Destiny Sorrow by Rod Galves (recommended ebook reader .txt) 📕

the order were different,” replied Evelin. “Let us through, we have to kill God.”

The father laughed at the girl's proposal.

“You were never very rebellious; I think now decided to enter this phase. Anyway, killing God is not an option. That's not even possible.”

“Let us pass that I show what is possible.”

“Evelin! This is something serious, do you know how many lives have been lost because of these chaotic?”

“Why don't you understand? All these people suffered for the fate that cursed them. They've all had terrible lives because of their destinies, and you know what the only difference from a Chaos Agent to a Guardian of the Order is?”

Evelin waited for his father to answer, but he was silent.

“It is the damn word that appears in the arms of each one. Their destinies in practice are the same, and yet we exalt and give everything that's best for one group while arresting others and destroying their lives!”

“It's not like that, the chaotic...”

“They suffered on the basis of an arbitrary decision of society.” Interrupted Evelin by pointing her gun at the guardian. “And if you don't give us a pass, I'll be forced to fight.”

The father looked without knowing how to react and then the whole ship began to tremble. They heard the huge explosion happening in the distance and the two who were standing had to hold on so as not to fall with force that ran across the Temple. In this moment, the only thought in the heads of the agents being Dijo.

When the tremor was over, they realized that gradually the Temple was beginning to descend.

“I have already brought down the Air Temple,” Sorom said, striving to get up, “now kill the great God-Computer.”

Evelin helped him walk and the two looked at the guardian, completely shaken by everything that was going on.

“Can we go, or are you going to shoot me in the back?” Asked Sorom.

“If you have come this far...” Simeht began. “I do not know... I still think it's impossible, but... If you follow that door, you're going to die without a doubt.”

“I don't think you understand yet, Dad. Here we create our own destiny.”

The girl opened the door, flooding the room with light, and the two left leaving Simeht behind.

God-Computer

Evelin helped Sorom walk, and he seemed to get worse at every step.

“Are you sure you want to continue?” Asked Evelin.

“If you ask me that one more time, I'm going to be forced to behead you.”

They walked the outer plateau of the Temple before a concave form with a circular door larger than Ringnug. They saw the clouds moving away as the Temple left the skies and approached the city slowly.

In front of the door was Guardian Astra, the swordswoman in gold and black armor who were informed.

“Grab your weapon,” she ordered. “This is where it all ends!”

Sorom got loose from Evelin and grabbed his sword. The girl looked at him finding him mad, but his calm look in response reassured her. Sorom was straight to the circular door, with Guardian Astra being the only thing on the way.

“I've been waiting a long time for our fight. Of course, I’ll use my weapon.” Then he spoke on the communicator. “Now, Norna!”

The guardian proved confused and Sorom took three steps to the left. Then Ringnug appeared with his cannon pointed directly at the door. The shooting happened and Sorom felt the huge heat of the laser pass very close to him; however, when it was over, there was a hole in the door and no trace of the guardian. The pair returned to their destination while Norna continued to be targeted by enemies.

Ringnug's barriers were nearly burned and were considerably slower than the guardian ships.

“Sorry Dice, I have no other choice.” She said by herself.

Ringnug had lost the barriers and flew straight without further trying to dodge. In a few shots, the ship exploded in a fireball.

The guardians celebrated their victory, yet a ship came out of the explosion. Rinlojm was considerably smaller than Ringnug and Norna piloted it at full speed, with their lasercannons hitting enemy ships.

Sorom and Evelin saw the explosions in the sky and then entered the passage to the God-Computer. The light went down, and they had to use flashlights to see.

Their footsteps echoed in the metal corridor and Sorom could only think how close he was to his goal.

After several meters of corridor, they arrived at a large room, with a huge cylindrical structure horizontally right in middle. It was possible to hear something spinning within this structure and parts of it lighting up with a blue light. The structure was almost ten meters high and more than twenty in length and one large gear in it’s edge that apparently was not connect to anything.

“Is that the God-Computer?” Asked Evelin mesmerized.

“I think... so?” Sorom replied in the same state.

A strange silence formed, the two watched the static machine as the only sound was the mechanism moving within the structure.

“Will you shoot lasers at us?” Asked Sorom to the machine. “Turn a giant robot and attack us?”

No response, just the constant sound of the machine.

“Nothing?” Asked Sorom disappointed.

The two approached the supposed God-Computer and Sorom took the Dyna42 from his things.

“Wait.” Asked Evelin.

“You're not going to ask me to give up now, are you?” Asked him contradicted.

“No, but I think I should do that.”

“What?” Asked Sorom frustrated. “I have spent more than fifteen years of my life preparing for this moment.”

“I know, but... You asked me not to protect you because of my fate. You're very special and I think you're afraid that means it was your destiny from the beginning, aren't you?”

Sorom became silent and closed his eyes.

“Let me do it then,” continued the girl, “this is certainly not my destiny and then you do not need to spend the rest of your life believing that you are some kind of chosen one.”

“I know it was random.” He spoke. “I know I'm not chosen for anything; it was just a stupid
