CHAPTER TEN
Davram and Slim Rowon dried out back in the tavern. They had no coin left for anything.
Simon came over.
"They cleaned me out," Slim Rowon said.
"The offer still stands," Simon said.
"We'll do it. A good dinner and more ale and we leave in the morning. Point us the way."
"Eat and drink on the house. Take a room up the stairs. I'll wake you at dawn."
"I'm coming as well," Marasoldig said, standing at the entrance, dripping from the rain.
"Why should we take you?" Slim Rowon asked.
"I could shove your own cheap sword up your asshole and break it off instead."
"Well. Welcome, then."
"I want a chicken and beer. And a room my own," Marasoldig said and sat at their table.
She tossed Slim Rowon's sword on the floor. He picked it up.
"You're a soldier?" Slim Rowon asked.
"I am a fighter," Marasoldig said.
"Where did you learn to fight?"
"Nowhere."
After that they sat in silence until her chicken and beer came. Slim Rowon was served mutton and Davram drank the ale. Marasoldig stared at Davram as she ate. She wiped chicken grease from her chin.
"Why did you help me?" she asked him.
"It did not seem kind, what he was doing."
"Kind?"
"I must be kind. Somei said to me that I must never forget."
She stared at him for awhile, chewing her food. Then she nodded and drank the entire mug of beer.
"I will follow you until I am dead," she said to him.
Slim Rowon froze with his mouth open.
"Are you my friend, then?" Davram asked.
She seemed to ponder this. Then she shook her head.

"We are no friends. I am to serve. These are the rules."
Davram blinked.
"What are the rules?" he asked.
"There are rules to the world which we must abide by."
Marasoldig stood up and took the pitcher of beer up to her room and shut the door.
"How fortune turns in a single day," Slim Rowon whispered, "Let's be wary of her."
"I trust her," Davram said with a smile.
"You trust too easily, my friend."
"Do I?"
"She's a stranger."
"You were a stranger."
"I am obviously trustworthy and honorable to any eye. It is a different case. Let us retire, Davram. Tomorrow will begin soon, and today has been long."
They found an empty room with two beds and soon were asleep.

The Father of All (Rewritten Version)
The Observer had always remained faithful to its duty, to learn and to remember all that would come to pass so that when its Creator returned, it would recount all that it had learned and remembered. But the Universe has stagnated, History repeats itself over and over and the Observer could learn nothing new. This would not do, how could it face its creator with what was basically repetition, monotonous, boring, repetition. But how would it break this looping cycle? How would it write the History of the Universe itself anew?

The Girl Named Rino
Oh. Hello. I didn't see you come in. No, don't worry. I don't need to hear your name. I already know what it is. I also knew that you'd come up at around this time. But, at the same time, I also didn't know. It's very hard to put into words - but that's what happens when you become the Chaos God. Your psyche gets messed up, big time. That's even more so for me, who was already warped enough to confuse reality with imagination - and, even make the rest of the universe believe that it was so. But, enough about me. Let's talk about you. You seem to come from a very far away land. It's faint, but your presence is there - in a relatively primitive planet. No wonder, no one wanted to stay in, or conquer your region of the universe - there's nothing worth controlling there. Your existence, much like your entire solar system, also seems to be pretty insignificant. Tell me, is your race capable of destroying your own world? Oh, you're already well along the way? Global Warming? Pollution? Overpopulation? Nuclear weapons? Wow... it's been many millenia since I'd last heard of such ancient concepts from someone who is actually living through it. Still, good job getting that far. That means that your world is now, at least, worth considering as a possible place to install a World System. If I find the time, I'll try surveying it. You can just thank me, later. Oh wait! What kind of person am I, not even offering my guest any hospitality. I'm ashamed. Please, take a seat. What would you like? I have everything the multiverse has to offer, whatever it is you want - I can get. Ah! After we talk, would you mind, if I asked you to do me a tiny favor? There's this girl, I want to keep tabs on. She's in one of the Worlds that I preside over, it's called Aiarthe. But, for some reason, I can't see her - not directly, at least. All I need you to do, is check up on her from time to time. Whether you do it as a pure spectator or through someone else's eyes, is entirely up to you. Really!? You would!? Wow! Thanks! You really did me, a huge solid there! For agreeing so quickly, how about I get started on surveying that planet of yours, right now!? You can help yourself, to anything in the fridge! Well, see ya!
