Chapter 34
Dusa and soul arrived in the magical domain of the mother of fate where she create and supervise the fate of every living things in the universe.
"...Woah! This place, this place is on a whole new level!" Soul praised the beautiful domain of the mother of fate as she gaze at it. "..wow! What are all this balls?" Soul ask the mother of fate. "...Well they are fate balls, when living being is created, the fate ball comes to existence. It shows the fate of that living being till they dies." The mother of fate explained.
"...Woah! That means i have a fate ball too?" Soul ask her. "...Yes! Princess soul, you have a fate ball too." The mother of fate called her full name. "...You just....nobody have called me that in a long time." Soul said to her. "... It's alright child, don't feel sad." The mother of fate said as she levitate to the top of her domain. "...So can i see my own fate ball?!" Soul shouted to her.
"... Absolutely....not!" The mother of fate said to her, and grab a golden fate ball from the top of her domain. "..why don't you want me to see my own fate ball?" Soul ask her, while Dusa just stare at the two of them.
"...If you see how your fate turns out, they will be some part you wouldn't like, and you will want to change it." The mother of fate said to her as she levitate back to the ground. "... what's so bad if i change my fate?" Soul ask her. "....and besides can't a person change their fate if they don't like the way it turning out to be?" Soul said. "....Like change the bad fate for good fate, and the annoying fate for exciting. All just avoid a fate is you know it's going to lead to your death." Soul bombard the mother of fate with her questions and opinions.
"Hahahaha!" The mother of fate laughs. "...Humans, they really are inquisitive, but your's is in another level." The mother of fate said to Soul. "...i am sorry if i annoyed you with my questions,m great goddess!" Soul said. "...No! No! No! You didn't annoy me with your questions." The mother of fate said to her.
"....Okay! You want to know why you can't look at your own fate ball right?" The mother of fate ask Soul. "Yes!" Soul immediately answer her before she could finish asking the question. "... Dusa do you want to know too?" The mother of fate turn to her ask.
".... Sure why not?" She replied her.
"....Okay! Well... everybody in this world have their own fate. They are different types of fate, but all fate are connected side by side with each other. The reason why you can't change your fate is because if you do this you will change or break the connection each fate has, and it can also change the fate of other people without you knowing." The mother of fate explained to them.
"....so what you are saying is that if i change mine fate from bad to good, i might change another person's fate from good to bad without me knowing?" Soul ask. "...Yes! That's exactly what i am saying." The mother of fate answered.
"..So is it because of Fate Zadre died? Is it because he brought me back, even though it was my fate to die... that's why he also died?" Dusa ask. "... It was you fate to die, and also come back. But it wasn't Zadre fate to die." The mother fate revealed. "... Was it Eros'fate to die too?" Soul asked. "... It was neither their fate to die so young, the reason they died was because they wanted to protect the people they love, and also because of the Evil that was in Aphrodite." The mother of fate revealed to them.
"...Then why did you do anything to stop her from killing them!" Dusa shouted angrily. "...Watch your tone child!" The mother of fate warned her. "...You are the most powerful being in the universe, you could have stop the death of Zadre and Eros from Aphrodite. Why didn't you stop Aphrodite from killing them?" Dusa who was incredibly angry, ask.
"....It didn't want to intervene in the battle within your love ones and Aphrodite because it isn't my place to intervene." The mother of fate gave them a strange answer. "...What do you mean it is not your place? You would have prefer Aphrodite kill us all before you intervene. Well...i shouldn't be surprise. You lend your Powers to the upper gods which they use to kill me!" Dusa said to the mother of fate, and this hurt her.
"...Child I.." the mother of fate wanted to say something but soul cut her word short with her question. "...What is this evil you said was in goddess Aphrodite...great goddess?" Soul ask.
"....That evil is something...." The mother of fate wanted to explain what the evil was to Soul, but Aphrodite's voice came out of nowhere and stopped her from explaining.
"...I think i should be the one to explain to them what the evil is mother." Aphrodite's voice came out of nowhere.
"... Shit!" Soul panicked and then fill arrows into her bow and aim them at Aphrodite. "....You!" Dusa said with a cold tone.
"...Are you sure you want to do this?" The mother of fate ask Aphrodite. "... It's just a explanation, they wouldn't kill me." Aphrodite replied her.
"... Speak for yourself!" Dusa said as she stare at Aphrodite like an hungry lioness.
"...Stop pointing that weak weapon at me. you Mortal!" Aphrodite turn to Soul and said. "...You killed Zadre without any mercy, and you also almost kill me and Dusa. I don't trust you." Soul boldly said to the most powerful goddess in Olympus.
"... Don't make me laugh mortal!" Aphrodite said to Soul as she walk closer to her. "...You know you can't kill me even if you are given all the most powerful weapons in the universe." Aphrodite said to soul as she walked closer to her. "...FOR. EROS . I . WILL. TRY." Soul said to Aphrodite and tears rolled down from her eyes.
"...Oh!" Aphrodite softly said, and walk pass her. Aphrodite was deeply hurt by the death of her child, and she tries to hide it, but the mother of fate knows.
".... don't come close to me!" Dusa said to Aphrodite as she walk closer to her. "...Okay! If that's your wish!" Aphrodite replied her.
"...So great goddess, what's the evil?" Soul ask her while still pointing her arrow at her. ".. firstly!" Aphrodite said and use her magic to vanish all the arrows in Soul's bow back to her quiver. "... Don't point that thing towards me." Aphrodite added after.
"..The evil is a demon or rather a living dangerous being, which have been eating up my hate, anger, and pain, and living inside of me. So, anything i fight or plot against another god, It grow stronger and stronger still it got the energy to consume and take over my entire body." Aphrodite explained to them. "...It was because of the Evil i lost control when i fought you, and also because of it i kill...killed my son." Aphrodite revealed and tears fall down her eyes.
"...Eros!" Soul said softly as tears also gather her eyes too. ".. that's it?" Dusa who wasn't move by what she just said, ask Aphrodite. "... That's what?" Dusa ask her back. "...You killed the love of my life, and threaten to kill his reincarnation just because you were consume by your own evil!" Dusa angrily said, as she walk towards Aphrodite.
"... goddess! I thought you weren't angry with your sister?" Soul try to stop Dusa from fighting with Aphrodite with her question, but she ignored her. "...You killed the love of my life, you killed your own son, and you almost killed me and my reincarnation. You are a bad SISTER!" Dusa shouted as she raise her hands to hit Aphrodite, but she stopped her hands close to her face after realizing that Aphrodite wouldn't defend herself from her attack.
"...What are you doing?!" Dusa shouted to Aphrodite face. "... Wouldn't you fight back?" She ask her, but Aphrodite gave her no reply. "...You don't wanna defend yourself or fight back. Huh?" Dusa shouted, and punch Aphrodite with her a magic fist. "... Fight back, Damnit! I want to fight back!" Dusa shouted again, and blast Dusa in the shoulder with her magic.
"STOP!" Soul shouted as she runs towards Dusa to stop her, but the mother of fate stopped her from moving. "...Are you just going to stand there and watch goddess, Dusa hurt her?" Soul ask the mother of fate. "....They need to do this or else they may not forgive each other." The mother of fate said, and then turn back to watch them.
"... You don't want to defend or fight back huh?" Dusa shouted at her, and blast Aphrodite in her left shoulder. "...I know you are in great pain, and i cause that pain. So pour your anger on me, and i would not mind." Aphrodite said as blood rush down from her mouth, and she falls to the ground. "...You think by doing this i will forgive you for killing Zadre?" Dusa shouted, and conjure up her chains.
"...No!" Soul shouted after seeing Dusa conjure up her spirit weapon. She knows that because of the pain of losing Zadre, Dusa might kill Aphrodite even if she don't want to.
"..You brought out your spirit weapon?" Aphrodite said as she look at her hands. "...You killed Zadre like he was nothing. You never liked him or me or anybody. All you ever liked was yourself, and with or without that Evil in you. I know you would have still kill him." Dusa said to Aphrodite as blades pop out from her chains, and she raised the blade up in order to kill Aphrodite with it.
".. You don't want to defend or fight back... sister?" Dusa ask her while still holding the blades from her chain up top her head. "...Do want you think will ease your pain sister, but before you do it, just know i also lot someone too, and you lied! I don't like only myself. I love my son very much, and he is gone because of my actions." Aphrodite said to Dusa as tears drip down her eyes.
"...Damn YOU!" Dusa shouted, and lift up her blade up high so that she can properly kill Aphrodite. "...No stop!" Soul shouted as she see that Dusa was about to kill Aphrodite. "...Stop them! wouldn't you stop them?" Soul ask the mother of fate, but she ignored her question and watch the scene.
"...Do what you have to, sister!" Aphrodite said as she felt the force of Dusa blade coming towards her head. "... AHHHHH!" Dusa who was frustrated by everything happening, yelled, and drop her chain. "Noo! I am not like you." Dusa said to Aphrodite after dropping her blades. "...I wouldn't let my body, mind, and heart be taken by evil just because of hate." Dusa said to Aphrodite who was now staring at her. "..I forgive you sister, i forgive you for what you did!" Dusa softly said to Aphrodite and she stand up from the ground.
"....No! It's always been a life for a life. So kill me now, I wouldn't hold it against you if you do it." Aphrodite boldly said to Dusa. "..I would never kill my sister." Dusa made it clear to Aphrodite, and was about to walk away from her when Aphrodite hugged her from the back. "....I am really sorry sister, i shouldn't have try to kill you, i would have try to free myself from the control of the EVIL!" Aphrodite apologize to her. "... It's not your fault sister.." Aphrodite said to her, and turn toward her.
"...I am very sorry if i wasn't the type of sister you wanted." Dusa said to Aphrodite. "...No! You are the best sister a goddess like me can never have. If shouldn't have let the upper gods kick you out of Olympus. I also wouldn't have contribute my powers to the creation of the magic that killed you." Aphrodite revealed.
"...The past is the past. I forgive you." Dusa said to Aphrodite, and they both hugged each other for the first time in a million years.
"...They reconcile. They reconcile." Soul said to herself as she watch them hug each other. "...What did i tell you mortal?" The mother of fate softly said to soul. "...come on!" The mother of fate who was about to levitate towards the two sisters stopped moving, and said to soul. "...Okay!" Soul replied her, and slowly walk behind the mother of fate as she levitate towards Dusa and Aphrodite.
"....I am so happy you two made up." The mother of fate said to them. "...Stop it mother, you knew we were going to make up didn't you?" Dusa ask her. "...If i told you i didn't, will you before me?" The mother of fate ask Dusa. "...Wha....what do you mean by that?" Dusa ask her. "... Can't you see?" The mother of fate ask her. "...see what?" Dusa ask her.
"...The mortal! She made all this happened." The mother of fate said to them. "...Me?" Soul ask. "... How did i made goddess Dusa, and goddess Aphrodite make up?" Soul ask the mother of fate. "...Yes mother, how did she?" Aphrodite ask the mother of fate.
"... Question are just flying round the air ain't they?" The mother of fate said, and then close her eyes. "...What is she doing?" Soul ask as she watches the mother of fate close her eyes, and say some quiet spell with her mouth.
"...Here!" The mother of fate said as she open her eyes. "... Here? Where?" Dusa ask the mother of fate. "Hahaha!" The mother of fate laughs. "...close your eyes children, you will see what i want to know you." The mother of fate said and Dusa and Aphrodite immediately close their eyes.
"... You too mortal!" The mother of fate said to Soul. "...Oh Okay!" Soul said and close her eyes.
MINUTES LATER......
"...Woah!" Soul said after opening her eyes. "...All that began, and happened all because of this Mortal?" Dusa ask after opening her eyes.
"...This mortal! So it was all because of fate i knew that mortal and send my son over to her room to shot her with his love arrows. It was all fate!" Aphrodite said to herself after opening her eyes.
"...You now understand?" The mother of fate ask them. "...Was all that part of the prophesy?" Soul shocked the mother of fate with her question.
"...Yes! That prophesy. What is this prophesy and why was me, zadre, she and Eros all part of it?" Dusa ask the mother of fate.
"...I will very much like to know what this Prophesy is, and why me and my son was part of it." Aphrodite also ask the mother of fate.
"...I guess it's time!" The mother of fate said. "... Time for what, mother?" Both Dusa and Aphrodite ask in unison.
"...Time everybody involved in the prophesy knows about the Prophesy." The mother of fate said, and this confused soul, Dusa and Aphrodite.
