Chapter 8 - The Solution
William is resting in Mumei's room, reading one of the historic books about the world and he did find the mythologies interesting with how civilizations came under one banner because of them. He knows that he has been with the Council now for about a week. Mostly communicating with Mumei, Fauna and Sana. Though he did have frequent encounters with Baelz but she is too chaotic to him. But he kept his distance from Kronii because he knows that she really wants him dead everytime they look at each other. It is just unsettling for him.
Mumei then entered the room, looking a bit cheery.
Mumei: "Hey William."
He didn't bother looking up, but notes that Mumei is in the room.
William: "You need something Mumei?"
Mumei: "Well I think I managed to find the solution to your inner demon problem."
Before William could turn another page, he stopped in his tracks. He seemed excited by the prospect, so he closed the book but before doing so, he set a bookmark on which page he was on.
William: "Please do tell."
Mumei: "Well the only way we can get this done is by travelling to Earth so...."
Mumei sweats a little, knowing that they have to get permission from Kronii first.
William: "I am guessing we can't go because...?"
Mumei: "We need Kronii's permission, yes."
She kept her smile up.
William: "Well, if we don't have much of a choice. But I am guessing to get this done, we need to have a discussion with the Council?"
Mumei nods. Through most of this time, Mumei has taught William about the Council and how things work around this tower. He never complained about it and followed the rules. She somehow liked that side of William, respectful, honest and kind. But can be rough if needed.
Over some time, the Council gets seated in the Meeting Room and William just stands, because of there being no more seats and of course, it would be disrespectful if he asks for one of their seats.
Baelz: "So, why did you bring us here for Mumei?"
Mumei: "Well, if this makes things feel better, I figured out how to deal with William's issue."
Kronii was looking at William the whole time, noting the subtle aura flowing around him. Fauna and Sana were curious on what Mumei will tell and Baelz lets out a sharp tooth grin.
Baelz: "Well then, that is great news. The sooner he is gone, the better."
William felt a little pain from that, but he understands since he is not supposed to be here in the first place. Kronii could feel the emotion from where she sat.
Fauna: "Don't you think you were being a bit cruel Bae?"
Baelz: "What about it? He was not allowed here in the first place. We need to resume our duties and he was taking up our time."
Kronii: "Agreed."
Sana: "So what must we do?"
Mumei: "Well to do this, I first need permission from Kronii."
Everyone then looks at Kronii. Kronii does seem reluctant but she sighs.
Kronii: "Where do you need to go?"
Mumei: "We need to head to Earth."
The air in the room became tense, mainly from Baelz and Kronii's sides. Because they don't want to ruin the balance. But Baelz would feel responsible for this decision since she is the one in charge.
Mumei: "Please let me finish first."
The aura that Kronii and Baelz released subsided and the air in the room became breathable for William again. He keeps in mind not to piss those two off anytime soon.
Mumei: "The reason is because there is a sacred place he needs to be in order to reach a tranquil state."
Kronii: "Tranquil state? Do you mean...?"
Baelz: "Kaunshiruparesu?"
Mumei nods. The rest get the idea besides William, he was just confused.
William: "What is that exactly...?"
Mumei: "Kaunshiruparesu. Or what is known as the Council Palace. It is a sacred place that only us Council members can access. Though sometimes mortals were able to access it from time to time, which we sometimes don't understand why. But with my guidance, we should be able to get there soon."
Sana: "It sounds so fun~! Can I join with?"
Fauna: "I don't think that is the best idea Sana."
Sana looked confused.
Sana: "Why?"
Kronii: "Remember what you did last time? Causing the dinosaurs of Earth to go extinct?"
Sana looked down in defeat, feeling a bit down but Mumei held her shoulder to comfort her. William is honestly just surprised that it was her that caused the meteor to crash onto Earth which wiped out the dinosaurs in the first place.
Baelz: "Now this might be weird Bismarck, but do remember this terminology before entering that domain."
William listened closely to what Baelz has to say.
Baelz: "Even though the Gods created us, but the order that came is not as they seem. First came together Space and Time. Then came Nature to form life. Then Chaos ensued, which brought Order, in kind, formed Civilization."
William thought about this and this all made sense to him.
William: "Got it. Space and Time first. Then Nature. Then Chaos and then Civilization."
Baelz: "Good listener. Though it would probably be better for you to go now."
She then stares at Kronii which she gets the idea. Kronii then stands up.
Kronii: "Follow me."
William not wanting to make her angry in anyway just follows. Mumei gets up to follow as well but Fauna follows as well. Baelz then gets up from her seat as well, Sana just teleports away. This completely showed that the meeting was adjourned. Baelz walks up to the top of the tower and hops out of the window to get to the roof to sit on it. Looking at the rising sun from the distance and the clouds that is sort of covering the light-blue sky.
Baelz: "Well that is one issue taken care of. Though I wonder.... What Chaos will ensue soon?"
She smirks wildly while speaking in a calm tone. Kronii leads William, Mumei and Fauna to an open plain to open up her time rift to allow passage. Once it was opened, she turned to look at them.
Kronii: "Once you get in, I advise you to not do anything rash. The guardian of the place will judge you Bismarck."
William: "Guardian?"
Fauna: "The Guardian of Kaunshiruparesu is quite a strong being, well compared to mortal standards."
Mumei: "But you don't need to worry about a thing, I will get you past. I promise."
Mumei's gentle smile makes William relax a little, though it still plagues his mind, what is this guardian and how strong is it really is what he thought.
Kronii: "I advise you to get going now."
Mumei and Fauna walk in first. As William was about to walk in, Kronii holds William by his arm, preventing him from walking forward. William starts sweating and then looks at Kronii with just his eyes.
Kronii: "Remember what Chaos has told you. Otherwise you will perish. Not like I care in anyway."
She then lets go and walks off. William was a bit confused on what that was about but he shrugs it off and heads on through. Then as the rift closes, Kronii feels a disturbance from not too far away. It was within the forest, she knew what it was, a disturbance in space and time.
A circle appears and after a bright flash of light, there stood the myths, in a forest. From what Amelia could tell, this is where William first arrived.
Calli: "You sure this might be it?"
Amelia: "Calli, my calculations are never wrong."
Amelia's gremlin smirk was not making Calli feel any better at all.
Gura: "Woah~! This is quite a beautiful bunch of trees~!"
Ina: "I can agree. This forest is filled with life and it feels so calming~"
Kiara: "Calli, do you feel anything off here?"
Calli then takes a couple of glances around, surveying the area with her eyes first. She then closes her eyes to try and get a hold on any presences. She could feel a lot of critters and two highly unexplained wavelengths that she cannot describe.
Calli: "Mostly critters, but there is going to be danger for us soon. We need to find a place to hold out until we can come up with a plan."
Amelia: "That is a good idea, let's get going."
Everyone agrees and they head further through the forest, though they didn't feel lost at all due to Amelia's tracking skills, she feels glad that she left Bubba back at home. Though her tracking manages to lead them to a lake, that is out in a clearing. Though it was a beautiful sight for them, they were wondering to themselves how this is all possible...
Baelz was still resting on the roof of the tower but however, once she felt the presences of unwanted visitors, she opened her eyes and stood up. Kronii then appeared right next to her.
Kronii: "You feel that?"
Baelz: "Yep. We got unwanted guests."
Kronii: "It is the myths."
Baelz: "How can you tell?"
Baelz tilts her head a bit.
Kronii: "I could feel the presence of the detective."
Baelz gets a wild grin on her face.
Baelz: "Then this should be interesting. How about this, I keep the others busy while you go for the detective. I mean I know you want some payback. Besides, you couldn't handle her when she had help so..."
Kronii: "Is that supposed to mean something Chaos?"
Baelz: "Nope. But I do wonder, how did they get here?"
Kronii: "It is the watch. Must have followed the space between time to get here."
Baelz: "How interesting. I do hope they give a challenge."
Her grin became more twisted, wanting to test her might against them.
