Chapter 7 - We know he is her´s only child, but is something like that really necessary!?

"So, this is the famous shop of the fate sisters!?" Allan immediately recognized the three women in front of him, even though they wore a kind of turban that hid their entire bodies. They were still figures that all the blessed knew due to the influence the three had.They wore a thick black cloth that covered all their bodies, leaving nothing to be observed.Even so, Allan recognized the three immediately, as these mysterious figures were well known worldwide.The fate sisters!The three were the divinities of reality, possibility, and energy.The names of any of them were unknown, causing everyone to call them Fate Sisters.The reason they were widely known by the blessed and by those who lived in citadels was precisely the place where Allan was now: The shop of fate."They say that the shop is named that way because it can literally alter the destiny of a blessed one," Allan remembered some rumors he had heard in the past about the shop.The rumors said that the fate sisters used their divinity in energy to manipulate the energies of the Gods and build objects. These objects, possessing the energy of some God, had special properties based on the God whose energy was used, transforming them into powerful artifacts for attack, defense, and other purposes.Such objects were called Sacred Treasures and could only be used by the blessed. In addition, the Gods also made available, within the shop of fate, spells for their blessed to buy.Thus, using the blessing halls, the blessed could come to this shop and buy some Treasure or spell, becoming stronger.Because of this and other factors, the blessing halls were so important for the blessed, even after going through the first baptism, since it was through them that it was possible to enter divine dimensions."Thank you very much for accepting me into your shop!" Allan bowed his head to greet the three women in front of him, as it was common knowledge to be cordial with them."They say that some arrogant people were disrespectful to them and ended up never being welcome in the shop of fate again..." Allan shivered just imagining such a thing. 'It would basically be becoming an abandoned again!'Indeed, a terrifying fate for any blessed one, since, with that, he could not get his hands on Treasures and Spells by himself, becoming dependent on other people or black markets. But these two options were far from being viable."You don't need to be so formal with us, Allan Chaos Andromeda." The three voices sounded together, but Allan found it very easy to understand the words, almost as if the three were really made to speak in unison."After so many creations and realities, it is the first time we see a child of Chaos." The three began to walk around Allan, as if they were evaluating a rare piece."Interesting, so that's how the chaos energy works?" Even though it was not possible to see any features of the three, it was still noticeable that they were somehow surprised."Hm?" Allan couldn't understand what they meant, since, even possessing the chaos energy, he hadn't used it yet, and even if he had used it, he wouldn't be able to differentiate it from the others, since he didn't have anything to compare it to. Still, he found that surprising, as he thought that the energy of the source or the chaos energy was nothing more than the combination of the other energies.But it seemed like there was something more."Chaos is a pretty possessive bitch, never letting us mess with the energy of the source before... but maybe that can change now." Excitement was noticeable in the sisters' voices, as they had realized that it might be possible to study that mysterious energy."Really?" Allan didn't know how to respond, as he had only discovered the existence of such a divinity a few hours ago, and, to be honest, he doubted that most of humanity knew about it either. Besides, he was also surprised to be able to talk about another divinity in such a way...'And they actually called a Goddess a possessive bitch?' He couldn't help but be surprised by that, discovering a little more about how the Gods treated each other."Yes, but things may have changed a little now." Again, they looked at Allan as if he were some kind of walking treasure.'Now that she finally accepted a son under her tutelage, she will probably accept more, right?' Just as they spoke in unison, their thoughts were also the same.'Most likely.''So, she will have to grant us some energy to create some treasures, fufufufu.'The three had internal conversations, where the three asked and answered the same thing, transforming that conversation into something more like a very strange monologue."Let's leave that aside for now, let's go to the good part. How much money did that possessive bitch give you? And what kind of blessing do you have?" The three, at that moment, were looking at the center of Allan's soul, and there, a strange rune that they had never seen before was resting.It was the first time the three sisters had seen such a type of rune in the soul of a blessed one, causing them to furrow their eyebrows a little.'It doesn't even resemble the blessings of other divinities.' The rune was much more complex and larger than other divinities left in their children, causing the sisters to have no idea what kind of rune it was.Allan, for his part, decided to be honest, since these women would be the ones to give him a way to become stronger."Hm, I still don't know how much money she gave me, but if I'm not mistaken, the responsibility for the coins is with the guardian angel, right?" He asked, looking at the glowing golden energy sphere that hadn't left his side until now."Flu flu flu." The little creature gave the answer, flying three times around Allan, and magically a kind of leather bag appeared right above him.Seeing that, Allan quickly joined his hands and grabbed the bag, which was a little heavy.'I think it's the first time I've seen a bag so full!' The three fate sisters were curious about the amount of coins inside.It was normal for divinities to favor their favorites, but even for a favorite, that amount was really quite generous.'Well, it's the first time we've seen a firstborn!' Normally, divinities choose to mark multiple organisms at once, causing a firstborn to never have been born before, as several are blessed at once.Allan opened the bag and patiently counted the amount of coins before raising his head once more to the three sisters. That was when he saw the somewhat comical scene of the goddesses trying to peek inside the bag on tiptoes."Ahem, ahem." Deciding to ignore that and pretend nothing had happened for his own safety, Allan coughed to alert the three.Quickly, they returned to their normal position and looked at the boy normally."According to what I counted, there are 10 gold coins, 20 silver coins, and 50 copper coins!" Allan didn't know if that was good or not, since such a thing was not normally discussed among blessed ones.It was almost an unspoken rule not to mention the amount of coins you had to another blessed one, but the reason for that was kind of a mystery to Allan.'Since the one who carries the coins is the guardian angel, it shouldn't be possible to steal any coin from another blessed one!' In theory, it should be impossible to take coins from another blessed one, but there should be some reason why no one told the other the amount of coins they carried.Allan intended to follow this unspoken rule, making an exception for obvious reasons this time."That's incredible. With that, you will be able to buy several things!" Obviously, the three knew that, in theory, it was possible for a user of the chaos energy to use other forms of divine energy, so they knew that Allan would probably spend a lot with them today!'This is unusual!''In fact, we've never seen someone with so much money on their first visit!'Inside, the three were shocked at how favored Allan was by the Goddess of chaos.'I never imagined that of that possessive bitch!'Without knowing what the three were thinking, Allan now explained what his blessing was to the three."My blessing is called 4 generals of the shadows. I can 'keep' a loyal follower of any divinity within each of my shadows, and these followers will serve as a kind of guardian for me." Allan explained what he had understood about his own blessing, which went beyond what the Goddess herself had said earlier.What could be considered strange, since he had no information before the baptism, but the information seemed to have gone directly into his head after being reborn.It was as if the blessing itself was passing that information to him..."..." The three sisters just stood in silence, looking at Allan strangely.'I can't see through the veil, but I can tell they're looking at me like I'm some kind of aberration.' Allan was uncomfortable with that look, since they were literally goddesses, and a single breath would be able to eradicate him from existence.They continued to look at him for a few more seconds until they broke the silence."That's ridiculous!" As if they had just processed that, the three shouted in unison, startling Allan. It's worth noting that, from the beginning, the three had maintained the same calm and tranquil tone, but at that moment they were literally screaming!Seeing the three, who had always maintained their composure, acting this way made Allan even more surprised and worried."Loyal followers!? Are you sure about that!? How does that possessive bitch have so many!" The three were simply shocked by the kind of blessing Allan had received.'We know he is her´s only child, but is something like that really necessary!?' They were shocked by the kind of treatment Chaos was giving Allan.
