Chapter Two: Outlaws
-
“Which is why you need to remain under control. I planted you here for a reason. I know that I can trust you with my secrets, I just don’t know if I can trust you to carry out my wishes. This gala tonight proved your allegiance to our cause, but Im going to have to ask you to take a step back. You aren’t meant to enjoy this; this is simply what is necessary. I wouldn’t even work with Midzog, except that I deliberately don’t trust him if he is not under my watch. That, and he is extremely… Persuasive. And efficient. We are building a new world. But we musn’t forget the old one.”

Rose grinned at Malice and shook her head, “That is true, however, Heiklm knows better, I am a sorceress, however much I wish to deny it, and due to my summoning of him, he is bound by this contract. Those he summoned are bound as well since he used my energy to summon them.”
Heiklm appeared in the room bloodied and grinning, “The job is done,” Rose nodded as she closed her eyes a bit tired, “You’ve cleaned up as well? The children are free?” Heiklm nodded. “Then show me to them and I will reward you,” Rose turned to Malice, “Sorry, but I must go now, don’t tell the others.” Heiklm bowed down and kissed Rose’s hand as they both disappeared.

“And not exactly gods, persay. A council, of which I am a member. Well, Odysseus was, but I essentially replaced him. A council overseen by the arbitrator of the entire Universe. And an even higher power lies above Him. Think of it as Necessity. As Fate. He is bound by restrictions… That carry over to us. We are going to fix what went wrong with the world. Make it a better place…”
-
Malice nods watching them disappear .

Faye calms herself down, letting out a deep breath, “I see…” She looks up at Ozymandias-Odysseus, her face now calm, “Thank you, sir. I will not let you down and I’ll…calm down.”
She switches her form back to Kika and smiles, “But when the day comes, just say the word…they’ll be gone.” The day they defeat gods…that will be a true day of glory for all of the new worlds…
-
“And there’s only one way to fix the Universe… Odysseus would not approve, but he is blind!”
-
Ozymandias’ eyes turn to their original hue, leaving Ody. “Oh, hello Kika. What was I going to discuss with you? I forgot. We must go to the others.” Odysseus gets out of bed, puts on his coat, and steps into the hallway.
-
Another tarot card pops out of the sphere, depicting Janus… The two-faced god.
-
Kika smiles at Ody and follows him, picking up her bag of equipment on the way out, “Glad to see you’re feeling better Odysseus. Hey, did SAL get my note?”
-
Rose and Heiklm gathered up the children, most were unharmed due to them just arriving, the ones that were not lucky were either given salvation or new hope. Rose spent her time coaxing the kids and calming them down.
As she finally calmed them all down a small spell was used to put them to rest. As soon as the last child was in the spell induced sleep Heiklm attacked her. Rose stood still as Heiklm took her blood, a sorcerers blood was more potent than normal beings and it was the only payment Heiklm accepted. Rose only smiled as her eyes started closing, a much needed rest taking over her as Heiklm captured her. “Tell Malice I may be late, then you may go…” Rose curled up next to a child as Heiklm put her down and appeared next to Malice.
-
Malice looks at Heiklm.
-
Heiklm eyes Parapara and Mimi before bowing to Malice, “My master says that she will be late in coming back. Any reply you wish to relay?” Heiklm licked Rose’s blood off of his fingers as he asked.
-
Apollo, who missed a lot, stands there, staring blankly at Ozymandias.
“Hi.”
-
Parapara and Mimi stares at Heiklm, “Ah I see~, no I have no reply”
-
Kika looks at Apollo and waves at him, still having on the fancy green dress and the matching shoes, “Hey again!”
