23 Eve (2/2)
”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, my representative in this rather tiresome game. 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 really are interesting.” She then dragged me to the black obsidian gate where she first made her reappearance from, and then, she followed.
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? *Sigh*...Whatever. 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. ”
”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?
”My my. Calm down.” She then raised her right hand and caused a large echoing flicker. As the echo began to silence, a calm and soothing claret light then radiated from above which severed the thick darkness that engulfed the vast emptiness prior. I looked and there, were giant crimson crystal clear chandeliers unfathomable in numbers, which seemed left hanging on nothing but a cloud of light. The floor was very ambient and beautiful. The tile-design took the perfect pattern of a chessboard as far as the eye could see. In the distance was a staircase laid with fine maroon linen leading to a noble throne with a medieval theme and at the back was a gargantuan painting that depicts Eve in the garden of Eden eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge with a fiery red basilisk serving as her crown. And in the throne, Lacrimosa began perching, with both of her arms laid on the porcelain-colored manchettes. It's a pretty minimalist place. But, I was wrong about one thing though...
Calling it cliche.
