《Master of Cards. *Reborn*》Chapter 22 : Theme Park
Advertisement
Kael was out with his family, he was holding Ren and Jenny's hands as they walked together by the theme park. Kael stood before one of the most horrorfying things to ever grace mankind for entertainment. It had multiple wheels. It had multiple carts and it would fill people up with screams. All the 52 lives Kael has lived.. It has not prepared him for the terror that is the roller coaster.
Jenny and Ren gave Kael an expectant expression, hoping that Kael will be joining them on this ride.
"Please?" The way they held the please for an entire 10 seconds was enough for Kael to give in. For his siblings, he will brave even the roller coaster. As he got into the seat, literally feeling every fiber of his body feel a fear. He could ride a dragon, he could ride a serpent but Kael is afraid of roller coasters.
Kael was strapped in by the worker. Then looking to his right it was Lucius, Kael blinked 10 times to make sure he was seeing Lucius.
"Don't ask."
"I wasn't going to." Kael said as they both braced themselves for the rollercoaster. When it set off, the roller coaster bolted forward as Kael felt his stomach rise up. Climbing up the peak slowly, the anticipation was killing Kael and he could see Lucius bracing himself for the drop. When they reached the peak, Kael and Lucius looked at how steep it was going to go and it was definitely horrorfying. The roller coaster stopped at the top, teasing them as it went downwards where Kael and Lucius screamed their lungs out.
"This was a terrible idea!" Lucius and Kael screamed as the roller coaster went down. Then it went into the loops, the two of them continued their screaming. As they watched the movement go to another loop. They took a deep breath, where everyone else was screaming with glee. Kael and Lucius were screaming in despair. The wheels of the roller coaster were like screeches of otherworldly beasts. Thick vapors covered in front of them, as they were swallowed into a tunnel. The tunnel was not the scary part, the spiraling track that was at the end of the tunnel was what made it worse.
When the ride ended, Kael and Lucius stood on solid ground for 10 minutes. Perhaps to enjoy not having their heads or stomachs be upset with the intensity of the roller coaster.
"This is the idea of human enjoyment? Is it the thrill?" Lucius asked Kael who nodded.
"I only did it because of my siblings, why are you doing it?"
"I was dared by Lorbis. I dared Lorbis to ride the carousell." Kael and Lucius turned to Lorbis who was smiling like a madman by the carousell.
"Then there's.... Well. Them." Kael recognized some other Gods that were riding the spinning cups. They had fun but afterwards they were so dizzy they fell down the stairs in unison. Where people came to help them, the Gods merely brushed their injuries off and did not think much of it.
Lorbis walked on over, smiling to them. Ren and Jenny came back with ice cream.

"Oh hi, mister. What's your name?"
"Lu-" Kael elbowed Lucius, who understood what that meant.
"My name is Lee. And what's yours?"
"I'm Ren!" Ren introduced with his messy mouth. Kael knelt to wipe his little brother's messy face.
"I'm Jenny! Are you a friend of Kael's?" Lucius nodded to them, then seeing Ren offer a spoonful of his ice cream to Lucius.
"Ren, don't offer people you don't know ice cream!" Jenny was cautious but of course she would be, Kael was literally standing beside strangers.
"You seem nice, so I wanted to give you ice cream." Lucius took the spoon and then looked at Kael. Kael just shrugged his shoulders.
"Ren, Jenny! Let's go for bumper cars!" Lloyd invited them as Ren and Jenny made their way back to the parents.
Lorbis and Kael looked at Lucius who must have felt that to be a bizarre experience.
"I totally understand why you will destroy everything for your younger brother. Oh me, your brother and sister are so adorable. I finally understand why Aerith calls you sort of a helicopter sibling." Lucius said to Kael who laughed as the three of them went to the bumper cars. It was a big place, Lloyd was riding with Ren, Miriam with Jenny. Kael, Lucius and Lorbis went at it alone. Where they all bumped into each other, where Lorbis laughed at watching Lucius struggle to even steer.
"Wrong way, Lee!" Lorbis joked as Lloyd and Ren crashed into Lucius. Kael merely smirked only to see him bumping into Aerith who pouted. Then she went after Lucius a few times.
"Ah, leave me alone Ari!" Lucius said where Aerith kept smirking, despite her blue hair and gentle smile. She was having the most fun here. Even Lorbis was beaten by Aerith's skill with the bumper cars. Kael found it hilarious to see Lucius struggle with bumper cars and as the SUpreme God and God of Destruction, would be in an interesting things he has seen.
"Kael? Are they your friends? Why don't they join us for laser tag?" Lloyd invited them where Kael could see Lucius and the others joining it as fast as they could. Things will be chaotic not for Kael but for the Gods. A few other Gods also joined the game. The darkness, strobing lights and just playing laser tag was fun for them.
The Gods were smirking thinking they had the advantage. Unaware that Lloyd and Miriam were the reigning continent champion in laser tag. They were about to be schooled by mortals and so they did. Ren and Jenny were working well with Lloyd and Miriam. Kael was laughing as he watched the Gods be so nerve wrecked from the experience. Watching how easy it was for them to be eliminated through the use of cover and angles.
Lorbis was playing a simulated war game yet he, one of the Gods of War was losing to mere mortals. Lucius was laughing at Lorbis only to be shot by Miriam as Kael's family was prowling the entire laser tag arena. This meant that people could see everything and watch the chaos and disaster occur. Aerith was doing better compared ot her brothers. The others played happily, despite being schooled by the mortals.

They left and had fun, even taking a huge photo at the end with Kael's family. When they met Ren it seems that he had won them over as well.
"Want to have some?" Ren offered the drink to Aerith and Kael could see that Ren has won her over with that little gesture. To which the Goddess of Romance leaned to Kael.
"Easy there tiger, your younger brother might break hearts when he grows older. This might be fun to watch and wait." The Goddess of Romance, Mayala said with a smile. Mayala had tan skin and she was the opposite of what people would think. The Goddess of Romance was deemed to be white but in reality Mayala was born from the love of two forbidden figures and she chose to embrace that to the best of her abilities.
"And you say it like it's a bad thing?" Kael spoke to Mayala who laughed at that remark.
"He might be good enough for a God. If you want me to be honest, Kael. Your brother might grow enough to cause Gods to be interested in him. Same goes for your sister but... It may not be bloody. Might be for something else though." Mayala joked to Kael.
"As long as they don't go through the hell I went through. Then it's fine. Same goes for the ones I care about. As long as they don't piss me off." Kael said then looking at Lucius who gave him the nod.
"If anything happens to them, we'll make sure that they get their rest and if they do somehow end up being put to a reincarnation cycle. We'll make it fun for them instead. Not like yours." Lucius whispered.
"That's all I ask, Lucius. They can't handle it. They're not like me." Kael said to them as he watched them from the distance, Lucius then pulled out a document for Kael to read.
"This is a dossier about what happened to your siblings before your reincarnation cycles." Kael had a brief glimpse into it. Human trafficking that focuses on prostitution.
"They are still around and they are doing it to a lot of people." Kael kept the dossier in his heart as he looked at Aerith who said that to him.
"I can't leave this to my swords. I need to handle this myself. Well, at least I got something interesting I can do." Kael said as he moved away from them, walking back to join his family as they all went into a haunted house. Miriam and Lloyd screaming loudly and holding each other while Ren was laughing at them while Jenny was trying to calm herself down. Perhaps it was because Ren was used to seeing Ice Reaper in his skeleton form that brought him that sense of comfort. Of course, what would be able to scare his brother now? No horror would dare to even get close to anything that was within Ice Reaper's reach.
Afterwards, they ended the day with spending time on dessert. Where Kael could see Lucius spending time with Mayala, while the other Gods were seated elsewhere. They were... Poor in their attempt of trying to be discreet. Perhaps they were trying to set Lucius up? In all of Kael's lives he had not heard about Lucius having a family or a lover. Perhaps it has to do with the fact he is the God of Destruction.
Then again, a mortal may marry a God if they fulfill the right conditions. Though such a mortal would take aeons to come to their lives. Kael could see the other Gods being careful, trying to not get caught by Lucius. He received a text.
'I'm getting love advice... From Mayala.' Kael nearly choked on his drink as he read that. He had to wipe his mouth while typing with his left hand.
'Did you find someone?'
'No but it seems that the Gods are insistent that the Supreme One must have a partner. Kael, as my avatar. I must ask. When you married the women in your other lives... What was it like?'Kael was trying to think of an answer. Some ended in a tragedy like Priestess of Water, but it taught him something.
'Love when it is with the right person. Is utter bliss. Yet, when that person goes away. The love does not. Love does not die on its own, it dies when both sides let go. I've had lives where my wives died but the love I had for them... It did not fade. Even now, when I came back here. When I saw the Priestess of Water. I remembered the butterflies in my stomach, I remembered all of that nostalgia and how I lost her... I lost her the same way but at least, I put her out of her misery. Love is beautiful yet it can be ugly. Peaceful yet like a war. It can be healing and can be destruction.' Kael typed as Lucius read it, then taking a deep breath.
When Kael got up, he walked past the table. Briefly hearing some parts of the conversation.
"Look, Lucius. Don't do what those super hot guys do in the romance films okay? Some of it is cringey and some of it is downright stalker like. You do that, and we'll be on a police drama episode or a psychological horror. So if you want to approach a woman you ha--" Kael did not hear the rest of it but he could see Lucius being unimpressed or perhaps. The better word is not much belief in it?
The day ended as they all went home, Kael was driving back to the house since his father was tired. He tucked Ren to bed, and had Ice Reaper by his side while leaving Ren with Yueliang Hua and Xuehua.
"Yes, master?" Ice Reaper asked Kael as they stepped outside.
"Seems like there's some toruble and we'll need to deal with it." Kael said as Ice Reaper turned into its pale blue scythe.
"I am by your side, master."
