Sand ruffled across Eve's sandals, but she did not shake it off. She
was busy with other things, her eyes darting from side to side of the
marketplace. The taller figure looked down at her, the sunlight glinting
off of his navy eyes. Both of them ignored the rich goods surrounding them,
from fruits to exotic animals, from jewelry to clothing. Chaos' face had an
expression of boredom on it, and Eve was just fidgeting.
"Does it bother you that much?" asked Chaos as he slightly turned his head towards the elegant woman beside him, "To be the reincarnation of a goddess?" Eve stayed silent as her eyes followed a small scarab beetle crawling across the sand. Chaos lifted his nose somewhat into the air at being ignored, and let his air out in a huff.
"There are some good things to being an entity, you know. Your body has not aged past the human state of a twenty-two year old. Normally, a lot of cats would be dead at your age," said Chaos, the words rolling lazily off of his tongue.
"Are you calling me old?" asked Eve as she stood firm, her ebony hair swishing in front of her shoulders from the sudden stop of motion.
"You have no idea, Eve," said Chaos, "I haven't bothered to continue counting the years on my life, too much hassle, and not enough candles in the world." Chaos chuckled a bit, which caused a few women in the streets to stop walking, and instead lazily put one foot in front of the other, in a swoon.
Genie was watching Eve and Chaos through binoculars.
"I'm starting to not trust that Uzebu guy," said Genie, an eyebrow raising, "I could've sworn I've heard that voice of his somewhere before!" Genie raised a plump finger to his chin and let his eyes examine Uzebu fully.
"Hold on, buddy!" exclaimed Genie as he looked at Uzebu's hair. Genie flew down and appeared in front of the stunned entities.
"Zebu Man! How on EARTH did you get your hair that lovely shade of royal blue?!" Genie let his fingertips run through Chaos' long hair as he gawked with wonder. Chaos firmly pushed Genie's hand away and sighed, an amused expression on his face.
"It's just natural, I suppose, Genie," uttered Chaos as his body started to disappear before Genie's eyes.
"Uh, Uzebu, did someone have a little invisible ink spill there?" asked Genie as he waved his hand through the space where Chaos' body used to be.
"Silly Genie! Do you not remember the cat who has more power than a 'room full of genies'?" Genie let his beard twist in his finger as he mumbled, "Well, yeah, I remember but what does he- HOT PATOOTIE! CHAOS!" Chaos lifted his eyebrows up and down as an answer to his name as his face disappeared, only his navy eyes looking at the baffled genie. Soon, the navy eyes disappeared as well, and were replaced by round yellow eyes that still looked at the genie. Soon, the tall prince was replaced by a blue cat with navy wings.
"Hello, Genie. miss me?" Chaos grinned, showing his shining fangs.
"It wasn't me! This place hasn't been redundant! I swear this place is still unusual and interesting!" Genie got on his knees and banged his head on the sandy ground, obviously upset at Chaos' presence.
"Well, what a warm welcome," said Chaos as he lazily rolled his eyes, "You really know how to make a cat feel warm and tingly inside." Genie sighed and stood up, dusting off his pants, "So, what made you decide to show up, Chaos?"
"Why, Bastet, of course. or you would probably know her better as Eve: The Human-Eating Feline." Chaos chuckled while Genie did a double take.
"Hold on, mister! Eve is just a little lady!"
"It's very interesting to know the truth, sometimes more interesting than a little white lie." Chaos reached his paws around Eve's neck, and before Eve's hand could shoo him away, Chaos had successfully turned the collar to the left. Eve's eyes snapped open, and her hair frizzed a bit, before a loud screech came from her mouth. The process of her turning into a human suddenly hit reverse, and soon Eve was only an exhausted cat.
"Yikes! She's a winged cat!" Genie gasped, letting his jaw crash to the sandy ground.
"It's like I said," said Chaos as he smirked, raising his eyebrows in sadistic glee, "She's the one who tried to attack Jasmine. It's all right though. as long as no one else knows, it doesn't really matter." Eve looked at Chaos in confusion. Genie tilted his head and said, "Do you expect me to not tell Al about this?"
"Oh? You want to?" Chaos' grin widened- he knew that this would happen. Before the Genie could answer, he stood still; in fact everything stood still. Even the wind moving the sand across the ground stood suspended in air. No sound existed. Everything was utterly silent. This was an experience Eve had never experienced before, so she unwillingly started to tremble.
"Well? Impressed yet?" Chaos raised his eyebrows up and down again, and Eve looked away.
"You really are as powerful as Genie said, aren't you?" Eve let her feline murrs come out softly, so Chaos couldn't hear how frightened she was starting to get, "You sadistic winged purple-striped Cheshire Cat!" When Eve looked up again, Chaos was glaring at her.
"Repeat that again?" asked Chaos, his voice low with temperamental rumbling. Eve was afraid, but she would not give in to the magical creature leering in front of her. So her eyes narrowed and she said bravely, "You are sadistic!"
"Does it bother you that much?" asked Chaos as he slightly turned his head towards the elegant woman beside him, "To be the reincarnation of a goddess?" Eve stayed silent as her eyes followed a small scarab beetle crawling across the sand. Chaos lifted his nose somewhat into the air at being ignored, and let his air out in a huff.
