Chapter 654: Accidents happen (1/2)
'I might have accidentally opened a portal in the middle of two warring realms…' Ancient symbols and letters flung left to right, '-oh shit,' Gophy's darkened hair landed abruptly, ”-Miira, Intherna, Lilith, could you guys teleport to my location?”
The sunbathing cut short, the three-deity stood on a glass platform in bikinis, ”-Gophy…” said Miira, ”-explain?”
”Here's the short version, I got sleepy during the mana-link. I figured I'd go for some coffee, instead of the shadow and monster realm, I accidentally screwed the spell which in turn, pulled two locations, Odgawoan and the warring underworld of Sydnia under Hades's rule.”
”For the love of God,” facepalmed Miira, ”-we can't undo the spell, the gates already locked and firmed itself. ”
”Should we be scared?” wondered Intherna, ”-I haven't heard of Sydnia like ever.”
”Obviously not,” fired Miira, ”-why would you know of some fallen realm. It's overrun with demons and alternate beings; the exact image of what humans think hell is.”
”Bad…” said Lilith, ”-with multiple gods of the same affiliation, we can't gauge what impact will befall the world.”
”Pops is going to be furious,” said Draconis, ”-Saniata, look, Lady Gophy done goof.”
”I see,” the griffin landed to see the destruction in full detail, ”-who cares,” said she.
”Yeah, who cares,” yawned Gophy, ”-what happened, happened. We can't do help, leave the humans to have fun.”
”Washing your hands already,” Miira's face hung into her palm, ”-honestly…” a chilly gust blew, ”-tis as Saniata said, the problem is theirs. Let's just ignore this ever happened, ok?” a unanimous agreement and the vacation resumed.
The audience froze, tremors were felt, the whole building shook. A bit of dust escaped onto Parker's gelled back black hair.
”Quite the ride,” said nervous laughter, ”-ladies and gentlemen, we'll be back after a short break. We can't ignore safety protocol,” the feed cut. The tremors kept at a milder pace.
”Don't move!” said the producer, ”-earthquake or not, the building is insured from any natural calamity. The audience, remain seated, Parker, go fix your hair, and you two,” he glared, ”-stay right there and don't move.” The vibration pulsed louder and harsher, anxiety in the crowd shown on mystified glances.
*Creek,* cried the building, ”-alright,” said Igna, ”-everyone, please evacuate in an orderly manner.”
”How dare you!” shouted the producer, ”-I decide when this show is over.”
”And I decide when I want to leave,” the confidence in step and body forced a defeated snarl, ”-come on people, would you rather be alive or die in this shitty establishment?”
”We'd rather live!” fired a drunkard man.
”You'll pay dearly for this!”
”Shut up squirt, we're out of here. I hope the show crash and burns, so long,” he flashed the middle finger and left.
”Well everyone,” said the charismatic Parker, ”-I'm back… where's everyone?”
”Left,” replied the producer.
”HOW, I THOUGHT THE BUILDING WAS INSURED!”
”No,” *CRASH,* the well-built set broke, ”-forget it, just get out of here.” Railings swung into the seats, the lights loosened and fell, a moment of doubt and there would have been serious injuries.
Located in Mi's district, a shabby view onto Fuda Mountains caught his eye, '-this presence… its dark, divine, and potent. Has another portal opened?'
An urgent call connected, ”-Master, Éclair reporting; Odgawoan faces a possible annihilation.”
”Coming or not?” said Aceline a few meters forward.
”Go on with the crowd,” returned Igna, ”-here,” the car keys flew across, ”-take that and go home, I have a business to attend to.”
'Ok?'
Through the window, ”-what's the matter?” he leaped to the roof, ”-I sense auras…”
”Tis but the tip,” shouted he, ”-Lady Gophy accidentally linked the portal to the underworld to Odgawoan, safe to say, Hades' minions have swarmed Fuda Mountains.”
”SHE DID WHAT?”
”Also, the goddesses have said the following, '-no way I'm cleaning up a mess I made. The girls and I have decided to boycott and enjoy the beach for a while. Feel free to summon anyone else aside from us, ta-ta and farewell' pretty bad news.”
”Ta-ta and farewell?” he dropped onto the ledge and sat; the legs freely swayed per the winds' whims. ”Éclair, show me a real-time map of the area and the monsters.”
”As you wish,” a blue-hologram hovered above the phone, '-let's see, skeletons have made it past the mountain range. The sun should hamper their movements, the actual gates behind the neighboring range, either climb the guardian or make way through the only available path. One mess into another,' scenarios showed potential outcomes. 'Best case for the country, the invaders can't pass the creek. Worse case, total devastation of the town. Maybe… and just maybe I should sit this one out. Let the Sultrian's deal with the situation,' wings sprouted, '-I have better things to do.'
Deep exhales charred the ground, ”I don't think… RUN!” a simple whistle fried the photographer. Before rose, strange buildings and beautiful forests, air-bound leaches swarmed the edge of Mi's district.
”The tremors are close,” commented a patron of a casual shop.
”I know…” returned the old shopkeeper, ”-been a while since we experienced an earthquake.” *Bang, bang, bang,* gunfire echoed in the distance, ”-someone's trying to get through the border again?”
”Don't think so,” returned the younger patron, ”-guard towers aren't allowed to shoot unless the threat is potentially fatal. Besides, the patrol always cares for visitors.” Curious drivers slowed to peep. None knew of the deadly threat.
”Guard tower one reporting, monsters have broken past defenses, I repeat, monsters have broken past the defenses. Sound the alarm, we need the heroes, magic bullets aren't helping,” voiced an intercepted transmission. 'Sounds like they're having a great time,' the manor waited patiently, Aceline was yet to arrive.
