Chapter 16: chapter 16

"so do I get my hug or not," I asked with a hint of Playfulness.

course the older girls reluctantly hugged me, but the younger girls came with little to no hesitation.

"Now where's sparky? I was expecting to be electrocuted or at least shocked," I said looking around.

"she's currently on the scouting team, she's looking at a monster party that's at a monster donuts shop that's near," Zoe explained.

"who's she brother," Amy asked as she looked at columbina.

"guess you can call her your aunt. I did kidnap her, my bad "surprised adoption" is what I called it.

anyways I need to set up a tent for her, if you guys need something I will be in the pond that way," I said pointing to the side.

I then left the stunned hunters there and had columbina follow me to where she can sleep.

I set up the tent and put seals inside to make it more spacious. I also put a seal on columbina so she can't attack "people" and her illusions won't work.

"just so you know I did seal your powers. I'm not controlling you, but I don't want you attacking my family that I have here," I told her.

"so you kidnap me, take away my powers and make me unable to hurt people. what's next are you going to seduce the tsarista," she said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Nah, I'm faithful to my wife. even if she doesn't feel the same way," I said as I was making her a bed.

"how does that even work," she tilted her head acting confused.

"let's just say her father was butt hurt about me coming out of hell and wanted me to stay loyal to them," I said with shrug.

"anyways your bed is made, tonight your joining me singing around the campfire," I said as I handed her some of the lyrics to the songs.

I kept my senses up and made my way to the pond and jumped in. almost immediately I was relaxed, my body felt lighter and I felt safe.

I sat in a meditation position and closed my eyes and started meditating. I can feel nature's energy all around us, the trees that are full of life, the grass that's crying from being stepped on.

the water flowing like the blood of my enemies. the girls trying to call me.

"the girls," I yelled swimming up to the surface.

"what happened," I asked as I emerged from the water.

"It's time for dinner," the girl said.

"thank you, I will join you guys in a bit," I said

I dried myself off and made my way to columbina's tent and told her it was dinner time.

we made our way to the campfire and I summoned food for everyone and watched them eat.

for columbina, I summoned some food that she had never seen, so she reluctantly ate it.

Artemis joined us via teleporting and she sat next to me and I summoned her a plate.

"so what's been going on since I was MIA," I asked.

"... who are you," she said as she glared at me.

I raised my finger and said, "I'm married to a maiden goddess that's who."

"it was a joke," she whispered.

"so what has been happening seriously," I asked.

"... nothing, we were doing what we always do. hunting monsters, setting up camp, and moving to a new place," she told me in-between bites.

I nodded as I took a bite of my hamburger while thinking of songs I should play tonight.

I grabbed my guitar from the mist and I sat in a place where everyone could see me.

"This song was one I heard on my travels... I'll try my best to sing it.

[world so cold - 12 stones]

(lyrics here)

I soon started getting into the sound after a couple of seconds and I forgot about the people around me.

I sang this song because it was one of my favorites from when I was with the chaos army.

I only realized I wasn't alone when I finished the song and the hunters started singing.

"another," they started cheering.

"Alright, I'll do another one. may I ask for your presence columbina," I said stretching out my hand.

she took it and sat next to me and I wrote the words to our next song.

more cheers from the hunters after that one. this song was one I made after I had to go undercover as a "tarnished".

being called maidenless was kind of humiliating until I remembered I was married.

"how was this song made," Artemis asked.

"... it was one of my missions, I had to work as a "tarnished", but now I'm back," I said remembering everything.

"anyways women it's time for bed. if everyone isn't sleeping by 9, everyone here is going to wake up at 6 and we're going to start the day off with a bang. it's already 8:30 so you better hurry," I said with a grin.

they started running to their tent, most likely because they thought my threat was serious. which it was.

"What kind of jobs did you do," Artemis asked.

"under chaos law, I cannot elaborate," I said shaking my head no.

"but you said earlier," Columbina corrected.

"I meant I can't say the exact missions, because I would be on trial for insubordination. I can explain certain things but not the important ones. the one I told you wasn't that important," I explained.

"how long were you gone for," Artemis asked. I noticed something flash behind her eyes, but I chose to ignore it.

"the exact time... I'm pretty sure it was 62 years. I stopped counting after forty, after all, I had a job to do," I explained.

I clapped, "anyways we need sleep so let's go to sleep ladies."

I was gone the moment I stopped talking and I appeared back in the pond. I stayed talking to the fish for most of the night before going back to meditation.

I wanted something to fight, and the next thing I know I'm in chaos office and she was in a panic. she ran to me and she put her hand on my forehead and I felt a surge of power flowing through me.

she then grabbed my shoulders and looked me dead in my eyes

"your the only one who can save us Perseus. do what I couldn't. you have my powers," was all she said before the office exploded and this universe began to cease to exist.

I was unconscious for a while but when I woke up all I saw was Cronos (primordial) in front of me.

"what happened," I asked looking around.

"the universe was destroyed. it happened so suddenly that no one was given the time to react," he said.

"then how are we still here," I said looking at the both of us.

"time... it flows even if there isn't anything there. we exist because of it. nothing to do for all eternity but float around," he said laying down.

'time... time..."time" I shouted the last part as I got an idea that was super crazy, but totally something I could do.

"Oh, it seems you came up with something," he said with a hint of wonder.

"First what destroyed this universe," I asked.

"well it was abundant of thing," he said with a shrug.

seeing him as useless I pulled out the thread of fate and began searching for why this collapsed.

every world that I had been to was destroyed and none were spared.

I found the cause of our universe being destroyed. chaos's brother "order" had gotten a hold of a very powerful bomb and used it to try and destroy this universe.

the reason why everyone died was because that was exactly what it was supposed to do. annihilate everything and everyone, including himself.

now that I knew the cause of it, I was ready to do my plan.

"Cronos, help me," I said preparing my time.

his eyes widened as he suddenly caught on to what I was about to do.

"time travel," he whispered.

he shook his head and laughed before helping out with my insanity.

"if this works you're the most insane person I know," he said as I was knocked unconscious.

I woke up gasping for air and began looking around. I had passed out as we were getting settled in our dormitory.

I looked at my body when I felt a sharp pain in my head which caused me to scream in pain. my hair returned to white as it was originally.

I looked in a mirror and saw myself back in my twelve-year-old body. I laughed like a psychopath for a couple of seconds at how my idea had worked.

"take that assholes," I said passing out.
