Spirit of chaos
Clive has taken Apollo captive. Apollo tried to resist but his own soldiers stood against him. Because they were afraid of Clive and wanted to at least protect themselves. If they caught Apollo and handed him to Clive, Clive would let them leave.
They fought against Apollo and captured him while suffering some casualties. But the majority could safely escape.
"What should I do now?"
Clive asks himself. He did it on a whim so he has no concrete plan. Apollo is half unconscious and injured.
But Clive picks him up on his shoulder like a sack of potato and heal him a bit. That stopped his bleeding.
Clive then opens a portal and goes in. He exits the portal and finds himself in front of a grandiose castle like building. But it is white and has many people around.
Clive walks to the front door but the guards stop him.
"Halt! State your intention. Why are hauling an unconscious man?"
But Clive did nothing. He just glared at them and they backed off. His intimidation was too much for them. They almost fainted but held on somehow.
Clive held back a lot as well. Because he had killed people by just hitting them with his bloodlust. He made sure not to kill them.
Clive could have pushed the door open but he chose to kick it open. The doors broke and went flying pushing aside everything, opening a path for Clive. The people inside were very perplexed by this sudden development.
The people sitting inside were startled and some were injured due to the flying doors. The priest like person rushed towards Clive with a very angry face. But before he could come near him, he stopped in his tracks.
Clive is letting out slight bloodlust. Just enough to keep anyone away. As humans are also animals, they know that going near him now is inviting death.
He walks through the crowd and puts Apollo down. Then a wooden cross appears and Apollo is now tied to that cross. His hand and feet have been constrained to the cross. Although he is unconscious, his face is being held up by Clive.
So everyone can get a better look. Then Clive stands on the elevated floor and starts.
"Good citizens of this kingdom, my name is Clive Belmont."
This is being broadcast to the entire capital. There are big floating screens which is broadcasting this in real time.
The entire capital is confused. But they can not ignore this incident either.
"I may be an unknown figure to all of you but this man should be known to all."
Apollo's face appears clearly. Everyone knows Apollo because he is famous for his exploits. Every human knows who Apollo is.
"This man has caused troubles for me a number of times. Even today, he attacked me with two hundred thousand divine soldiers and other gods.
But I have vanquished all of them and have taken this man captive."
Clive solemnly says that. But everyone is skeptical. Well, it's a normal reaction. Who would believe someone who is saying that he fought a god and worse, a divine army and vanquished them? No human can do that.
"If you are skeptical of this man's identity then I will prove it to you."
Clive looks for someone to confirm that it was indeed Apollo. He sees the priest cowering at a corner. So he brings the priest towards him.
It's telekinesis. A simple trick for someone like Clive.
"Take a good look and confirm if it's Apollo or not."
The priest was on the verge of fainting. So Clive stabilized his mind. He can't have the priest faint on him.
The priest felt calm. He took a deep breath and confirmed that it was indeed Apollo himself.
The general public started panicking. Chaos is engulfing the capital. The pope has ordered the Knight Templars to protect Apollo from Clive.
Soon the templars faced Clive in order to free Apollo. But it was all in vain. The templars numbered in hundreds. Only six hundred to be precise. Clive decimated them.
He didn't use magic or
The fight was broadcast as well. Everyone saw how brutal he is. He didn't hesitate even for a moment. He just kicked and punched everyone in front of him.
Many died from this. But Clive was kind enough to bring them back from the dead. All of this was shown to the entire capital.
Of course his family is also watching. They are as confused as everyone else. They felt nothing wrong from Clive. But his actions are contradicting his vision.
"Guess we should go and bring him back." (Aura)
"We should. If this goes on, master will probably do something even crazier and it would get out of hand." (Hazel)
"It already is out of hand. My father is probably panicking right now. And he even has Apollo as a captive. That won't be good for our kingdom." (Fay)
"But I am feeling a different power from him. This isn't our normal master. Something is different about him." (Aera)
They are searching for the answer. Why is Clive acting differently today?
"Why shouldn't we ask someone who knows the answer?" (Eden)
Eden suggests. She was reading a book and looking at the projection.
"Ahh..we should ask Samantha. She probably knows about it." (Hazel)
Aera contacts Samantha and she appears. She doesn't answer over the telepathic line and just appears in front of them.
"I know your question. I was on my way here anyway. It just took a little longer than usual to stall my attendants." (Samantha)
She heaves a big sigh and sits next to Eden.
"Clive has three titles. Three independent authorities. He is the harbinger of death, chaos and darkness. Meaning he has 3 different abilities and jobs. Today, he is acting as the harbinger of chaos. I have to say that he is doing a pretty good job, spreading chaos into this town." (Samantha)
"Stop him. This is going to create problems for all of us." (Fay)
"I know. Chaos is an uncertain situation. No one can dictate his actions in this situation. So we have to just seal his
They think. Currently Clive has 9 direct dependents. His
"How about we exclude Eden and Tiana? They won't be able to withstand the strain." (Aura)
"Yeah. I will seal his
Eden did not make a ruckus. But Tiana was fuming. And after the seal was done, Clive looked a little sleepy.
"I will go and retrieve that idiot. I will try to manipulate this situation as best as I can." (Samantha)
That's how the unbelievable situation became a dream that the entire capital shared. But Apollo remembers every last minute of it. So he will be back to apologize to Clive in earnest. And Clive has fallen asleep to recover.
Chaos is a dangerous power. Clive will need more mastery of
