"..." (me)
My mind was in a whirlwind as a discharge of energy passed through my body, Soul, consciousness, Will and even the Spark of my Existence making everything that consists of me vibrate.
Soon I fell to the ground with many notification screens appearing one after the other as if waiting for me to finish reading a notification before another appeared, each message made my knees go soft as I imagined the scale of what I was reading.
When I reached the end I realized that I had fallen into a trap, I may not be a genius or anything like that, but I am not a complete idiot, I know how to see when I have been thrown into a trap.
Life and Death made me give new names to the twins knowing that this would happen, this Tree of Harmony must also be Freya’s Mother and the oldest Sister of all the Trees in the World, it must have been she who took over Freya’s body and was angry with me earlier.
"What the hell just happened!!" (me)
"..." (Lena/Cortana)
"Are you okay, Zenos?" (Freya)
"No, I’m not okay!" (me)
"I want explanations and I want them NOW!!!" (me)
I was very angry, I don’t like being deceived, I don’t like being used in other people’s years unconsciously like this, I don’t like being put in a position I didn’t want like what happened now.
Seeing my reaction to the twins, they were very calm, which only irritated me more, my Soul that was hurt, was now in an even worse state, honestly my consciousness was flickering as if it could fall unconscious at any moment if Lerner’s concentration.
"Come, I’ll help you..." (Freya)
"..." (me)
Freya helps me stand up with branches that come out of her tree, then tries to lay me down on the couch where we were, but I force myself to stay seated looking at the twins.
"You’re going to talk now or you can get out of here." (me)
"Tarzor, if they remain silent in the next 5 minutes, expel them, the Anomalous Dragons and Lolth!" (me)
"This is going to be difficult, but I’ll try." (Tarzor)
I was furious, not as much as I had been on other occasions in the past, but I was still bubbling with anger at being treated like a pawn in a game that I didn’t realize I was in the middle of. From the twins’ reactions it was more than obvious that they knew what was going on, they chose not to tell me.
"You understand that we are part of this place, don’t you?" (Cortana)
"Even if Tarzor tried to separate us from him, it would hurt him too, not to mention causing an imbalance in this Universe and the creatures that live here." (Cortana)
"Things went more or less as we imagined, we can’t blame him for his anger..." (Lena)
"Tarzor, you can expel them both..." (me)
Ding!
<[ The System warns you not to commit an act that would harm the Natural Cycle ]>
"What disgrace is this!!?" (me)
"He must have received a warning." (Cortana)
"Let’s all calm down, drastic measures are not..." (Lena)
"Tarzor, continue!" (me)
"..." (Tarzor)
"I said continue!!" (me)
"I understand your anger, Zeno." (Tarzor)
"But I’m not one of your Familiars, Heralds or Servants... I’m not obligated to obey you, especially when your decisions are so self-destructive for both of us." (Tarzor)
I couldn’t deny that I was being stupid in my decisions now and that I could be influenced by this anger. I have enough emotional control not to let that happen, but I honestly didn’t want to do that, especially seeing the Twins so calm like that and having even Tarzor against me now wasn’t helping to calm my growing anger.
"Zenos, how about you calm down a little before making a decision that you might regret later. I know you don’t want to harm Tarzor and clearly not just him from what I’m hearing." (Freya)
"..." (me)
"You two should be careful with what you do, better than me, you should understand how unpredictable a Chaos Bearer can be." (Tarzor)
Saying that, the face formed in the space above us fades, but I know that Tarzor is still paying attention to us. We are inside him after all.
"I apologize if our calm appearance may be contributing to your anger, but I don’t know how to fake emotions that I’m not feeling." (Lena)
"We also expected your reaction, not that strong, but expected." (Cortana)
"I still don’t know what’s going on." (Freya)
"Simply put, I was tricked and put in a place where I didn’t want to be with a responsibility that I won’t fulfill, I may also end up killing an envoy of Death later." (me)
I was furious and actually thought about killing the one Death said he was sending later, but all of that was more of a momentary urge fueled by the anger I was feeling than an actual desire, I wouldn’t really kill that envoy and at least Freya knows that, I also don’t think I would be able to kill him, his power wouldn’t be something I could match, Death must know that I would be angry and maybe he’s even watching now.
"Don’t be childish, do you think my sister and I would do anything to harm you or our former counterparts would do such a thing?" (Cortana)
"What happened to you was just an advance of what would happen eventually, the power of Chaos has always been part of the cycle, you understand that." (Lena)
"..." (me)
"Better to ask for forgiveness than permission... that’s a saying from your previous life, from your reaction it’s clear that you would refuse their request if it was told in full." (Cortana)
"Their plan was to add Cortana and me to the Cycle, but they couldn’t do that because we became independent of them, which left you as the first best option." (Lena)
"I don’t know what they said to you, but I’m sure they didn’t lie, at most they chose not to tell the whole truth." (Lena)
"I made a decision based on manipulation, whether I’m being childish or not... whether it would happen sooner or later... none of that matters to me, my anger comes from the fact of their intention!" (me)
"If that’s all you have to say, then it’s best to end this conversation here." (me)
"We’re not trying to justify what happened." (Lena)
"No!? Because that’s what I’m understanding!" (me)
"Maybe it’s better for you to calm down before this conversation, I apologize for this event." (Cortana)
"I apologize too, even though I think this was the best option, I can’t deny our guilt in leaving you in the dark when your intentions in naming us were without ulterior motives." (Lena)
"..." (me)
I was still furious, but at least I heard your apologies, whether they are sincere or not I still have to find out, but I no longer have the will to continue here, looking at Freya, I nodded to her who understands what I want without the need for words.
"I think we can end this here, there will be better times to make up." (Freya)
"Come, I’ll accompany you to a calmer place." (Freya)
The power of space surrounds us and I feel as if I’m being connected to the spatial flow of this universe, so Freya dives with me before we go out to another place, this time a real planet.
Tarzor had already exiled me to what was happening outside and needed to rest before leaving in a few hours.
---------------------
Pov Lena:
After Zenos and Freya disappear, the entire environment around us changes, the space reshapes into a large Dragon face in front of us while Tarzor’s Aura concentrates where we are.
"You did well to apologize, but that won’t be enough, Zenos is the type to hold a grudge." (Tarzor)
"As exaggerated as your reaction was, I still agree with your point of view and I think you two don’t understand what you lost." (Tarzor)
"He’s making a big deal out of this, but I intend to make it up to him, I understand that I’m wrong." (Cortana)
"I wish he would at least understand the need for all of this, we were prepared to create names for ourselves, but when we heard the message of Life and Death..." (me)
"I knew something had happened, I also understood what they wanted, just as I feared... the mistakes must have arisen in many places, that’s why they had to resort to the opportunity when it presented itself before them." (me)
"You have lost his trust in you, so do not expect any kind of cooperation, Zenos is stubborn, unpredictable and hasty... he will not forget this and no kind of compensation will bring his trust in you back." (Tarzor)
"As I said before, a childish act, mistakes associated with Life and Mars can ruin countless Souls in my case." (Cortana)
"I cannot even imagine what happens in the mistakes that Life tries to correct and their repercussions." (me)
"You are forbidden to land on any inhabited planet and I will be keeping a close eye on you." (Tarzor)
Saying this, Tarzor’s face disappeared, then I exchanged a look with my sister, it seemed impossible to make Zenos understand our point of view and I could not deny finding it difficult to understand his point of view.
"That complicates things..." (me)
"That doesn’t change anything, Zenos will forgive us sooner or later, he knows our intentions and will see that our actions are always seeking the best for everyone." (Cortana)
"I agree, but forgiving us is not the same as trusting us again, it refers to how he feels about Life and Death." (me)
"Once we take care of things here, we have to think of a way to resolve everything with him." (me)
