Eden’s Bio-Anomaly part 3

This takes place after Crestfallen and after the other two parts.

## Eden's Bio-Anomaly Chapter / Part 3

Prism and Merus sat in the Kingdom of Woa, Edra’s kingdom, meditating and talking with each other. They had been doing this for about an hour while everyone was asleep. Merus caught on easily to the meditation as Prism guided him.

As the two were talking Himmsworth had awoken from his sleep. His head glanced at Prism and Merus in the distance. “Glad to see you two having fun” he said as he stretched and sat up.

“Seems like you've gotten him into your own ways huh Prism?” Himmsworth continued making his way to Merus and Prism before sitting down.

“Its one of the best methods I know of.” Prism said, looking back to Merus who was meditating.

“Aye, Even the mightiest of warriors must sit down and take in the world. Falklore was one of the few who tried it the most.” Himmsworth said as Merus opened his eyes with a smile

”I think it’s really helping me find myself!” Merus exclaimed with a smile.

“That's good to hear. It's not easy though. It takes years of practice and with a world this big there's a lot to unpack.” Himmsworth said licking himself.

”then I’ll keep it up so I can be a master at it!” Merus said with a determined look.

“It’s not always about becoming a master at something, but just improving yourself to a point where it's effective for you. Mastery of a skill should only be mastered if said skill is something you need. Not something you want.” said Prism. Merus's mind blanked as it filled with Prism's words however, he understood.

”huh…alright then I’ll keep training until it’s effective!” Merus said. He closed his eyes, returning to his meditation as just then his Mother, Edra, had awoken from her sleep.

Edra wiped the drool from her mouth as she got up and walked over. “Ok what’s going on now?” She asked

“Prism has gotten the boy into meditation” Himmsworth answered as Edra looked down at Merus.

“Oh really?” She said, examining him.

“So far he's not bad.” Prism said as Merus breathed in calmly as he thought about life, existence and how he viewed himself.

“hmmm, I don't know. Do conduits even meditate?” Edra asked

“Some do.” Prism answered

“It is a difficult process however for someone of his age. He would be capable” Himmsworth said as they all watched Merus meditate for around 20 minutes as he suddenly sprang up.

“Alright! I’m ready to start whatever it is we’re going to do!” Merus said excitedly as Edra chuckled with a smile, putting a hand on her hip.

“How can you say that when you don't know what we're going to do?” Edra asked as Merus turned and smiled.

”because eventually we’re going to do something!” Merus said

“Oh you're just adorable aren't you.” Edra said as she kissed his head.

“Aww”

“Gross”

Merus stood still, unable to understand how to process the affection that was given to him, after all it was the first time his mother had ever done something of the sort.

“You okay boy?” Edra asked as Merus nodded.

“....Lets forget about it, anyway how about we call it done for a bit. I think you've done enough for a now.” Edra continued as she stretched her arms and sat down on her throne “take a rest or run around. Prism and Himmsworth will play with you.”

“We will?”

“We will?” Himmsworth and Prism said at the same time.

“You will.” Edra demanded as Merus turned to them with a smile.

”really? Yay! What shall we play! Maybe hide n seek? Or what about Tag!” Merus exclaimed excitedly.

“We can play tag sure.” Prism said as Himmsworth shook his head.

“That ain’t fair! I can’t run fast!” Himmsworth said as Prism looked at him.

“Then you better start running feline” Prism said

”hehe, don’t worry Himmsworth I’ll go as fast as you can run!” Merus said as he slowly approached Prism. ”buuuut, TAG!” He said as he tagged Prism

“Oh I guess I'm it. better get moving” Prism said as Himmsworth and Merus scrambled about to go hide. “Alright I’m counting…1…2…3-“

“Thank goodness for the vastness of this kingdom otherwise we'd be cooked for sure.” Himmsworth said, running beside Merus.

”hehe I think I got a good place to hide” Merus said as he ran to the throne and hid behind it, giggling to himself as Himmsworth jumped into a nearby trash can.

Merus peeked out behind the throne only to be met with Prism standing right infront of him. “Uuuhhhhmmmmm…..” Merus ran away quickly to the study room where he hid under a table only for Prism to be there too.

“Hello.” Prism said as Merus scrambled about, getting out from the table and running to the very same trash can Himmsworth was in, hiding behind it.

Himmsworth peeked out over it “Hey find your own spot!” He said as Merus looked at him.

”oh I didn’t know you were here” Merus said as he then ran to his mother

“Mutha, Prism is coming and I need a place to hide. Do you know where I can?” He asked

“Hm? Sure why don't you hide in my hair for all I care” Edra said clearly distracted by...something, she leaned back in her seat.

”Okay!” Merus said as he dove right into his mothers hair

“(I actually wasn't expecting him to do that)” Edra thought as Himmsworth ran over and sat down in front of her, staring at Edra. The two exchanged a stare and after a few moments Edra groaned.

“Go ahead” she said

“Much appreciated.” Himmsworth said as he jumped into Edra’s hair.

“I swear its like I'm watching toddlers.” Edra rolled her eyes as Merus giggled

”hey what happened to ‘find your own spot!?’” he whispered

“Well lets just say, i saw the outcome of that mistake.” Himmsworth said as Edra groaned.

“You both are terrible hiders, you talk too much.” She said as Himmsworth poked his head out from Edra’s hair

“And you make for terrible cover” he said before going back in.

”he would never think that were here!” Merus quietly laughed

“Yes indeed” Himmsworth agreed. As the two waited in Edra’s hair, Prism appeared infront of Edra.

“Have you seen them anywhere?” Prism asked as Edra shook her head.

“Have you tried checking outside?” She suggested as Prism thought about it as he then flew outside.

Merus popped his head out from Edra’s hair “Thanks Mutha!” He said as he went back in

“Don’t mention it.” She said as time passed, Himmsworth and Merus sat in Edra’s hair as hours flew by. Prism teleported to the throne room.

“Alright you little weasels, I give up. Where are you?” Prism said as Himmsworth and Merus both popped their head out of Edra’s hair.

“Right here!” Merus laughed, getting himself and Himmsworth down from Edra’s hair.

“WHAT?” Prism exclaimed as Himmsworth chuckled.

“What a fool you look like hehehe.” He said

”hehe, Mutha let me hide in her hair and Himmsworth joined me in there!” Merus laughed as he sat on the ground.

“You don’t say.” Prism said, looking directly at Edra.

“Don't look at me, I wouldn't have stopped you from searching” Edra said, prism rolling his eyes at the comment.

”hehe I was a little concerned when you asked Mutha but then she led you away!” Merus smiled

“sneaky little cheater” Prism replied, crossing his arms.

“I don't cheat nor play children's games.” Edra said as Himmsworth sat.

“But you were a child once upon a time. Serving one of the strongest Conduits at the time.” Himmsworth said as Edra looked at him, slightly furious.

“QUIET CAT! I've had enough of your talking.” She demanded although curiosity had already gotten to Merus.

“WOAH!! Really?!” Merus asked, Himmsworth nodding

“Really really.”

“That’s so cool!”

“I've heard of this too” Prism said, only for Edra to groan.

“Not a time I like to remember” she said, merus tilted his head confused

“Why not?” He asked

“Ehhhh.”

“It was, still is one of the most hostile takeovers we've had here on Eden in a very very long time” Himmsworth said, licking himself.

“Heard the daughters of the Cosmos were mighty in power” prism said as Edra slowly nodded.

“Yes…yes they were.” Edra said

“Who?” Merus asked, still confused.

“The Conduit of the Cosmos, oh you probably don't even know about them.” Himmsworth said, Merus shaking his head. “They were a really powerful Conduit once, she ruled over the entire wicked throne with a Iron fist along with her family.” Himmsworth stated

"Once? Did something happen to them?" Merus asked. Himmsworth looked over to Edra.

“She did.” He said, Edra lowering her eyes.

Merus turned to his mother, concerned. “What’s Himmsworth talking about Mutha?” Merus said only for Edra to stay quiet.

“Mutha?” He continued only for more silence. He didn’t wish to prod his mother but he still wished to know.

“She took over the Wicked Throne and killed them, all of them.” Prism said. Merus looked concerned, turning to Prism.

“But why?” He asked once more

“Don’t be too surprised, you're not exactly on the best side of history.” Prism said as Edra looked at Prism with a ferocious glare.

“Prism.” Edra said

“He might as well know.” Prism replied

“Prism.” Himmsworth replied

“She did it for power, for control and for dominance” Prism said as Merus looked slightly disappointed

"Oh..." Merus said as he looked to his mother. "Am I in trouble for asking?" Merus asked, a worried expression

“We’ll see how I feel.” Edra said, standing up. Merus quickly quieted down as Edra looked at Prism.

“As for you, The hell do you think you are? You may be having fun with the boy, but that dosent meant you can and are allowed to teach him anything you want. One more step out of line and I'll turn you into a real rainbow hollow one.” Edra said, clearly meaning it.

“Careful Prism, she's serious” Himmsworth said as Prism groaned.

“I know.” He said as Merus mouthed ‘sorry prism’ to Prism.

"Tch, Now I'm all pissed off. Everyone get lost, Don't return unless I call for you." Edra said as she waved them away. Prism looked back before flying out of the room with Himmsworth and Merus running after him.

“Serves me right for actually having fun in this rotten world.” Prism said as Merus and Himmsworth followed him out.

“Don't worry lads, Gods are little...messy with they're attitudes. Try to be a little understanding there Merus. No one is proud of how they got where they are.” Himmsworth said as Merus looked a little down.

“I know…I was just curious.” Merus said

“As ironic as it is, Curiosity killed the cat, little one.” Himmsworth said as Prism turned to Merus.

“Sorry you got stuck with her as your mother.” Prism said

"Yea, but Mutha isn't all bad, she lets me have fun and makes stuff for me!" Merus replied

“Just because someone is nice to you, doesn't make them objectively-“

“Hey Prism, how's about we let the boy be a child. Nothing wrong with him thinking the way he does.” Himmsworth said, interrupting Prism. Merus grew slightly bored just waiting around.

"what do we do now? theres gotta be something we can do or play" Merus said as suddenly a being appeared.

“Well first you can start by telling me who or what in the hell you are.” The person said. Everyone looked up to see Reulla the witch who was floating above a building sitting criss-cross.

“REULLA THE WITCH!” Himmsworth shouted as Prism rolled his eyes.

“Very observative Himmsworth” Prism said as Reulla tilted her head with a smile, looking at Merus.

“Who’s that?” Merus said as Reulla jumped down from the building, landing right in front of the three. Himmsworth and Merus took a step back.

“Nothing but trouble.” Himmsworth responded as Reulla gave a slight smile.

“Now thatz no way to treat a lady, boop!” Reulla then froze Prism in a block of ice, shocking Merus. “There we go, now I ain't has to worry about no hollow rainbow freak messing up my day.” She said as Himmsworth looked in slight worry.

“PRISM! Now you listen here you!” Himmsworth said only for Reulla to glare at him intensely.

“Quiet Cat before I turn you into a dog.” She said as Himmsworth then shut up

“Prism?! Let him free!” Merus exclaimed as Reulla laughed at the boy, his face showing slight fear yet he tried to stay strong.

“And what are you gonna do if I don't boy? Cry me to death? Mweheheheheh!” The witch laughed

“Goodness, how annoying.” Himmsworth said to himself

“HAAHAHAHAHHA-“ Reulla then dodged out of the way of an attack. She looked behind the two to see Edra there.

“Well look what the ego dragged in!” Reulla grinned as Edra looked less than pleased.

“I'm starting to get really sick of you fucks poping up wherever you want, IN MY KINGDOM!” Edra shouted as Merus ran to his mother with worry.

“Mutha! That witch froze Prism! Why do all these bad people keep coming!” He said as he clinged to his mothers white gown.

“Mutha? OH NO! NO WAY! Edra has a child?!

MWAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!” Reulla said in shock. As she laughed, Reulla suddenly got blasted out of the sky by Edra and was sent flying “BIIIIIITTTTTTtttttchhhhh!” She said as she went flying. Prism suddenly broke free from the ice Reulla trapped him in, looking around slightly confused.

“It has to be the boy, his power output is getting greater and greater and is attracting unwanted attention. He needs to learn to control it otherwise he'll be a beacon of trouble.” Himmsworth said as everyone looked at him.

“It'll be a matter of time before conduits hone in on it.” He continued as Edra put her hand on her chin.

“That would explain things.” She said as she looked down to Merus

“Is this my fault?” He asked in worry as he had no idea what was going on.

“No, no I don’t believe you are.” Edra said, which didn’t make him any less worried.

“Well how come these bad people keep coming here?!” Merus questioned, As Himmsworth licked his paw.

“You could say they're interested in who you are or better to say what you are.” Himmsworth answered as Prism nodded his head in agreement.

”then they need to mind their business!” Merus stomped as Prism looked at Merus with his arms crossed.

“I don’t think you're in the position for making one-liners, kid.” Prism said. Edra patted Merus on the head

“Yes, go indoors.” She said as Merus nodded and watched from inside.

“Got a plan for when she comes back?” Prism asked.

“Actually yes.”

“Actually yes.” Edra said, looking at Himmsworth annoyed.

“Sorry, force of habit.” Himmsworth said, Merus snickered inside at Himmsworth. Reulla then flew back in on her broomstick as everyone looked to her.

“Get the hell out of kingdom Reulla before I turn you into a toad.” Edra demanded as Reulla laughed before getting slightly serious.

“Hmmmmm, how about no. You know a lot of people would pay a heavy price to learn you can actually make a Bio-Conduit.” Reulla said with a grin only for Edra to glare at her with a furious expression.

“You’re gonna wish you never said that.” Himmsworth replied. Reulla raised an eyebrow as she crossed her arms.

“Oh really?” Reulla said as Edra looked pissed.

“Yea really” Edra then turned Reulla's broomstick into infinite weights that were strapped to her feet and pulled her down through a building below.

“WHY YOU POMPUS-“

“No one and I mean NO ONE dupes me. I'm the mother motherfucking goddess of the cosmos and you will show me respect.” Edra said as Reulla remained quiet. Anger slowly rose within Edra.

“NOW!!” Edra yelled as Reulla flinched, bowing her head slowly at Edra.

“Nice move.” Prism said as Merus looked at his mother in awe. He admired his mother for her strength and authority.

Himmsworth then jumped on Reulla's head “Now then, Let me take a wild guess-“

“But you already know-“

“Let me have my moment. I'm gonna guess your from Geri, he sent you out towards these parts didn't he? Don't bother lying, I already know.” Himmsworth said, Reulla looked down in defeat.

“…it’s true.” Reulla said with a sigh. Merus tilted his head to the name of Geri, being unfamiliar with it.

Merus looked to Himmsworth. “Hey Himmsworth could you come here for a second?” He thought as he notice Himmsworth’s ear twitch.

He looked towards Meru and then jumped off of Reulla's head “You guys can take it from here. I'll be back.” Himmsworth ran over to Meru while Prism and Edra continued to talk Reulla.

“How are you lad? You called me?” Himmsworth asked

”I’m fine. I was just wondering…is there going to be more people like that witch?” Merus asked, slight worry in his voice.

“Most likely, that is if we can finally get around to training you.” Himmsworth said as Merus nodded slowly.

“Oh, I don’t want people coming here to attack me or Mutha, do you know when we’ll start?” Merus asked as Himmsworth nodded.

“Yes, soon.” He responded.

“Okay you can head back now.” Merus said as he watched Himmsworth nod and trot away back to Prism, Edra and Reulla.

“So what are you going to do with her?” Prism asked as Himmsworth walked up, sitting beside them.

“First I'm gonna torture her for trying to attack my son and guest, next I'll put her through some weird punishment and then let her go, but not before making her stink for the next 30 Eons.” Edra said as Reulla looked up in fear and worry.

“WOAH HEY! I'm SORRY OK! HAVE MERCY!” Reulla shouted. Merus watched from afar as they were thinking of a punishment for Reulla.

“So which is it? Horrible stink? Oooor weird punishment?” Edra asked, Reulla looked at her confused.

“Why are you making me pick?” Reulla asked.

“PICK OR I'LL DO A COMBINATION OF THE TWO!” Edra shouted as Reulla became frightened.

“OK OK OK OK! Horrible smell please” Reulla asked.

“NO WEIRD PUNISHMENT!” Edra then fired a beam at Reulla causing her body parts to be unorganized, her hands were where her ears were, her eyes were in her breast and her vagina had replaced her mouth.

“Oh my, You almost look presentable. Next I'll let you sit in an alternate dimension for all of time and space until you no longer understand the meaning of time.”

“...then I'll keep doing other weird stuff until I get bored.” Edra said as Prism narrowed his eyes at her.

“Sounds overly excessive.” Prism said as Edra flicked her hair.

“Nothing is too much for me.” Edra said as Merus began to meditate while everything else was going on. He imagined himself in a grassy field.

“Are you two done yet?” Himmsworth asked as Prism looked at Edra.

“That depends on Mrs.Weird here” prism said as Edra rolled her eyes.

“Dont push it hollow rainbow. Now its time to start doing some actual lesson, Merus get up we're going to do some actual training.” Edra then looked back and snapped Reulla away as Merus overheard and opened his eyes instantly.

“You sure you want to? I don't feel like his meditation is done yet.” Prism said as Himmsworth stretched.

“I’m sure the boy will be fine.” He said as Merus poked his head up.

“really?! Okay! And don’t worry prism I can always do that in between!” Merus excitedly said as he ran to his mother, Himmsworth and Prism.

“Now be careful.” Himmsworth said

“Alright lets try to blow something up, ready?” Edra said as Merus had a wide smile on his face.

“I’m ready!” He said as Edra snapped her fingers.

Everyone was now on the outskirts of the kingdom, where even though she had no subjects there was a training courtyard.

“Alright Merus, today we are gonna try to blow something up!” Edra said as Merus bounced around excitedly.

“Oh I can't watch, what if he gets hurt!” Himmsworth covered his eyes with his paws.

“Your all- oh forget it.” Prism said

”sounds fun!” Merus looked down to Himmsworth and pet him. “and don’t worry Himmsworth, I’ll try to be careful for your sake” he stood

“So how can I do that?” He asked

“Ok then” Edra then created a human dummy “Now then, I know that rainbow has been helping you meditate and now its time to put it to the test. Focus your power into your core, then to your hands then shoot it out of your finger tips. Like how mommy does.” Edra fired a simple blast and blew off the dummy's  head “see anyone can do it.”

“Except for me” Himmsworth chimed in.

“No one was asking you, furball.” Edra said.

”my core? I’ll try!” Merus focused as hard as he could, focusing as if he were meditating in place, he pointed his finger at the dummy and…

Nothing

...Edra looked less than amused. “Yes, but it's ok progress takes time.”

“She thinks you're going too slow.” Himmsworth said as Edra looked at him furious.

“CAT! I WILL SKIN YOU SO HELP ME!” Edra shouted as Himmsworth instantly backed off. Prism crossed his arms.

“Don't listen to that stupid cat Merus-“

“Hey this stupid cat knows all your dirty and disgusting secrets.” Himmsworth retorted as Edra looked at him.

“I SWEAR! You and me are gonna have a loooong talk.” she turned back to Merus and put her hands on his face. “Listen, you can do it. Perfect Practice makes perfect! All you need to do is believe in yourself.”

Merus nodded, jumping in place as a warm up. He tried again and again, struggling to make a blast. He grew slightly disappointed in himself but he didn’t get up, he believed he could do it. He closed his eyes and breathed in, pointing his finger at the dummy again. He poured more of his power, more focus, into this attack. A small light glowed from his fingertip ad he then fired a small blast, about the size of an ant, towards the dummy

“I did it! Although it was kinda small.” Merus said

“YOU DID IT!!! I knew you could” Himmsworth said.

“Nice job, soon you might be able to beat Himmsworth.” Prism said

“Ye- uh HEY!”

“Dont mind those two idiots.” Edra said

“Smarter than you by the way”

“Whatever, fantastic job. Soon  when your big and strong YOU'LL BE ABLE TO DESTROY ALL OF MY ENIMIES AND EVERY LAST ONE THAT DARES MESS WITH ME WILL FEEL MY WRATH!” Edra shouted as everyone looked to her quietly.

“Uhhh I mean, good job sweetie. Hows about something sweet for your hardwork?” Edra said, prism looking skeptical.

“Sure!” Merus said excitedly. “I’ll also do some more training!”

“So what are you feeling? Something sweet? Sour? Tangy? Chewy? I can quite literally do everything.” Edra said

“Except shut up apparently.” Prism then was turned into a frog

“Ribbit”

“AHAHAHAHHAHAH! I don't care that I knew it was gonna happen AHAHAHAH Its still funny even the second time. AHAHAHAHAHHA!!!” Himmsworth laughed as Frog!Prism looked at him with distaste.

Merus looked to Prism who snickered slightly. “How about something sweet! And maybe turn prism back?” He said only for Edra to shake her head.

“Uhhh no, that hollow rainbow is such an annoying piece though.” Edra said as she created ice cream for Merus

“Heheh I like him like this” Himmsworth began to play with Frog!Prism, poking and throwing him around like a cat toy all while the frog gave out a loud squeal...which to everyone else sounded like a mouse.

Merus grabbed the ice cream as he looked at Frog!Prism. “Sorry Prism, I tried.” He said as frog!Prism croaked.

“Alright you keep practicing and I have some stuff to do. Himmsworth watch the boy while I'm go- wheres Prism?” Edra asked as she and Merus looked around.

Himmsworth was sitting down with his cheeks full as something looked to be wiggling in them. “Ain't the foggiest idea ma'am.”

“Spit it out, you don't know where it's been.” Edra said as Himmsworth suddenly spit out Frog!Prism.

”hehe, ewww Himmsworth why did you put Prism in your mouth?!” Merus asked with a smile.

LI'm cat, its in my nature. Besides, its less than what he deserves.” he then watched Frog!Prism trying to hop away until Himmsworth pounced in him and started squishing him “Heheheh”

“...I can't watch this, Goodbye Merus and others.” Edra said as she walked away back to the castle.

”bye Mutha! And Himmsworth drop him!” Merus said as he knelt down to pick up Frog!Prism.

“Come on kiddo, I need something to do while I watch you.” Himmsworth said as frog!Prism hopped into Merus's hand for safety, it then used it's tounge to try and hit Himmsworth who dogged it.

“HA! Nice try. I know everything, remember froggy?” Himmsworth teased as Frog!Prism hopped to Merus’s head.

”Hey Himmsworth, may I ask what my bio-conduit is?” Merus asked as Himmsworth stopped eyeing Prism.

“huh oh its the ability to transcend and be superior to others, the name of it though. You'd have to come up with.” Himmsworth said, prism ribbited and croaked in response.

“Yes frog, all conduits come up with their names.” Himmsworth said.

”really? Why not look at all the possible outcomes of the name?” Merus asked.

“And rob you of a chance to make your history? Not a chance. Go ahead kiddo. I'm sure you can think of a name” Himmsworth said as Merus thought.

”I can’t argue with that.” Merus thought about a name. Name after name. he felt a calling to a specific word, pre-eminence. He felt it was the best thing to be.

“Pre-eminence” Merus said as Himmsworth smiled.

“Thats a good name, good job kid. Now why don't you make yourself worthy of it and keep practicing!” Himmsworth said as Merus got pumped up.

”alright! I can do this!” Merus continued to practice for what felt like hours, blast after blast it slowly got bigger and stronger. He didn’t stop only taking a break when he felt he made huge progress
