Will of chaos



Karina and I were on a floor of the Dungeon, before starting I called Alice and Eva too, and following Alice's advice I decided to call my Heroes Lock, Veronica, and Athena. 

Karina had told me to bring my children, but I refused her advice, I would not bring my children here without knowing what will happen, my Familiars, Saints, Priestess, and Heroes are safe in a way, that's because they have a connection with me that allows me to send power to them or use instant teleportation magic to get them out of here. 

I let my sisters know what I was going to do today the same way I let Arash know, but I don't expect any of them to show up. 

"Everyone stay back, just leave me here while you stand back and watch." (I) 

I waited for everyone to be further away, Karina had already left the Dragon Seal nearby, this time I don't need her help since I'm going to use an Awakening Ceremony, I already know what I'm going to give him. 

I look at the Dragon Seal, even though it's a foreign object and it's bigger than me, I still feel like I'm looking in a mirror, the crystal is completely red and I can smell my blood coming from it. 

"We can't get the party started without the main character." (I) 

Once I confirmed that everyone was reasonably far away, I pulled the cocoon from within my Shadow, its size was quite different from when I last saw it in the World Tree Forest, but I already knew that by feeling it inside my shadow. 

Its size now reaching 10 meters, its surface is covered with scales, the red and black lines look more like fur across its surface, and the red tentacles sticking out of its body are now made of blood that become more solid the farther it gets away from the Cocoon with their tips looking like red crystals while the base of the tentacles appear to be made of fresh Blood. 

As soon as I took this thing out of my shadow the weak suction of energy from the surroundings from before coming to my shadow became almost a tornado around the cocoon as the energy from the surroundings began to be sucked in with fervor. 

"Stop you damn sweet tooth, you don't need to gather energy you can't keep, I'll plug the hole you feel right now, so be quiet and wait just a little longer." (I) 

"..." 

I touch the cocoon with no problem, him using one of his tentacles to stroke my hand and the other to stroke my head. 

He still lacks intelligence, but I can feel a powerful instinct in his Aura, I can also feel a lot of myself in him, but that's to be expected, this cocoon was created from my lines, blood, and an original Curse of mine, it also absorbed much of my powers during my evolution and I'm still not even sure who the people my sisters nurtured the cocoon were. 

I'm not sure if he heard and understood my words or could sense my intentions through my Aura since it's so similar to his own Aura, but that doesn't matter now as long as he stops absorbing energy from the surroundings that way, it might harm the Awakening Ceremony. 

I lead him to stand in a position on flat ground, meanwhile, the Dragon Seal stays by my side, at least until I grant it to him in a few moments. 

After that I draw about 100 barrels of my own blood, this is just a precaution as you never know what could happen. 

The Cocoon seems to react to my blood and the Dragon's Seal, but sensing my will or perhaps having heard what I said earlier it fixed where it was, but its tentacles still pointed towards the Dragon's Seal and the barrels of my blood. 

"I think we can start, let's see where this goes..." (I) 

Ding! 

------------------ 

Pov Miriam (??????): 

I was leaving the women's bathroom, the hot showers washing away the training sweat where I release all the frustration and anger burning inside me, fortunately, at this time there are few women here to shower, it leaves me with more silence to think. 

"Good to see you again, General Miriam." (Nara) 

"I'm not a General, just call me Miriam, I can't take these useless titles anymore." (I) 

Usually, I have more patience with these things in the hierarchy knowing that it helps in the organization of the base, even though I don't like these things it is impossible to disregard the efficiency of this pattern. 

But today I'm more impatient than usual, I must admit keeping my temper in check has been more challenging today. 

I look at the woman undressing in front of me, it looks like she is going to shower now, the clothes she is taking off are not standard pilot clothes, they are combat training clothes. 

"How's your new assignment going?" (I) 

"I am honored to be under your direct command and am pleased to be able to receive specialized training for my skills." (Nara) 

"With her prosthetics, direct combat would be disadvantageous, her calm and accuracy as well as her multitasking ability are perfect for a marksman." (I) 

"I won't let you down, ma'am." (Nara) 

"So don't forget to rest, I've heard others say you've cut down on your rest time to put in extra hours of training, that's a silly way of thinking, the rest itself is part of the training as it lets your body and mind in right conditions, so don't make that mistake again." (I) 

"..." (Nara) 

"Ma'am, I... I'm sorry ma'am, I'll take her words seriously from now on." (Nara) 

After saying that she leaves in a hurry, she is someone competent, but she tries too hard. 

After dealing with her I just put my clothes on and head to my quarters, wanted to rest after the meeting earlier in the day where we listened to our messenger's report. 

As soon as I entered my room I throw myself on the bed and take one of my arms to cover my eyes. 

"You don't sleep? Why are you here at this hour?" (I) 

"We received another transmission, this time he contacted us directly with one of the Border City leaders." (Astrid) 

"..." (I) 

I sit up in bed and look at Astrid, skin black with white circuit lines spreading from her eyes to her cheeks and down her neck, those lines connecting all over her body, her hair silver as if it were made of metal, golden eyes with a crystalline iris and triangle-shaped pupils, on his forehead a silver-colored triangular magic crystal. 

One day she didn't look so exotic, she wasn't that pretty either, she took advantage of the various experimental surgeries she developed to fix her appearance as she saw fit. 

"I know I'm pretty, but I don't share your tastes..." (Astrid) 

"Shut up, your jokes are not funny and we share the same tastes just so you know." (I) 

"Now tell me more about the content of the conversation you had and why you didn't tell me about it sooner." (I) 

"We spoke about very few things, it seems his motive was to try to find out more about us but I avoided all problematic questions and he was not able to see me or hear my voice, I did not reveal anything to him but I think he tried to trace the connection Magic." (Astrid) 

"I know, I said this could happen, has the security system I suggested been activated?" (I) 

"Yes and the second signal was activated long enough to warn him of his failed attempt, but that alone demonstrates some of our capability, he at least confirmed our meeting date and location." (Astrid) 

"Where is it? It must be somewhere where they have complete control, at least that's how I would do it if I were in their shoes." (I) 

"I passed the coordinates to your communication system, I also left a copy of our recorded conversation." (Astrid) 

"The most important thing is the date, it will be in 5 days, the place is already specified as I warned." (Astrid) 

"..." (I) 

I have no doubt that she handled it all well, but I still don't like this plan, going to the place of their choice is more than risky, especially since we are suspicious people in their eyes. 

I know we need to show a little vulnerability to have a chance to talk to them, but being vulnerable has been my biggest concern. 

"Have your demands been met?" (I) 

"Yes, otherwise I would have refused, some of these demands are good for their side, so there's no reason for them to refuse." (Astrid) 

"Aside from needing you to finish assembling your elite squadron, we're going to need them there, we may be at an apparent disadvantage in the place you've chosen, but I've made it clear that we won't be defenseless." (Astrid) 

"You didn't have to tell them that." (I) 

"They already expect us to bring people into combat, would saying or not saying it make any difference?" (Astrid) 

"I'm creating new prostheses for you and the people on the list you gave me, but it's still lacking, my field of knowledge about magic and its materials is still far behind." (Astrid) 

"Okay, I already have a new prosthesis, focus on what you're going to say, your words will decide whether we're going to get out of there in a handshake or fight to get you out of there." (I) 

"I hope the first option..." (Astrid) 

"This is a mutual wish..." (I)
