## Eden's Bio-Anomaly Chapter 1 / Part 1

In the far kingdom, the kingdom of woa. Edra the Goddess of the Cosmos had been devising a plan. A plan to make her own branch of conduits, but such a task was difficult. There were many failures. However her hate towards the conduits would not go without a fight and so she continued to try her best to create what was the impossible, to create a Bio-Conduit.

A husk laid in front of Edra, a vessel for her experiments. The body was male, about 10 years old. the body had glowing white hair, similar to a white dwarf star and behind its closed eyelids laid crystal-like eyes. Only one could imagine the process she had gone through to make this experiment work. Was such a feat even possible? Only time would tell.

Edra walked over and picked up the Vessel's corpse, she then destroyed it and spread its metaphysical bits all around her. It was like a cosmic blueprint. “ARGAHH DAMN IT ALL! I need this to work. If only I could just reach out and grab it...damn it.”

The process was tedious as it was, to grasp the concept in itself seemed impossible, putting the concept into a soul then giving it to a vessel in hopes it wouldn’t implode on itself. It frustrated Edra.

Eventually as she continued trying things until finally “THATS IT!” She then got a hold of the abstract concept of Pre-Eminence and then attached it to a small boy like vessel.

“It'll grow with you, letting the concept run through you, become you. Now awaken! First Bio!Conduit!” Edra exclaimed

The boy's eyes shot wide open as he quickly sat up looking around. He then turned to Edra, looking at her as if he were a newborn looking at his mother. “w-wh-“ he stuttered like a child learning their first word

She looked down and tilted her head. “I hadn't thought about the repercussions of this. Luckily I remember my time as a maid for the conduit of the Cosmos so long ago. Child work is easy.” she bent down ruffled his hair “welcome to life little one, you may call me what fits you in the future, but for now a more basic term will suit. Mom, call me mommy. Or in the language of the eden folk Mutha”

“Can you move? Walk?” She asked.

“M-m” the child stuttered again. “M-Mutha!” The child exclaimed with a smile. The child then tried to pick himself off the ground, resting his legs onto the floor. He stood up fully as he tried to walk to his mother, stumbling across the way, his intelligence slowly developing at a fast rate to that of an average child.

“I'm gonna have my work cut out for me.” Edra picked up the small child holding him in one hand as she walked towards her throne

“Listen now small one, I created you, I have made you with the purpose to kill and destroy my enemies. You are a sign of clear progress and that nature can be bent to my will. I want you to grow up strong and powerful. So be happy that you have me! EDRA THE GODDESS OF THE COSMOS! As your mentor and Mutha.”

Edra and the child then arrived to her throne room where a super massive black hole in the middle of the room

“Welcome to my throne room.” Edra said. the child looked at the room in awe and astonishment. He was amazed by it, yet so curious about everything too. His brain rushed through many thoughts.

“Mutha, if you’re a goddess what does that make me?” The child asked curiously

“You're a Bio-Conduit, more or less . You have the power to carry the world on your shoulders. However, all of that responsibility nonsense can wait. For now there is much for you to learn. First with your body. How do you feel?” Edra asked as the boy smiled

”I feel…great and energetic!” The child continued to smile, bouncing in place, as he looked to the throne then back to Edra

“This kingdom is vast and empty, run around. Exert yourself. Come back to me when you're done.” she sat down on her throne and relaxed

“Good Nunn, if someone had told me that making a child was this strenuous I would have prepared more.” She said as the boy nodded and suddenly ran off quickly.

He adventured through the large kingdom, gazing upon the cosmic like structures the building had to offer. He found it amazing, a beautiful sight that he couldn’t resist. After a few hours of exploring he eventually made his way back to the throne room.

Edra was gone, however, there was a dark energy coming from the corner of the large room. The child quickly sensed the energy coming from the corner, his eyes gazing, staring, at the corner.

“Mutha?” The child said in a confused yet concerned tone.

“Well well well, I thought I smelt something” a voice said as large footsteps walked behind him

“It can't be true, a bio-conduit in the flesh. Hehe and O'Brien said it was impossible. This world catches me by surprise every day.” The being said. The boy turned around to be met with a humanoid figure. The figure looked to be a large bird-like skeleton, heavily decayed. Although the boy didn’t know who it was, it was clear. It was the forbidden conduit of corruption.

The child backed up from the forbidden conduit, disgusted and unnerved by the grotesque sight. “W-who are you?!” The child stuttered taking a slight step back seemingly disgusted.

“The better question here little brother, is who or **what** in the nine fucks are you supposed to be? The conduit of stupidity? Remorse or maybe innocence? So many concepts to use. But none I sense in you.” The forbidden conduit of corruption said as he analyzed the small boy.

“brother?” The child thought. “I… I don’t know what I am myself.” He said

“but I do know that I don’t think you’re supposed to be here.” The child continued as unbeknownst to them, Edra walked in with a frustrated expression

“Yo-“ the forbidden conduit tried to speak only to be interrupted by Edra.

“You would be correct.” Corruption scoffed as he then turned around to see Edra

“The hell are you doing in my throne room slime?” Edra said in an irritated tone. She raised an eyebrow awaiting a response although none would please her.

“Unlike regular Conduits, corrupted ones can sense small disturbances in the ripples of the conceptual fields, the abstract to even the platonic kind. I felt one of the concepts of this world get pulled unnaturally. I'm no conduit, but I thought I'd check it out.” Corruption said as he eyed the child who ran to his mother

“Didn't think I'd find a Bio-Conduit of all things.” Corruption finished as he continued to stare at the boy who held himself closely to his mothers white gown.

“You saw, you're surprised. Now get out.” Edra growled, she was seconds from turning Corruption into rotten soup.

“hmp, Gladly, see you around kid. If you seek answers, come and find me in the twisted lands.” Corruption smirked as he then faded away into the ground

“Dirty thing.” Edra said turning around

As the boy saw corruption fade away, he was left with questions. As a curious child naturally he wanted to know. “Mutha, who was that man? And what is a conduit?” He asked.

“If that's what you think a man is, then you have much to learn. Also Conduits...well I suppose I can share with you some knowledge on that. Come along” Edra said as she began to walk towards a hallway, the child following close behind.

“Come child, let's keep going.” Edra said as the boy reached out to Edra’s hand, holding it.

“Where are we going?” The boy asked as Edra continued to look ahead.

“Towards my study room.” She answered.

They eventually arrived at the study, it was large and filled with billions of books all going up and floating in a spiral like shape.

“All these books have been made by myself and myself alone with the addition of one other, but we won’t talk about him. Questions?” Edra asked.

The boy thought for a bit. “What’s a conduit? And what bio-conduit am I?” He asked, wanting to know more of himself

“Oh, look, that's a lot of information that I don't feel you're ready for. You're better off working on your physical body and being the best you.  It's your first day of life, best not to waste it with such big questions.” Edra said much to the child’s disappointment.

He began to think of more questions and thoughts, they roamed his mind as he picked one he figured was important enough. “What's my name?”

“I don’t know, I didn't come up with one. How does Merus sound?” Edra asked as the boy paused for a second before a smile grew on his face.

“I like it!” Merus exclaimed enthusiastically. “Why did you make all these books?” He said looking around.

“I like having things.” Edra said vaguely.

"so, like, if you have a castle and you're the goddess and stuff then why are there no people or subjects like butlers?" Merus asked.

“I hate people, they annoy me. Worshipers, popes, nuns and all that fancy shit. It's all meaningless. Gods who rely on fancy prayers and big tited Nuns make me sick.” Edra replied, rolling her eyes as she spoke.

“Ooh okay! How did you become a goddess?” Merus asked as Edra thought about it before shaking her head.

“Not something I like to look back on.” She said looking to the side in slight discomfort.

“Okay, what do you do as one?” Merus asked.

“I command the stars, study the nature of the cosmic essence and now raise a child.” Edra grabbed a book using her long hair from the top of the spiral and brought it down “How do you feel?”

A wide smile grew on his face. “I feel like I have a pretty cool Mutha!” He said

She was completely taken aback before gaining her composure back

“Thanks.” She said.

“What’s it like outside of the kingdom?” He asked

“It can be…very dangerous…but also very beautiful.” She answered

”Oh that reminds me! When I was coming back from exploring I wanted to give you my opinion on the castle. I thought it was really pretty and awesome! I was really amazed by all the cool space stuff!” he said excitedly

“Glad to hear, it took me 3 seconds to make.” Edra said, stunning Merus.

“WOAH! Really?! That’s so cool! Do you think I could do that one day?” He asked

“Unlikely, but who knows. This world is very surprising. oh speaking of which, someone here to teach you as well. I mentioned that you will be trained, but not in knowledge. I can help you be strong, but your mind requires absolute focus of which you will have a friend of mine. Come on in.” Edra said as just then a black cat walked into the room and jumped onto the desk and sat down, licking itself.

“This is Himmsworth, the smartest being in all of Eden and beyond.” Edra said.

“Aw he’s so cute! Hi Himmsworth!” Merus said excitedly.

“Greetings there small one. In all the foreseeable events to come with Edra and her boundless curiosity. I'm glad you are the outcome.” Himmsworth said as Edra stood from her seat. Merus continued to stare at Himmsworth in awe, he gasped at the compliment too.

“I'll leave you two for now, be gentle with him Himmsworth. He was literally born a few hours ago.” Edra said as she walked out of the room, Merus waved to her.

“Okay bye Mutha!” He said, turning his attention back to Himmsworth. “So, Himmsworth, what are you doing here?”

“I was told new life was brought into the world and I figured I'd help it learn a thing or two. Now, before I start answering away, I do know everything you're going to ask, but Feel free to still ask regardless.” Himmsworth said as Merus looked at him skeptical.

“You know everything? Then what am I thinking of?” Merus asked as within his mind he thought of several numbers and pancakes.

“You’re thinking of the number four, no, now pancakes, and now the number four again.” Himmsworth said.

Merus was shocked as his jaw dropped. “Woah you really can! That’s really cool! So, Mutha tells me that I’m not ready for topics like the conduits or what I am. She says to work on my physical body and being the best me but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any advice?”

“Your existence is entirely new to these lands. Though it wouldn't be the first time something that wasn't meant to exist found a way to. Well unfortunately as you see I'm no warrior. However there are a few out in the world who may yet be able to teach you. The mighty Falklore, the brilliant EchoStar and the battle Goddess Iris. There's a few others, but there are few others.

Your state of being and physical being is...different from what other Conduits are. However I wouldn't go asking them for any advice.” Himmsworth answered

”So how could I possibly be the best I could be and work on my physical body if I can’t leave the kingdom?” Merus asked with a head tilt of curiousity

“There are more ways to get better than just using your body. Your mind helps your body more than you think.” Himmsworth answered once again.

“Any tips or suggestions? If I have to grow up to be big and strong I want to waste no time.” Merus said.

“Hehehe you just got started living. How about taking some time to be a kid and enjoy yourself. I'll see you around” Himmsworth then began to run off as Merus watched.

he watched as Himmsworth ran off. Thoughts flooded his mind, the fact that he was something different, something impossible he felt as if he had to be what he was so soon. "Maybe he's right, I'm rushing this stuff too fast." He thought as he then began to wander around. "But is there anything here that I could do?" his mind continued looking up to the books, then to the door. He made up his mind.

“I’ll do it then!” He thought as he ran out of the study doors. He explored more of the kingdom, wanting to take in the full sight, playing on stuff that shouldn’t be played on and having his voice echo throughout the hallways and corridors that even Edra could hear, although ignored it as she didn’t think he was in trouble

Merus journeyed to many parts of the Kingdom of Woa, yet he hasn’t explored everywhere. He was laughing and giggling as he went about, having fun as a child should as he walked through the Kingdom

Eventually though Edra got tired. “Alright time to call it a day.” she then increased the volume of her voice “Time to come back boy.” She said, her voice echoing to every inch of her kingdom.

Merus heard the sound of his mothers voice “Okay Mutha!” His voice echoed as he ran to his Mother. Entering the throne room once more Merus walked up to his mother who sat back down in her chair.

“Ah good, I have a favor to ask of you.” Edra said. Merus tilted his head.

“What is it?” He asked.

Edra snapped her fingers, although for now it seemed like for nothing. “I've placed 3 blue orbs around the city. You will find them and bring them to me” she said.

“Alright! I can do this!” Merus said, excitedly hopping around in one spot.

“Alright then, go ahead and find them.” Edra said, waving him away.

"Okay!" Merus said enthusiastically as he ran off to find the orbs, and as soon as he left the Throne room the blue orbs manifested in the various parts of the kingdom. He thought, "why not search places ive already been first?" and so he did, he ran into the Study, one of the first places he was introduced to.

Merus searched up and down, left and right yet he couldn’t find the blue orb. He left the study in search of the blue orbs, however, He couldn’t find the orbs for a long time, yet he didn’t let that bring him down. Eventually, one by one, he had found all of the orbs and returned to Edra.

“Mutha! I found them all! It took a really long time though.”

“Good job, here ya go.” Edra then made him a bag of candy “Go ahead, and no cavities”

“Woah really?! Thank you!” Merus said as he dug his hand straight into the bag while sitting down, taking out candy to eat.

“How is it?” She asked as Merus looked up to her with a smile.

“They’re really good!” He responded, shoving more candy into his mouth.

“Good, now wanna learn a few cool things?” Edra asked, catching Merus’s curiosity.

“Sure, what kind of new things?” He asked, shoving more candy into his mouth.

“How about we do a lesson on the Tree of Eden” Edra said as Merus looked confused. He stopped eating for a second.

“Oh boy, here we go.” Edra said, Merus got comfortable as he stopped eating the candy to listen to his mother.

“Eden has been around for a long time, probably longer than anything else has even been. Its a large Tree, it represents everything. It is everything. There's nothing more important or profound than it.” Edra stated as Merus starred in amazement. He set his bag of candy to the side so he could listen

“Where is it at?” Merus asked, his curiosity piqued.

“It’s beyond here, it’s the core of everything.” Edra answered as she noticed Merus got excited again.

“That’s so cool!” Merus exclaimed

“Yea, but also a pain.” Edra replied with a groan

“Why is that?” Merus asked, confused as to why.

“A lot of annoying gods and a lot of annoying rules.” Edra groaned staring off to the side, just thinking of it annoyed her.

“There are more gods?!” Merus said in surprise, thinking his mother was the only one.

“a ton. There's a bunch of stuff that goes into Godhood.” Edra explained yet as vague as ever.

“Like what?” Merus tilted his head, interested in what godhood was like

“Needing to be prayed to and needing the affection of people.” Edra continued

“Do you have anybody that prays to you?” Merus asked curious of the people that follow his mother.

“I have a few committed followers, some conduits.” Edra answered, reverting her gaze back to Merus. Merus was slightly intrigued as soon as she said conduits

“What do they do as your followers?” Merus asked

“Praise and adore me in the most accurate ways possible. You'll understand when your older” Edra said brushing it off.

”okay! What other gods are there?” Merus questioned

“There's the Seven, they were born from Nunn themselves, they’re highest you can get within this place. There's Myself, Prism, Conduits to a degree and a few others like the annoying Architect and the Eastern Dragons.” Edra answered

“Who is Nunn?” Merus asked.

“God, the only one.” Edra said.

“But you’re also a god, what’s the difference?” Merus said confused

“I'm a God yes, but I'm not The God. You see Nunn is defined as the omniarch, the truest of the true, the absolute and above that. No one or thing could ever describe Nunn accurately, if that's their name I mean. Nunn has so damn many.” Edra explained only for Merus to get confused yet brushed it off as if he did.

“Woah, so they can, like, do anything? like even stuff that you can't?" Merus asked as Edra nodded

“Especially stuff I can’t.” Edra said

"Wow, that sure sounds like a lot of power." Merus sat as he thought for a bit "what kind of stuff can you do?"

“Just about anything, but not anything. What would you like to see me do?” She asked

Merus thought for a bit, wondering what he could possibly want to see. He looked down to his bag of candy then to the cosmic-like structure the kingdom had. “An editable star.” He said

“Sure…” Edra, with a wave of her hand created an edible red star of which she handed to Merus.

He looked at the small red sun that sat gently in his hands, astonished. He ate it in one big gulp.

Edra watched him down it. it didn't have a texture or taste though it made Merus’s breath cold and gave him a harsh brain freeze.

Merus held his head due to the brain freeze “it hurts... what is this?"

“A star, one of my own making” Edra answered, despite it not being the answer Merus wanted.

“I know it was a star but my head hurts, it feels cold and i don't know why" he said

“I made it so” Edra said.

"Oh, okay." Merus said as he continued to hold his head "Can you make it go away?" He asked.

“Power through it, you must be strong.” Edra said as Merus Nodded.

“Okay.” he said as he tried to ignore the pain and power through it.

“So tell me, what has your curiosity? Any questions?” Edra asked

”I’m not sure. I guess I’m curious about a lot of things and how they work? From my time here I’ve grown fascinated with the cosmos, it makes me want to know more yet there’s so much out there I wanna see” Merus said with a wide smile.

“...I guess a field trip could be nice. Where do you want to go?” Edra asked as Himmsworth walked back into the room.

“Careful, women aren't always good with directions.” Himmsworth chuckled. Edra starred at Himmsworth with a raised eyebrow.

“You looking to lose one of your nine lives, furball?” Edra said, annoyed.

“Ehhh” Himmsworth smirked as he walked right up to Merus, sitting beside him.

"well, i don't know where to really go." Merus bent down to Himmsworth "maybe you have a place we could go to"

“How does the Tree of Eden sound to ya little lad?” Himmsworth suggested.

Merus sprang up in excitement. "Sounds good to me! what do you say, Mutha?"

“I suppose it’s a good idea.” Edra said.

“Yay! So how do w-“ but before Merus could finished Edra had transported herself, Merus and Himmsworth to the land of Eden, the Eden tree sat in front of them. “e get there?” Merus finished before looking in shock. “Woah.” He said in awe as he gazed upon the tree, it’s scale compared to them was like an ant to the universe

“Is that the Eden tree?! It’s so huge!” Merus exclaimed as Edra stayed quiet, starring at the tree too.

“Yes, indeed” Himmsworth said as Merus continued to stare at the tree in amazement. “Quite yes, the tree is magnificent”

“It really is!” Merus said as his eyes looked around the area, not much was here. At best it was just a field of grass. “So what is there to do around here?”

“Hundreds of kingdoms to express, infinite upon infinite sets of stories to visit and more. Little brother there is so much to see, luckily time isn't a problem here.” Himmsworth said.

“It all seems so overwhelming. Mutha, what do you think we should do first?” Merus turned to his mother.

“You know they say Eden has magical properties and can grant blessings to the soul. Sometimes it's good just to bathe in its light.” Edra said

”really? This place must really be something.” he gasped “do you think they have an amusement park!” Merus said excitedly

“Heheh, no, no not here. Maybe in other places. Did you want a small playground to play on?” Edra asked as Merus’s eyes lit up.

“Yea!” He said practically jumping in place as with a snap of a finger a simple playground was created just for Merus.

Like a child at a park, Merus ran straight toward the playground almost instantly. He jumped around the playground, climbing and swinging his way through it

Edra watched and chuckled to herself.

“You’re enjoying your time with the child? That's good to hear” Himmsworth said as he too watched Merus play.

“He is enjoyable.” Edra replied as Merus played on the swings and had fun as a child should. Edra couldn't help chuckling a bit more

“So active, I guess if I were just made I too would want to stretch my muscles.” Himmsworth said. Merus laughed as he went higher and higher on the swings until…he fell off and face planted.

“Ow…” Merus groaned as he got up, dusting himself off.

“You okay?” Edra asked

“He’ll live.” Himmsworth said.

“Yea I’m fine I just went a bit too high.” Merus said as he walked back over to his mother and Himmsworth.

“That’s good.” Himmsworth replied.

"For a place that is everything it sure is empty. Where is everyone?" Merus asked

“We're not near any towns or people at the moment. These lands are vast and far. To travel on foot would take long. Besides, we're in a fairly secluded area.” Himmsworth answered

”ooh okay! Hey Himmsworth, how come you're a talking cat? Don’t cats just go meow?” Merus asked

“I take the form if a cat, but I'm actually something entirely different” Himmsworth said

“What are you then?” Merus questioned

“I'm a being created from the Cosmic essence of the world. But I was also born from another being.” Himmsworth answered

“May I ask who?” Merus asked politely.

“Kimonoforlosa” Himmsworth said

”that name sounds complicated to say. Kimon- kimonofor-“ Merus stopped to think of how to pronounce it

“Kim-ono-folosa, the r is silent.” Edra explained

“Indeed”

”ooh I get it now. Kimonoforlosa. Got it!” Merus said

“That's good, but remember that higher beings aren't the kind that like to be spoken of lightly. Always speak of higher gods in a graceful manner.” Edra said

“Though they wont do anything if you don't. They wouldn't daresay their hands with your corpse.” Himmsworth chimed in

”oh, I’m sorry then. Hey Himmsworth I have another question. If you always know everything then what is life like to you?” Merus asked.

“simple, I lay around all day and do nothing.” Himmsworth answered

“Boring creature” Edra said.

“Sometimes though I also help with the affairs of others.” Himmsworth continued

”but doesn’t that make life a little stale for you? I mean knowing everything kinda ruins the fun, don’t you think?” Merus said as Himmsworth shook his head

“Not really, just means I can mess with multiple choices. If I kick over a daisy then I end the world. If I decide not to go outside one day a war will start. I have so many fantastic choices.” He said

”guess I never thought of it that way. Waaaaitt! If you know everything can you, like, read my future? Like a fortune teller?” Merus said, hoping for a positive answer

“Of course I can” Himmsworth replied.

“Maybe you can read my future!” Merus said

“Why would you want that? Won't that "take out all the fun?"” Himmsworth said, quoting Merus.

”how dare you use my words against me! But fair play. Well how many adventures have you been on?” Merus asked as Edra created a hammock for her to lay on.

“A lot, more than Edra’s been alive.” Himmsworth said

“And how old is Mutha?” Merus asked

“Age at this point wouldn't mean anything. However if you want a percentage than she's younger than the TransVoid” Himmsworth said

“What’s the transvoid?” Merus asked, still full of questions.

“Where I come from.” Himmsworth replied.

”That doesn’t answer anything but okay. Hey Mutha, what was life like when you were a child?” Merus asked only for Edra to space out for a second.

“...I'd rather not share that right now.” She said

“I can share.” Himmsworth said only for Edra to instantly look towards him.

“Cat.” Edra growled, looking at Himmsworth with a less than pleased expression.

”it’s okay I can be patient!” Merus said as he thought about more questions.

“Why are you trying to hold back his conquest for knowledge? Knowledge is power.” Himmsworth said

You can't just tell him everything! He'll get too many ideas.” Edra exclaimed as Merus tilted his head confused

“Sounds like it isn't my problem.” Himmsworth said

“isn’t it good for me to get ideas? Isn’t that what you’d want?” Merus asked

“Yes, it's just some things shouldn't be looked into or explored” Edra replied

“Why?” Merus said with a confused tone

“Because I said so!” Edra exclaimed as Merus stayed quiet. It was quiet, no one said a word. Merus got up and left for the playground to go jump on it, not wishing to make his mother angry. He felt confused.

eventually Merus just sat on the playground, away from Edra and Himmsworth, as he dangled his legs off of the small play area, staring at the Eden tree. Himmsworth looked over to Edra as he then walked over to Merus.

“Hello there kid.” Himmsworth said, sitting beside Merus.

Merus looked to his side. “Hm? Oh, hi Himmsworth.”

“Hello kiddo, don't take it too close to heart” Himmsworth said.

“I know I shouldn't, it's just I don’t get it?” Merus said

“What?” Himmsworth said, looking at Merus

”If she wants me to gain knowledge and power then how come I can’t have all the knowledge? But there’s so much on my mind, ya’know? I don’t want to make Mutha mad.” Merus said

“I know, just take things one step at a time is all I think she means to say.” Himmsworth replied

“I guess you’re right. I’m getting ahead of myself.” Merus said as kept swinging his legs off of the playground. He stared off into the large tree. “You said the tree has stories and more, right?”

“Yes.” Himmsworth said with a little nod.

“What kind of stories and other things does it have?” Merus asked

“The collective stories of all that there is, has been and will never be.” Himmsworth answered

“Sounds complicated.” Merus replied.

“That’s because it is.” Himmsworth said.

Merus continued staring at the large tree, feeling the playground with his hand. "I think the playground's gotten boring. Is there anything else we can do?" He said as Edra walked over.

“We could go and check out the endless sea, but if we do I want you to know to NEVER AND I MEAN EVER! Touch the water there” she said

“Sure!” Merus said

“I’m serious boy.” Edra said

“I know I was just saying let’s go.” Merus said

“Let's go then” Edra said as she teleported them to the endless sea, they were at the beach leading towards it.

Merus sat on the sand, staring into the endless sea. “So this is the endless sea?” He asked as his mother nodded.

“Yes, it's a sea that puts all who step in it and all who get touched by its water.” Edra said as Merus made sure to stay away from the water.

“Huh.” Merus kept staring ahead at the sea. “Why would anyone come out here?” He asked

“To watch Messiah.” Edra said

“Who is Messiah?” Merus questioned as he looked up at his mother.

“Just watch and you'll see him.” Edra pointed in the distance as a large figure reappeared in distance and was walking through the large sea

“Woah he’s huge!” Merus said in awe, staring at Messiah instead of the sea.

“He truly is.” Edra responded

”So what does he do? Just walk in the sea?” Merus asked

“His presence is said to bless everyone in Eden and give them happy long lives. He's also one of the only gods to truly take action against the Eldest Son.” Edra answered

”a lot of people must idolize him. I hope I get to have a happy long life.” Merus said

“You will.” Edra assured as Merus sprang up with an idea

“Oh! Do you think I could meet him?” Merus asked as Edra nodded

“You could, yea.” she said

“Oh yes.” Himmsworth chimed in.

Merus got excited “I want to meet him!” He said enthusiastically as Edra just looked up to see Messiah standing there.

“He really is big…” Merus said in awe once again. “Hi Messiah!” Merus shouted. Messiah waved as he then began to walk off into the endless sea once again.

“Aw…” Merus said disappointed. “I was hoping to talk with him”

“He doesn't really speak all too much to others.” Edra said, which made Merus feel a little better.

"Oh i guess that's okay then maybe next time." Merus said as a shadow loomed over them.

“Yea, next time” Edra said as a voice rang out.

“Well, well, well, look who it is.” A voice said as the three turned around

“Uh oh.” Himmsworth said as they all looked up to meet the second son of pain.

“Mutha, who is that?” Merus asked as the second son of pain gained more interest.

“Mutha? Never thought you for the type to settle down.” The second son said with a smug smirk.

“Didn't think you still liked talking, what do you want?” Edra said as Merus looked to the second son of pain then to Edra, confused. The second son of pain looked down at Merus who was playing with the sand while also maintaining eye contact.

“What do you want?” Edra asked as the second son kept looking, only for Edra to stand in front of Merus.

“What is it?” The second son asked

“None of your business.” Edra answered.

Merus moved over to Himmsworth, getting close to his ear. “Who is that?” He whispered

“Thats the 2nd Son of Pain. She's known for many things, however her cruelty is one of them unfortunately. Her cruelty knows no end-“ however once Himmsworth finished both him and Merus would feel a large shockwave where Edra and the 2nd son were. Once they turned to look, they saw the two were standing in front of each other closely and ready to fight.

“Uh oh." Himmsworth said, knowing just what was about to go down.

“You got a lot of nerve space cunt, better learn your place.” The Second son said with an aggressive tone.

“I don't need that from the queen of cosplays. You're dressed like an inverted Crescent moon.” Edra retorted

“Do you think we should move away?” Merus asked, staring up at the two.

“Oh most likely, yes” Himmsworth said as both he and Merus began to run away as the fight started brewing.

“Why so protective? You trying to hide something?” The second son said

“The only thing I'll be hiding is your body when I'm done with you.” Edra said as suddenly the second son of pain gritted her teeth as she then sucker punched Edra in the mouth, Edra backed up a few steps as she spit out some blood.

“Your power doesn't do you any good if I don't give you a chance to think huh!?” The second son said angrily.

Edra wiped her mouth as she then sent out a powerful shockwave sending The 2nd Son flying straight into Eden. “Stupid bitch!”

“Oh it’s kicking off!” Himmsworth said as Merus was clearly worried for his mother.

“MUTHA!” Merus yelled, worried for his mother. He turned to Himmsworth. “Isn’t there anything we can do?!”

“We have a few options, but none of them will do use good. WAIT! I have an idea!” Himmsworth said

The second son shot out of the tree and began sucker punching Edra in the face, too quick for her to think. She swept her legs and then elbowed her into the ground.

“What’s your idea?” Merus asked in a rushing tone. He glanced between Himmsworth and his Mother's battle.

“Just you wait.” Himmsworth replied as just then Edra, in response, sent out a large pulse sending the 2nd Son flying back a bit

“Damnit, I'm out of practice." Edra said with a huff and groan.

“Seems like Eden's going to lose its God of the Cosmos.” The 2nd son said as Edra huffed and puffed.

The 2nd son got ready to run forward until a colorful hand went flying past her, nearly hitting her. “hm?"

She looked over only to see Prism, the God of Disorder.

“Awfully far from Daddy's watchful eye now aren't we.” Prism said, the 2nd sons eyes narrowed.

“Woah! Who’s that?!” Merus said looking at the brightly colored being.

“That's Prism, God of disorder or better to say, the Forbidden Conduit of Disorder.” Himmsworth answered

“Shall I send you home? Or do you wanna show me you can walk?” Prism said as the 2nd son stayed quiet. She simply starred at Prism with an annoyed expression.

“He’s so colorful!” Merus exclaimed

“Yes he is.” Himmsworth said

“I can still leave if you want.” Prism said, looking at the two.

“No, no we're sorry please continue.” Himmsworth said as Merus sat and watched Prism.

The 2nd son turned her attention to Prism and blitzed to him, the two flew up into the air. She threw a flurry of punches and blasts, shaking the Many branches of the tree of Eden.

Prism dodged the attacks as he knew that he wouldn't be able to phase through them. He used his arms to wrap around the 2nd Son and hold her still. “Now would be a good time to retreat.” He said

“Hmp.” the 2nd son blitzed straight through Prisms arms and punched his entire torso to bits

Prism went flying back a few feet before the 2nd Son then began to punch mash and bash Prism's skull in and then send him flying down to the ground “...god damn, sweet Nunn that hurt.” Prism tried regenerating his body, but to no avail

“We should get going, let's go boys.” Edra said

“Come on Merus.” Himmsworth replied. Merus looked towards his Mother and Himmsworth, then back to Prism.

”okay! Thank you Prism!” Merus said as he followed his mother and Himmsworth. Edra picked them both up and then teleported them away leaving Prism with the 2nd Son

“Can't believe I risked my life for this.” Prism said, regenerating.

The second son Landed right in front of Prism “So still want to die?” She said

“Had no plans on it.” Prism said
