These words were heard by every single person in the hall, and then every single one of them laughed, there was no way for the traitors to survive. At least that's what everyone thought.
"I'm punishing you, you will spend eternity in hell under Lucifer's command, on the glaciers above the Sea of Souls. Each day your hearts will be pierced by the demons and each ti you will be revived and scorched by the pain of the soul-burning glaciers. You will wish to die, but this will never happen. Take them away!"
With these words of Nyx, the whole hall fell silent, after a long ti, one of the most severe punishnts that could be given to a god was given. Indeed, no one would wish to be in Sopdu's and the others' shoes, even death was an easier escape.
Yet Nyx did not want to leave them with an easy death. The severe punishnt ted out here on this date was a ssage to their enemies. Whoever wanted to attack Nyx and her family could try, but whoever tried to kill her warrior would be given one of the harshest punishnts possible, they would wish to die every second of every minute of every hour of every day.
That was a certainty.
"It was the perfect punishnt," Erebus said suddenly, and Nyx, hearing this, turned her head to her husband sitting next to her and gave him a big kiss on the lips.
It was good enough to drive Erebus mad with happiness.
"Our work here is done, all we have to do now is watch what Jas is going to do, he's already talking to Ariel, let's see what's going on," Nyx said suddenly, and with that, voices could be heard again through the large window in the lounge:
-----
"You know what I'm saying, if the Chaos Guild is going to recruit its first mber, it should definitely be you." Jas was sitting and talking with Ariel inside a cafe.
Ariel didn't seem to be very happy, it was obvious that she didn't trust Jas like that, and it was just the reason that confused Jas.
After all these thoughts, Ariel suddenly turned her head and looked at the sun, which was already setting.
"Do you know why I never trust those around ?" Ariel asked and Jas shook his head, "No, but I'd be honoured to know and listen."
Ariel took a deep breath and then finally began to speak:
"I didn't have a very good life when I entered the tower. You know the classics. My boyfriend was a banker, he was killed in a robbery, I was left alone with my daughter, my daughter was 18 years old, a legal age...I still didn't want to leave her."
"My daughter didn't think the sa, she left the city to go to a university. Unfortunately, my daughter disappeared, and it was obvious that she had been kidnapped, I searched for her for almost two years, and I contacted the police, but she was never found...my daughter."
As Jas listened to Ariel's speech, a strange sadness continued to fill his heart every second.
"After almost three years, one day my phone rang, and when I answered it, I learnt that a diver had found a dead body in the river," Ariel said, and her eyes welled up with tears.
"That body...." Jas said, his teeth clenched in anger.
"Yes, it was my daughter's. The autopsy gave us a few answers, but it was obvious that it was a rape and a big investigation was launched to find out who did it. The houses in the area where the river runs were checked one by one, just in case, and in one of the houses they found photos and videos, in short, concrete evidence of how my daughter died."
"I understand...I can't imagine what you're going through," Jas said, not even in a way to comfort the woman in front of him.
"No Umbra, I wasn't in pain at the ti, I was angry. I was angry because I knew the people who did it, it was my uncle and his wife who owned the house. I saw in the videos that it was my aunt who raped my daughter and my uncle who killed her. Then I killed them in a way you can't imagine, and then I got an invitation from the tower and the rest is history."
As soon as Jas heard this, he could no longer hold back the tears and they finally rolled down his face, luckily there was nothing around to listen to them, Jas had rented the place.
Jas didn't know what to say after this heavy story, and Ariel smiled seeing Jas crying.
"I'm not much different. I saw my parents get blown up in a car accident, my girlfriend probably cheated on and broke up with after a long relationship, and I got an invitation from the tower when I was suicidal. We're not so different, but you've suffered a lot more," Jas said suddenly, it sounded like sothing he was telling Ariel to calm himself, not to comfort her.
"I won't bother you anymore, please forgive , I didn't an to bring up bad mories, I just wanted soone I could trust," Jas said suddenly.
Ariel's eyes lit up when she heard that.
"Aren't you going to ask how old I am? I an, you were talking like we were the sa age at the ti of the duel. I know you are curious, you should've seen your eyes when I said I had an 18-year-old daughter," Ariel said as if she was trying to deflect the subject.
"Well...it's not that I'm not curious, but I didn't an to be rude," Jas said, and Ariel, hearing this, said, "I'm forty-one."
Jas smiled when he heard Ariel's age and said, "Haha...you're the age my mum died, what a strange irony."
After all that, he stood up and prepared to leave the place, not wanting to cause Ariel any more trouble. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a call from behind him and turned around, saying, "Yes?"
He saw Ariel smiling, he couldn't understand what was going on, but at that very mont he heard the one thing he wanted to hear:
"This Chaos Guild...what exactly do I have to do to join? And what will my rank be?"
"You want to join?" Jas suddenly said, there was no way for him to express his surprise.
Hearing this question, Ariel said, "I don't fully trust you, it's impossible for right now, but I believe that two individuals who have been through the sa path can be good friends with each other. If you allow , yes, I would like to join the guild."
This was the day when the second mber of the Chaos Guild joined the guild, the day when the pain and evil were rembered and finally the glimr of hope and happiness was felt.
Indeed, life was treating everyone strangely.
