Chapter 3 - 3 ♤ What A Cliche ♤

Unnamed region

Unknown time

In a region in space seemingly untouched by time, stars and planets stood unnaturally still as if the universe itself was holding it's breath.Two silhouette seemed to be locked in what could best be described as a stare-down.

One was a beautiful pale-skinned woman . She possessed snow white hair that reached her lower back and eyes with colours that shifted in every hue you could possibly imagine.

She wore a white long-sleeved gown that covered her bare feet and in her hands was a book she was supposed to finish today.

"Did you really have to do all this". She asked exasperatedly gazing at the man who just froze an entire solar system....mid orbit.

"And do you really have to hide behind that I know what you look like". She added rolling her eyes at the being cloaked in darkness that only showed his glowing blue eyes that seemed to hold galaxies.

"First of all, no I didn't have to....Just did it because I can Aurora. He replied without a care in the world. "Tsk show off. The white-haired lady added shaking her head.

Tilting what should have been his head if he didn't look like a dark fog right now he, he asked in a bemused tone. "When have I ever denied that?

Oh and as I was saying before I was rudely Interrupted I'm only hiding my features for the plot. Don't want them knowing too much too soon now do we?"

"Honestly I don't think I even want to know what the hell you're talking about but cut the nonsense.....It's about to start". She said as her eyes glowed strangely.

"What do you see?". He asked.

"I could tell you, but you'll have to help resolve a tiny problem of mine". She said smiling slyly.

"Forget it". He replied dryly.

" Come on, don't be a kill-joy". She Said pouting like a child who just lost her favourite toy.

"Because knowing you, it's going to be something really annoying that I'd rather not get myself involved with". He said in a knowing tone.

"And what if it could potentially save the life of your son?". The being froze for a second then suddenly erupted in an uncontrollable fit of laughter that reverberated across space itself.

"Ha ha ha....Good one...If what you saw is enough to kill my son then I have failed as a father...."

...."And I never fail". He said using his true voice.

"Tsk...Touche....what a family of monsters...and enough before you knock a star out of orbit." Aurora said already irritated at her failed attempt at getting under his skin.

"Hey that was a one time thing. Don't hold it against me". He replied with the innocence of a Saint.

"You threw a whole solar system with billions of lives in it Into chaos". She said to him....this time in her true voice. "Hey calm down...like I said....one time thing". He replied so nonchalantly she almost lost it.

"Oh and the time you tried to play monopoly, with actual planets?".

"Well Cosmonopoly was a huge success in my books....I don't remember screwing up that one". He said, hands crossed like a teenage girl in her rebellious phase.

"Because, I ended up cleaning that Cosmic mess". She said whilst gritting her teeth and shooting him death stares.

"Oh....all's well that ends well....am I right?". He said chuckling nervously whilst avoiding the gaze of the woman that looked ready to kill.

"Haa whatever....Thank goodness your son doesn't cause me trouble like you do. I don't know what I'll do if there's another you".

"Well this generation have failed me....too stuck up for my liking but no promises about the next though". He said as he "smiled" dangerously.

"Wait what do you mean by tha....nevermind, I'm pretty sure knowing would only give me sleepless nights and not like I can see your future or that of anyone in your bloodline because somebody decided to bleep it out"

"Haaaaa....curiosity ruins surprises Aurora. The blue-eyed being said as he sighed dramatically

Well time to go meet Lucifer.... About time we go mess with a few Lizards". He said 'smiling' dangerously.

"Haaa....Fine.... you two better not dare cause any mess that I'll have to clean up....you both are like children....dammit". She replied with a sigh.

"No promises Aur". He said whilst opening a spatial gate and walking into it.

Now finally alone she snapped her fingers, and the imagery of a clock shimmered into existence behind her resumed the time of the solar system a certain someone couldn't be bothered with doing.

"Haaa here I am, still cleaning his messes....well at least I can finally finish my book".

She said, sighing for what felt like the thousandth time as a spatial gate sprung to life behind her and she vanished into it.

And the cosmos returned to silence.

Bright light flooded his senses leaving him disoriented as he wondered where the hell he was. Last thing he remembered was blowing a Hotel and everyone in it including himself to Smithereens and now he was here.

In what looked like a standard office except for the white walls on all four corners. He finally looked straight ahead and saw a man in a three piece suit sitting behind a desk.

"Welcome Malakai Zoltáir.....Please sit....we have much to discuss". He said gesturing towards the chair directly facing his desk.

Malakai,not one to waste time sat down as he quietly observed the strange man. The man looked almost divine. That is there didn't appear to be anything wrong with him physically speaking.

He possessed vivid blonde hair and deep ocean blue eyes. Sharp eye brows that sat perfectly on his forehead as well as thin lips that made his defined cheek bones and jaw line stand out.

He had on a blue suit that matched the colour of his eyes and had a silver watch attached to his wrist. Then he finally asked

"Who are you?...How and why am I here.... I recall dying so how am I alive and here right now". Malakai asked confusedly.

" Well the why can come later and yes you did die....and for the who and how....

.....I am a God".

Malakai just stared at him without blinking, seemingly in a daze, then he sighed heavily.

"Haaa....What a cliche".

** HUH !!!!!!!???
