Chapter 70 - A THOUSAND FEAR (1/2)

When we were young, we were taught the distinction between a hero and a villain, good and evil, savior and the lost cause.

However, what if there was good in evil and the savior himself was the lost cause, who survived? And in the end, the only difference was just whose story was told.

Some people believed that the devil was the villain, and no less about Chaos.

He had walked this realm as the villain that caused so many disasters and brought calamity with every step he took. Misery and the scent of death tainted his very presence.

Yet, he had never asked for any of those, he was made that way. To bring casualties and balance to the world, but he was on the wrong side, in people's eyes.

Thus no one would come to him or even sit next to him even for a moment without shivering in fear.

That was the life that he had to live, as he carried out his task, the reason why he existed, but then… the little wolf came to him and accompanied him during his long journey. She was the only being that wouldn't shy away in his presence.

And what Chaos felt toward that little creature was the only feeling close to affection and love that he knew.

Yet, just like what he was made of, he was the chaos, he brought countless deaths in his wake, including the little wolf's.

One night, when Chaos was staring at the bright moon in the night sky, a young girl, with white hair that covered her naked body, came to him, smiling softly at him, just like the moonlight…

”Who are you?” Chaos had asked her, as she sat down on the ground, her white and long hair pooled around her feet, almost covering her entire body, except for her skinny arms.

”I am Blue.”

Chaos frowned.

”You named me Blue because it's the color of your eyes,” the girl giggled when she saw his expression change.

”No.” Chaos sat up straight, he looked around him and couldn't find the little wolf that always came to him, wagging its tail. ”Where is the wolf?”

”I am the wolf.”

”No, you are not.”

The girl sighed exasperatedly, but then she laughed upon seeing his taut expression.

”The moon goddess let me have this form to be able to talk to you. I asked her, though…” she tilted her head, staring at the moon above them. ”But, it's a secret. Selene said, I am the first shifter.”

”Shifter?” Chaos narrowed his eyes. He had never heard of such a thing.

The girl winked at him playfully. ”Selene's new creation.”

Chaos said nothing about that and kept staring at the girl before his eyes. She looked so beautiful and somehow, he felt connected to her.

Maybe what she said was right. She was indeed the little wolf.

And when Chaos was deep in thought, the girl stood up and walked closer to him, stood right in front of him, as she stared straight in his eyes.

”You have beautiful eyes,” she mumbled and then leaned over to give both of Chaos' eyes a kiss. ”Thank you for letting me stay with you and saving my life.”
