Lord Shadow

Chapter 1884: Be Free

”That child speedster and that Witch would not take long now. In a few hours, they would be done” Wargod paused a second and then shakes his head

”Evening....you should go evening. There is people waiting for them and is about to make a deal with them. So, it would take more time than before”

Azief hearing this frowns a little. There is no people around the temple before. What does Wargod means by people

”Is there something I should know? Will it harm Will?” Wargod shakes his head

”he has his story to write and you have yours. Sometimes, your story intertwined. But sometimes.....sometimes it has nothing to do with you. Let him live his story. The story of the Omniverse might end with you....but you are not the only main character in the story. Everyone is a main character in their story” he paused for a second and then add

”And they all have a part to play”

Wargod paused a second and then said

”What about letting your friends have his main character moment? There is no need to know all about his story, about he will meet and what he would gain or lose. Everyone have their own journey to complete, child. You have yours and your sworn brothers has his. It is better not to be too obsessed” Azief thought about it and nodded

Wargod is right.

Azief notices this about himself.

The moment he knew what about to happen in the future, he became much more controlling.

He wanted to knows about his loved ones, what they are doing where they are to a point that it might seems he is stalking them

He also makes all kinds of plans. And he included them in his plans without them not even knowing about it

In a way, it looks like he selfishly is doing all of this. He justifies it by saying it is all for their protection. But is it really that?

Or is he just afraid....afraid that he would be alone once they know about him and what his future self would be?

Azief sighed. He is not a selfless person. But he is also not a selfish one. But he is slowly becoming that.

Both Sofia and Katarina would not like it if they knew what he was thinking. They would want to share the burden with him

Sina would reprimand him if she knew. Wargod.....was right. He became obsessed after seeing the future.

Even just now before he enters the dining hall, he thoughts of all kinds of plans that all included the people he loves and he selfishly made decision for them.

Azief close his eyes and sighed before opening it back again.

Wargod look at Azief and seeing the expedition on his face that look like a mixture of anxiety and guilt, Wargod could guess what Azief is thinking about

”Fate like organized thing. Destiny likes it even more. The more you try to keep it all in a tight neat bow....the harder it is to beat expectations”

”Let them free, let them make their story, let them make their mistakes. When they fall down, be there. You don’t always have to point the way to them. Some people are so lost that you need to show it to them the way. Some only needed a little guidance. And some...will find their own path if you.....if you just give them time. Know the difference and act accordingly”

Azief look at Wargod and sighed. Before, if Wargod had given him these words, he would not understand what Wargod is trying to convey

But now he understood.

After all, he did hear the future from Wargod. He knew what some of the people in his life would choose. Some of them would make a mistake and some of them have their own path to walk.

And some of them walk on the wrong path.

Azief chuckles bitterly.

”Let them make mistake, be there when they fall down, show the way when they are lost and in need of guidance, poke them a little when they are on the verge of finding the path, and give them time. Heh”

Azief chuckles helplessly because it reminded him of Loki.

Maybe that is what Loki has being doing all of this time

Letting the world and the people he knew make mistake.

And when they fall, he would be there to help you pick up the pieces.

Sometimes, he would point the way.

Sometimes, he would lit the fire on a dark tunnel so that the lost ones that needed guidance could come out unscathed.

Sometimes, he gives them time to think and to see for themselves their own path.

Loki can do that

But can he do that?

”I am not confident” he mutters.

Wargod listen to these words and sighed.

”No one is. But some are betting on you. That shows at least, you have a chance”

Azief thought about it for moment but he sneers.

”Sometimes, just because people bet on you doesn’t mean they see a chance. Sometimes, they just wanted to believe in some farfetched dream. Sometimes, they are just gamblers”

Wargod hearing this smile and then chuckles

”You are very right” Wargod paused for a moment and then ask.

”Well, will you stop fighting then?” Wargod ask and Azief also chuckles. Wargod is basically saying, whether some powerful beings bets on him or not, it did not matter

Since this has something to do with his own survival, whether he like it or not, he would fight

Azief nodded

”It does not change anything.”

Wargod nodded

”Since that is the case, then just accept their help. Make the cause and effect stronger. They wanted to bet on you. So, tied them to your boat. So, that your boat would be their lifeboat. If the boat breaks down, they all would drown”

Wargod laughs a bit and then add

”The cards you hold are not many. I am just giving you much more cards. You could call and check it. Or just bluff your way through it”

Azief laughed at this

”But the opponent I am fighting would not fold. They could not fold. And I could not make them fold”

”True. But this is life. Not a card game. You could always take more cards from somewhere lese to make sure you have the best card. And then you could match the bets, and call it and win”

Card games analogy. Azief is quite amused by this. An ancient being of the Omniverse uses card games analogy to drive a point

”you seem to know a lot about card games?”

”We are the first originator of card games. Though, I doubt any living beings knows that. We are also the originator of chess. Though, our chess, is quite different than your chess”

Wargod could see the surprise in Azief face

”Don’t be so surprised. We are the First Beings that ever existed in the Universe. If you discount those winged creatures of the Supreme One. Those winged ones lives inside the Supreme Throne so they could not be really considered to live inside the Universe” he sighed a little

”We have created chess, card games and many more. Civilization rarely deviates that much. As long as you have some desires of any mortal beings, such things would be created. Our chess plays with the celestial bodies and our card games determines fates and destiny. Some of our creation ended up in the subconscious of the creation that came after us. Even if some of our creation did not end up in the subconscious soul of creation, as long as they have desires, as long as they have happiness and sadness, they would find a way to create all of these things”

Azief nodded.

Wargod is talkative at him and even explains to him nay things. Azief knows why. After this, he doesn’t know where they would meet each other again.

Wargod had explained to him already.

The first time they are meeting it already created such an anomaly in the Will of the Omniverse.

The longer he stays here and the more Wargod told him, the more he is risking it.

Right now, it is still alright since he is in Interium

But when he comes out again and wanted to come again to ask something, Wargod had told him in that underground room before, the Will of the Omniverse would no longer play nice.

This is already the Will of Omniverse playing nice. It would not allow a second time

This is the reason why Wargod spell everything out for him. Elaborating. As good as he can.

”I should decide what to do with my life after this....right?”

”I could give you some advice. But that probably would change other things”

Wargod sighed and he look at the ceiling of the dining hall.

This dining hall room ceiling itself is a few hundred feet high.

Wargod is a massive being. If he wanted to, his size could be even bigger than the biggest planet in the Milky Way galaxy.

But usually, he would be in his eight feet form. It reserve energy and make it easier to interact with other mortal creatures
