Chereads / GODS Part 1: Black Lights Arc / Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: The Cursed Girl

Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: The Cursed Girl

*Four people are shown together: Frigg, Odin, Thor and Tyr*

Tyr: What are we going to do about this situation?

Odin: We only have the option, to force the entire wall to swear not to harm Balder

Tyr: Do you really think that a simple promise will prevent something from happening?

Odin: It is not a simple promise if we cover it with magic, which would make it an absolute oath

Tyr: I see, the idea isn't so crazy after all

Thor: Father, what should we do?

Odin: Make a list of all objects, animals, people, diseases, weapons, and everything that is capable of harming Balder

Thor: But Father, that's going to take a long time

Odin: No matter how long it takes, we can't let anything happen to Balder, got it?

Thor: Yes, father

Odin: Gather whoever is necessary, but do it quickly

Thor and Tyr: Yes!

Frigg: Dear I see you very upset since Balder has those nightmares.

Odin: An ancient prophecy says that one day the gods will no longer rule over these people, and not only that, there will be millions of deaths of both gods and other creatures. Those legends said that when all the Nordic people cry for a death, winter will be eternal, animals and crops will perish, brothers will kill each other to survive and when the horn that connects the 9 worlds sounds, the end of the age of the gods will begin. And I fear that this legend has a connection with Balder's dreams, so we cannot allow something to happen to him, if he dies, the world will be doomed...

Frigg: It'll be fine, I'm sure we'll get through it

Odin: Thank you...

*Perspective is changed and Eden is shown walking through the city*

Eden: *Think* Even though that place was scary, I can't deny that Hela was much darker. His gaze only transmitted death to me...

*Eden bumps into someone on the way*

Eden: I'm sorry, are you okay?

*Sara is shown*

Eden: *Think* Wait a minute, I know her. Oh yes, it was that girl who was next to Odin

*Sara runs away*

Eden: What's wrong with him?

Salesperson: Hey boy, you better not go near her

Eden: Huh? What do you mean?

Salesman: It is said that this girl is cursed that anyone who is by her side will fall a great curse on her that will torment you throughout your life

Eden: *Think* A Cursed Girl? But there's something that surprises me, if it's cursed, why didn't I perceive any cursed energy in it? What is really going on?

Eden: Thank you for the heads up, sir. By the way, can you sell me one of your fine fabrics?

Seller: Yes, choose the one you like the most

*Several hours pass*

Eden: Thank you for everything

Salesperson: Thanks to you, may it go well for you

Eden: *Think* I've finally finished shopping; I didn't think this was going to take so long.

*Eden manages to see Sara playing with a cat*

*The cat slowly approaches Sarah, but she moves away*

Eden: *Think* What are they doing? Are they... Playing?

Sara: Out, out, don't go near

*The cat keeps getting closer to Sara*

Eden: *Think* No, it's definitely not a game

*Eden takes the cat in his arms*

Eden: Can we know what you do? Why did you behave like this? Are you afraid of cats?

Sara: I... I...

Eden: Come on, pet him, he won't do anything to you

Sara: Stop!

*The cat gets scared and runs away*

Eden: I'm sorry, I just wanted to...

Sara: I don't want to curse anyone... I just want everyone to be safe

Eden: I see. So that's what happens

Sara: Huh?

Eden: It seems that you have isolated yourself by following the opinion of others, whether this is a lie or a truth. It could be said that it is a very noble cause

Sara: What are you saying?

Eden: Could you give me your hand for a moment?

Sara: What? If I touch you, I could...

Eden: Please trust me

*Sara stretches her hand with a little distrust*

*Sarah finally takes Eden's hand and the whole place cracks and a dark and burning place is shown*

Demon: What the hell are you doing here? But more importantly, how were you able to get in?

*The place is rebuilt again and Eden falls to his knees*

Sara: What was that?! Whose was it...

*Eden begins to spit out a large amount of blood*

Sara: Are you okay? I'm sorry, I shouldn't...

Eden: No... it wasn't you... Here's what it means to be cursed

*Sarah is shocked to see the state of Eden*

*After a few minutes Eden leans against a wall next to Sara*

Sara: How did you find out that it wasn't cursed?

Eden: Because I never perceived any evil energy in you. Those people who are cursed produce a particular energy, and I know two of them

Sara: Thank you... It's the first time in so long that I can talk to someone without them walking away

Eden: It's nothing, but there's something I don't understand. Where did that legend come from?

Sara: The truth...

Nai: I was the one who spread the legend, is something wrong?

Eden: Actually, yes. I really want to break your face for making your life unhappy

Nai: Really? I doubt you'll even touch me

Eden: What boring words, it reminds me of a guy just as self-centered as you

Nai: Besides, she deserves every single thing that is said about her, everyone who is close to her dies in very atrocious ways, she is cursed and transmits bad luck to all those who are with her, she deserves nothing more than to be locked up, because even death would be a prize for her

Eden: Now I'm clear, I'm going to break your face

*Eden launches to hit Nai*

*Shu falls in the middle of the two and stops them*

Shu: Enough is enough!

Eden: Shu, but...

Shu: Stop once and for all, the idiot is provoking you, if you do something to him, we will be eliminated, don't get carried away

Eden: Sorry, but he...

Shu: *Shu is very upset* I know everything he said, and I'm the first one who wants to break his face, but now is not the time to do it.

Eden: *Think* Right now it seems that the one who should calm down is you

Nai: *Smiles* It seems that my little trap was unsuccessful, you are smarter than I thought, child prodigy

*Shu's fist brushes against Nai's face*

Shu: You'd better get out of here, you idiot, if he doesn't want me to destroy you completely in our combat

Nai: It seems that you trust the demon a lot, but believe me, our combat will never exist, as your demon will lose

Shu: *Smile* You say that because you don't really know that demon you talk about so much, he really is a monster, while we are talking, he goes on and on evolving, so you must believe me, you must prepare yourself because you are going to have a bad time, because I am going to give you a morbid dance that you will not even know where you are standing

*Shu's completely serious face is shown and Nai is a little nervous*

Nai: Oh, really? Well, I hope to see if your hallucinations are true, child prodigy

Shu: You'll see tomorrow, Nai

*Lightning strikes and Nai disappears from the scene*

Sara: I'm sorry I caused so much inconvenience...

Shu: No, I'm sorry I couldn't do more. I promise next time I'll break his face

Eden: Shu... Do you really think I'll win?

Shu: I don't know, what do you think?

Eden: I... I want to win

Shu: Then do it, Eden Yomi
