Cherreads

Chapter 108 - The plight of sun

With Sun I sit on the small boat. I keep my heat sense extended, although with how big bloodwave actually is its a little hard. I lean against the sails with my eyes closed and a diving helmet in my lap. Seer of the infinite keeps on humming seemingly completely calm.

"You don't like the ocean i take it"

I scoff loudly

"Of course I don't."

She chuckles and she starts tapping on the walls of the ship.

"I suppose that does make sense considering the dark sea. I wonder"

She leans forward

"Does it hang over your head? Do you think about it regularly? Do you see the ocean and does fear rise in your hea-"

She falls back to the other side of the boat as I deck her.

"I am a saint don't forget that. Even if I can't kill you, I am still far stronger then you."

It starts with a breathless laugh, and it slowly turns into insane laughter. I scowl as I sit back down from punching her. Bloodwave huffs under the waves.

I was assigned to go on special missions. There a few I've been on, killing nightmare creatures, dealing with the occasional human and all that. This time I'm helping get a citadel for the midnight actors guild with bloodwave and seer of the infinite. She insisted this one far out citadel om the storm sea. Apparently its a mechanical ship or whatever. Thing is, she's so god damn annoying. Bloodwave is okay but good god seer of the infinite is the most insufferable person I've ever met. I hate it, I hate this damn assignment. I really really don't like the damn ocean. At least she made the boat so I didn't have to. Why did she even choose one so far out of the way? It doesn't matter its seer of the infinite, she's god damn weird.

With Death I pace around the throne room my steps hurried and almost panicked.

"You tell me all of that and you still haven't told me how to stop it"

Singer floats there like the 3rd sovereign planning on using all of humanity to become a god is normal and not a disaster of a magnitude that could rival the domain war. Words appear in the air

"Become a sovereign"

I snap at her

"And how do you expect me to do that?"

She tilts her head

"I am not you, I can not do it for you my dear"

I lean on the wall with a heavy sigh

"I'm not your child. I have a mother"

She actually laughs

"Why not?"

I slam my hand into the wall behind me

"I already said I have a mother, one that doesn't manipute me and everyone around me"

She tilts her head

"And what has she done for you? Always working and working and working. She forgot you unless you had to be punished. You dont even keep contact with her."

I desummon her as I slide down, this is too stressful. I have to become a sovereign to safe all of humanity. This.... is too much. Too damn much.

I'm in charge of this circus. I assign roles, I tell everyone what to do. Thats my job. I can only hope their strong enough to do their roles. Its my fault that heart is dead, its my fault they can't return to Beth. I have to do this, its my job. I hate that I have to be alone as I do but I've tried and nobody can get here. And.... and with the 3rd rapidly approaching I have to make preparations. Even if I still have war to counteract him, if I become a sovereign then war will be even stronger most likely. Right now their leading the exploration cohort. I'll have to keep looking into the subject of snow ability. Still all this does make me question something, why did unrelenting storm drop that memory? Its very odd as a idea, why did they drop a ice bound memory? How and why. I have bigger problems 'frozen singer' or her real name, the Chained god of erosion.

With Sun I finally stand up looking out at the water. Bloodwave glances over to me.

"Rank?"

"Fallen demon. I'll deal with it"

I dip my hand into the water and I freeze a large area of it killing the fallen demon without much trouble. I sir back with a groan of annoyance. This is going to take too long. Faster. I need this to go faster i swear to the gods this is some real bullshit.

"Having fun?"

"No"

I tap my fingers on the side of the boat. Now how should I speed this up. Hmmm i have a idea, its guess I should test this one out. A simple way to use cetus as a work horse. Although I'll have to get one of the other ones to make a more official version of it. Cetus comes up from the water and I make a harness out of ice and finally the problem is over as speed up. I lean back knowing this is all going to be over faster. Bloodwave hums and seer of the infinite chuckles.

With death my pen scratches at the large paper. A map of the whole massive area. This will be important for making trades routes. I look up at the message with a sigh. I send one of the very few ice statues I keep around to make something for that ice shard. Then I go back to what I was doing. It will take some time to finish what I plan. This map could very well take some time but with it I could likely help out the exploration and taking complete control of this area, a real army needs a comprehensive map after all. I just have to deal with him. To kill the ash prince twice, even if this once is a mercy is incredibly cruel isn't it.
