《Chaotic Natural: God cry (progression fantasy)》
Pirate sails in River of Time
In the distance depth of the dark universe, there shins the starts. massive and beautiful, warm and colurfull, there shine reaches the furthest depths of the universe, brightening countless worlds.
Drifting among this drakness and the stars, is a, one lonly spaceship, appears like an oval-shaped balloon, crafted by the humans living in the age of industrial, powers by the two rudimentary rockets, this spaceship drift through the space like a massive whale on the deep sea, slowly but very powerfully.
inside this lonesome ship is a atmosphere totally different from the outside silence and emptiness. it isn''t filled with errie silence or neither does it had lonesome aura, instead it was bustling with people''s and pipes of metal that constantly pushes out steaming hot air. the voices and screams of the countless unmannerd people''s echos through the every Ince of the ship. Even tho it''s divided into floors with jail cells to lock these unruly peoples, there screams and voices are not something a mare floor could prevent from leaking, however, even if it can, it woud be pointless becus of the giant hole right at the center of the each floor. This hole, apperd like a decoration, had two purpose, one is for figures in high up floor to look down on lower floors while other being it''s opposite.
Walking through each of these jail cells are the officers of law, dressed in there titled dress, a long blue pants, Navy blue colur tunic or frock coat equipped with brass or silver buttons. A round top hat in each ones head. They march through Each corridor of the floors, carefully checking for any unuaual behavior of these god forsaken prisoners.
At the moment, on the highest floor of the ship where there are no any rakless sound or steaming hot air filling the space. from inside a closed door guarded by two neatly dressed officers, a faint echo of a voice is leaking out..
"Assuult and battery, Murdure.. Mess murders, vandalism, Conspiracy, mess torture, physicalogy abuse, theft.. Identity theft...."
Sitting in a comfortbale chair is a chubby man, his leg placed on the table infront while reading a latter in his hand.
On the otherside of the table where the seat for the guests are at, a man with sunburned skin is focusing on the news pepar on his hand minding his own business while blowing up a smoke.
The two are in a cozy room, a warm fire is burning beside the two, and in the walls hanged extravagant looking paint. In one place, there are metlic armour, nearby to it is box full of wands and colurfull crystals, some wands are even embuded with gems, uprooting there value. They all put in tightly sealed glass cases, like some highly value treasures.
"All this, one man?, and they giving him to us?, how are we supposed to deal with this"
at the end of his read the chubby man placed the file in his hand on the table and look at the man in the seat of guest with a frown.
"Well.." responded the other man while turning a page of his newspaper, and continuing after. "You were supposed to look into that before we depart, aren''t you"
Twitches the eyebrows of the chubby man as soon as he heard those words, awkward and hasitate, sweat slightly came out from his forehead. "Ahem!, I see, maybe I have missed it, oh, right, there was that latter my beloved sent to me, I must have froget to check this while I gone to retrieve it" he strained, than roteted the seat of his chair to other side, facing back to the other.
The man on guest lowered the newspaper in his hand from his eye just enough to Loook at the chubby man, to the things other said the man decide to stay silent. Obviously, it''s not becus he believe whatever the things he blabeld, not at all, he clearly knew what other said was a lie. Why?, because from his own eyes he saw how this captain of his ship Secretly sneaked in to the nearby strip club before departing, and having fun. Going out while there''s tone of work in the ship is forbids by the law, if reported, the punishment he face woud be severe. Even demote to lower ranks might be possible. and maybe at that moment he who is the current vice captain will surly get the chance to be a real captain of a ship for once.
But strangely, despite knowing this, the man decide to stays silent, very painfully thinking about it. not becus he''s loyal to this chubby captain of his, not at all, the answere is, because the only reson he manage to saw his captain in that strip club only because he was also alredy in there. If somone look deeper into things and find out about him, he too will get into danger.
"Froget it now, what happen alredy happened, what we have to do now is to finish this job properly, after that we''ll demand a bonus for this," said the captain as he rotate back.
"Vice captain, increased the gurd around the prisoner and monitor him continuesly, and also inform about his abnormal conditions to guards taking care of him"
Gave the command captain, vice captain foleded the newspaper and it put on the table as he stood up saying "Yas captain"
¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ
Meanwhile in the lowest floor of the ship, where the light dimmed and constant sound of an engine roaring echos noisily while steaming air fills the space, three patrolling officers are talking to each other in serious manner, each one of there face is full of determination. Right beside the three is a cart full of food for the prisoners.
"Than there I was, sitting while searching everyone came in. There I saw her, beautiful like a start in the night sky, smooth and soft like a new born baby, I ask her, who she is and she told me, she''s our new supervising Engineers .....AND I''ll be damned if I give this precious chance to be with her alone to anyone else" scremd one of the guards looking at the other two, all the three are holding there hand forward preparing for somthing.
"felles! , felles! , we all know we ain''t got many female workers In here right, so we''ll gotta Shere them don''t you think, just give this chance to me to get to know her a bit" said another gurd, showing a cheeky smile on his face.
"What? excuse me, first of all, chife gave this latter to me, he said me to go and help her with the work, not you. so why do i have to bet on with you" said the last one, looking at the other two.
"there''s no way in hell I''m going to give this chance to anyone else, I''m sure chife didn''t named you specially, he just want somone to assist her with the work, and alos if I remember correctly you still owe me, when are you going to give back my money you got.. yeah, where my pants you borrow that day" the other two guards scream at once.
"Alright, alright, let''s go on with this," yield the officer with the latter in his hand in hurry seeing things Turing into a terrible direction.
the three focus on there clenched hand and after very challenging round of rock pepar scissors the winner was finally decided. It was the gurdsn who first saw the woman.
"this is the fate, she and I, we destined to be with each other" said the winner with a laugh. "Tch!, lucky basterd, but bet is a bet alright, however remember, chife said you have to know the stuff in here to help her so you better rember them" the guard with the latter toss the latter at the other gurdsn as he turn around to grab the cart full of food, no longer interest in staying there he began to push it and walk away the other gurd who also failed joined him, having the same thoughts.
"Actually, why we got only one engineer in our ship, also if she''s needed help from anyone wouldn''t somone with a bit of a knowkage about those stuff be much more help insted of us, not that I dislike it"
"I dont know man, thay say and we do, that''s all I can say, and that''s all I care" the two guards voices turn from clear to a whisper as they moved further and further away from the other guard.
As they left the remaining gurd hurriedly opend the latter, he''s impatient and just want to remember the thing before rush to see the woman. However, as he opned the latter he suddnky frozed, inside the damn letter is not words but numbers mixed with formula and otherstuff that needed to do calculation.
"Oh Come on" in the dark and quiet passege, echoed the painful voice of the poor guard.
Time flows unstoppabley, neither too fast nor too slow, and minutes turn into hours.
When the two guards dragging the cart of food came to finish there work they stood Infront of a closed metel door, the cart which had been full of packed food is now almost empty. in the previously quite passage, now echoes the voice of the criminals enjoying there food.
The two guards stood infront of the metalic door, and one took out a key from his pockets.
"So is this the new prisoner" ask the other guards, who''s apparently in the first time on lowest floor.
"Yeah, and let me tell you this guy is a craazy" said the other while opening the door reveling the otherside.
As the second gurd look inside he first noticed the deep darkness inside the room and errie silence that swallowed any sound, even the one that coming from outside. However, more importantly in the center of all this there''s was one light, like the shine of the bright moon, decenting from above, brightining a figure hanging just a step above the air while wrapped by chains from his head to toe.
The whole scene apperd somewhat magical.
"Let''s go" said the other guard while pulling the cart and walking into the room.
looking at the chained figure the second guard step in, he somehow become tiny bit scared, seeing the bizzer scene in the room.
"Here, unlock the chins around his mouth with this, I''ll preperd food till than" the first guard passed a key to the second gurd when they infront of the figure, "think you an do that"
"Alright" said the second guard taking a step forward, getting closer to the chained fugure and standing Infront of him. He felt weired, like standing infront of a statue, or a dead man. there was no breathing or any sound coming from this man. a man? - when he first saw the chained figure he also got the question whether is this a man or a lady, though his colleague alredy address to this figure by ''him'' term, nothing can be sure untill he saw it from his own eyes, be it is, when he look at the chest area that had no any bumps his sucpicioius disappeared like a mist infront of the sun.
His wave of thought got distracted by first guard who began to pick up the food from cart, it causes a sound that echos for few second before disappearing in the silent room.
second guard pick up his peace, stracth his hand and look for the part where he can unlock the mouth area of the figure. and he found it, right Behind others neck, a little lock, unlocking it with the key, he removed the chains, reveling the lower part of the figures face where bruised and deep cut mark can be seen across his face.
But at that moment right when he fully removed that chains suddneky ths figures mouth twitch, and the guard become unease.
"Boo.. "
"Arghh" stepped back the guard hurridly in fright, bumping into the poor first guard Who is trying reach the bottom of the cart, at the moment when he was bumped he lost the foot in outside and fall into the the cart
"What the hell" annoyed, he screamed and tried get back up, but than he realised he was stuck.
"give me a hand"
second guard who is alredy apologising hurriedly step up to help, grabbing from the guards leg he pulled him up.
"Kha-kha-ha"
Echoed a loud laugh through the room breaking the silence, a one sinister and nonchalant. The two guards look at the chained figure who is the source of this laugh.
"Ugh! Let''s get this over quikly" said the first guard as he step out from the cart and picked a one of the packed food, it was not solid but lquified food. As mush as he hate the fact, for the safety measures he cannot give food to this prisoner hand, and because of that the guard need to feed him like a baby.
Thinking about that the guard felt a headache.
"You step back and watch how this done," said him to second guard and the latter obeyed. insted of a one he took few step, Getting far away as possible, it was than that he saw the back of this chained figure. There was a object, like a meal pole, glowing and shining, sticking out from his back, or rether piercing through his back. Upon seeing that the gurd shudders even more.If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.
"Alright pirate, time to get you''re dinner, this would have been lot easier if i coud just use a ''Deus'' but unfortunately for both of us we can''t use any in here" said the first guard. A moment later he tried to pour the soup like food into the melian mouth, but despite his effort he failed to feed any of it to him. In his failed attmpt the guard sigh and said in a pleading voice.
"Don''t make this difficult man, now or later you gone ended up with this thing in you''re stomach anyway".
It was Than melian opned his mouth, but not to eat but to speak of course.
"A rich man eats with hope that he.. will live another day in luxury, and a poor man, well a poor eat hoping that one day he will be rich and happier ever after, quite delutional hope I say. but I''m....I''m neither the rich nor the poor, you see I''m a but a prisoner, shlaked with chain in this drak corner. tell me, why shoud I Continued to feed this body, is it to live in this suffering, to continued to be in the drak, accompany by chains"
It was a deep voice align with a sorrow and tiredness.
As he was saying the memories of the past sprout before his eyes, he was originally a ordinary man living in street, In a change of destiny he bumped into the world of mana and deus and walk the path of a pirate, the name pirate didn''t mean a one that sail in a ship with a crew, in the world of deus a pirate is a one that isn''t willing to be bind by the law, he isn''t obey any law neither any morality, he only does things that benefite him, and for his grater good. In those time where he sore through the word, they addressed him in a name, the puppet pirate melian.
But a person like this is a curse to well organised society, people''s binded by morality, law and imaginary justice are willing hunt a pirate as soon as they see one.
However It isn''t a fact he didn''t forsee, It was a fact he''s very well preperd. A long time, for two hundred years he''s been a pirate feard by all. Things woud have been greater when he robbed an ancient legacy ground. But something unexpected happened and he felt into a trap, a trap set by a soul of an otherworldly cultivator. invading his body it tryed to seize him. Fortunately with a trace of luck by his side after a very decisive battle he manage to over come it. but some of the personality of the cultivatar got absorb into to him and mixed into his own personality. When it all done and over he escaped the tomb, but just like how cold winter comes aftera warm summer, just after a lucky time misfortune awaited him. from out of nowhere a long metal pole ariived and struck him like thunder, he Clearly remberd that moment, as soon as that cursed pole pierced into him all of his ability began to disappear slowly, as a result except for a one tiny puppet thread that he''s keeping with his pure will power all the other supernatural enrgy in his body has disappeared with the time. and as a result he easily got cought.
Now he''s restrained, waiting in the dark. alone, untill one day they decide to hang him to death.
Melian words silent the guard for a moment, but he soon regain his composure, "nice talk, now please open that mouth of yours" saying he walk closer agin and tryed to pour the soup into Melians mouth.
Melian lifted his head, even tho chains wrapped All over his head, he can still see slightly from the tiny gap through them. And through them he look, to see the guard who''s trying to do his job, pitifully knowing that he''s going to fail this time too.
A moment passes, somthing is weird and strange, melian look through the gaps again and saw the moving hand of the guard, they are indeed moving toward him, but very slolwy. He look ahead at the second guards and similierly he''s unmoving or moving extremely slowly. one stuck looking at him determined and one stuck looking at him fearly. It was like time had stop itself, freezing everything.
"Is this somekind of a trick"
Bang!
Suddenly there came a loud sound, before anyone reacted, part of the ship broke apart. and coincidentally that part happen to be the back area of the large prison melian is in.
The light(sunlight) hurridly rused in from outside, and the air hurridly rush out from inside. Melian felt a pressure trying to push him out, but fortunately he is tightly shackled and bind by the chains that grabbed onto him like a possessed lover, though some had broken apart when the crash happen the remaining of them manage to hold onto him.
However, the guards are not as lucky as him, the two uncontrollably and fastly pulled to the broken passege, while
One guard mange to hold onto a one of the chains that bind melians the second one directly rush out to the outside. Needless to say his life woud be end there, unless some miracle like ''Deus'' be with him.
Bang!
Another louds sound came as a wall in the room ripped apart and flew out of from the ship, while the wall broken it reveld few figure on the far, one is a man in guard uniform while other is a woman in neet and attractive clothes. both are originally focus on the large engine infront of them now frightened by the suddnly broken wall and the sounds.
"Whats going in here" the voice of a man echoed, and the captain and vice caption jump down from high above to the lower floor.
"Arghhh... helppp" echos the voice of the pleading man''s from the hige above floors and than began the nonstop screming and crying of man''s, whne the crash happens not only it effected the lower floor, even upper floor got destrued by it, and as a result some of the prisons that caged unruly people got loose, letting out those mannerless one to Rome out and cause chaos.
Despite that, instead of taking care of the situation on the upper floor the two people in charge of them hurriedly rush to the lower one, the two very well knew even if they take care of the one above, if the one below got loose it''ll be hell all over.
Seeing Melian still restrained by chins the two sign in relief, at the same moment a projectile like blue cube sarounded the lower floor, and the pressure that felt on melian body decreased a lot, though he still slolwy being pulled to outside. It''s really slow.
After stabilising the situation the two, captain and the vice captain, began to pulled melian back toward them, however just when they moment away from grabbing the chains an screm echo through the whole floor, than through the whole ship.
It''s like a cry of a bird, but It neither came from above or below, or somwhere else. for some strange and unknown gut feeling evryone felt like this scremd came from everywhere and at the same time from nowhere.
It was than, somethingunordinary happened.
The air above evryone begen to desorded and blurred, through this blurred space, a bird, large and mgastic, etherial and shining flew out.
Sometime it''s In one place and another time it''s In another place, all the time being everywhere and also nowhere.
Looking at this garouguseu and mastical bird rush out from the space, the captain and vice captains jaw droped. Meliana also peek from the chiand gap, he as a pirate that romed around the world for more than two hundred years didn''t need anyone to tell him what this creature is,
Although he or anyone else never seen this creature from there own eyes, and it exists only through the tales of the books, however once you saw it you can never mistake it for anything else.
"My god, , the almighty in the deus of time, the overseeing twilight owl" in a shaking voice, excliemd the vice captain with his eyes full of awe.
And there it was, emiting a brilliant shin, like ths shine of the sun, if not more. And flapping it ginat wing. in one swing it apperd in one place and in anither it was in another place.
All the onlookers are stuck by its majactsic and dominating auar. But as the moment gone they notice some bruises in the body of the owl, and some deep cut mark slise across it .
"Am I seeing this, or does it look like it hurt" said somone. And other had the same doubt in there mind.
However at the moment, when the ethereal twilight owl flapped it wings, once again the space begen to bluerd, and within next moment it''s fugure slolwy disaperd, like sinking into some invincible water, after it went it was like time after the sun set, everything regain the drakness and everything return to the long lost silence.
Even the countless criminals stayed looking at the place where the owl disaperd, there eyes showing a Depp shock and little by little growing greed.
Becuse, Right before the moment twilight owl disappeared, one of its feathers broke apart, a part of this unbelievably mysterious beings fall from its body, and slowly glide through the air inside the ship.
There was a momentury silance in the ship, as if for evryone to process what actually happening, than when the moment passed, erupted the chose, more than ever before, evryone in the ship, be it the criminals or the officerc or even the captain and vice captain jumped and rush, to catch this mysterious treasure.
criminals screamed, grabbing from one another and pulling one another back as they rushed, among this flood like crowd are also some officers, who are battling aginst shoulder to shoulder with others to be the first one to jump and catch the feather.
Soon after the scremd and cries came, the floor got wetter in deep red, and the air got violated by the rotten stench of human blood.
But despite there effort the one who still manage to react faster than anoone else is none other than the captain and vice captain duo, the lucky two are direcky belowe where the feather are falling, and captain strch his hand eagerly to catch it.
However, soon the act comradship between them turn to worse in a instance.
Chis!
Pieced a long shrp object through the chest of the captain, blood drooled out from his mouth and with a kick from the one Behind him, the vice captain, he fell head first on to the floor.
" I say forgive me, but an apology ain''t gone do nothing right, in the end we all work for our own good"
The vice captain glance at the twitching and turning body of the captain, his face had a sorrow, but than he looked up, seeing the glowing feather slowly falling tiward him, his face regain it happiness.
But soon he became panicked, the crimlans arrived too soon than he expected, some directly jumped from abive while some crash through the door. All of there eyes directed at the golden father as they jumped forward.
"No.. Get away.. It''s mine" panicked vice captain jumped up, straching his hand to grab the falling feather.
Swish!
Hovever, through the air something came rappdily and struck the vice captain, sending him away more than dosensteps back.
The vice caption become momentary shocked, and the pain, smiler to being whipped by a whip spred through his body.
"You" mutterd he, looking at the chained figure hanging in the air. Originally Meliana was hanging a feet above from the floor, but now with the pressure from before pulling his bidy up he happen to be more close to the roof than the floor,
Smiler to everyone else he also saw the golden feather, and upon seeing it he too is filled with the greed. He as the big bad pirate and a rakless man struggle while turning left and right and finnaly managing to brake one loose chain and swing it across tha air by turning his body, preventing the vice captain from grabbing the feather.
Nonetheless, whether the vice captain failed, or Meliana succeeded, non was mattered to the falling fether as it continues to fall.
Melians struggles up in the air intensified, and more and more chains begen to loosen up, the vice captain got up while suffering in pain. he first look at the falling feather, secondly he looked up at Meliana and also at the prisoners and the guards rushing in.
The flood of peoples hurdky rush in, but the moment whne they step into the room, a illusion like cube reapperd, sarouding the room, the fist in line prisoners to rush inbumped headfirst into the cube, some got hurt while some even fainted by the result of there own efforts.
"At least general security protocol working properly" mummuerd vice captain, the cube is a protection device of the ship, it is was the only one with the power of a deus in the ship, unfortunately no one can control it, it only activate on its own. After observing all that he step forward, rushing back tiward the golden feather, which is now Getting cloer to the floor.
Seeing him, Melian shakes even more and finnaly the chains around him begen to loose from ther joint places, but a one chain pierce at the top of the floor roof didn''t loose, and as a result, Melian fall but while swinging.
Seeing that, the vice captain sighed in satisfaction, the feather is alredy closer to the floor and melian who is swinging in the mid air is far from reaching it.
Vice captain hurdky his foot, and strached his hand to grab the feather .
Up in the mid air, on the half of way of his swing Melian gaze at the scene below, his face is expressionless and the slight thred of mana that he grab onto by his pure will power twitched and pulled.
the mana thread strached far away, out from his body, invincible to anyones eye it spred out from the room and gone to the area where the engined of the ship are at and ended up joining a woman with mature charm.
The woman suddnly twitched, like a puppet that being controlled by threads she moved, abandoning her original intentions, she pulled a nearby lever and shut down an engine.
"Isn''t that somthing important" ask the petrolin officer standing closer to her.
In that instance, inside the room protected by the projection like cube. vicecaptain stratching his hand to grab the feather at tip of fingernails, but suddnly the falling father stoped falling and began to flote up on the way it came down. Even everything else in the air slolwy bagan to flote up, starting from objects that lighter and not much hevvyier they beg to flote up.
The vice captain panicked, "what happening to space, oh no..gravity"
At the moment he realises it, he was too late, Meliana swing across the room, and the feather slowly flote up, the two met directly in the path, Meliana who is still shackled by the chains opend his mouth which is the onmy things isn''t binded by the chains abd swallowed the whole feather.
The mouth that others forcefully feed to live finnaly got the meal it needed to live.
He felt something heavy, sliding down through his throat, and as it goes down it wight begen to grow more and more and a heat begen to came from his belly.
But at that point, melian didn''t try to resist the heat or the hevyness in his body, he achieved what he wanted, he grabbed the feather of the overseeing owl, or more correctly he swallowed it. At the end the feather is with him.
He look at the all the below, criminals, officers, vice captain. There faces are dumbfounded and some are even fright, and vice captain has a deep hating face.
Melian felt an escatsy, it''s almost like the times whne he''s a pirate, snatching other values and the watching them suffer.
before anything more happen, in the next moment, came a huge heat from Meliana body, and with a huge sound, his whole body exploded to pieces.
The golden feather reapperd in the world from his shatterd body, but soon it began to bluerd, like it was cought in a flawing invincible current of water. Upon the surface of the feather some mysterious mark apperd before it completely disappeared.
- - - -
Long time ago in history, Times where the humans romed on earth to conquer new land. Under the dark night of the sky, lights in kingdom of Enland shined like stars.
Somwhere in this kingdom, where the light did not manage to fend off the drakness that much, stood a old and weather beaten building structure.
From the round windows of the buidking a dim light of lamps can be seen from outside. But in a one silent room, windows drown in dark and lights of lamps cannot be seen.
Laying in a bed of this darkness spred room a young man suddnky opend his eyes, like awoken from deep slumber. He rolled his eyes, looking around.
"This feels... Nostalgic" He mutterd, looking at the roof of the room, "did I go back in time" the young man who for some unknown reason happen to melian oh his younger days ponders in his heart. but it wasn''t very cleat to his mind about what happened. but one thing he sure is that he is stiil alive and safe.
"power of the almighty deus is something.... Unbelievable" he mutterd in a voice that had a deep yearning hide within.
At the moment, from a neeby window, alluring rays of the moon fall onto his bed. in the shape of the window it just pass through, it landed right cloer to melian head, a bit away from his eyes.
In this dark room the moonlight apperd like somethingdivine, or something pure and holy, if melian moved a little bit he very well coud bath on this radiance, brightining himself.
Looking at the moon rays, melian got some rediclues through in his mind, as if like this moon rays, apperd pure and beautiful, inviting him to bath in the glory of the light, to turn a new page in this new life by reaching out from the deep darkness he wasin.
A moment later Meliana silelty tuned around, to drown in the drakness he very well know and used to. It gave him a comfort, and a unrestrained freedom.
Not like the glow of the moon, which is something caged by it''s own light.
