Chereads / Madame Hope: Bridge Between Two Worlds / Chapter 3 - chapter 3 : Boredom

Chapter 3 - chapter 3 : Boredom

The gentle sounds of flowing water relax the atmosphere. We see Aurore sitting at the edge of a brown marble platform in her birthplace. This place is often called by the great beings the second domain of the world. It is indeed in the same world as that of humans, except that it is in another dimension. But unfortunately, no one else has managed to enter this domain except her.

Although she is an all-powerful goddess in the eyes of everyone, she has a weakness that all species share: boredom.

Since she gave her blessing to this man two years ago, she spends her days observing him. She feels everything about him: his secrets, his feelings, his thoughts, except for his urges, which she eventually suppressed by force.

She has learned a lot about the world he lives in, but she regrets something. She chose the worst person to receive her blessing. After two years of observing him, she concludes that he is a madman with twisted thoughts and bearer of stupid ideas that go beyond the limits of humanity. It was one of the reasons why she stopped feeling his urges.

At first, she thought humans were naturally stupid because of this man's actions. But over time, she learned that he was the most special person among all. He was a natural liar who sought to influence everyone at important moments. Even though his actions were beneficial for humanity, his desires were too perverse for her. He indirectly held her power, and she thought she should take her blessing away from him.

But there was always this doubt she had about him since their first encounter. He had a theory that he was the creator himself. After verifying his memories, everything seemed true to her. That's why she kept delaying her idea of reclaiming her lance.

During all this time, this man never sought to contact her further, which greatly displeased her. What concerned him the most during this time was his survival. He never sought to ask his goddess for help.

This man had achieved very few feats, yet he possessed a power with great potential. She was certain he would be the last to use it if she gave the same blessing to the entire world.

As I observe and curse him for his stupidity, the man seems to be preparing something. He starts to spout nonsense during his expedition, he says.

" Believe me, I had a revelation during my sleep. I have something important to announce, prepare yourselves. "

Everyone whispers among themselves:

" He's going to spout nonsense again this time… "

" No, not more nonsense… "

" I hope we'll arrive soon… "

As he prepares his voice, he announces loudly:

" The destination is not far, just two more days of travel. "

The group is still discontent with this news, as usual, since they expect miracles from him. He is the chosen one of their hope, but he hasn't done anything impressive so far.

" That's not the only good news. I have a message from our goddess. She told me that there is a land blessed by her sister. "

The group awakens from their fatigue the moment they hear that there is indeed another goddess who is the sister of their goddess.

" She has a sister ?? "

" What are we waiting for?? Let's go, we must go !!! "

" May she come and bless me with her blessing!!! - says someone, pleading towards the sky. "

Seeing that the crowd is all excited, he says:

" Calm down. I know you all want to be the next to be blessed, but we also have our duty to fulfill. I can only tell you that her name is Mother Nature. We must save her precious lands. "

Then, an old man steps out of the crowd, like an elder who possesses all the wisdom of the ancients. He asks the leader, Rolande:

" Tell me, is she the goddess's elder sister ? "

Rolande, seeing that he is determined to know if she is an elder sister with an imposing appearance, does not hesitate to use his desires to inspire hope. Lies can also be the engine of their efforts. He responds with his most honest smile:

" Yes, she is indeed the elder sister! It is said that she has a strong figure that can be seen from afar, between the two great mountains ! "

He says with all his conviction.

After hearing this confirmation, the old elder tears off his clothes, revealing his well-defined muscles. These torn clothes were composed of many sandbags. It is certain that his muscles were forged after decades of wearing these clothes.

" I who did not believe in the reason why I had to carry all these sandbags because of my family's tradition. I now see the reason for this tradition. All this passing down of tradition for this moment. "

The old man seems to regain all his youthful energy, tightly clenching his raised fists. He announces loudly:

" Come out!!!! My sons, show them all our proud tradition. "

" Yes!!! (in unison) "

They tear off all their clothes, proudly showing their bulging muscles, and form five groups including children and pregnant women. Everything must be for the effort of the goddess's sister.

Seeing such devotion for a new person close to the goddess of hope, Rolande had no choice but to take control of the situation.

" All... "

As Rolande wanted to say something, he was interrupted by the old man, ultra excited by the news:

" My sons, go! Clear the path with the power of our tradition ! "

The sons break down a tree trunk to push the whole group onto it. Then the five sons begin to combo on the tree trunk, a technique for pushing obstacles. Their objective was to use the tree trunk as a cart to descend the hill as quickly as possible.

" Ararararararar !!! "

Rolande didn't even have time to get on the tree trunk before being grabbed by the old man's hand on one of his legs. Before the trunk could slide, the five brothers jump into their places, crushing Rolande, who suffers from the brothers' jealousy of his blessing from the goddess of hope. The old man prepares to shout:

" Prepare for the descent !!! "

Everyone holds tightly to each other, hoping to withstand the force of the descent. Rolande is held by the old man's hand on one of his legs, dragged outside the tree trunk. He sways from left to right, occasionally hitting branches, dirt, and pebbles. But no one worries because he has the physique of a superhuman.

In the end, they arrive safe and sound at the bottom of the hill with a few people slightly injured. Except for Rolande, who, in a pitiful state, says he's fine and will survive. He will take some time to return to his initial state.

The old man hoists Rolande onto his shoulders and asks him:

" Come on!!! Where do we go, Rolande ? "

" ...this way. "

He says, pointing his finger, trembling.

Everyone runs as if hope had given them a new source of energy.

The goddess, seeing such a situation, observes what is happening to him and the others.

She simply says with a smile:

" You deserve it for lying every day, idiot. "

As she continues to watch, a new bubble begins to take shape somewhere far from her in the second domain of the world.
