147 Company 1 (2/2)
” I wholeheartedly agree but this information would only be a deterrence for my plans. Rather than helping me in my endeavour, it would be highly detrimental for me to do so. It is of utmost importance to keep my knowledge to a minimum. As for any potential danger that might arise, I am more than confident to be able to preserve this humans life.” The human model proclaimed full of confidence.
” What a brave statement, but how can you make such a broad claim without knowing the details of your task? Without ability, those statements are just empty boasts. Maybe I was in the wrong expecting anything to have changed. You are just as foolish as you used to be. A lowly insect will remain a lowly insect, regardless of how much time passes.”
Yet despite the attack, the Moirai did not seem to react all too much to it on the outside. Though the upcoming words were proven the exact opposite.
” Let me remind me of one thing. Choose your words wisely otherwise you might end up finding yourself unable to utter another word ever again. Others suffered much more for so much less. Take this as my goodwill to you. ”
A hearty laugh escaped from the other Moirai after causing these words.
” Your former behaviour clearly does not suit you and know, that I know that you have not changed I can be certain that I have chosen correctly. Please excuse my rude remarks, but please consider it as a necessary act to draw you out.”
This time it was the other Moirai who laughed, but his laugh was rather cold and callous.
” You are mistaken if you think of me as lenient as the Observer. I neither share the same responsibilities nor the values of his. I, for one, will make you feel the consequences of your actions. But let me give you an example, to make it easier for you to understand.”
A dangerous aura came off from the handsome Moirai as he looked at the other Moirai as if he was about to enjoy himself.
The other Moirai looked at him with happiness oozing out of his every pore.
” As much as I yearn for seeing your example, no is neither the time or place to actually do so. Save your anger, for a better occasion. But let me make amends. Is this enough to compensate for my careless behaviour?” he said with a grin on his face, as he drew out an unconscious player from the void.
It was easy to identify the player right in front of his eyes, as it was the fire mage, that had accompanied him for a few days. Seeing him again under this kind of circumstances was quite a surprise for him.
He would have never expected that something so brazen would be done under the direct supervision of the Observer. This realisation forced him to see the other Moirai currently looking at him in a new light, a much more dangerous light.
” It is fascinating to see, that even you can make that kind of expression when things occur that are outside of your predictions. But do not worry, no God is interested in him. So do you like that gift of mine?”
This was not a gift, but a warning and a blatant threat.
Though this kind of honesty was preferable to those who pretend to be righteous and of noble intent, all the while they were scheming and ready for betrayal at a moments notice.
He had seen too many people of that nature, that is why he enjoyed the presence of those who did not mince any words. With a smile on his face, he replied ”That present is to my liking. Yet it is the idea behind it, which I enjoy the most. He will be of much use to me.”
” Pleasantries aside, I do need to inform you of certain rules you have to abide by. In order to guarantee the things you asked for a certain level of cooperation is required. Should the need arise I might see myself being forced to intervene and that is contrary to both of our desires.”
A short period of silence followed as he waited for the model to reply, but seeing no motion in his face he continued with his monologue.
” Being seated as the last supervisor, the Gods do not place any significance on most of my inhabitants. Their potential is the lowest and they are considered to be expendable. The privileges the Observer offers can not be found here. Except for a select few, that do enjoy some degree of privileges. Beware of implicating those and there should not be a need to for me to act.”
Another short pause followed, in which the spoken words were evaluated. As no reaction followed once again, he decided to raise his voice once more.
” Second and most importantly, please do not try to break through your binds, as this would only generate way too much trouble and attention. But that much should be obvious to you. ”
The other Moirai nodded but did not say another word as he contemplated the words he had heard. The implications of these words were enough to permanently alter some of the plans he had made for the human. It was necessary to avoid conflict between the two of them, that much was more than obvious.
If that came with receiving some information on this new domain prior, then so it shall be. As for the mage that will be the company for the human its purpose was also clear. While, he himself can avoid the attention in their domain, following a mage can be done with ease. This measure was also tolerable albeit a bit tedious to deal with.
Though the biggest concern at this very moment was the human, that did something strange with his stimulated experiences yet again. Dealing with this human posed much more of a challenge, then he could have had imagined it to be.
The mere thought of letting this human decide for himself did only result in more headaches. Alas, there were no right answers.
There was solely one goal.
To surpass Magic.
