Lord Shadow

He released his breath and clouds forms in the skies and the clouds turns dark

He then continues saying

'You believe that to unite the kingdoms of the Human Continent that, it needs to be won through war'

'Was I wrong?' Azief ask

The Creator smiles and shakes his head

'You are not wrong…at least not entirely'

Azief only frown at this as the Creator continue saying

'Because from the beginning you were wrong. What I mean is since the beginning of the human civilization it was wrong. The world is not so cruel. At least not when I first created it'

Smiling he looks at the sky as he seemingly reminiscing something

'Every world I created is not that different. Though there are sometime when I take creative choices and the world would be so unique there is hardly one in the myriads Universes.'

'But most of the time it is the same'

And he smiles a bit

'The Laws of it is also the same. Of course, there is troubles and hardship. But that is life. However, there was no need to be cruel about it. Animals eats other animals but that is life. That is their food. They fight and kill for survival. I have no objection to that. But, there is no need to make it cruel'

Sighing, the Creator said

'People always blames the world for being cruel. The world is not cruel. It is there like a home. The one who decided it to be cruel is the people living inside the home'

He paused for a second and then said

'In the beginning of your human race, and Arial human race, there is not much difference. They live in caves and some of them possess great technological achievements. They use it to kill each other, enslaved each other…in other words, they use their advantages to become cruel.

'You were not wrong to say what you say. Because of this, the trajectory of the human race is full of war. And during Arial age of warfare, of kings and queens fighting for thrones while ignoring the plight of the common people, Arial could only move with the flow of the world. He had to be cruel to.

'But it did not have to be like that. How many worlds you have traveled to, Azief? Azief was trying to remember and answer the Creator question but the Creator quickly said

'Not more than sixty'

He smiles and then said

'For the Multiverse you have been to thirty-nine earths. As for other dimension there is some that could be called a full dimension and some that are dimension that are incomplete, or temporary that could not be counted as a world'

'In my eyes, sixty worlds are not that many' Azief nodded. When compared to the Creator it truly is not that many

Then the Creator added

'But I have seen myriads of worlds. And I have seen many civilizations'

'There are civilization that progress themselves through peaceful means. Some did not even have a war. Yes, they progress a little bit slower than races that warred against each other. But, at least they did not destroy life. And they were blessed by me'

'They focus on living, on making living better. Yet, they did not have to kill each other to make sure that they could live. They have as rich as emotion as humans but they did not choose the way Arial choose, and they did not choose the way humanity choose'

There is another silence and then the Creator said.

Azief did not know what to say because anything he could say…. would it have any weight in front of a being who seen so many things.

Did he also see the possibility of human civilization? See that it could have risen to where it is now even without war? Is it because of that his tone sounds so sad?

Then the Creator suddenly said

'It does seem like I am lecturing you aren't I? I just want you to know that there are many things that is avoidable. Don't make excuses for the terrible things and painted it as something that is inevitable. The one who knows which ones are inevitable and which ones are not is only…...' he did not finish his word but Azief could guess who the Creator seems to be talking about.

Azief is silent for a while but he still has a lot of question to ask

'Still, why Arial? There are many kings and emperor who were more brutal than him. Why him that had to be responsible? Why is it only him that have to redeem himself'?

The Creator is silent for a second and then he sighed

'Because he was given a gift. By me. A gift of life. A gift of a second chance. The life of his wife is precious. But how about the life of the husband of another? The father of a child? The brother. The sister, the son, the daughters. What sins did they do to him?'

'Every debt has a debtor. Arial with all of his strength could have kill and hunt down the people who kills his wife. That is fair. That is just. But, how many people died in his conquest? Is it not a great sin?'

'I want you to understand Azief. Every life…...every life! Is precious'

He paused for a second and then he shakes his head

'Didn't you remember what your learned? A soul could light up an entire universe. The soul that no one could see, this illusory thing that present itself differently to each person that could see it, that have such miraculous properties that nobody could unravel it, the soul is precious. Life is precious. And when you snuff out a life, I feel sad'

'I exist in every junction of time to the very precise second. I see death but I do not weep. But when I see a life snuffed out by another creation, I weep for their souls. There are some souls who kill but did not get stained by Karma, by cause and effect. This is when something is owed to them. A blood debt. But when there is nothing of sorts, when it is killing an innocent soul., there is a stain in your own soul'

'And everyone has to redeem themselves one way or another. The only reason Arial was subjected to more tribulation is simply because he was blessed and as such that blessing should be used appropriately'

Then the Creator did not say anything else. And they both become silent again. Azief is digesting what he had heard and he too sighed.

Then he looks at the Creator and said

'I really couldn't see you as Arial. You wear his face, you have his memory, but there is something different. If I don't know that you are the Creator, I might be able to treat you like the real Arial. If I do not know, the difference would be too subtle for me to realize. But I know

The Creator smile and said

'You know so you could not' the Creator nodded and said

'I understand. I do not blame you. Those who knows my identity, rarely could they treat me the same'

Azief then ask

'Did it hurt you when you are treated differently?' Azief merely wanted to know what the Creator could be feeling

The Creator takes a deep breath and shakes his head

'I don't. I felt a bit wistful but not sad. I understand where they are coming from'

Azief sighed and the Creator only smiles and said

'Don't worry about it. Not many do'

There is another period of silence. This time Azief also look at the sunset in the distance and then after thinking about it for a while, he then said

'I want to know what happen to Na Eun. I want to see the connection' Azief did not forget why he enters these world

Of course at that time, he did not know that Earth Two is connected deeply with Earth X. He also could not have expected that it is the scheme of the Orvanians to locate the location of the Creator.

But he did not forget that he wanted to see what happens to Na Eun. In his life, there is actually three women that he loved.

Most of the people on Earth only knows two.

That is Sofia and Katarina.

When she met Na Eun, they both know that they had no future together. Na Eun sometimes delude herself in thinking that it would be forever and at certain moments, even Azief is deluded in thinking so.

But in the end he returns back to Earth Prime.

Na Eun is not just some fling.

Azief when he loves someone, he truly loves them. It might be in different form and it might have different taste but it is love nonetheless.

So, he wanted to know what happened to her. Good or bad, he wanted to know. He waited for the Creator to say something.

The Creator smiles and then said

'Then you would accumulate more karma'

Azief reply

'It is my karma to begin with' The Creator hearing this raised his eyebrows and then laughed

'Bold' He then chuckles and said

'But, I like it'

Next month chapter might not be posted here anymore. Instead, it might be posted in…..ptreon.

I want to check whether there could be a place where I could write and continue on. If I could continue, it is good. If not….by the end of April, I will try to find other ways to fill my stomach.

Hope you all could help me.
