23 Eve (2/2)

”Lacrimosa. Care to explain to me the quota?”

”Way to speak for someone who called me a villain.”

”If you have problems with that then-”

”I don't have any objections to that, besides, I like it. The title of a villain more than that of my current title of ”goddess”.

”Hmm. Just don't forget that you have so many things to explain to me later”

While we were still right in the middle of a discussion, we were interrupted by these words that seemed to be an enchanting spell...

”Thou art by the Primordial paradox, I command thee, to strengthen thou blade. Enhance, Velderick's Trancy!” Celes, as she was about to dash forth towards us made her silver sword turn mauve in color and from it, I can feel an ominous power.

”Jaiden, it was nice knowing you. ” With all might, she dashed towards us and was ready to slash me into smithereens. But before the sword could even reach a meter away, Lacrimosa stepped in and opened a dark portal in front of me.

”As my Herrscher. The monochrome in my canvas. Jaiden Cendrillon, I hereby command you to bare a ratio of my power” The goddess ordered. Come to think of it, it's the first time I received a command from her.

”Yes. Your highness.” I answered.

”You are interesting” she then dragged me to the black portal and she followed afterward.

At the slowly closing portal, I can see Celes trying to follow us, but failed as the portal closed in haste.

Inside, I can't see anything. It was too dark. But, around my neck, I can sense the Goddess's embrace. One that is impossible to tell if it is obligatory or just another act to enhance here ”feminine” countenance.

”Hmmm. Can you stop saving me already? It's a little contradictory to my gender equality policies. And please stop your hugging. It's not cute .”

”Not cute you say? Very well said for someone whose flustered. Well in terms of saving you, a Damsel in distress is always ought to be saved by someone more superior”

”Yeah right, and is this someone ”superior” you?. But first thing's first, why did you bring me here? Where is this anyway?”

”Just nothing. It's a realm that I created. I call it ”Eve”.It's where time moves slowly, a second in here is three minutes and a half back at your world. ”

”Oh? So basically, this is a realm that bends the concept of time. How cliche. Moreover, If I must say, this looks like a bedroom of a shut-in NEET. It's pretty dark” In all honesty, all I can see is Lacrimosa from the light that her body seemed to emanate. So Gods are glow in the dark perhaps?
