366 THE PUNISHMENT
*** NOTE: This story begins long before the original story. This session will focus on the story of Chaos and Blue. This was the first encounter between Blue and Chaos. Where they lived in the realm of the mortals. ***
=======================
“Do you know that there is this new god in this realm?” One of the girls near the river bank asked her other three sisters, who were laying down on the grass.
They were called nymphs, their powers were so modest and scarcely ensured their eternity. They were the guardians of the mountain and river. They could speak to animals, nurture flowers or coax drops of water from the cloud.
“Yes, I heard he came with Hades yesterday,” one of them chimed in.
Meanwhile, one particular girl seemed to pay more attention to this, as she leaned her body closer. “What god?” she asked with her voice that sounded like a beautiful note of music. Her long, white hair glowed brightly under the light of the sun, as her hazel eyes grew wider with curiosity.
Most nymphs didn’t have names, because they didn’t think they would need one. Unless some god or an immortal decided to wed them or take them to their palace and give them a name, they would stay a nameless creature.
“I don’t know. But, he doesn’t look pleasant,” she said, shrugging her shoulders. “His palace is over there. No wonder the weather has been very gloomy around there. Whatever god that Hades has brought, I don’t think he will be of any good, since he belongs to the underworld.”
The beautiful nymph with white hair stared in the direction where she pointed out and contemplated.
.....
It was not that hard to guess what she was thinking, since her curiosity always got her into trouble, if it was not for the fact that she was the moon goddess’ favorite. The color of her hair would even remind you of the warm light of the moon.
“Don’t even think about that,” one of them warned her, as she looked at them confused. “From what I heard, he is Chaos. One of the gods of destruction.”
Yet, the white haired nymph said nothing and just stared at the castle that stood on the top of the mountain.
She blinked her eyes and laid down on the grass just like her other sisters.
=====================
The castle looked even gloomier at night, especially when you came to take a closer look at this bleak and forlorn building.
There were thunderbolts that flashed horribly in the sky right above its towers, yet this little nymph’s curiosity didn’t make her turn around and rush back to the safety of her mountain.
She looked around and then looked up at the sky. The moon did not appear tonight, which meant there would be no moon goddess to come and help her if she got herself into trouble.
Yet, she really wanted to see this new god that had been on every mortal’s lips, since the day he arrived in this realm.
There were a few horrifying stories about him, depicting how cruel he was, but this little nymph had this inexplicable urge to see him.
She was not sure what the exact reason was, aside from her curiosity, but she felt like there was something more to it that guided her here, across this garden.
The garden was so dull. Everything here was long dead. The trees were dead and the grass beneath her feet was so dry, they pricked her naked feet.
The white haired nymph looked up and found a man staring at her from one of the balconies. He didn’t seem to panic when he found out there was an intruder in his area, but was more curious to see how small this creature was.
Because this place lacked light, she couldn’t see his face clearly, but his long, black hair that was blown by the wind made him look so beautiful.
She didn’t know what had gotten into her, but she crouched down and pressed her hand to the ground, palm flat and, not long after that, a rose plant emerged from the ground. It was not that tall, and only reached her hips when she stood up, but it was full of a lot of blooming roses, which smelled so nice amidst this putrid air around the castle.
“For you,” she said. “As a welcoming gift.”
And after that, she left. She could feel his gaze on her back, so intense that made her heart ponder, had she overstepped? But this area used to be hers before he came.
It was a pity the garden died just like that...
======================
The night at the castle happened a long time ago and the beautiful nymph with her white hair almost forgot about him completely until she heard another piece of news about him.
This was not good news at all, which made her furrow her brows.
It was said that Chaos had broken the rules and now he would get punished for his atrocious actions for defying the orders that was given to him.
And this was the first time for her to see him very close.
A god getting punishment was very rare and a terrible thing at that, since they couldn’t die and couldn’t be killed.
But, there were many hellish torments that could be compared to death itself.
Chaos’ punishment would be made public and this was an insult, but from what the nymph could see, the god didn’t seem to care. He didn’t seem to feel even an ounce of remorse at all when he received blow after blow as blood streamed like a river on the floor of this holy great room.
The nymph understood that gods could heal really fast, but she had never seen this kind of blood before.
“Are you scared to see this?” Hades, who happened to stand next to the nymph, could see how she grimaced with every blow that Chaos received.
If they were not obliged to stay, she would have fled already.
