Chapter 6: The Gifts-2-The Patrons
"It seems we will have to postpone this, Daniel" I flashed my happiest smile at him, of course, its because he is a core component in the story and his life is important for his growth.
"And you" I looked towards the boy with the glasses, no actually, The boy with the broken glasses.
"May I know your name?"
He continued to stare at me, as he was about to open his mouth...
[Let Us All Dine, While I Explain What will Happen Tonight]
"Tell me your name next time then"
I looked Towards the woman who had just clapped, she was far from me but I could now see her. As I stared at her, I became ,suddenly, sat in a chair, 3 chairs away from the woman. I wasn't the only one in a chair as it seemed that everyone now sat at the large table in rank order. To my right was rank [=2=] and [=1=]. Rank 1 was a man with brown hair and black eyes, who had already started eating the food that had appeared in front of us. Rank 2 was a woman with long black hair blue eyes and a slender body, who instead of eating, was hugging the arm of Rank 1. Hmm, Maybe they are a couple that died together?
"Ew...Stop staring at us you creepy brat!"
*Sigh* Of course.
"Hey, Hey eve, calm down I'm sure he meant nothing by that and was just captured by your beauty"
"Stop It rai, You know I only care about you, His opinion doesn't matter his words are probably as ugly as he is, besides what do you think about me?"
"Of course, I think you are beautiful, after all, you are my reason for living, the sun in my life"
"Besides if he tries anything, I am here. I'm stronger and bigger than him in more than one way"
"Oh, Rai! I LOVE YOU!"
His hand started to caress her.
He whispered words to her that made my hands and toes curl up in cringe, God I might end up sick. He then turned to me as if I hadn't heard him.
"Sorry about her, My name is Rainer, This is Eve"
"Vexius"
I turned to the food and ate in hopes of zoning them out. It didn't work.
After an hour.
[Ladies and gentlemen, I do not believe I have formally Introduced myself, I am Eunomia. A sister of the Horae, I rule over lawfulness, So please commit no chaos lest you face my wrath]
Her face twisted to a creepy smile.
[Anyways, Excuse my excitement, I shall call the different patrons, some of whom you may know of. Each of you shall have a patron, the main reason you are here is that a patron has chosen you. The patron you pledge to shall give you something in return. They will give you Strength, Power. The patron you pledge to shall result in the shape and form of the power you receive. They may give you a power based on their own, A power based on your wish maybe? A power to help save? A power to help kill? There are 1000 Greater fable Patrons and countless minor fable patrons. The ones who have called you are the Greater fable Patrons and those minor fable patrons shall come along in case any wish to join them. Of course, By LAW, Greater fable Patrons will be able to give you a power much stronger than minor fable patrons. It is up to you whom you pledge to and it is their choice to accept. You may not be the only one to pledge to a specific Patron and the power of some patrons may suit you more than others. The main reason that patrons choose to sponsor you is so that you, their warriors, may spread their names in The Grand combined creation by the Patrons of the world...Xylheim. The power you receive will strengthen, upgrade and even EVOLVE from the number of people that sing their stories and (even better if) they worship them. Minor fable patrons may even be Evolved in this way. For every 10 000 the power will increase then, 100 000, then 1 000 000, then 10 000 000, etc Praying, however, works in the manner of 2500,
12 500, 62 500, etc. Although it will be difficult, an upgraded minor fable patron may even be more useful to you than a Greater fable Patron. Although it's not recommended as it will be very, VERY difficult. So we advise you choose the Greater Fable who has summoned you.]
[I spoke a lot so let us begin]
With that she stood up from her throne that she had sat in, Her braided grey hair dropped to her shoulders as she reached out and a spear with a large leaf at the top appeared in her grasp.
[By contract I summon all Fables and ask you remain in terms of peace lest you face the wrath of divine retribution. In accordance with the 10 codes of conduct, NO harm shall befall the Warriors while they stand here today]
I see, so they are not allowed to harm us here but may do so when we have been reincarnated? Good. I wonder If I can slay fables. Her speech continued a bit until.
[ARRIVE, PATRONS]
"Rai, what's happening?"
"Shh eve, Don't worry. you heard her they can't harm us"
A grand door appeared as many figures appeared in this grand hall. Tabs appeared before my eyes.
[Recommended]
[Patron who has chosen you]
[Greater Fable]
[Minor Fable]
[Warriors, a chart has been made to help you not look at every patron and decide but instead choose and you shall be led to them should they accept.]
Information on how to pledge appeared in my head as if I had always known. I also felt information about how to use the interface that appeared in front of me.
I could see the patrons stare at us. I could see many looks at only around the 100 mark none above the 1000 mark. I wonder, If they are clearly ignoring the weaker warriors how did they choose? Did they simply not realise others would be stronger? Did they see their warriors beforehand? Can they see the potential of their warriors? What happens if you're not chosen, do you die or do you just not receive a gift? Were all the warriors sent here by a bus? Why not just a large portal? Speaking of Busses who threw the damn bus at me? Ignoring my own questions, I pressed on the recommended tab in front of me.
[The hound of Ulster]
[Trouble-Making Lightning]
[Sun shaft Killer of enemies]
...
I recognize the first 2 names, however, the rest all confused me. The hound of Ulster is Cu Chulainn and the owner of the Gae Bulg. His weapon sounds entertaining but I am not a fan of the man himself and there is no guarantee he will give me his weapon. Trouble making lightning would, of course, be Enumclaw (I think), He had learned to rain spears of fire and his brother learned to throw boulders. His brother isn't mentioned I assume the recommended relates to my weapon? Also, It seems every patron are from varying myths.
I then pressed on Major fable Patrons tab.
[Great Sage Equal To heaven]
[The War Causing Beauty]
[Embodiment Of Thunder]
...
Oh! Sun Wukong I like that guy, at least I am a fan of his stories and mindset, but his powers are of not much interest to me. The war causing beauty... hmm... Aphrodite? Or could it be Athena? Also, Embodiment Of thunder could be either Zeus or thor... Ignoring it I pressed on Minor Fables Tab.
[Perfumed Protector]
[Beer-Lover of Crop Abundance]
[Obsucrities-Loving Brother]
Hmm, As I thought I know none of them but why does Perfumed Protector sound so familiar to me? Almost as if a Bitter memory. I then Proceeded to press the tab of the Patron who had chosen me.
I looked at the option on the screen. My mind became Eclipsed In the confusion.
