“ H… How?”

“ How do I know about her? Well it’s simp-”

“ No, that doesn’t matter! Tell me! How can you save her?! If you really can, I will do it! I will do whatever it takes…. Just…. Just please… save her.”

Vince could see clear desperation in Remus’ eyes. He could tell how much Remus cared about her.

“ That’s why I told you to listen to me properly. First, you need to understand everything and take a decision. Don’t lose your cool.”

Remus calmed down a little after listing to his words and said,

“ Ok. Sorry about that. So? Are you going to tell me what you need from me? Frankly speaking, I don’t think I have what it takes to save your world.

Why is somebody like you, who can create a world like this, asking for my help? Let me tell you, I don’t have any special abilities or something.”

“ Haha you don’t need to worry about that. Just listen to my story first. The world where I live is called Lamkas….

For the next few hours, Vince, with an energetic tone, told him about Lamkas.

“ It’s a beautiful world…. Lamkas. What I and brother made, it’s still there…. But not for long, without us brothers doing our job, the world will die….”

At some point, Vince had started speaking in a reminiscent tone. He had a difficult to describe expression on his face.

Remus was listening with care. He was understanding and remembering everything that Vince said.

“ Ok. So far, you have told me about how your world was formed, how you and your brother came to be, what you did after that and how you ended up fighting with your brother in the end.” (basically the prologue. But a bit more detailed)

“ Yes I have. So, do you have any questions?”

“ Well I do. This was on a scale larger than I expected. I am having a hard time believing anything you said. I really can’t believe that the person sitting in front of me is a god.

I don’t even know where to start. The talk about creation and modification and deletion and evolution and whatnot is way above for me to try and understand.

So, I will just ask questions whose answers I can understand. There are a few but for now, I will just ask two. Why did you fight your brother and what do you mean when you say that the world will die without you guys doing your job?”

“ figured as much. I knew you wouldn’t understand a few, well a lot of things, that’s why I didn’t go into details that much.

Now, to answer your question. You see, me and my brother, we are the world’s will, and in a way, we are the world itself. A world with a soul, that’s Lamkas and the soul divided into two and given specific missions and functions, that us Aur and Argent.

What do you think will happen to a body with a damaged soul? It will start deteriorating and with time…. It will die.”

Remus quietly listen and waited for Vince to continue, but seeing as how Vince didn’t speak anymore, he said,

“ I see. So that’s what you meant when you said it will die. But you didn’t answer my first question.”

Remus looked into his eyes. Vince averted his gaze, he looked hesitant.

“ I presume it’s a hard topic but you should know, for me to take a decision, it’s important that you answer my questions.”

Vince groaned,

“ Do I really have to tell you?”

“ Yes.”

Vince took a deep breath. And,

“ It was my son. Representative of the human race, Demi-god Insan. He is the reason we fought. I don’t know how and why, but he killed brother’s wife and son.

Brother was enraged, I had never seen him so angry before. In his rage, he lost his sense of reason and started a massacre. I can’t even begin to count the number of lives he took that day.

He…. He even killed my wife in his rage, Insan wasn’t spared either. I looked at him, just looked… as he took Anna’s life…Frozen in a spot…

Emotions are strange things aren’t they. I was the one responsible for destruction. I can’t even remember how many species I have exterminated.

All those times, I didn’t even bat an eye as I destroyed countless lives but when I saw Anna, my wife die, something inside me broke…. I don’t know what happened after that.

When I regained my senses, I was fighting brother. We were both gravely injured. The scene around us was a literal hell.

Brother had a miserable look on his face. I think he had regained his senses as well. After a while, we stopped fighting, we had to. We were too exhausted.

I knew that if we continued, he would die, being the destroyer, I am a bit more powerful but then brother spoke and I will never forget this…

‘this was a mistake. We should have never made intelligent life in the first place. I will come back and put and end to this’.

Then he left. I could have stopped and killed him If I wanted to but then, without the creator, the world would eventually die but more than that, I couldn’t come to kill my own brother. He was there with me since the beginning. An irreplaceable existence.

I didn’t know what to do but I had to recover and that too, fast. I decided to split my soul into two and decided to send the most part of it to a world that had a faint connection to Lamkas.

Does that answer your question?”

Remus was left speechless. He finally understood why Vince didn’t want to talk about that matter.

“ I am sorry. I didn’t know….”

“ There is no need for you to apologize. It is, in no way, your fault.”

“ So I guess, the world you sent a part of your soul to, is earth and I am that part?”

“…. Yes. You are. It took a bit more than a thousand years for the divided part to recover and the entity it formed into is you, Remus. Even if I am the most powerful being on Lamkas, the way I am right now, the most I can do is take my brother out with me.

But you are different. I can tell, right now your soul is as powerful as me in my prime. If you just train and hone yourself, I am sure you could stop my brother.

My brother, he couldn’t have recovered by now, there is still time. So please, stop my brother and bring him back to his senses. The true him is really kind and caring…. Please save my world….

And in return, I will save your Ahenna. ”
