"Hey human, come and look at this! What I see outside is really awesome!!"
Seth yells in Helga's ear and he lifts Helga out of bed. He pulls Helga up to the roof
"Look! Isn't it beautiful?! *He shows the crimson sun that is just rising*"
".... It's just sun... Nothing ordinary with it..."
"I hadn't seen it in a very long time, ehehe, I think I was a little excited... Now I understand why you people love the sun so much... It's so beatiful..."
"... What do you mean by very long time? Isn't the desert generally known for the sun? *Laughs*"
"Actually, yes... But I haven't seen the desert in a long time, and I haven't seen the sun *He speaks in a sad voice*"
"... If you want to tell, you can... You know, right?"
"... *Smiles* That is to say, after Horus overthrew me and took the throne, they delivered me into my brother's hands... Into the hands of Osiris... All this time I was living as a slave with no light... *Pauses for a moment, then sighs as if he wanted to abandon all his pain and sins*"
"Bu-but you are a god! They can't do that to you, isn't that forbidden? So that's a huge insult"
At that moment, Seth takes off his mask for the first time. Helga freezes for a moment in surprise. The man in front of her is so beautiful that Helga doubts for a moment that the man is real. The man's hair is so red that it runs black. His eyes are as red as garnets, except for one thing with gold circles surrounding the colored part of his eyes. The man's eyes are covered with kohl and there is a golden line on his lower lip. The man's burgundy hair ends just below his chin and shines like a jewel with the light of the sunrise
"... Oohh.... I didn't expect you to look like this. Mythology was describing you in such a way that I thought you were ugly..."
Helga is embarrassed to think like this, so she turns her head. There is silence for a while but this is interrupted by Seth's laughter
"Ahh, sorry for laughing so much. But I was guessing. I know how mythology describes me, so it's normal for you to think like that."
"Three days ago, I buried my daughter... She was such a sweet girl... She looked just like her father. *Laughs intermittently*... My husband was a very kind person. He may have looked rude, but he was the kindest person you'd ever see. I never regretted marrying him but I wish we could have spent more time together... He died last year..."
An eerie silence occurs
".... Ahh.... I think I heard something I shouldn't have heard, I'm so sorry *Merlin speaks in a panicked and shy voice*"
"No, it's okay, I already knew you came"
"I'm knew it too... You make a lot of noise when you walk... You'd better not knock your feet on the ground so much while walking because there may be trouble in the future... It's like shouting at enemies and saying I'm here"
"Ahh...I see... I will be more careful in the future *He smiles brightly*"
"As punishment, you have to talk about your past too*Seth taunts Merlin in a friendly way*"
"Well... Actually, there is not much... I got into law school after high school and since then I've just been working... *Thinks* Ahh... Right... I have a fiancé -once upon a time- , I really thought we were going to get married *He grimaces his face with the effect of painful memories*. But she cheated on me and married a rich man... I mean, after school, I just worked, I didn't do much... I didn't actually do anything."
" So you've lived like a weed... Dude... That's sucks..."
"Yea... But not as much as yours..."
"Law school? I thought you were going to be a bird photographer"
"Ahh right... That was my childhood dream but you never know where life will take you"
"That's too bad... "Merlin holding a merlin" *Chuckles* I loved that version of you"
"*Blushes* Do you really remember that day?.. Ahh, seriously, I'd rather you forget about it... *Sighs*"
A green hologramic fairy appears next to Merlin.
(Ahh, you're awake, it's good, the new mission will start soon, so I wanted to check if you got up *Merlin's system speaks in a very polite voice*)
"... *Sighs* Ruh is really a bully..."
Suddenly, Ruh appears in front of Helga
(That's too bad because systems take on the personality of their owners! *He yells at Helga*)
"Haa! How do you show the audacity to yell at me??! *Helga begins to fight with Ruh who is the size of a doll at most*"
"Hey hey! Stop it! It's not funny at all, and we don't have time to fight!!"
Thus, Seth gets involved in the fight. When the three of them are fighting, Merlin turns his head and looks at his system.
"I want to name you. Hmm.... I wonder how it would be... Lua! Yes, I'll call you Lua!"
Lua happily flew around Merlin and landed on his shoulder. At the time, Seth was talking about Armageddon, which had finished fighting with Helga and Ruh.
"What I don't understand is that Armageddon was supposed to start about 1,000 years later. The 'council of hymns' has not even met yet... It's impossible for it to happen so soon..."
"So you mean... Did something cause Armageddon to start early?" Merlin asked in a serious tone.
"But what triggers something like Armageddon?"
There was a long silence after Helga's question.
"I don't know, and it makes me very nervous... I think we have to survive to find the answers. I mean you should survive because I'm immortal. *Winks*"
"Hang on... Wasn't there a cult trying to start Armageddon early?"
"There were, but I seriously don't think they were... After all, they are just a bunch of teenagers"
Helga did not believe Merlin's idea and turned her face to the city with corpses lying on its streets
"I meant the 'followers of Hades'..."
"Wait, does that cult still exist? Wow, the last time I saw them, I was ruling Egypt. Those people turned ancient Greece upside down..."
"I mean they're not bad.. But... You know... They are too rigid and don't want anything to change"
It was clear from Merlin's voice how much he didn't want to talk about it.
"Yea, they're very conservative..."
Helga never took her eyes off the streets of the city as she said this.
"I understand... So you are saying that it can be seriously done—"
Before Seth could finish speaking, a red sign appeared in front of Merlin and Helga with a siren sounding
[Warning: Quest 2 has been shortened by 'admins']
[Quest 2: "I found a river, but not like a river, it goes both down and down to hell and up and up to heaven, it also goes up to Baghdad and London"]
"What is this supposed to be mean?"
Helga was very confused. Merlin whispered something about having no idea what was going on. But on the other hand, Seth was in shock because there was a panel in front of him and he knew exactly what the panel meant
"I know what is this mean..." Seth whispered
