- interludes found it-
"thirteen thousand and five hundred lambs, thirteen thousand and five hundred one lambs.."
*sigh*
i exhale my breath
it's been boring here recently that i have nothing to do..
- story of the world -
long time ago, before this world is created
in the distant star
there was an omnipotent group that reaches the inner peak of universe
said group of people already exhausted and bored with anything
creating world, making new plasma theory, black hole, new galaxy..
those people are already know everything that needs to be known
until finally
they’re exhausted.
they tried to do everything to make entertainment to themself
but it's no use
knowing secret of immortality and longevity, they have no need to worried about the passing time
and finally
they decided to "disappear"
one by one, they start to accept "death"
normally such being cannot be killed with any means
but that's different matter altogether if theyre the one asked for it
the last remaining one of them start to wonder
about joy of live
about the wonder of living
so it created "something"
a child with a part of their power but without their knowledge
the child still had some basic knowledge
however things that reach the truth of universe is excluded
after all, it won't be good if that child ends up like them and decide to disappear
after all, only without knowing anything that one is desperately wants to "live"
the immortals realize it too late
so it pray
it pray that the child isn't made the same mistake like them
by living with the child and teaching her about everything necessary for her the last immortal departed too
satisfied, he disappeared
after the creator gone, the child is alone
the child start to create a place with a living being
in order to fulfill the wish of her "creator"
to find out the meaning of living
she decided of the name of the planet
the planet name is named "horun"
however it's just something that child decide on her own
because the planet civilization level is low, she descend sometimes to teach them basic of survival
it seems like, something called magic exist here
so she decided to teach about them too
having received knowledge and power from her, they respectfully called her a goddess
without minding it too much, she accept it silently
time passes..
with knowledge that the goddess teaching them
the human grow rapidly
at the same time
some intelligent life form other than human is showing up from nowhere.
The human is teaching them about civilization and magic
the human accept them as their own and start to live together
but not all is good
some of the life form act on their own and getting greedy
learning about civilization, they start to want everything for their own kind
that race, will be known as "demons"
-few thousand years later-
having observed it for so long
makes the goddess happy

supposedly, she only need to observe the life form in here, and doing what her creator told her to
to find the wonder of living
however she grown attracted to people there
sometimes they cry, sometimes they happy, sometimes they curse, sometimes they spat
because she was immersed for too long it's already impossible to leave
by receiving their faith and loyalty, the goddess power increased
her being itself, is tied to this world already
of course, she don't regret it
after all she loves this planet already
but feeling lonely sometimes she wants a companion
so she made three creatures based on her observation of another world called earth
the three children have different personality
the dragon, argevalt is short tempered but care about their comrade
the phoenix, is hopelessly noisy if it's a talking about love like nagging girlfriend
while the gorgon, is a quiet and reserved child
goddess was happy
now she won't be alone anymore
of course, there's a time when she got that kind of delusion...
"to think, they all suddenly said " mother, we want to be free" mou!"
the goddess is playing with blocks inside her room
"and i already shower them with that much love! how-dare-they- leaving me alone"
"especially gorgon, i don't think she had the nerve to leaving me. especially since she always used to cry on my lap back then!"
goddess start to complained
"after that it really is a mess.. argevalt is impressed with demon race boldness for trying to conquer the world and giving them his blessing. now he's become their god and they got some nerve calling me an evil goddess!"
"phoenix.. uhmm, i didn't hear much about her lately, other than she said want to make the best brothel in the world? seriously what's that child thinking? i created her but even i don't know what she's thinking"
"seriously, aren't they too carefree? from where did they inherit that personality from?"
"while gorgon.."
reminding about her third creation, she start to made sad expression
"you trying to protect a single child and that makes you being hunted. you can even fight back easily but decides to not to.."
yes
the third, gorgon is already departed from this world already
just by trying to protect a single kid that falls in front of king carriage she accidently destroyed the carriage
fortunately the king isn't there, but his beloved daughter charlotte is
furious, the king pouring every resource in his country to hunt gorgon
normally even hunting such a legendary being is unthinkable, but the reward offered makes people goes blind
being hunted down , gorgon didn't even fight back and accept her death
"after she was killed and her body part is taken by various people, that said country is the first one to disappear from demon invasion. it's probably argevalt doing, that kid won't forgive those who touch his kin. well, they got their own dessert i suppose"
"i heard the kid she saved now become called a founder holy woman and creating a holy city. umm what's the country called again? alexandria?"

not interested with country affairs, the goddess ponders
"but really, it's been recently boring with me alone. sometimes i bring hero from another world to here because they offer me sweets and food unique from their world. but last time it's been called is already 50 years ago"
thinking about it would be the hero summoning time soon
"i guess i can relieve my boredom a little. they had many interesting things to tell, perhaps this time i’ll summon them to this place?"
at that moment
goddess feel something strange
"this is.. hero summoning? but why, it isn't the time yet.. ah, it's that country huh. they got the nerve ignoring my prophecy and summon heroes as they like"
actually, heroes doesn't need goddess permission to be summoned
however because the hero that offer sweets and food for goddess received blessing as thanks it was considered staple that only heroes permitted by the goddess receive the blessing
that's why the others thinks it's heresy to summon hero without her blessing
no, actually just offering good food and sweet is enough to makes goddess giving them blessing
but since she feel it's troublesome to explain she decided to play along
that's why she start to get carried away inside her head
"hmph, for stupid people that dares to defy me.. let's see, i'll make your country filled with fleas and every people will have a stone inside their shoes. feel the god wrath, ahahahaha!"
she start talking un-goddess like.
"whatever, i'm bored anyway. might as well seeing them. "
saying like that, she start to munch popcorn and creating big 100 inch-screen image
after watching for some time, she start to get immersed of it
the people in country is boring as usual, making boring scene and plan
goddess only thought to them is divine punishment probably won't work on those idiots
the heroes is typical like usual too, nothing seems different from usual
having a everflowing sense of justice and fighting to save the world
she had seen that kind of scene too much already
no matter who wins, the other side is the one thats gonna suffer
acting as observer, she start to look different people around like changing channel
and one of them
she can't turn her view from it
"uwaah, be careful on your above. ah there, incoming on side. ouch, that looks painful even though they’re just a low life."
she start to get excited seeing a fight
honestly it was a low level fight compared to the battle of sword saint and dragon king, when the hero's fight demon king. it won't match their level
however, seeing a single girl desperately clinging on her life while using everything she got
the goddess cannot avert her eyes
"ah, here comes the big one! ahh.. it's probably gonna be over this time. their status difference is too big. she won't be able to win"
the one coming out next is the strongest among them
normally thinking it probably won't even become a fight
like an adult fighting a child, it's not gonna be end up nicely
the goddess too thought it's gonna be over instantly. but
"eh, what that? to think magic scroll could be used like that. ah..!"
the explosion surround the big guy body
the goddess surprised
it was a move beyond her prediction
but..
"did she win?"
reality is cruel
the big one still standing
having exhausted everything she collapsed
she still hurl abusive words and her spirit is high, but she won’t be able to fight anymore
like this, the result is clear
"unfortunately, in the end status is everything huh. i can't blame arge for thinking power is everything. perhaps he was correct at the end"
the big man already leave, and the girl is surrounded and started to getting mobbed by the hoodlums
thinking there was no need to watch any longer, the goddess leave and takes a bath
-after some time-
"pwah, drinking fruit milk is the best after bath"
after relaxing with un-goddess face, she said that
"mm, i guess i can just go to sleep but im still want to wake a little longer. so should i play ayatori? ugh but playing alone is kinda.."
actually she doesn't need to sleep and can wake up forever
however it's not like she can't. sleeping is like a luxury for her
just because you don't need to doesn't mean you can't
having too much free time, she was doing it like usual
after taking a glance, she remember she didn't turn off the tv yet
"ah how careless of me. mm? that girl is still alive? but her condition looks bad. ah? isn't that a piece of gorgon skin? probably some cave that kid used previously huh"
getting pretty interested, she decided to take a quick look
"ah"
the remote is slipped, and the volume accidently turn on to max
"..NO"
she heard her voice
"..NO, NOT LIKE THIS.. I.. WON'T"
it was ragged voice
the voice looks weak, the sound is trembling
however
for some reason
it seems to touch something inside the goddess
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
a scream
accompanied by lightning, it adds the impact
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
a scream from her very being
"LIKE HELL I GONNA LOSE! YOU, DAMN MOON! WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT, AAH? YOU THINK SO ALL MIGHTY AND GREAT LOOKING AT US FROM ABOVE? HUUH? WHAT ARE YOU STARING AT, TREES? JUST BECAUSE YOU STILL ALIVE YOU LOOK SO SMUG HUH? FUCK IT, SCREW YOURSELF UP!!"
*thud*
the girl fall
the goddess getting quiet
honestly she doesn't understand what the girl is talking about
all of it, it's bizarre
if she didn't want to die then why didn't she run to outside of forest from the start?
instead of taking care of the hoodlum one by one, why not ignore them and running away?
if she knows fighting that big guy meant certain death, then why provoke him instead?
considering her appearance looks harmless, if she begs for her live since the start wont she probably spared ?
even if that means becoming their toys or plaything isn't that okay as long you're survive?
yet..
why did all of her action are opposite of that?
why did she stare at death heads on instead of averting from them?
why did.. she looks so beautiful?
i don’t understand
i don’t understand at all, but..!
a tears
it was a unconscious action
probably the goddess didn't expect it
that, after 2000 years
she can still feels what human called "emotion"

8 119The Sagas of Mortaholme
There is only one god and his name is Elduin, Dwarves are stories, magic isn’t real and the northern kingdoms are made up of raiders and the unfaithful. For two thousand years this has been the truth for the people of Alturine, the holy southern empire. For two thousand years, tradition has been leeched away to form a vicious cycle where the rich stay rich and the poor beget more poverty. Only now, when the southern realms of men are at their lowest does darkness leak back to stake its claim. Marius was raised in the northernmost reaches of Alturine under the trees of the Black Forest where remnants of the old kingdoms still linger. He never believed the stories of short mountain men, nor the old fables about mages and dragons. Yet the darkness cares little for belief and faith. He watched as wargs tore his mother and sister asunder, as the undead carried his father into their ranks and as his town was put to the torch and drowned in blood. Rage fuelled and vengeful Marius struck out against the architect of his misery only to be outmatched and left for dead.
