《Eternal Requiem》Crescendo: 'Duality'

Crrrrrccckkk–BOOOM!
Thunder cracks and echoes loudly in the sky,
It doesn’t rain at all in the Great City Pluton given the weather is controlled by it’s inhabitants,
Crrrrrccckkk–BOOOM!
Thunder booms angrily, through the rain,
The entirety of Terra rains, but not just the former first ring, it rains all across Tellus and Gaia as well,
This is spurred on due to pseudo combination of the rings, the weather and even time zone is now in perfect sync across them all,
Crrrrrccckkk–BOOOM!
The rain falls slowly and calmly yet thunder barks like a pack of mad dogs.
BOOOM!
It only sounds off within Pluton,
This thunder, alien to current weather, isn’t even a creation of the weather,
Rather it’s –
–BASH—KABRABAAM!
Apollo rams the sword into a tank-like vehicle launching it into similar vehicles behind
With each step he makes a thunderous crashing follows suit,
Rain trickles down his face washing away the stain of his tears,
Clouds of smoke from the wreckage and carnage the man is currently causing, builds up over the sky like dark clouds,
“Where is Kage!?” Apollo shouts, gazing around the city of Pluton which, now is in silent uproar, due to the strong aura of mana radiating off him, it disables everyone within a field’s distance of him,
Not even the people alone but their tech as well also fail against vengeful angry hybrid human,
However despite all of this,
Not a soul has perished,
Not a single death caused by Apollo’s hand, as he moves steadily towards the First Mansion
An unstoppable force….
…..
…..
*****
“Do finally understand what you are to us humans Kage?” Xezus’ voice echoes sounding of admiration and condescension simultaneously
I can’t see where he is nor can I perceive my surrounding, only his perfect monotone voice…
(I don’t even know anymore,

Maybe, no, not maybe, he his definitely right,
I am not a human, merely an object that holds many memories,
All of which belonged to real people at some point in time)
….
(Nothing I do matters, no choice I make mine…)
Even now as I think Himari’s memories flood my mind, her influences her goals becoming my goals
“No answer means you do get it now do you Kage?” Presses the Supreme leader
……
I still do not reply
(What could I say again?
That he’s wrong, that I’m real?
Stop thinking doesn’t even sound that bad)
“You know when we first discovered you I was alive it was thousands of years ago, but I still remember like it was yesterday,
A light bursting out of the tower, our blue sky turning into a spectrum of color, and the sight of death,
Angels and Demons, those mana beings at war with each other fighting over something,
At the time we didn’t know what, but the through the chaos our people managed to nab you, and what a sight you were beautiful you weren’t alive, but not dead either, just incomplete,
Because of our research on your body we were able to partially replicate it, giving us the knowledge to create perfect bodies,
It’s the only reason I’m still alive today Kage, thanks to you,”
“……..”
(What is he even talking about?
Do I even care?
What do I feel that is solely mine?
What do I have?)
“Fuck off!” I suddenly tell out into the void,
My voice echoing back to me
“I don’t care
I don’t care
I don’t care!
Aghhhhhhhh!
I don’t care
I don’t care!”
Like a child throwing a tantrum I repeatedly cry out
“Corpses,
Perfect bodies
New earths
Peace unity

Fuck you!
Fuck all of it!
I don’t care what your reasons or justifications are
I’m not trying to be hero!
I am not the villain here after
I’m not an object
I’m Kage
Just Kage
And I don’t care
I don’t care
I don’t care
Leave me alone, Let me be
I want to stop thinking about everything,
So I can find time to find out what I really want for myself
I need to find my own balance, not your balance,
Fuck it!”
(All I have to myself that makes me, me
All I’ve got
All I’ve got is insane)
“Hhhhhhhhh!” a loud sigh reverberates throughout the void around me
“I know that you are a little over two years old in consciousness Kage,
But I now understand you have not yet matured,”
(And if insane I’ve always been then so be it)
EeeeeeeeIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!
The high-pitched buzzing starts up once more drilling into my eardrums the painful screeching,
“We will have plenty time from now until forever Kage,
Your body has already served it’s purpose for us, .
And I promise you, your mind will as well, it’s the only way for humanity to advance to a future where we are our own gods,
But…
On the topic of things of that nature, it seems Apollo is causing catastrophe in my city looking for you,
I think that it is time I took this opportunity to send a message, make an example if you may,
So I shall leave you for now Kage,
Off two show that hybrid human the strength of the supreme leader,
Truly an immovable object.”

The Adventurer's Guild(master)
In a world of adventure, magic, and kingdoms, only one man can keep it all from falling apart. As much as he wished that wasn't the case. This is the story of the man who became the guild master of the most prestigious adventurer's guild in the kingdom, and then came to completely regret that decision, as he is forced to keep the peace, file paperwork, and babysit adventurers. The life of a guild master is not as great as it once seemed. Note: The prologue is an extended -probably should have not took it that far- joke and is completely skippable from the rest of the series. This is my first work on this website, or on any website to be honest, so criticism is more than welcome. Feel free to leave comments on any chapter, not just the latest one.
