CHAPTER LI [FINAL]. CHAOS AND KARMA GO HAND IN HAND.

__________________________________

Chaos is inevitable, and that is a fact.

From the moment that this soul was created, chaos was the one to breathe life into it. Chaos was the one to cradle it in her arms before choosing just the right person to give life to. She watched over with a close eye, making sure that this soul would do exactly what she wanted it to do. She gave it no other purpose than to create more chaos in her absence.

She never expected this chaos to reciprocate on itself, however. Karma struck it like a truck, tearing the life from its body. Chaos saved it before it could vanish forever. She stole the life from someone else and rebirthed this soul into them instead. Each time, Karma sought after it, making it pay for what it was doing.

Chaos and Karma go hand in hand, though it wasn't in the way many people would imagine. Karma held a grudge against Chaos and interfered with anything and everything that Chaos tried to do. The way Karma found her revenge best? The soul.

So, because of the feud between Chaos and Karma, this soul that was created was caught in the middle of it. Chaos did everything she could to protect the fragile thing, but Karma was unmerciful, and always tried to destroy it. Chaos feared the dismantling of the soul and the things that would happen in its absence, so she took it and ran.

She hid the soul in the mortal realm and promised to come after it again when it was safe. But Karma wasn't happy with what Chaos had done. Causing one problem after another, forcing Karma to clean up after her. So, Karma killed Chaos.

Her actions reciprocated upon herself, and Chaos was birthed back into the mortal realm, and she sought after her precious creation. When she found it, Karma was already there.

This is how everything began.

Year after year, decade after decade, century after century, and millennium after millennium, this soul has been destined to be killed at the hands of Karma. But before it can ever completely be destroyed, Chaos saves it and rebirths it. Chaos made a deal with Death to keep it alive.

Eris cradled my face in her hands. My head rested in her lap, my body laying halfway into the water on the beach of bones. Her thumbs stroked my cheeks, her hair slipping over her shoulders as she lowered her head down, kissing my forehead gently.

"Chaos."

She lifted her head slowly. "Death."

"I hope you remember the details of our contract?" The deep voice resonated in the domain—in my head.

"There are six. Half of those will return back to her," Eris said. "Strengthen her soul."

"Her soul is only weakening, Chaos. Soon, it will return to me."
