'What has happened to my voice? Did they make me dumb for life?! Oh god, how am I supposed to snore now?! This is a catastrophe!!!!! '

He looked around with widened eyes asking for answers through those puppy eyes! But,

"Huff! Finally! The alarm is off! " and the lady with short but straight black hair falls to her throne with satisfaction but a tiresome face,

'Is she the little sister I always dreamt of?! She is calling me alarm!!! ' he thought through his helpless eyes and hand squeezing his own throat, 'Well, my lil' brother will be a little sensible wouldn't---'

"Ha! Seriously I was about to rip you, big brother if you wouldn't have stopped!" the handsome little brother throw his strong hand onto the weakling but big bro's shoulder, laughing,

'Was it supposed to be a joke? Then why am I getting goosebumps?! ' the cold sweat was running colder than ever!

But, still, he tried with all his strength- 'I can't be dumb, I want to snore right now at pitch high! '

"YY... Ehhh mnh! Ah!!! (You can do IT!!!) "

However, *Cough* *cough*

To much force almost as if slit his throat from inside, the pain grew intense that the goddess who had turned into an alien, who had now turned back to her angelic form kept a step ahead and said with her crossed arm-

"Don't worry it's an interim pill of dumb, after one hour or two you will restore your initial speech abilities, if you are going to try to break free now it will either permanently disable you from speaking or maybe you would die of internal injuries due to recursion and your stubbornness, the choice is yours"

The choice kept divergent into his brain that his grasp on his through growing prominent!

'Stubbornness? I'm stubborn!

But (Khrreeee.... Khhhh.... Zzz) my dear snores! For you...I will sacrifice all '

And he let his hand fall off his throat and looked away with his bubbled cheek!

'Just wait one hour (Maybe two too) anyway, then I will cut you with my knife sharp words! How can you take away my speech and questioning rights? I will sue you in court! ' cursing and threatening inside his chest!

On the other hand, in the thick aura of silence, the lady leans onto her thigh with a very complex look and called in a very soft manner,

"Soi...thank you, and apologize to my elder brother right now! "

"Lady... "

But, the goddess looked with her dismayed look however those expansive eyes tell it as opposite she want!

"Nf, sorry senior master for my bluntness" and abruptly, she bends with her face still gruesome at the feet of that slumberer who had still kept his cheeks bubbling and lost in his killer thoughts (*Sueing an enchantress in court!*

My lord, this girl came to me as a beautiful diva but then in a blink of an eye she turned into an alien movie actress from Avatar!

Judge be like- Then what?! You are being indulged too much in Physiognomy!

She even tries to feed me something to make me dumb that I couldn't come to court to testify!

Goddess be like- I can make you dumb and dead for life! *takes out her sword*

Aghhhhhhh!!!!!Ahhhh!!! )

'Conclusion- Ahem, too bad idea! Wait, where is her?! '

Suddenly back to reality, he looked around in silence where his sister and brother looked at him with awkward smiling faces

"Ha! My big bro is cruel than me" (What happened to them?) until'

"Aghhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! Ahhh!!! " he screamed and jumped back freaking out from where she was bent just to his feet and her hair all golden threads spread onto his dirty shoes!

Only to hold his throat again that it ich more now, but still he cried in outrage-

"What the hell are you doing on the ground licking the dirt off my shoes?! "

Indifferently, offended the goddess raise her head and declared putting her hand to her hip -

"Who the hell do you think you're---oh...you can speak?! " She asked in amazement, the amazement and bafflement the whole hallway was in,

"Wait... I can indeed speak without missing a word or without dying waiting for the next one or two hours suffering in misery! " he jumped in the independence that he didn't know until now how much it cost! That the soul was crying with happiness-

'Finally, I can snore soundly!'

"That's... A miracle! " The lil' sister leaps from her throne that now felt as if felt like a throne is a thorn, and her heart was being squished from the inside out!

"What miracle? She was bluffing for sure that's why her effective medicine has worn out rapidly that glacier in Antarctica " he exclaimed but she on the controversy, walk on her soft healed feet towards the charge presser, with a careless sarcastic smile-

"Oh did my medicine wears out or a mystical demon has woken up inside here? " poking her finger to the center of the lean boy's chest with her lavender smell filling her nostrils he pushed himself back blocking the air which has turned uneasy and as if gravel to breath,

'Please... Please... Ahhh--mercy---'

"I thought... I thought it was a nightmare" he expressed in short inbreathe colliding with his strong physique little brother's feathers that were spread to the ground,

"This is the true reality, brother, your true reality" the young one smiled,

"Then Explain to me who I am now? Am I a killer manic? Or a sleepyhead?! Or... Something third personality! Who am I anymore?! Am I even human? Or did I reincarnate into a demon?! "

"Ha! Consider this your reincarnation into your true home, the Aegis to meet your true self, the Joker! " sister smiled rubbing her nail tips, but surely it wasn't as satisfying as complete information, although it felt like a maze in itself,

"The Joker? The true home? "

"Don't stress out, big brother, things are starting to make sense, at last, we will personally clarify the current situation for you, once it is all come in a straight stacking until then, why don't you first rest, brother? " she beamed...

*Present-day, The maze of onyx*

*Splash*

"Huff! Huff!!! "

He jumps out from the thick layers of water that had grasped him under them like a bird in a cage,

Breathing recklessly!

'Aegis is just a story my mother used to tell me as a child, how come I am in aegis?! This must be a dream! ' and punched his fist into the water splashing it out of that bounded area and gritting his teeth together,

'But it's not! '

Abruptly,

"Still trying to figure out who are you? " the voice echoed in the dark ally that lack any visual light but the voice was familiar as the person to whom the voice belong-stepped out of the shades with a hued smile and sparkling neon eyes-

"Mind if I help? "

*Central crown hall, Aegis*

It was a rather ravished place, like a castle made in heaven- of the white marble rocks from tip to toe, with the statues of Greek gods- goddesses posing and playing music.

And this gigantic gallery glanced like it is a museum of artwork from ancient Greece, covered with millions of frescos, mosaics, graffiti, and marouflage of shining pigment of blossoms of springs, where the painting leads to the end of that hall which has a net-like formation to the behind the wall, which was letting in all the light to the hall, of that raised platform like a shrine on the top of the hill encircled with net silk cloth like a veil but... The light which penetrated the hall from behind the hall can clearly shows, there was a figure posing inside calmly and without any activity like a sculpture,

But, as a prick into such a beauty--

*tap tap*

"Your majesty... " the lady with the golden hair who was covered with the thick blood of those cyclops, bend with her whole body to the ground at the utmost center just below that mural of 'The last day of Pompeii '

Finally, a girlish voice came from that veil, which was profound in thought,

"Will the world be simpler...if I wasn't in your life, Asclepius?"

(Asclepius?!)

Golden-headed beauty raises her head to the high with those neon eyes gleaming towards that distant veil and commences with a smile still her weight lying onto her knee and her other hand,

"How come you ask something like this, your majesty? If you weren't in my life then how could I ever be born into this cruel world...Mother?"

And the blood dripped through her jawline onto the white flooring, when she jolted herself to stand on her feet now but, the lady in the veil chuckled and her figure lift from her seating position with her shadow spreading over the gigantic floor,

"This world is vicious but the only way to survive is through power for which either you can kill or get killed without such attitude you will only get engulfed into a big bog"

"What are you trying to imply with your pedagogy? " the blood-soaked beauty questioned in puzzlement without understanding the motive of talk, brushing her hair off her face, however,

The figure drifted the veil from a corner through those thin fingertips revealing a disfigured cheek of that handsome face and those hairs as white as snow held in a 24-carat golden headpiece with a Felice drawn,

"Nothing, I just recall ten years ago, somebody came into this court just like this, drenched in blood, weeping with those blood-short eyes and was crying---"

*Badump ba-dump*

'They killed her! They killed her! '

How vivid it was, even it surprise her?!

The thick blood running through her face, she still could recall those words being cried back, it felt as if it had happened almost a lifetime ago but yet---

"Don't you remember, Asc, that girl have you forgotten her name? "

The agony is still alive,

As she thuds her feet to the ground and draws out her sword in the air with that blue glow,

"Ngh! How can I possibly forget, the day I died? This war, this bloodshed, this apocalypse is all for her! To avenge her! To kill all those who have taken her life, who had taken her away! "

The disfigured-faced lady's pinkish lips curled up looking at the zeal and pain, as she touched her disfigured face-

'To be killed or to kill? Only ever one nuisance got into my hair and I still manage to draw opportunity from the sand...maybe this scar was once a shame but now I will make it a souvenir! '

(But the nuisance has multiplied into... Two oh now it's three!)

"Bring the Joker"

she intonates with a crude look, and gets back inside her translucent tent,

"And All the heaven praise Zeus, shall my daughter, Asclepius gain the victory! "

However, the blood-red-soaked lady with the blue-glowing sword growled-

"Not victory, I want the blood! The blood of her murderer!"

"The blood you are thirst for will only be shed, if once the joker is under our grasp then no one will be spared of the consequences of those dirty work! "

Abruptly hearing this much, the blooded princess, veer around and started to retrace her bloody path back from this gallery, but, the snow-white lady sighed and sit in her initial position, the throne which was made with gold, pondering-

'How propelling?! But, I will handle this one again until I have that dummy, she is going to chip in'

(What if the truth comes out?!)

'Truth?! It has been buried ten years ago,

now the real game shall begin- where all the pawns shall be mine...just a joker and I will be the---'

(Winner ha! you can never be! It's not your destiny! Forget about it! )

Abruptly, she broke into endless laughter, glancing up at the colored ceiling!

"Haha!!! Do you say I can never be the winner and it's my destiny?! Now, I will prove you wrong! All of you are wrong! And I shall write my destiny if not by a hook then with my (own) blood! "
