AC: Here's the first chapter.
"Wa- up." Says a voice.
"..."
"You'v- *le"p en**** alre*dy."
"..."
"Yo*'l* die of thi***"
"..."
"Plea** w*ake *p."
"Hum?"
"Good." Says the voice.
A blue mipedian opens his eyes and he looks in front of him. His vision is blurry and he sees only something that looks like vaguely a mipedian.
"Who?" Asks the blue mipedian.
"Me?" Asks the vaguely mipedian.
"Where?"
"Take your time to wake up." Says the voice with compassion.
The blue mipedian stays silent for a minute after this is vision becomes slowly normal.
"Thirsty." Says the blue mipedian.
"Here's some water." Says the voice. He now recognises a female voice.
The blue mipedian takes some water and he drinks it all. He then feels his throat to be better. He closes his eyes for a second and he looks at the mipedian.
She looks at him kindly. She gives him a small smile.
She is a thin mipedian with red scales covering her body. She has small arms and smalls muscles covering her body. She has black long hair. She has a few horns getting out of her head and points to the back. She wears a blue cloak and tissues that cover her breast and let her red belly visible. She also wears a long skirt of blue color like the sky in a beautiful day. Her eyes were blue and there's also a little star on it.
"As for the question you ask...My name is Bastet." Says the female mipedian. "What is your name?"
"My name...I...I...don't know." Says the blue mipedian.
Chaotic: Lineage curse

(I check the opening translation and it's a song of love)
Generation 1: Theb-Saar the sinner
Chapter 1: The judge
"What do you mean?" Asks Bastet.
"I...just can't remember anything at all!" Says the blue mipedian losing his control.
"Calm down...There's nothing to panic about. Your memory will come back eventually." Says Bastet.
The blue mipedian closes his eyes for a moment and think...Some fog letters appear in his mind...He tries passing through it and see the name but he only gets one letter.
"T...It's the only letter of my name I can remember." Says T.
"Alright...You should rest for now...After eating of course." Says Bastet.
They hear someone knocking.
"Must Christ Rosen." Says Bastet.
"Who?" Asks T.
"It's a chaotic player. He's a kind one and he talks with me time to time." Says Bastet.
She walks at the door of her small tent house. She opens it and she sees Christ.
He is a human with peach skin. He is a tall one who has brown short hair. He has green eyes and he looks at Bastet. T thinks he wears very weird clothes. He wears a red flannel T-shirt. He also wears a black drainpipe jean. He also has a blue bandana over his front.
"Hi Bastet!" Says Christ.
"Hi Christ." She answers back.
"Who is that?" Asks Christ who's smiling.
"He's T." Says Bastet.
"T? That's not a full name." He says.
"He has lost his memory." Says Bastet.
T listens to Bastet and he finds her voice lovely. Her voice is pure and sweet like an angel. His heart beat stronger but something stops him...Telling him it is wrong...Like betraying someone.
"I can try to find information in Al Mipedim but I don't think it will be enough." Says Christ.
"So...He has to go there?" Asks Bastet.
"Yes." Says Christ.
"Alright...If I can regain my memory." Says T who listens to them. He stands up and he walks a little before his legs shakes.
"Stop!" Says Bastet. She runs next to him and she puts him back on his bed. "You need to rest for now. You are exhausted."
"...Fine...But when I'm ready...I'll go to that place you talk about." Says T.
"You will not go alone." Says Bastet. "I'll escort you there."
"I'll come with you too T." Says Christ with a smile.
"...Alright." Says T. He sits on the bed Bastet give to him. He receives some soup with noodles and meats. "Thank you."
"You are welcome." Says Bastet. "Christ shows me how to prepare it."
"It's delicious." Says T.
After eating, Christ returns to Chaotic to play the game T does not know about and he decides to sleep.
3 days later
T feels better and he is now full of energy. Bastet gives him some new clothes since his first one has been destroyed. He now only wears a red loincloth and also a pale blue cloak the covers his chest and his back. Christ came back to join them in their journey.
When they get out of the tent, T sees that she is living isolate in the desert. He knows there must be a reason for her to live alone and not in a village or a city. Christ was also wearing a cloak on him to survive the hot sand of the desert. They start walking in the desert for a while and it was very empty. There were a few cacti around them.
They walk silently until Christ can't stand in silence anymore.
"So T...How did you get here?" Asks Christ.
"I...do not know...I just wake up in Bastet home." Says T.
"I found him lying down on the sand near my home...He stays unconscious for a few days. I have to make him drink and it wasn't easy to hydrate you. You were wearing armor but it was too much damage. I've only let you under a simple loincloth for the moment you were sleeping. You were also injured and I've perform...to heal you." Says Bastet.
"I see...Thank you for taking care of me...I am a stranger and you accept to help me without any real reason." Says T.
"It's alright. I've help you because I love helping everyone." Says Bastet.
"That's how I've met her too." Says Christ. "I was searching for a scan in the desert and I've haven't found anything for a while. I was searching and I was starting to have a headache and hallucinating because I was very dehydrated. I was in pain until she sees me and she helps me with a smile. I'm lucky I've meet her and she really has a sweet voice. She saves my life even if she's supposed to not like my kind."
"Why shouldn't we like your kind?" Asks T.
"Because it is forbidden to speak with them. They are stranger to the lands of Perim...We cannot trust them...But...Christ is a very nice guy...I'm sure those rumors are exaggerated." Says Bastet.
"I understand a little...But what is this Chaotic game?" Asks T.
Christ immediately gives T a full explanation of it while he listens to him without interrupting him. Christ speaks like and expert and with passion that doesn't let anyone interrupt him. Bastet gives to T a look that means «you have to ask». After a while, Christ finishes talking and T enjoys a small moment of silence. Suddenly, the ground starts shaking and the group falls on the ground and they look around.
"What is that?!" Shouts Bastet.
"It never happens before!" Shouts Christ.
"What?!" Shouts T.
"It begins since the beam of light strikes on our lands!" Shouts Bastet.
A being gets out of the sand and he looks at the group with his devilish eyes. The group doesn't know what to do and what to say.
"What is that?" Asks T. "What are you talking about?"
The beast was completely dark like a shadow. It seems a little like Drakness but he hasn't a creature of the 4 tribe. He has a chest that seems like a line. He has no legs and appears to be floating in the air. He has a long and sharp fang on his mouth. He has no nose but he has 7 red eyes looking at them. 2 Dark horns are on his head. He is currently floating in the air and seems to be ready to attack the group.
"Explanation later!" Says Bastet.
"This is bad!" Says Christ.
"We have to fight it." Says T.
"How?" She asks. "We can't use our power anymore!"
"? What power?" Asks T.
"The power the tribes have." Says Christ.
"Look out!" Shouts Bastet.
They jump by the side and evade the claw.
T raises his hand and suddenly, a sword appears from nowhere. A gold and silver sword is now in his hand. T looks at it. The sword was in gold and symbols were on it. He recognises the symbol of the butterfly...Rebirth. The blade was very sharp and might kill the beast. A small glimpse of memory enters and disappears. He only has time to see him with the blade before.
The beast opens his mouth and blast a ball of darkness. T instinct moves his arms and he swing against the black blast. He cuts it in 2 and the blast explodes at each of his side.
Bastet and Christ look at him impressed.
Bastet runs by the side of T and she takes out her battle staff.
"Let's fight him together." Says Bastet.
"You know how to fight?" Asks T. "Because I didn't know I can."
"Be ready!" She shouts.
The beast attacks them with his claw and the 2 mipedians dodge it once again. They run at each side of the beast. Bastet jumps in the air and she smashes the head of the beast with her staff. She the turns it to the sharp part and she pierces one of his eyes. The beast shouts in pain and attack her with his head and she crushed on the ground. T was on the other side and he cuts the face of the beast but not deep enough to kill it.
"*Keuf*" Coughs Bastet in pain.
Christ runs at her side and he helps her to move away from the beast. The beast hits T with his claw and slashes his chest. He then throws the blue mipedian on the ground and smokes appear.
"You're not going to win this way." Says a voice.
They see a purple shape that appears in front of the beast. It has a long scythe on his left arm.
"You can't kill a weak beast?" Says the purple thing.
It raises the scythe and throws it to an uninjured eye of the beast. It shouts in pain and the purple thing raises the hands.
"O darkness that sleep within the soul! Come to me and crush my foe with pain!" It shouts.
Darkness appears around the beast and it literally crushes it. The group can hear bones cracking and being destroy and also see hearts of the beast getting out of the darkness and falls at the feet of T.
The darkness disappears and an amount of dark flesh and blood remains, falling on the ground.
"That's how you deal with a weak foe." Says the thing with the weapon returning to his hand and disappears.
The sword of T also disappears.
"Who are you?" Asks Christ.
"...Chaotic player." Says the purple being turning at their direction. It is clear it is unhappy about it.
T and Christ face turns red when they see the thing.
It is a female being who wears absolutely no clothes at all. They see that her body form is similar to a human...Except that her skin is completely purple and her hair seems like smokes of darkness floating in the air. They can also sear her big boobs bouncing in the air and also the rest. Only Bastet sees her dark eyes with yellow pupil.
"What are you doing walking naked around?!" Shouts Bastet.
"Hum...I forgot your kind were...like them...And also the fact that you are prude." Says the purple being pointing at T and Christ who has nose bleeding. She claps her finger and a brown belt thing appears around her breast cover only a small part of it and a very...very short skirt of blue sky color appears. The skirt is so short that the red panties she wears now are visible. She gives the 2 boys watching her warning glare and they stop.
"Who are you?" Asks Bastet while the 2 males recover.
"I am Scythe...I have been choose to be the judge." Says Scythe.
"?" Everyone look at her and does not understand anything at all.
"What do you even mean?" Asks Christ.
"...Alright...I'll explain it since the blue one has forgotten." Says Scythe.
"Call me T for now." Says T.
"Fine...T...He has done something very very bad...He kills one of the cardinals...It is a very grave deadly crime and one of the immediate punishment was to destroy a part of the mipedian territory with the beam of light." Says Scythe.
"The beam that hits here...It's because of him...But why killing one of the...cardinals is such a grave crime?" Asks Bastet.
"I have no obligation to answer that to you." Says Scythe.
"Why are you the judge then?" Asks Christ.
"I am here to watch over T and see if he can reach the redemption...And also...help him giving time to reach redemption himself." Says Scythe.
"What if he fails?" Asks Bastet.
"You better wish he won't." Says Scythe.
...
"So...Anything else you want to share?" Asks Christ.
"2 things. First, I am the one who shall decide if he reaches the redemption or not...For him to reach it...He will have to destroy any creatures that has a shining globe on their chest...The globe of light is the remaining fraction of the body and soul of the cardinal that T has killed by his own hand. If he collects them all...The cardinal can be resurrected and the crime will be...erase...If T fails and he has a descendant...They will have to continue his quest for him." Says Scythe. "You are also curse...Your usual power are seal...You can only count on your battle gear and your strength...And this is for all of Perim being. Second...You better not talk to me chaotic player...I hate your kind."
"We are human...That's the name of our kind." Says Christ.
"Whatever." Says Scythe. "From now on...I am forever near you T...Until you manage to end the sin you have committed."
"I...do not know what you are talking about...But...I feel like I know you are telling the true." Says T.
"One more detail...One of your punishments is that your memory has been erased...You remember how to fight, walk, etc...But all memory that comes from the life you have, family, love, etc...His erase...To your own name...You can try and remember it if you want." Says Scythe. "It doesn't matter what happen now...You cannot escape your destiny given by the remaining cardinals."
"Do you know his name?" Asks Bastet.
"Of course...But do not count on me to say it." Says Scythe.
"That monster that appears...They are more of them?" Asks Christ.
"Yes...A few thousands more. They are here to kill the creatures that live in Perim." Says Scythe. "If you all die...I don't care. I'm just here for my duty."
"Ok..." Says Bastet.
There was a long silence, the 3 are absorbing the information Scythe has bother given to them and after a while, Bastet opens her mouth.
"We should go to Al Mipedim now...Maybe someone knows you and you will regain your memory." She says.
"Alright...Let's continue." Says T.
"Whatever...Wherever you go...I'll be right behind you T...Do not always count on me to protect your sorry lowlife ass." Says Scythe.
T closes his eyes and restrains his anger in him. He then opens his eyes and he continues walking.
They do not know everything Scythe mission is...They do not know how to do it...They do not know who T is...They do not know anything at all. They can only continue walking to a village to rest for the night that is coming.
AC: This is the end of the first chapter. I've reread it a few times but the explanations aren't perfect because of Scythe personality and the fact that she doesn't like explaining everything unless it is important.
Peyton father made is appearance. He will be useful in collecting information.
