Lord Shadow

But maybe it is because they have been doing their job for too long that they forgot, that while destiny do shape a mortal life, mortals also shape the destiny

It is like the question of egg and chicken.

"what should we do?" Lachesis asked.

"He should make mistake" The "he" here is referring to none other than Fir Her Waz. But Atropos suddenly said

"Does destiny said he make mistake?" they went silent for a while and then all three of them said in unison

"No. it is a natural progression of events that changes because of the interference. But....it is natural"

"Then we follow destiny...no matter where it leads"

Clotho said and the three nodded and they take another step and all three of them returns back to their palace.

Their momentary discussion and momentary absent mindedness had already causes something to happen to all the world under their controls.

Life and death overturned, destiny and fate get tangled, people who should have died is still alive and those who should still live died

Just like how a moment could change a mortal life, one could imagine if lifespan did not end when it should be and when a lifespan end before it should

To some it is a joy, to some it is a tragedy.

But one thing is clear.

The destiny and fate of the mortals under the weavings of these Three Sisters of Fate is now in chaos

Other gods are not affected by this.

Because they are not qualified and not strong or perceptive enough to feel the changes of the Omniverse. Ironically enough, this prevent them from making the mistake that the Fates are doing.

The Fates never make mistakes. Because they were never people who have the question. They sign the answer that is already predetermined

But today, they make a mistake. Because the answer....deviated.

Today, the Three Fates could not let things be at ease and they need to personally take the weaving job.

Meanwhile on Earth, another person is affected by this.

Somi.

She is the Sword Fairy. Wife of Wang Jian, the disciple of Death Monarch. She has her own residence in the palace of the Southern King.

Wang Jian is the King of the South of Pandemonium. That is a title that did not have legal weight to it but it is de facto

And she is the wife of a king. In a way she is the Queen of the South.

She has her own special residence, the Residence of Stars. Over the years that residence is expanded and have many more facilities than it did before.

There were renovations going on for a long time in that residence and since it was complete Somi rarely left that residence.

She wanted to follow her husband.

And for most of Wang Jian journey to the capital, she has been helping.

Sometimes in the rear, sometimes in the front.

She has helped soldiers to heal and she has fought with her sword in the front.

But when it was time for the army to reach the capital Wang Jian send her home

She understood why. His husband doesn’t want her to get implicated if things did not go as planned.

Even when she insisted, she was hauled back home. And she knew that whatever she said, her husband would not listen

And she knew that the mor she acted like this, the more it would distract him. It would not be below Sasha to capture her and uses her as bait

So, she simply let a clone of herself to try to protect her husband.

And she herself is in the South. In the South, she is safe.

What has Somi been doing since then?

She has been in the Residence of Stars.

And what is she doing?

Dancing.

That is what she did.

Dancing with a sword

Pointing the way. She herself did not know how to dance but when she wielded her sword and she looks at the stars, she could dance

And her sword dances with her.

And for a moment, it was like she is dancing on stars and suns and moons.

She felt it.

Like she was a titanic beings, her feet stepping on stars, planets , suns and black holes, and she is pointing the swords to routes in the Universe.

These routes seems to be heading somewhere.

And yet, Somi does not know where it would head

The routes is passing through vast empty dark spaces. Pointing a road....towards Earth. She did not know it.

But she felt that this guess is right

She is still doing it.

She did not do it all the time.

But when she has time, when she felt a certain urge, she would dance and she would point the way.

Sometimes, she forgot why she is doing it.

But at times she remembers why she is doing it. For her sisters.

She is now alone.

All that accompanies her is the swords.

Seven swords.

In the past she would find it hard to mobilize the seven swords.

But now she could mobilize these seven sword and she alone cold use the sword formation to trapped an entire battalion of Energy Disperse stage soldiers if she wanted to.

Today, she was dancing like usual.

The sound of music enters her ears, her body moves according to the rhythm and melodies, her sword pointed to routes between the stars and black holes.

She closes her eyes and she is still dancing. She knows which feet to move, which fingers to point, feeling the sword, feeling the heat of the sun, feeling the coldness of elements of the universe

And then she heard a sound. Like something is breaking and suddenly she could no longer hear any song.

There is only silence. No more songs, no more melody, no longer feeling like she is standing on top of the Universe, dancing above the heavens

Instead, she somehow had certain clarity

"NO!" she shouted and she fainted right there and then

Something happened to her in that moment.

In that moment, it was like she understood everything all at once.

But the moment she wanted to grasp this understanding, suddenly, she found herself lost.

And she heard the voices of her sisters.

She remembers the laughter, and for a moment, for juts a moment, she forgot about the death, about the sacrifice, and the feeling of guilt of being the only left behind.

And all she could see and all she could remember in that moment is the smile. And the laughter is as beautiful as the sun at dawn

All the darkness seems to be pushed away.

And then she hear the whisper of that man in her dreams, the person who taught her that dance, the person who teach her to listen and then suddenly she saw that man again

Only this time, when she looks at that man, it was like she is staring at the most terrifying abyss she had ever seen.

It was not human, nor was it alien.

It was something....so different that it gives him goosebumps.

Just by looking at "it" she felt like she could see her end, other people end and everything end.

Like "it" is the End itself.

Her mind could not even process it and in that moment, brief moment when she look at that abyss, she understood.

She understood what she is doing and, in that moment, she wanted to come clean.

She thought of her husband, she thought of Death Monarch, Sina, the Celestial Couple and she wanted to tell the truth

Suddenly she knows what she is doing is wrong.

This dance....the dance that she has been doing....this is a Dance of the End. She did not know it before.

She believes in the voices. She believes in the promise.

That man....that "thing" she believes in it because she is desperate.

But in that moment, she knew it. She is wrong. This is not the path to salvation. At least not her salvation

Nor her sister. This...this is the path of the end. She must not allow herself to continue further. She must not....dance anymore.

Or point her swords again.

But as she falls unconcious....one must wonder....did she grab that knowledge when she was about to faint or did, she miss stat one chance and would wake up, forgetting what she has just discover and once again dance and point her sword?

Who would have thought?

One ripple and it severed cause and effect and the plan, the chess piece that Yewa Hafar believed would be the piece that is like a bishop, right now is in the uncertain section

And someone is looking.

The Creator is looking and He is smiling

"One would wonder....is she still a chess piece that Yewa Hafar could use? Or will she be abandoned. Or maybe....she herself would jump out from the chessboard? Maybe even go to the other side?" And the Creator laughed.

"Maybe she herself in that moment escape from the calculations. If she has no use, then Yewa Hafar had to find another chess piece"

Then the Creator look at Yewa Hafar

That child is still complaining and throwing a tantrum. The ripple cut his connection with his chess pieces.

He still doesn’t know what happen to one of his most important chess pieces. Maybe this chess piece would become someone else chess piece.

Maybe...the ending of this woman would become slightly less tragic.

The Creator is always on the side of creation.

He did not hate what the Destroyer is trying to do nor do he hate Yewa Hafar.

They are doing what they were supposed to be doing.

And He is doing things he is supposed to be doing

This is simply a matter of sides.

They are on opposite side and they all have their own desires and their own perspective on things.

For beings like them....this was never a matter of right and wrong. Because they are not mortal.

They are the right and left hand of the One and Only. They are a part of Him.

He felt the ripple. But unlike some others, He is happy. He even laughs. Joy is evident and once He felt joy, the Omniverse also felt joy

Life blooms and all the thing that is good blooms with it.

His laugh lights up the Dark Universe and it is the loudest laugh he had produced in eons.
