Tales From The Kronos

The pope was facing the three persons, with Silv pretending to be God and the two others next to her acting like bodyguards. Nor did the nun or the pope know how to react to them, and after a moment, he finally decided to talk.

"Are you really... A divine being? What are you doing here?" The man was shaking, he didn't know what to believe, and could only look at Silv with a lost gaze.

"Of course, and for the reason of my presence, it's because of a problem that may arise. I want to make sure that everyone is safe, you know? And since I'm here, I might as well see how everything is going." Silv's words seemed to convince the pope, but the nun herself wasn't so sure. She kept silent in her worries, and the pope took the lead.

"A problem? Of what kind?"

"It's about the devil itself, it's using my physical form to deceive people. But you will recognize it, it's always followed by a feminine, dumb-looking boy with white hair and a girl with long black hair who isn't much smarter.

"Is it true? We should warn everyone about it then!"

"Wait." Kairo, which stayed silent so far, raised his voice "Let me come with you, we should bring everyone to one place, and there, we will explain the situation."

The pope nodded his head in agreement, and together they left the church, leaving Evelyne with Silv and Ada.

"The devil, huh?" Evelyne was on her guard, and this time, kept a safe distance from them "You're not fooling me, you ain't no God."

Silv laughed like a maniac, the sound echoed throughout the church, leaving the nun afraid.

"Eve, you're so interesting!" The woman was surprised to hear her name, but she figured that the other nun must have told her since she did tell her name to Ada "Have you ever wondered the difference between God and the devil? The reason for your faith? The way to reach happiness?"

Evelyne took a step back, shocked. How did the girl know about all of that? Does she have divine powers after all? It only made her even more careful about them, but also made her realize how many things she couldn't understand in this world.

"And so?" The nun answered, with a voice full of defiance "Is it supposed to change anything about you? I still don't believe that you have any divine origin."

"Believe what you want, but you're dealing with something bigger than you, little nun." Silv headed toward the exit without giving a second look to the woman, followed by Ada.

Evelyne knew that something was wrong with them, but she had no idea why, and even less idea about what she should do.

The moon was high in the sky, and in the main place of the town, everyone was gathered. It wasn't a lot, barely a hundred maybe, but it was more than enough for Silv's plan. Everyone was ready to listen to her, but the crowd seemed uncertain. However, for the girl pretending to be God, it wasn't a problem. She was more than confident about her capabilities to sway them toward her goal.

"Hello, dear followers! First of all, thank you for everyone to be here so late, but this is an important matter. Soon, disaster will strike, and this land will be plunged into chaos!"

The crowd started to feel afraid, they didn't know how to react and waited for the girl to continue.

"Three persons will come, and try to steal my identity. They'll try to deceive you, and force you to change your ways! But do not fret, I will come again when the time will come, and I shall lead you to happiness and peace once more!"

The place stayed silent for a while until a person in the public dared to ask what was on everyone's mind.

"What tells us that you're right?"

"It is quite simple!" Silv turned toward Ada and looked at her for a while. The woman seemed deeply confused but suddenly realized that she was supposed to convince everyone with her powers. She wished she could use her card trick again, but she knew it would make Silv and Kairo mad. So instead, she decided to point at the moon. Nothing happened for a moment until the moon suddenly split in half. The gaze of everyone was on the moon, except for Silv, who stood there, wondering what happened.

"Ada, what did you do?"

"I just destroyed the moon." The cheerful tone of her voice and her smile made her look like a psychopath, but for her, she was just happy if she could do her job correctly.

Silv, on the other hand, seemed quite unsure about what she should do now. Convincing people right after they blew up the moon seemed like a hard task.

"The moon! It was... not good enough, we'll replace it with a new moon later, don't worry."

The crowd was shocked, the girl expected everyone to hate them, but instead, they cheered.

"You really are God!"

"Are you going to save us?"

"We believe in you!"

The trio was surprised but also happy. Their plan seemed to work after all. Silv started to think that she was the only smart person here and that everyone else was stupid.

"Yes... I will come back when the danger will arise, and together, we will reject the unholiness of the devil!"

The crowd was loud, believing every one of Silv's words. The girl with satisfied, knowing that she had a world that would obey each of her commands.

After a few hours had passed, Kairo, Silv, and Ada decided to go away from everyone to discuss without anyone hearing.

"Destroy the moon, that was your great idea?" Silv still didn't believe what happened, and the only thing that kept her calm was the fact that everything worked out in the end.

"I didn't have much time to think, and it's the only thing I could think of."

"It's not surprising that your world got destroyed..."

"I didn't destroy my world on purpose... Well, not exactly, I don't really regret it, but still, I didn't destroy it on purpose."

Silv didn't know how to react, this Ada really was mysterious. Kairo on the other hand seemed more annoyed than anything else.

"Are we done here? I believe you got what you need, so I'll just leave you here." Kairo left without even waiting for the answer, leaving both Ada and Silv together.

"So, can you tell me where Neige's world is now?" Ada had a visible smile on her face, she seemed excited to learn about it, but the girl had other plans in mind.

"I think I promised it, the problem is, I don't keep my promises. But I'm not done having fun with you." The girl showed a dagger. It seemed like nothing more than a simple dagger, but Ada looked in her pocket in a hurry before turning back toward Silv.

"Hey, that's mine! Give it back!"

"But if I do, you won't-" Before the girl could finish her sentence, a sort of tentacle came out of the ground and grabbed the arm holding the dagger "What? Since when you can do that!?" Realizing that she had no other choice, the girl quickly used the watch she had and disappeared in a flash of light.

"You can run, but you can't hide. I'll find you... Red pantie girl!" Ada snapped her fingers, and reality broke in front of her, forming a kind of portal "I can feel where she is, I should be able to follow her. I shouldn't have listened to her..." The former nun stepped into the portal, leaving this place once and for all.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She managed to get into the world the girl fled to, but she didn't know where she was exactly. She tried to feel Silv's location, but something else caught her attention.

"Neige... You're here too. That's frustrating, but I have more important for now."

The world looked like a city, it was way bigger and more futuristic than the place she was from, but she already traveled to similar places before. She picked a newspaper on the ground and tried to read it.

"I see, this place uses a language I barely know."

It was almost impossible for her to translate what it meant, all she could read was something about thief, and even then, she wasn't sure. If she wanted to find back her dagger, she would need to search for a moment. But she didn't have a lot of time, she needed to find another way.

"Excuse me Sister, I require your help."

A voice made her go out of her thoughts. She forgot that she was still in her holy nun outfit, she didn't want to deal with it, but she didn't have the heart to ignore her either.

"What is it, my child?"

"I'm searching for a girl, red hair, small, a bit rebellious and annoying. She's named Silv, have you seen her?"

"Silv?" Ada felt like she heard that name, but the description reminded her of the girl she was searching for, so maybe it was the same person "I haven't, but why are you searching for her?"

"It's nothing, it's my sister, and I need to find her."

The woman had long black hair and a uniform that looked similar to a detective. She didn't look at all like Silv, but if they were sisters, Ada thought she should help.

"I can help you to search for her, I can understand how hard it is to lose a sister."

"Thanks, you're really kind-hearted, but I wouldn't want to trouble yourself. It's my duty to-"

The detective-looking woman was suddenly interrupted by the voice of a police officer yelling.

"Lucie, stop them! They stole something!"

The policeman was chasing two persons, one was a girl with long light pink hair, with a bunch of chips bag in her arms, while the other was a figure that Ada recognized. A man with short white hair, a feminine appearance, and a shining watch on his wrist, also carrying chips bags.

"Neige? What is he doing?"
