"Let us put our hands together to welcome Commander Íroas!" He exclaimed, sarcasm dripping off every word.
Íroas's POV
Suddenly, I found myself surrounded by the Primordials and the Giant king.Moros (Of fate and doom), Thalassa (Primordial of the sea), Pontus (Primordial of the sea), Tartarus (Primordial of the pit), Erebus (Primordial of darkness), Achlys (Primordial of misery) and Porphyrion (Bane of Zeus).
I was surrounded
I mentally slapped myself. Vlacas!How could you not have thought that this whole thing was a trap.
The monsters parted to form a path.The man swaggered down the aisle as if he was the king of the universe, the commander tailed after him with its head bowed down in respect.
Now that they were closer, I could see more details of them.
The man's hair was pitch black with swirls of different colors in it and his skin was pale, even paler than Hades'.A crown, decorated with many shiny minerals, sat on his head.But his eyes were the most noticeable ones.They were filled with many negative emotions. Anger, hate, jealousy.On the surface of his pure white cloak, murky faces appeared and submerged, pressing against the fabric as if trying to get out.
When I saw the commander clearly, I was confused.
The commander was female
Not that I had problems with the female gender, but I was surprised that someone would recruit a female in the army, much less as a commander, since many of the alien races didn't treat the female gender equally.
She was wearing a black cloak, similar mine but with swirls of purple on it, and pitch, black armor which had the unknown language carved into it.She had a sword sheathed at her waist.
The man came to a stop between Tartarus and Erebus.The commander stood beside the man, slightly behind him though, while continuing to bow her head.Her posture was relaxed but guarded at the same time with one of her hand rested on the hilt of her sword.
I glared at the man.He merely chuckled.
"My dear Commander, you didn't think that all of this would have been a trap?"He sneered,"Then I would have been overestimating you."
"But, my sibling would not have chosen you if you didn't have potential,"He practically spat out 'sibling'.
Wait, sibling?Then does that mean...
My eyes widened in realization.This man, standing in front of me, was Order, sibling of Chaos.
The Destroyer
No, impossible.Chaos said that Order faded a long, long time ago after Chaos fought with them.How...
As if reading my mind, Order chuckled."Looks like someone hasn't been telling the truth,"He smirked,"I can't fade.Destruction is eternal, and so am I.But I guess Chaos didn't want you to worry, eh?"
Why didn't Chaos at least tell us that Order didn't fade, but was actually hiding.Anger started bubblingin my chest, Did they think that we couldn't bare the news?
Order tilted its head slightly."Finally realized that Chaos isn't an actual hero?"Order asked.
No, I can't feel this way towards Chaos now.Order is the real enemy, I reminded myself.
Order strutted towards me and brushed its mouth against my ear."I'll give you a chance.Such a fine hero like you shouldn't be with e, join me in bringing the justice that needs to be brought upon the universe."Order purred,"You can even rule the universe alongside me."
Based on Order's behavior, I assumed she was a female now.
See, like Chaos, who was supposedly a female, but was always mistaken by people in Ancient Greece for being male.So now Chaos has two genders:Male and female.Sometimes, I'll walk into a meeting with a male Chaos sitting on his throne, ready for a hour long meeting, but walk out the room with a female Chaos waving me goodbye.And that caused a lot of chaos.
Male Chaos is more fatherly and stern.While female Chaos is more motherly and humorous.Since Chaos and Order don't have a specific gender, it's safer to call them an 'they'.
Back to the present.
I jerked back.Face contorted into disgust.
"At least Chaos thinks of the innocents, unlike you."I spat out,"A selfish, cold-hearted monster."
