Chapter 35: Chapter 33: Morality, 1205 BCE

[Inside the Domo, 1205 BCE]

It is nearing the end of the year, me and Thena had come back from our short trip delivering Helen to Sparta, while we didn’t got to the city itself, at least Helen is with her brothers for the rest of the way. I admit, that cat construct, I gave it to her to watch over her, she seemed… sheltered, her father raised her to become a flower of the family, and a prize for the strongest and most powerful man in the entire Greece.

Right now though, I have another problem to deal with. I was now sitting in front of Ajak, her face looked furious, and I just kept a straight face.

Ajak stared at me for a while, before finally speaking. “Do you know what you have done?”

I kept my straight face, and answered. “I do.”

“Tell me what you have done then.”

“I gave a family a chance to reclaim their rightful place.”

“At what cost?” questioned Ajak again, her voice getting higher and higher.

I paused a bit, before answering again. “The death of many.”

“Is it worth it?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Ajak raised her eyebrow, but she didn't seem to be surprised at my words. “Meaning?”

“At the end of the day, Arishem’s grand plan is still in progress.” I answered. “Wars create suffering, suffering creates desperation, and desperation breeds technology. It’s what Arishem wants is it not? For the humans to be developed and their energy eventually claimed to spawn another Celestial?”

Ajak scanned my expression, then she sighed as she massaged her forehead. “Is that what you thought this mission is Pluto?”

This time, I was the one who raised my eyebrow. “What do you mean? That is the core of our mission right?”

“It is the core of our mission.” nodded Ajak. “Do you think it’s wrong, Pluto? We are essentially raising them like cattles for slaughter.”

I hummed. “I often question the morality of our mission, Hell, I always questioned it to you. But you always have absolute faith towards Arishem, so I became silent. Are you telling me that you’re questioning Arishem’s grand plan now, Ajak? This is my first mission, while you have done this so many times, why now?”

Ajak shook her head in denial. “I am not questioning Arishem’s Grand Plan Pluto, I am questioning whether you think it is right or wrong.”

I stared at Ajak briefly, then I answered. “If you ask me this a couple centuries earlier, I would probably answer that I do not care at all, but right now… Honestly, I do not know.”

“Can you elaborate on that?” said Ajak, curious at my thinking.

I paused for a bit, before answering. “I have watched those humans,” frankly, I was human myself, although for only a couple decades compared to my long life now, gosh… I have forgotten my mother’s face if I think about it… “They… are unpredictable. Sometimes, I think that they deserved to die. Sacrificing their children in the name of a god they never saw, kidnapping little girls for their own greed… but sometimes, I also think that they deserved to live, those children back in Africa… those guards that are willing to sacrifice their lives for many… and Helen…”

She stared at me, and hummed. “So why? Why did you incite that war?”

I stared at the ground below me. “I thought you understand Ajak, that we are mere servants of Arishem? Morality doesn’t matter, we are created to do his bidding. So I did just that. I was doing my mission. Inciting wars to push enlightenment towards humans.”

Ajak was surprised. “I… didn’t know that you thought like that…”

As I heard Ajak’s words, I laughed. “Do not misunderstand Ajak, I hate every single second of it… of this… bondage.”

“What?” Ajak was more surprised again.

I stood up, and I looked straight into Ajak’s eyes. “I am tired Ajak… let’s end this conversation right here.”

Ajak stood up. She stared at my violet eyes. And she hugged me for a few seconds. After we seperated, she smiled. “Very well, you may rest.”

I then left the room. As soon as I left the room, Ajak sat down, staring at the window of the room. “Bondage… huh…”
