Will of chaos

My head was hurting to the point of bursting, but that alone was something I could easily bear, luckily my body wasn’t weakened and my energy wasn’t depleted like on previous occasions.

Sigh

As I breathed a sigh of relief that my condition was so good, I took a look at Veronica being dressed in some leaf clothes that formed directly on her body, it seems that this was Elly’s thing who was the first to appear next to her.

Loki simply took off his half-dressed shirt, not bothering to show his body in public, then put on another shirt that he pulled from his storage item.

I kept seeing Veronica and Loki looking at each other from where I was, then the two smiled almost at the same time, when I thought they were going to start hugging, suddenly the two extend their hands towards each other.

I thought it strange that they tried to use a handshake after being apart for so long, but I soon realized that they weren’t extending their hands to make that common greeting.

The two slap each other’s cheeks at the same time, then a slapping war ensues as they only hit each other’s faces without trying to deflect or protect.

“I think they need a break.” (I)

I look at Karina beside me, she looks at me already knowing what I’m going to ask, so I’m just silent waiting for her answer.

“I know you were going to turn them both into your daughters, but it didn’t work, only Veronica was going to become your daughter of the Dragon bloodline because your Awakening Ceremony has just been performed.” (Karina)

“From the things Nix’s father left behind before he left, I know there were other options besides Hero.” (I)

“But none of them were an option for two people at the same time, it had to be their descendants or Heroes.” (Karina)

Sigh

“Anyway, they are now linked to you.” (Karina)

“…” (I)

It’s not just these two I’m thinking about, I read in the book that Arash left that only a True Dragon Elder or an Emperor like Arash could create Heroes, an elder’s chances of creating a Hero being possible only if he has Divine power, something that I don’t own.

“(You don’t have Divine power, but you have your own Holy Power, you are also a Demigod, we can create a Hero, but it’s not easy.)” (Caitlyn)

“(So what happened here?)” (I)

“(Those two were once Goddesses, their Souls will always be of Divine rank and submitted to you, it was just chance.)” (Caitlyn)

“(As long as it doesn’t get me into trouble, I’ll stop thinking about those things.)” (I)

“Let’s go to them, it looks like it’s over.” (I)

I walk with Karina closer to Veronica and Loki who are puffy in the face from slapping each other and are now hugging each other as their wounds heal rapidly.

“Nice to see you have such a good relationship.” (I)

When I speak, they seem to notice my presence for the first time, then they turn towards me, and Veronica kneels.

“You have my gratitude…” (Veronica) 𝒆𝙣𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝙚𝙩

“Get up, who asked you to get on your knees?” (Loki)

“Loki is right, he doesn’t need to kneel to anyone.” (I)

“If that’s what you want…” (Veronica)

Veronica looks like the typical military man, her movements are stiff and her posture is one of readiness, even her way of speaking is direct.

“(She is the complete opposite of Loki.)” (I)

Loki is chaotic and unpredictable, she has such a broad definition of fun that I prefer not to think about what is included, but Veronica seems to be a straightforward person and rules, I can’t understand why two very different people have such a great bond, maybe it is because of their differences that this bond between them was formed.

“Let me do the introductions.” (Loki)

“On that side, I have a woman whose persistence, stubbornness, and idiocy are the only characteristics I remember, by the way, I liked the name Veronica much more than her previous name.” (Loki)

“Don’t try to insult me in front of good people you crazy person.” (Veronica)

“On the other side we have the cutest, meanest, craziest, happiest, funniest little boy I’ve ever met, Zenos.” (Loki)

“I can’t tell if he’s mocking me or praising me.” (I)

“Knowing her, then I can tell she’s doing both, she’s mocking and praising at the same time.” (Veronica)

“Don’t interrupt my introductions, as I was saying, it may not look like it, but this little boy is a True Dragon, a Vampire Patriarch, a Rising King, and a Demigod.” (Loki)

“Let’s forget about her, my name is Zenos, nice to meet you Veronica.” (I)

“The pleasure is all mine, thank you for saving me from this prison that has kept me alive until today.” (Veronica)

I can understand, even for her who was a Goddess in the past, being confined just a few meters away from the World Tree for thousands of years must have been difficult, even knowing that it was for her own good it’s hard to bear being alone for so long time.

—————

The others join in before long, and I introduce Veronica to my Sisters and Familiars.

As she greeted everyone, I took the liberty of using identification on her, because of our connection it is easy to use, that’s how I saw her titled Fallen Goddess, Goddess of War, Dragon Hero (Zenos), Twin Heroes and many other titles to do with combat or wars.

I was frustrated by her title, I’m sure Loki will have something similar, other than that I ignored the other titles, Loki already told me that she was a Goddess of War, so having so many titles that represent her complete mastery over various types of weapons it’s just normal considering she already hurts one day.

Veronica thanked the World Tree a lot for helping her for so many years, and the same for the Elf Queen and Lorraine.

I still had a headache, so I didn’t want to stay too long and went back to our temporary residence with everyone else while still trying to accept having the Heroes follow me around.

————–

In the middle of that night, I was on the roof of the cabin leaning against one of the branches of the tree we are on top of.

I was looking at the stars while trying to think about the repercussions of having Heroes with me, the problem wasn’t that they were both Heroes, the problem was that they were my Heroes.

“You’re overthinking something simple.” (Natasha)

“Just be happy, the Heroes chosen by a Dragon are different from the Heroes of the Gods.” (Elizabeth)

“A Dragon Hero is weaker than a normal Hero in terms of overall potential, a Dragon Hero only surpasses normal Heroes with their stronger bodies, the rest you’ll see in the next few days.” (Natasha)
