Chapter 12 - Meaningful Events

A woman stood at 6'5" with a perfectly sculpted body, and pink glowing eyes. She wore pink silk clothes that glowed with an almost imperceptible hint of Magic that revealed their true form - heavy battle armor.

The woman was a god by the name of Eris, and she owned the world that Gore lived on. 

Eris lived a blissful life in her castle she had built on the very tip of her world. She interjected in her world when she wanted, lazed about when she wanted, visited other gods on other planets for tea parties and other things… 

Everything should have been perfect for her, but it was not. She was pissed. She clenched her fist as she sat cross legged on her couch. "The giant with the absurd name of Gore found two of the ancient Awakener Mana stones… I thought killing those bastards would be enough, but after all these years… Another has popped up. I should just create a portal and cut his head off!"

She clenched her fist and made a motion with an invisible knife across her throat. A little smile slid across her face. "Yes, I think I will kill him."

Suddenly, a white portal opened up and another woman stepped into the room, clothed in white velvet. The Woman had piercing white eyes that glowed like rough quartz, she stood at 5'8", her body was alluring and perfect in every manner. She was the Creator Gore had seen in his Soul space.

The Creator sighed as she stepped near Eris elegantly and set herself down on the couch adjacent to Eris. "Now Eris, you and I have known each other a long time, haven't we?"

Eris blinked and then raised an eyebrow. "What do you want…"

The Creator chuckled. "Oh my, a little sassy today, aren't we? You are my servant, and you will obey me. I gave you this world in a contractual agreement after all."

The Creator ran her small white hand through her hair slowly and deliberately. "See, I know you. I know you want to kill the giant by the name of Gore. Well, I won't allow it. He has a strong will. I want him to become a god. You must not kill or harm him. You can interfere with him indirectly… You can yell at him from a distance… For all I care, you could have sex with him since you love doing that… Just don't kill or harm him."

Eris' eyes became slitted. "Why are you protecting him? You know this is going to ruin my world if he gains the power of a god and messes with my mortals…"

The Creator laughed. "That's your problem. You kept them all in the dark ages. Now that one of them has found the light after so long… You can't kill Gore to fix your problem like you did with all the others."

Eris sighed. "Be more reasonable, can't you give me something to work with?!"

The Creator grinned. "Yes, since you are asking nicely this time, I will help you out… When Gore becomes a god, I will make him create a contract with me or I will kill him. I will give him a little planet known as Earth. If you want to expedite the process, you could just give him all the Mana he needs to become a god."

Eris rubbed her head as her brain spun on overdrive. "So, you're saying that I can use outside forces to try to kill him, right?"

"Correct."

Eris rubbed her hands together as a smile formed on her face. "Alright then Ms. Creator… I will do what you want. I will follow your rules."

The Creator chuckled. "Like you had a choice in the matter…"

The Creator stood up and then spun around as she opened a portal. She raised her hand right before she stepped through the portal. "Tadoo Eris, have fun!"

As the Creator vanished, Eris stood up and tossed her red hair back into the air. "I could open a portal, but I haven't flown around my world in some time."

Eris began to float into the air. As she did, a glowing purple bubble formed of Mana appeared around her. It was a phase shield. As she shot through the wall of her castle, the bubble of Mana helped her phase through the wall without ruining anything. 

As she flew past her castle, she quickly shot past the rocky beach of her island. In the sea, there was an enormous wall that spanned the entirety of her island. Upon the colossal wall were millions of bleached white skeletons holding bows and arrows. All of them had a little bit of Mana. 

Eris ignored the skeletons as she sped up. If her body had been hitting the atmosphere, she would have been going nearly at the speed of light… The universal limitation, without Magic.

Within minutes, she was hovering over the capital city of Alios, Etin. She shot down and phased through the walls of the palace. Within seconds, she stood before the king of Alios. 

Her purple bubble did not vanish. The king was very surprised at the appearance of Eris, even though she had appeared before him in the past. The king didn't mind that he couldn't hear Eris either. Her words were lost to the king as she began a lengthy speech.

The king pointed to his ear five times before Eris realized that she had not canceled her phase bubble. 

"Ahem… Tyros, I was saying that Duke Linos of the kingdom Veros is heading towards the nearest castle that you boys recently captured… I'm not telling you this for any reason other than the fact that I want you to mobilize every single Aura knight… Even the sword saint to the castle. I want you to kill a man for me. He is a giant by the name of Gore."

Tyros nodded slowly. "Okay, thank you for the information… Is this giant so dangerous that you would not be able to beat him?"

Eris spat in front of the king in clear distaste and annoyance. "Fucking no! He is on the level of your sword saint at best. If Gore killed the sword saint, maybe he would be worth it…"

Tyros began to sweat a little when Eris cursed at him, but he wasn't that spineless. "So, is there a reason then?"

Eris' eyes burned violet as she gazed into Tyros' eyes. "If you don't kill that man, I will pop your head like a grape. Yours is not to ask why. You will do or die!"

She opened a purple portal and then quickly strode through it. As she stepped out and back into her castle, she plopped down against her sofa with a frown. "I need to talk to my friends and drink tea with them or I'm going to go stir crazy!!!"

Her screams echoed in the empty marble palace. 

Meanwhile, Tyros stood up from his throne and he began to walk. As he did, he muttered to himself. "That bitch is stupid for a goddess but fuck me if I wasn't stupider. I need to kill that man. I need to kill Gore. I will ride to that castle myself."
