《stray in the multiverse》Chapter 2 A single tear
Advertisement
---God PoV:
After some time that can be called "a few years" for humans, I made my decision about the little blue planet in the Orion Spur of the Milky Way.
I decided to let the inhabitants of the planet decide the fate of their human race. Usually I send a few vessels on the various planets and through their life I decide to reward or discipline the various dominant races, yet this time of my three hundred vessels the majority lived a orrible life, and even those that were able to be important in the society ended up killed, betrayed and used. I noted than that sometimes the vessels were able to find promising people, capable of bringing Earth to new height. Usually my vessels only observe and judge the society before disappear, so to observe for longer the worlds I sometimes make them use a holy aura, capable of make the vessel mingle with the inhabitants.
I rarely use vote to decide the destiny of a race, only in situations where I'm troubled. This spell, after being used, make the not ruling species and the spirits of the World develop temporally awareness to decide the destiny of the ruling race; usually the difference is great and the fate of the race is clear. Thousands of years ago I casted the spell on a world ruled by Elves, and the animals and the spirit of nature decided to vote to make them the legit ruler of the world; due the results being highly pro-Elves I gave them the possibility to raise their world in the spiritual scale, causing a few of them to evolve in High Elves.
This time the votes were equal and the hopes were left in the hands of a single, normal, human boy. Letting me dumbfound he chosed to destroy mankind, signing their doom. What left me speechless was that he used over 3 days in the universal Time scale, equal to two days in human time.
Bewildered I summoned him but while in the start his reactions were interesting, trying to understand the way of the Universe, later he was even able to anger me, due to his decision to damn his own race due to a personal selfishness.
In the end I cursed him, letting making him experience the lives of the humans that voted in favor of mankind.
I was thinking, puzzled, over the faint image of his supposed friend that he decided to avenge that was similar to mine when I felt immense hate from his soul. That was extremely strange, that curse in particular was made to break the soul by the sense of guilt; yet his soul, that was nearly broken, was TAINTED black by a dense cluster of Hate that was revolving around it.

Left for the third time speechless I immediately checked what life he was currently experiencing and, after finding out, I lost myself in the memories...
----Aaron PoV
After being cursed by the Deity I felt like a strong pushing force and his head being compressed, while the bones of his skull were moving to allow him to be born.
Aaron was able to feel the mixed emotions of the baby but was not in charge of him.
He became an infant, loved by his parent, and after some years he learned to walk.
He started going to the kindergarten and made a lot of friends.
He began to grow up and started going to school. He was a friendly boy in his teen with a sunny disposition. After a few years he started dating a girl and experienced his first love and the disappointment of breaking up with her.
Already eighteen years old he started another relationship and had his first sexual experiences. His joy after taking his university degree; twenty five years old he married, while Aaron, that was feeling extremely uneasy, started struggling after realizing of what was going to happen. In the end, while the man was driving home with his new born son, the ground shock and the sky became bloody red
{I MYSELF AM GOD, AND AFTER DELIBERATING FOR SOME YEARS I DECIDED TO GRANT YOU ALL A CHOOSE: SHALL I ANNIHILATE HUMANITY OR SHALL I LET THEM RULE THE CREATION?}
Aaron paled and felt dread in his heart, while the man hearing the voice became scared and turned his head only to find his wife and his son motionless with their eyes unfocused. After a moment he choose the first choice and hugged crying his family that returned to normal. The hug lasted only a few seconds, before a white flash stole his eyesight and he felt his own body burning and melting in nothingness.
After the end of the world Aaron was dragged again, and, without giving him time to blame himself, he found himself bound to a cat. It was a common british shorthair cat, loved by her owner. The owner was a young girl, around twelve-thirteen years old; with her parents divorced she only had her cat, that she immensely loved. The cat lived with her since her childhood, she grew with her, sharing her joy and sorrow, until that day
The ground shock and the cat jumped in fright. The young girl, that stayed at home due to her stomach ache, felt scared too and runned to pick the cat up in her embrace.
{I MYSELF AM GOD, AND AFTER DELIBERATING FOR SOME YEARS I DECIDED TO GRANT YOU ALL A CHOOSE: SHALL I ANNIHILATE HUMANITY OR SHALL I LET THEM RULE THE CREATION?}

A voice resounded in her head and she, now capable of understanding the message, filled with love looked at her owner, and, to repay her of her love, decided the first option.
The little girl started moving again but the cat was able to see that she was crying. Worried she tried to comfort her owner, but immediately after a white flash hit her, and she found herself outside, on the road, now full of animals, her owner vanished forever. Someone was crying but the majority, abused by their owner and was now happy that humans were gone
Aaron was still at her side, contemplating the world after the mankind extermination and about his choice.
The next second he was gone, yet again near a different person; this time it was a well built guy that was writing an essay for homework.
The cicle was repeated countless times, until he arrived to a man.
That man's name was Maximilian, did not have a particular childhood, but during the middle school he started to associate with bad guys and became a crook. Later he married and had a son; he worked in a bank while sometimes he chiselled a bit on the cash, sometimes swindling someone.
Until a day when a beautiful woman opened the door of his office. She needed a loan she said; her husband died and she needed some money for her and her son. He tried to make some tease her making some sexual avances but she rejected him. The man never felt so humiliated by a woman, so he deceived her. He said that it was impossible to ask a loan due to the difficult economical situation and gave her the number of a shark loan that was his friend since middle school.
After she indebited and she found out that was tricked she went to the police, but her request got rejected through some corrupted agent in the station.
Maximilian, made aware of the situation was enraged, and ordered some thugs to kidnap her. After telling a lie to his wife he went to the thugs hideout and they raped and killed her. Angry for the unsubmissive gaze of the women until death he traced her son, and, after making him live a living hell he kidnapped him, killed him and sold his organs. With the money then he gifted a jewel to his wife and bribed some officer to silence the case.
After that Maximilian started to adapt to his rich style of life and involved himself with drugs and with the traffic of organs. When God asked his question he chosed instanty the first option, ready to profit from the situation. When the light arrived he was still dreaming, and died without even realizing anything
Aaron when he first was bond to Maximilian was already numb to every sensation, the repeated death of the people near him caused him to be devoid of every emotion, only a massive sense of guilt was left; the cycle of death left him exausted and produced numerous cracks on his soul leaving him only a shadow of his past self.
The first time Aaron saw the picture of the son of the woman in the hands of that man he didn't feel anything, the second time was the same, the third time he saw him with another boy near a park he felt a sharp pain in his soul, and he returned himself. The cracks in the soul started slowly healing themselves.
Yet, when he saw that small body ripped apart, with each organ taken away and the dead body now empty he felt it. Rage. He was able to see it, a black colored gas that leaking from his body was slowly corroding the space, becaming stronger and painting black even his very soul.
With bloodshot eyes he stared at the man and moved. Under the curse one is bound to assist powerless to the live and death of the designated victims without being able to move, talk or ignore the events; yet, he moved.
Aaron started with moving his fingers, after that the hands, the arms, and the whole body. He was able only to see a scarlet light, a willing of slaughter the abomination that had taken pleasure torturing his friend. While slaughtering Maximilian he started to rimember every particular of their friendship, since they where small to the last meeting in the park with him, with Manuel, before his death.
After he remembered his friend's name he slowly recovered his clearness.
Around him there was macabre sight: a pool of blood and gore was covering the floor, while he was surrounded by dark mist with faint red lines. He was covered in blood releasing a demonic aura from his already black soul; his hands were still holding some shattered bowel yet he felt satisfied, he was finally able to personally avenge the death of Manuel.
With this last thought in his mind a single tear fell from his eye, and he fainted.
