"You truly are a foolish being. A slave from the very start, and till this moment you remain an ignorant slave, all for a desire you know full well will never come true."
"I said who are you?! How do you know all this?!" Ryan, or whatever was possessing him, screamed, unable to comprehend any of it.
She looked at him for a moment, then smiled and touched a pendant on her neck, one Ryan hadn't noticed at all during the time he'd spent with her. It was a heart-shaped pendant, nothing particularly special about it, though the way she held it said otherwise.
"Do you know why she made you do all this? To push him down a path she knew he'd never willingly follow. Do you even know why she focuses so much on him, why you were made to fuel his hatred, to keep feeding him those memories?" she asked, seated on the chair opposite 'Ryan.'
"What are you?" This time the voice sounds scared.
"I told you before, I'm the villainess. You should already know this, given you've been trying to extract information about the future from him, since you're not sure whether 'she' will keep her promise," Selena said, a smile spreading across her lips.
"Then do you know the FUTURE? Would…?"
"No, I don't know the future, but you will never become a primordial god."
"NONSENSE! She promised!"
"Then why did you doubt her in the first place?" The voice went silent.
"Let me tell you a story," she continued. "There was once a mortal who grew so powerful that he surpassed the influence of fate and WILL, a mortal who started out on a quest for absolute power. He conquered everything that stood before him, and with time reached the pinnacle, growing so powerful that even the gods began to feel threatened, the reason for that was simple. This mortal was never a child of the WILL. Unlike the Children of Destiny, who may appear to have unlimited potential but are in fact restrained by the WILL to reach only a certain point, this mortal carried no such chains, his growth was boundless, that scared them. They felt threatened, if he was left as he was, there was a chance he'd one day transcend the mortal level entirely, so they decided to eliminate the variable."
She paused.
"But that was the start of it, the start of the battle that became the greatest the primordial gods had ever faced. Gods themselves were sent to put an end to this mortal, but to their great surprise, those gods were slain, which was supposed to be impossible. Gods are immortal, yet the essence of those gods completely ceased to exist, that was when they realized this mortal was no ordinary being. It might have been the end of them all, the end of every primordial god. So many lesser gods were dispatched, the fates themselves tried to engineer coincidences to bring about his end, but it was all futile. This mortal was above them all, but then one goddess proposed an idea, the only idea that could possibly destroy him," she said, her smile fading.
"WAIT. No! DON'T TELL ME!" The entity said in absolute shock, it had heard this story once before, the story of the fallen god, a story it had long dismissed as myth.
"The records were brought forth, every god infused their essence into the creation of one being, a being made not to be powerful, but to embody fragility. That being was created, but it was then they realized the plan was doomed to fail, for a reason they all knew too well. There was still a way to make it work, that way required a certain goddess to sacrifice half of her own essence for its creation." She paused, then asks, "Now do you know why she made you do all this?"
The entity was already quivering, piecing it together.
"Well, if you still haven't figured it out, that's a shame," she said, her eyes glowing as strange symbols, bluish strands of ever-shifting patterns, began to emerge from her hands.
"Wait. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" The entity tried to escape, but it was futile, the symbols instantly sank into Ryan's chest.
"I intend to change the story, and for that to happen you can't be part of it anymore," she said, then moved closer to Ryan, whose golden eyes had now reverted to ash. She brought her lips close to his, then stopped just short, "make it interesting, you did promise after all," she said, then vanished.
