Chapter 140 Even The Brightest Stars Have Shadows

~Pov mc~ (First person)

My spirit was through the roof, because I was witnessing a miracle. Right in front of me a women was giving birth. In the middle of the street's. What was she thinking. She's a goddess for frick sake. She could just teleport to her realm, why was she doing it here?

Not wanting to see her giving birth I left. But not before noticing someone watching the occasion with lust and interest. But I ultimately decided not to care. Instead I walked down an alley, where I met a group of hooligans. They wore black clothes, specially made for them. White masks with strips of red covered the faces of those who had heads.

" You look rich, come with us if you like your life!" One of the ones wearing a mask said.

" What if I don't?"

" We might just kill you and just use your body to increase our strength, your choice!" Another masked god or goddess said. It seemed less patient then it's friends

" Wow, now I'm scared. Guess I have to go with you all!" I said, almost laughing at them. Sure they were all 12/12 gods and goddesses i can understand where their confidence came from but still. They sure got the shirt straw this time.

" So where you all taking me?"

" You don't need to know that. Just shut up and do as I we say!" One of them said to me and I barley held back my laughter.

" Okey, okey, calm down please. I don't want any trouble." I said. They started leading me to somewhere even more secluded than the alley. Just as I thought we arrived at our destination we teleported.

We appeared in a realm, a private realm to be precise. Perhaps the leader of this groups realm. Or one of theirs. Doesn't really matter.

" I see you have returned and with a new guest." A man said. Unlike the rest he wasn't hidden under a mask, or any other kind of disguise. He was proudly showing his face to me. I could tell two things, one he was ugly and two he was a titan.

" Yes sir. We believe he's a second generation, of some rich god or celestial! Maybe we can use him to get some stuff."

" Let me get this straight you kidnapped this man because you thought he was a second generation?"

" Yes sir." The masked beings said.

" God damnit. Sir Ragnar ignore all of this." The titan said to me. While the other beings around us froze upon hearing what he called me.

" Wait, you're, you're the leader of the pantheon. Why would you let us kidnap you?"

" Because I found it interesting that someone was committing crimes in my pantheon."

" We weren't committing any crimes to be evil. We beed the money."

" Why would you need the so called money?"

" It's to support our group. It's needed! We're planing to make it a police force, the city lacks one and we thought it was a good idea."

" So let me get this right. You committed crimes and threatened people to get money, so you could stop people from doing what you were doing?"

" Okey, I know it sound hypocritical. But we need it! People don't follow the rules in this city. Some are forced to give birth in the center of the city, because it's someones kink. You can't tell me that's okey."

" It isn't, but if it's That big off a problem you should just kill him!"

" It isn't that easy. He works for the owners of this city and they don't care for his mischief as long as he does his job. Sadly for us, he does his job perfectly. The thing is, he has a kink for people being in pain and witnessing child birth is wonderful for him. Due to the pain the goddess goes through. Sometimes he causes the pain himself. The lady you saw outside. She was killed shortly after. Reason being, she wasn't screaming enough. She had her pride to keep, refusing to scream in pain. Not wanting to fuel his addiction."

" Don't get me wrong mister Trozra. I a hundred percent agree with you! But your way of achieving this state, is wrong, stupid and will only hurt you in the future! How about this? I just fund you and let your little group grow. But you will not be the true leader of the group. You all will be working under me. You will be called RSU, standing for Ragthor's Secret Unit. Any questions?"

" How do you know our masters name?" One of them asked me. While the other said.

" Why should we work under you?" Both questioning me obviously.

" Quiet you two. Listen from now on we will work under you sir. But, I can't believe our mission will be simple now! What will we be doing?"

" You will make sure the people in power don't abuse their authority! That will be your only mission! Leave the normal beings to little old me, got it?"

" Yes sir." The titan said to me.

With that I gained my very own unit. Working for the betterment of the pantheon.

~Pov Traquldian~ (Third person)

Years passed and the little creature grew and grew. Soon enough it became the size of the very trees it lived in. But it's appearance was still the same. It had grown into a B rank being. Capable of shattering mountains and using magic. Such as the nightwater. That it was having many troubles with. The friends it had gained didn't know of the power and they said they'd never heard of it. Sadly those friends died four years ago. When the Traquldian was only D rank. After it swore revenge and managed to kill the guilty just a month ago.

Before the creatures friends died, they gave him a name. He would now be known as Traqall. They said it was supposed to represent the family it killed. Traq standing for the race and all, standing for all he killed. At first he didn't like the name, but upon their death he accepted it full heartedly.

Traqall was standing in a forest alone when he saw a smaller version of himself walking through the forest. They were about two and a half meter tall. Around D rank. When he saw them, he froze. He thought he was the only one in his race. But he was wrong. He wasn't alone. He was not alone at all.

The creature met up with four more friends. The classic amount in a hunting group. Traquldian thought to himself, tailing them in hopes of finding the nest. Maybe they could be his new family. Maybe just maybe he could find a home.

He trailed them all the way. They killed some weird animals and dragged the animals towards their nest.

When Traqall saw the nest he got shivers. It was a mountain thousand of meters tall and wide. It had several openings here and their for entry. But it seemed very well guarded. Traquldians hid behind the openings in the cave.

He followed the Traquldians into the caves. Thankfully the opening was big enough for him. It seemed that something was as big as Traqall here.

Traqall tailed them until they dropped of the prey. Then he left the place walking around like he was one of them. He was looking for the queen. To have a full hearted conversation with her. Hopefully gaining the permission to stay.

Many Traquldians looked at him with awe in their eyes. This gave him a bad feeling, like his strength level was rare and he was standing out like a sore thumb. If they were as rare as he thinks. There is a slight chance that one of the many Traquldians will look at him and say.

" I don't recognize you! Are you new here. Traquldian overlord?" A Traquldian bigger then the rest asked. It was a C rank through and through. It terrified him, but he had to think of something.

" Yes, I'm new here! Can you guide me to the queen? I'm supposed to guard her!" He said, in hopes of meeting the queen.

" Of course sir. I will guide you." The C rank Traquldian told him as he started to lead Traqall.

The two walked through the huge tunnels meeting some lesser Traquldians on the way. All seemed respectful of them and moved out of the way. Every time they would be in their way.

The duo reached the queens chamber and it was just as he remembered it. A giant egg, seed. With thousands of roots, connected to the floor, walls and roof.

" You, I don't recognize you. Who are you?" The queen said. But unlike the queen in his home. This one actually spoke, not in the mind. But in the real world. Everyone around could hear her.

" I am Traqall a Traquldian. My nest was one much inferior to this in it's early stages. Because of it's weakness it was destroyed! I have survived for six years on my own. Evolving to this state of power over the years. I thought I was alone in this world until I saw some of your hunters mam. So I thought, why not join them. So, here I am. May I join your colony and lead you towards greatness?"

" This seems a bit to good to be true. Sorry I'm doubting you, but I don't want anything to happen to my children!"

" Don't worry mam, just say what I need to do to urn your trust. I'm plaining to stay here for a while after all."

" Please kill the Chinderu haunting our colony. I've wanted to kill it for a long time. But I can't send out our strongest, as they are guarding the colony. So if you deal with it, it will give me a solid reason ti trust you and for the others to trust you."

" It will be done mam."

[Mission "To trust" has been granted. Reward, "Queens trust"] The system rang out, as he accepted her request.

Traqall left the colony shortly after in search of the Chinderu.

" We can't do this sir. What if the RSU comes after us?"

" Oh chill out, they're just a rumor to scare us in power. Don't worry we have the best security worship points can buy." A man said, while smoking a cigar.

Meanwhile someone was listening to the conversation. He touched his ears and said.

" Sir target confirmed, crime admitted. Awaiting orders." The man whispered.

" Kill!" Was all he heard, before moving. He entered the tightly guarded building. Avoiding the guards attention till he entered the room where the duo had talked. The only one left in the room was the man who advised against their actions.

" Pity the smart also have to die." The man said, before appearing behind his target, smashing his hand through the targets chest.

He wiped his hand clean before entering the next room. Finding the main culprit.

" You have committed treason my friend. Any last words?"

" You can't do this! What do you want, money? We can get you money! Just leave and you'll have everything you've ever wanted. Just forget your mission!"

" Sorry can't do that. I don't take money from evil power hungry men or women!" The assassin said, before appearing behind his target killing him like the first one. He touched his ears and said.

"Mission accomplished!"

"Good return home!" With that he disappeared, like he was never there.

In the morning the guards found the dead bodies and were executed for their failures. This would be another reminder for those in power. Don't break the few rules they're to follow!
