Flash Demise

Thelamia's eyes were widely shocked when she saw the scene that Julieth told Zero she was pregnant.

"So I guess this was how Geno was born."

She was filled with sorrow and disappointment afterwards,

"I never knew Zero became evil and started this crysalis war."

A strong clang was heard from the sphere, as she smacked her head into the sphere. Then, she clenched her fist with swirling regret and guilt,

"I wish I could've done something."

Suddenly, a door opened at the right-side of the wall a bright rays seeped inside the claustrophobic room.

Her head shifted to the side and saw the gallant and composed Zero crossing his arms outside the hallway.

Zero approached her,

"So this is where you've been Thamy. Geno, Julie, and Spheera were looking for you."

He brought out his hand with a cool smile on his face,

"So come along now."

She didn't accept his offer, instead she had the look of rage.

Thereupon, Zero was a little estranged by her behavior,

"What's wrong Thamy?"

Thelamia just snubbed him and went on her way through the illuminated royal hallway.

Zero was just dumbfounded. When he glanced around the secluded room, he saw the sphere glowing bright. There he saw, the footage of his deranged self striking lots of passionate thorns upon his crying Goddess wife Julieth.

He made a deep sigh with a subtle look of heavy anchor on his chest afterwards,

"So that's why."

Returning to Thelamia's instance, she arrived at the queen's quarters.

Julieth was utterly relieved at her desk when she saw her divine friend had returned. There after, she went close to her friend and squeezed her tight,

"Thank goodness you've come back Thamy. Now I should call back my son and Spheera since you're here—."

"Julie? I want to have a private talk with you."

Julieth was suddenpy dumbstruck, but she just agreed withoit any second thought,

"Err okay?"

Julieth stood up and locked the door. Then, she sat beside Thelamia and held her friend's trembling hands with a gentle touch,

"So what's this about Thamy?"

Thelamia was hesitant if she should express her gripes, of what she had witnessed before. Though, soon enough, she spilled the beans and looked at her friend straight in the eye, as she truly pity her,

"Julie...do you hate Zero?"

Julieth just made an endearing smile of a matured maiden of the serene winds,

"No I don't."

Thelamia's ears twitched and her eyes widened as she couldn't believe of what she had heard from her friend. Not much soon, she shook Julieth's shoulders,

"Why don't you hate him Julie?! Didn't he torture you and even...de-defiled your body?! Why Julie why?!"

Julieth witnessed that Thelamia was crying with pity for her. She was boggled in her mind, as her friend knew her life before. Thereon, Julieth came to a decision and just held her friend's shoulders and soothed a relaxing tone,

"So for some reason, I guess you knew my life before I see."

She exhaled the tensions in the air and made a smile of grace,

"Let me tell you more."

Later on, she expressed her past life in vivid colors.

Fragments of memories started to swirl around Thelamia's colorful imagination.

Julieth was cradling a cute baby boy around her arms at the king's twillight chamber. While she was looking at the slumbering baby who had a sprouted hair of black raven's feathers. The winds around them were very soothing along the silent night.

Suddenly, the door slammed open and the dusk of chaos seeped inside and invaded the cozy room.

The stormy gales withered down. Julieth saw the demonic Zero wielding a sword uneathed from the depths of hell in front of the door. More so, it was leaking with the blood of his crushed enemies as well.

Though, Julieth just facepalmed and gave him and despised look of an annoyed mother to her husband,

"Could you sheathe that atrocious thing?! You're scaring our baby..."

Her terrifying husband did as he was told.

Julieth turned to look at him,

"Also, what name did you choose for our baby?"

Zero brought out a scroll and gave it to his wife sitting on the bed cradling their baby.

When Julieth unveiled the contents of the scroll, she read it slowly and surely,

"Ge-no-cide..."

Facepalm and disappointment were the only things she could express,

"Zero...is war and destruction the only thing your mind is full of now?!"

Zero's air of terror was gone and he just made nice gestures of an understanding admirer,

"Yes well, his name is honorng your Goddess title—."

Julieth's eyebrows crossed,

"Stop trying to flatter me! I have enough of your flatteries. Thanks to your flatteries...I GOT PREGNANT!"

The cold air started to simmer down and the dancing fires and swiveling lights started to flash capriciously,

Zero tried to reply back, yet the Goddess's wrath won't stop,

"WE HAVE A BABY NOW! ACT LIKE A RESPONSIBLE FATHER FOR ONCE!"

Julieth just sighed as if she was gonna have a migraine. Zero found an opportunity and made a flimsy smile of a husband to his infuriated wife,

"Julie? Are you still angry at me?"

Julieth couldn't believe as she was just asked an impertinent question and blurted out bullets of fire,

"Well ofcourse!"

She pointed at him straight,

"YOU SCREWED UP OUR SON'S NAME!"

Zero just scratched the back of his head,

"You're angry because of that? And not about the destruction I'm causing?"

His wife just looked away to the midnight wndow, while she had the mask of grave sorrow,

"I am the embodiment of destruction. I already felt that you chose the path of destruction, so I can no longer stop you..."

Then, she looked back to her husband and her head was fuming with rage and irritation once more,

"But me being a mother and you as a father is a different matter! GEEZ!"

The next moment, her baby started to cry, when it heard the angry shout of its mother.

Julieth's mask of anger dispersed. Then, she soothed him with her voice of a maternal maiden of the heavens above,

"Shuuuush shuuush my baby Genocide. Mommy's not angry at yah. It's just your father's being an idiot again."

The baby stopped weeping pathetically and giggled as it was a cute little angel instead.

Zero was just dumbstruck when he saw the sudden reasonable mood swings of his wife,

"I-I see..."

When Thelamia heard those reminiscent fragments from Julieth's mouth, she had mixed emotions. Her face had a grin, yet her eyebrows were twitching non-stop,

"Y-yea, I know that the Goddess of destruction can't interefere with those who chose the path of destruction."

Really now.

After that, Thelamia clasped her hands and tilted her radiant smiling face of surprise,

"But really Julie?! You're acting like a real mother!"

Julieth just flipped her hair fabulously,

"Well I need to, so that my son won't become deranged as his father."

Thelamia wiggled her finger,

"But Julie, I just wanna ask you personally, do you think Geno turned out to be good or bad?"

Julieth was mute for a second and guessed above the clouds of uncertainty,

"I can't reallt say. Although, there was one time that he did something amazing in front of my eyes."

Julieth looked at her dear friend and she told more of her pieces of rivetting nostalgia,

"Let me tell you something about that."

In Julieth's personal akashic records of imagery, Thelamia was imagining a huge cavern. Julieth, young Genocide, and the king of darkness Zero and the black knights were travelling along the tunnel of dimmed rays.

Zero opened up a conversation with his wife,

"So Julie, your informers said that this place was teeming with crysalis crystals. Yet, why would we search here even if we have an abundance at the the fairy woods nearby?"

Julieth just shut her eyes,

"Well my dear Zero, it's because soon, those crystals will be very much depleted. Thanks to your kingdom's rapid progress upon utilizing those crystals like no tomorrow."

Zero just scoffed and grinned as if he doesn't care,

"I see I see."

Though, she was also in her sudden thoughts,

"I wanted to do this too, since I pity the fairy residents at the fairy woods."

The adorable Genocide grabbed his mother's cloak,

"Mom? What's fairy woods?"

Julieth gave her offspring a maiden's smile and pat his head,

"It's where your beautiful fairy friend lived before, my dear Genocide."

Genocide's innocent eyes sparkled,

"Oooh! Can I and my kind fairy friend visit her home mom?!"

Julieth looked uncertain, but she had a smile on her face,

"Uuuuh sure...my dear son...maybe someday?"

Zero went close to his wife's ear, while they were traversing the passage,

"Who's this fairy friend of his?"

Julieth coughed,

"You know, the fairy queen who you've turned into yoir own PERSONAL SLAVE!?"

The black knights coughed as well.

Zero felt a little insulted,

"I didn't turn her into my personal slave. She's just behind bars to be a companion to our son."

He noticed that his wife won't believe his words, so he tried to massage her shoulders and soothed more words seeped in honey,

"Also, the only woman I've ever toiched is you my dear queen."

Julieth was just frustrated by the usual flatteries ofnher husband, but her cheeks were rosy red, aided with a heartlfelt subtle smile as well.

Soon, they arrived at a dead end and one of the knights informed them,

"It's a dead end sire!"

Zero just crossed his arms,

"Yes we could see that."

Zero nodded to his Goddess wife.

Julieth clearly understood of what her lover had meant. Thereupon, she went in front of the dead end and cast oit with her divine hand,

"NYX'S REND!"

Suddenly, the dead end made out of boulders crumbled and a pathway has been unearthed right in front of them.

That moment, Julieth felt a bit weakened and she was about to fall.

"MOM,"

the little Genocide shouted and caught his exhausted diva-like mother.

Julieth made a weak smile to her son,

"It's okay my dear son."

Zero just looked away.

Afterwards, they just continued forward. There were more and more dead ends along the way as they get deeper.

As usual, Julieth used her magic of the heavens in order to unveil the hollowed dead ends. Though, the youthful Genocide's hands was shaking, as he was getting worried for the state of his own mother.

When they arrived at another dead end, one of the knghts pointed at the hollowed corner of the dead end,

"Sire! I could see the shimmering crystals from that hole! The informants were true!"

Zero was hesitiant, but he steeled himself,

"I-I see. Then, my dear Goddess?"

Julieth was about to wither down as her skin was already pale as a white snow, although she still insisted upon doing her purpose. Thereon, she went in front of tge dead end once again.

Little Genocide clenched his fists, he went in front of his mother.

Silence was in the air.

She witnessed that he stretched his arms out wide, as he was a strong willed boy. Julieth asked him,

"What's the matter...my son?"

The kid cried out loud,

"MOM'S TOO TIRED! SHE CAN'T DO THIS ANY LONGER!"

Julieth's core was touched when she heard those brave words from her own child,

"My dear son."

In a snap, she swooped to her son. She hugged him tight, as she was truly a thankful mother to own such an empathic child.

One of the black knights intervened calmly,

"Sire, I think—."

Zero just raised his hand to stop the knight from flapping his mouth. The great overlord witnessed that his Goddess wife had poured out a fragment of joy from her right eye. Afterwards, he shut his eyes for a few seconds in order to decide inside his thoughts.

The knights were hesitant, yet they don't want to intervene with their lord's decision.

Not much soon, Zero opened his eyes and came to a decision,

"We should retreat for now. If our Goddess queen collapses, it'll be our demise."

The knights bowed,

"As you wish our supreme Generia."

Zero crossed his arms and nodded,

"The crysalis expedition can wait."

As for Julieth, she was deep in her wishful thoughts,

"I never knew my son would be worried about me."

The young Genocide looked at the dead end and reached out his hand,

"NYX'S REND!"

In an instant, the dead end was gona and a harvest moon of a crystal cavern was unearthed.

All of them were astounded by the sudden miracle of Genocide.

Zero just grinned,

"Or not."

Afterwards, Julieth was done expressing her flashing pictures of the past.

Thereupon, Thelamia was entirely convinced,

"I see, so Geno loves you that much as a mother huh Julie. Then, he's a good person for me!"

This Goddess is so gullible alright.

Julieth crossed her legs,

"I'd say so, but his father's perversions deeply instilled in him..."

She looked up the ceiling with a smile of endearment,

"Zero, may have tortured me, but he gave me my dear Genocide, so that's why I don't hate him entirely."

Thelamia nodded with an optimistic look,

"Now I understand, I think?"

Suddenly, they saw Spheera and Genocide barged in and broke through the door.

"THAAMMYYYY,"

Spheera cried. Then, it dove and snuggled on top of Thelamia's ripe melon-like peaches of the promising heavens,

"We thought we lost you!"

Thelamia felt relieved that they were filled with worry for her sake, although she was felt a little insulted,

"Geez Spheera, stop treating me like I'm a lost pet! I'm your master for pete's sake!"

Julieth giggled. As she turn to her son, she noticed that Genocide was looking around restlessly,

"What is it my dear son? Missing your personal girls?! Honestly, I never thought that they'd be the ones whoade you into a pervert."

Genocide just grinned and scratched the back of his head,

"No it's that mom."

He crossed his arms,

"I bumped into dad. He told me that I should tell Thamy to meet him in his empty throne room."

Julieth just facepalmed,

"See him Thamy, I'm sure he has something to say to yah. Even if I could feel you hate him now."

Thelamia nodded back. Though, as she went out she had a serious look on her face. When she arrived at the gloriois throne room, Zero was sitting on his throne. Thelamia glanced around and noticed that the lights were dim.

She was filled with rage as the two of them stared at each other face to face.

Zero scratched his lower chin,

"I could feel your hatred and disgust for me Thamy..."

His vacant hand tossed out a golden sword for Thelamia to bear,

"Now, do what you must, forsaken Goddess."
