Will of chaos

When I enter the house I am once again fascinated, the tree was huge on the outside, because of that the inside of the tree looked like a mansion.

The most fascinating thing for me was when I realized that inside the tree it was not cut or dug, it was as if the house had grown in that shape.

The furniture inside the house on the other hand was created by a very good wooden craftsman, all were wooden furniture.

When I went through the door I was in a room with sofas on one side and a big table on the other side, facing me there was a staircase that leads to the 1⁰ floor, everyone was already looking and exploring the house while I was standing watching all this.

I go to the nearest couch and plop myself on top of it.

"You can leave Nix, it seems there's no use hiding your presence."  (I)

"That Elf named Aredhel as well as everyone else present at that moment must have felt my bloodlust coming from her shadow, master."  (Nix)

"Yes, besides that person who was controlling that Fairy already knew about you, so you don't need to hide anymore, go out a little and have fun with others."  (I)

My shadow expands beside the couch and Nix steps out in her human form.

"Go explore the place with the others, I'm going to lie here a little longer, there were a lot of emotions for me today."  (I)

"Alright, I'll enjoy and keep an eye on Layla so she doesn't do anything to get us into more trouble."  (Nix)

It was only now that I look around and realize that Layla was nowhere to be seen, I didn't even see the moment she disappeared, I was so fascinated by everything I was seeing that I lost sight of other things.

"Just don't let that little Devil do anything bad."  (I)

"I'll do my best, but I don't promise anything."  (Nix)

After Nix left it was just me and Orion in the room, at least that's what I thought before Fairies and Spirits started to leave my shadow and spread through the house.

"Why are you leaving?"  (I)

"They must have realized that they are in a safe and pleasant place, but you don't have to worry as when they are tired they will come back here."  (Orion)

"But they will attract even more attention, they are all Fairies and Spirits of two elements or more, this was supposed to be a rare thing."  (I)

"Without Layla and Nix around to control them, so there's not much you can do, master."  (Orion)

"They are linked to you through the Cradle, but who they obey is only Layla and Nix."  (Orion)

sighs

"You know what, I don't care anymore, more problems will arise anyway if I worry about every single thing that happens I'll end up dying of a heart attack."  (I)

"I see your mood has improved a lot."  (Guardian)

While talking to Orion who was lying on top of me, I feel something crawling up my arm and going to the ground, soon the Guardian was back to her humanoid form.

"Now you don't have to hide anymore, you can go wherever you want."  (I)

"The place I need to go you'll have to go with."  (Guardian)

"No, definitely not."  (I)

"My promise was to bring you to the World Tree, the Elves will let you go there, but I'm sure you'll get in trouble if I do."  (I)

"My promise is kept, what you have to do is not my problem, especially since I don't want any more problems than this trip has already caused me."  (I)

"Your promise was to take me to the World Tree, but this isn't the World Tree, this place is the village of the Elves, that means you haven't fulfilled your promise yet."  (Guardian)

"..." (I)

"Want to be using technical terms with me? When did you become a lawyer?"  (I)

"What is a lawyer?"  (Guardian)

"It doesn't matter, just tell me why do you want me to come along?"  (I)

"I don't know, the World Tree wants you to come along with the Fade and the Spirit who has a contract, but I don't know why."  (Guardian)

"So this is final, I won't, even an idiot can say this will only cause me more trouble."  (I)

"You'd do well to think a little more, not going can also cause problems, the Elves might take this as a sign of disrespect to the World Tree."  (Guardian)

"..." (I)

"Why did I accept that stupid request of yours?"  (I)

"Because I'm so persuasive, I've had centuries of life raising and teaching thousands of Lamias, I've seen people being born, growing up, training, having children, aging and dying."  (Guardian)

"I'm wiser than you in some matters because of that, another reason is that you didn't even consider what my request might be when you made the promise, you accepted it too quickly."  (Guardian)

"..." (I)

"I'll think about it, but I don't promise I'll go, I honestly don't think it's a good idea for me to go."  (I)

"That's halfway there, I hope you think about it, in the meantime I'll look for a place where I can eat some fruit."  (Guardian)

"(There are so many things to think about, I can't understand why the World Tree wants me to go, is it because I'm a child of the Goddess Selene?)" (I)

I knew that one day being the child of a Goddess might bring some responsibilities, but I didn't think it would happen anytime soon.

Me being the son of a Goddess is the only reason I could think of, I don't know what kind of power this World Tree has so I have to imagine that she knows I'm the son of the Goddess Selene if that's not the reason for me to have to go with the Guardian, so I don't know anything else.

I spent the rest of the afternoon lying on the couch just trying to understand everything that had happened, Freya told me that there are three big bedrooms and a big bathroom on each floor of this house, plus the kitchen and food storage is here on the ground floor.

This place looks less like a mansion than I imagined, it looks more like an inn, anyway, everyone had already chosen their rooms for the afternoon, they left the biggest room on the 5th floor for me before we went to eat something Freya prepared.

After the food I went to the room where I find Kira and Diana waiting for me, tonight Kira was much more aggressive and passionate than I expected.

When the moon is at its highest point in the sky the two were already passed out in bed, I had gone out the window and was at the top of the tree lying on the highest branch.

I always end up resorting to my habit of seeing the night sky, it calms me down and relaxes me, this is one of the biggest constants for me in this world and something I can't help but do.

"May I join you?"
