Chapter 74 - 70: Fate?

Inside the forest of ruins, in the middle of a small clearing, a teenage girl and her little brother stood in shock as they looked at three figures standing in the middle of spider-webbed shaped crack on the ground.

One of those figures was a giant of a man, with a muscular body that looked almost unreal, in his arms laid an unconscious young man. Looking at him, Josse felt her cheeks flush red as an unfamiliar feeling made her heart start racing in her chest. The young man's face was simply too perfect, even while unconscious his features seemed to be almost sculpted.

With her entire attention focused on the unconscious young man, Josse almost missed the last member of the group, he was the most normal looking one of the group, a middle-aged man with a silvery long hair neatly pulled back and an equally white well-trimmed beard, the unnatural part about him, however, were his eyes, they were yellow and looked like slits causing shivers to run down Josse's eyes.

"A mortal?" Asked Kyzdall in curiosity as he looked at the little girl who looked back at them without any fear, only curiosity. Her little brother or that's what Kyzdall assumed, was the exact opposite, he could feel a deep fear the boy had when he looked at them.

"Interesting, are you not afraid little girl." Asked Kyzdall with a raised eyebrow.

"A-Afraid? Why should I be?" She asked back, her eyes bright with curiosity.

"HAHA- Indeed, why should you be." Heartly laughed the God of War, causing Ondan to roll his eyes at the exchange.

"Put the Lord down first." Rebuked the Dragon.

With a swift motion, Ondan effortlessly willed the surrounding mana to create a bed of green grass that extended from the ground bellow. Ever so gently, Kyzdall carefully placed their Ysion down, as Josse and her little brother Roland watched with eyes full of awe.

As soon as Ysion's body touched the bed, the green grass started dancing in happiness, the trees surrounding the clearing shook their leaves along with it, and as everyone watched, the bed of green grass suddenly started changing as various multicolored flowers sprouted under Ysion's body turning the bed from green to an ethereal multicolored one.

Unable to contain her shock, Josse asked. "A-are you Gods?" her heart started to beat in anticipation. Her father had long read her stories of princes and princesses, knights and monsters, yet in all the stories he told her the Gods were always there, they were the most powerful most mysterious figures, they were the definition of perfection!

And as the young teenage girl gazed upon the young man's resting figure, and how the grass itself seemed to celebrate his presence, his unbelievable beauty. Josse was sure this was a real God!

"You are quite sharp little one! Indeed we are." Nodded Kyzdall, he took fancy in the young fearless girl, Ondan, on the other hand, refrained from saying anything as he continued with his task causing a small but elegant wooden cottage to appear as it surrounded Ysion hiding him from the outside world.

Hearing Kyzdall's confirmation, Josse's heart started beating wildly in her chest as her eyes beamed. Her little brother on the other hand seemed to be on the verge of fainting.

"D-did you truly create this world? And are you really strong enough to destroy ALL of it?!"

"Haha, quite the enthusiastic one eh?" Replied Kyzdall, causing Josse to blush as she tried to calm herself.

With a wave of his hand, three wooden chairs appeared from the ground bellow as Kyzdall spoke to the siblings.

"Sit down first."

The siblings complied, Josse carefully looked at the cottage behind Kyzdall as Ondan opened the door, she barely managed to catch a glimpse of its interior yet that was enough to shock her, the wooden cabin that looked small on from the outside seemed to have a huge fully furnished interior with various shining objects!

Roland, her shy little brother was the one to bring her back to her senses as he asked a question that made her turn heavy.

"Umm, esteemed God. C-Can you bring back my mom to life?" Pleaded the child, his eyes darting all around seemingly avoiding Kyzdall's gaze.

Ever since his birth, Kyzdall had always been interested in mortals. As the God of War, he had heard countless of prayers, countless mortals asked for his blessings in their battles, yet he didn't remember ever hearing someone ask HIM, a God of War and carnage to revive someone.

Looking back at the young girl, Kyzdall was able to sense her mood drop as she hanged her head low.

"Boy, when you ask for something you raise your head and straighten your back. Stop fidgeting so much!"

Hearing Kyzdall's authoritative voice, Roland unconsciously straightened in his seat as he replied.

"Y-Yes, sir!"

Nodding his head in satisfaction, Kyzdall spoke as he turned to look back at Josse. "To answer your previous question first, no, I did not create this world for I am not from this world, and yes I could easily destroy this realm if I so wished for I am a God of War!" Proudly declared Kyzdall, his aura was repressed in fear of killing the young mortals, yet that wasn't needed as both Josse and Roland felt the majesty of a God as they looked at Kyzdall both of their eyes shone with sparkling brilliance.

"A God of War!" Unconsciously muttered Josse as she looked at Kyzdall with eyes full of respect, worship and that so ever-present curiosity.

Turning back to look at Roland, Kyzdall continued. "And to answer your question, no I cannot bring back your mother as I am not familiar with the workings of the souls in your plane, but my Lord can surely do."

Hearing his reply, both of Roland and Josse's eyes dimmed momentarily before they regained their former brightness.

"Now then what are your names?"

"I am Josse, daughter of Reynard!" Straightening her back, Josse placed her hand on her chest as she proudly introduced herself.

"M-My name is Roland, son of Reynard!" Following her lead, her little brother stuttered at first before straightening himself as well as he looked back at Kyzdall straight in the eyes causing him to give a nod of satisfaction.

"Good, Josse and Roland, children of Reynard. It seems like fate has brought us together." Said Kyzdall, as he gave a toothy grin.
