Chapter 4: The Age of Lifeless Beings
No one heard anything of Mithos' plan after that. But Mithos was working on it. In secret, late at night, he would work at making the Church of Martel make everyone the same. History would never forget his name. Slowly, Mithos Yggdrasill split into two personalities. Kratos and Yuan saw it clearly; Mithos didn't even know it was happening.
"Mithos, are you all right?" Yuan asked one morning.
"Yes. I'm fine."
"You look tired. Maybe you should go back to sleep." Kratos said, looking at Mithos.
"No, really, I'm fine," Mithos said, looking between the other Seraphim.
"Have you been getting enough sleep?" Yuan asked, looking worried.
"Yes. I'm fine, really!"
"All right. No need to raise your voice." Kratos shrugged and went back to his coffee.
The rest of the day passed without event, but later that night, Kratos awoke to loud noises from Mithos' room. He met Yuan in the hall on the way.
"Should we find out what he's doing?" Yuan asked. Kratos just raised an eyebrow. "I'll take that as a yes. Let's go." So they went.
When they opened the door, they were greeted with the sight of Mithos hunched over a desk. They watched him for a while, in silence, before he spoke.
"I promised you, Martel. I'll end the injustice." And then he laughed.
Kratos looked at Yuan and both raised their eyebrows. This was not Mithos. Mithos didn't act like that.
They closed the door silently, and then Kratos said, "He's mad."
"His personality has split. He's two different people." Yuan corrected.
"So, the nice one is Mithos…" Kratos began.
"And the evil one, the one in that room, is Yggdrasill." Yuan finished.
"What do we do about it?"
"I don't know, Kratos. I don't know."
The next morning, Mithos looked tired once again.
"Good morning." He yawned.
"Good morning, Mithos." Kratos said.
"Sleep well?" Yuan asked knowingly.
"Huh? Oh! Yeah!"
"Uh-huh. And did you get enough sleep?" Kratos asked, catching on to Yuan's intent.
"Yes." He yawned again.
"Right. Just wondering. You look tired, just like yesterday." Yuan said, smiling slightly. Mithos turned and left.
"You think he's working on his 'age of lifeless beings' project?" Yuan asked.
"That thing he was talking about; getting Martel's Church to make everyone the same? Yes. I think so."
"Think it'll work?"
"Not a chance."
Did i overdo Mithos/Yggdrasill's split personality? Please tell me what I can do to make these chapters better! I have two muses who know nothing about the game, but they're trying, and that's what counts, right? You know where the review button is.
