Kapitel 1: The beginning
1730:
( Evangelia appears in the room where Kimon is sitting on his office trying to work)
E: What are you doing?
K:Trying to work but(puts pen down) since you are here it wont be possible. Why do you insist on interrupting me?
E: That's why.The look on your face makes my day.
(Says with a smile in her face and Kimon rolls his eyes)
K:The Queen of the Universe comes to me to feel content. What a joke.Im sure you have a sinister purpose for associating with me. Anyway,what do you want?
E: Oh come on. What kind of reaction is this.To see you of course. I missed you.
K: That's a lie!
E: Ok you're right it's a lie. I came to see if this is the time to tell me your secret!
( Kimon thinks for a sec)
K: No is not.And why do you wish to know everything by the way?
E: Because I'm the queen of this universe and I am not used to not knowing something.
K: If you wish to know so badly why don't you use your powers as "queen of the universe" to find out?
( Evangelia angry)
E: Listen here you little shape shifter I…
( Evangelia stops in the middle of the room and looks into the nothingness)
K: What happened, are you ok?
( No response for Evangelia)
K: Oh no! Not again!Why can't you text each other like normal people? But now that I think of it, wouldn't it be funny to have you here like a statue?
( In that time Evangelia came back)
E: You are all nonsense you know?
K: That was mean.
E: You will get over it I'm sure.I believe you already have.
( Evangelia sits on a chair and Kimon rolls his eyes)
Ε: I have to give it to you. I didn't expect you to get worried about me.
Κ: Dont be ridiculous. I couldn't care less about what happens to you. But as much as it pains me to admit I do fear some things in this multiverse. And the anger of your energy companions is on the list.
( Evangelia gets up annoyed)
E: And to think for a second I thought you have emotions. That you feel something.
K: Oh I do, just not for you! You have been annoying me since the beginning of the Second Universe.
E: And I will until I know how you are still alive!
( Kimon rolls his eyes annoyed)
E: I have to go.My royalty duties are calling me!
K: YES,dont let me keep you! And I have work to do!
E: I will not comment on that! Bye!
K: Don't let the door bite you on the way out!
( Evangelia disappeared from the room without using the door )
K: She always does that sometimes I wonder if she knows what doors are for!
(In the meantime in a palace far away)
(Dining room)
-For Spirits' sake Haures,put those papers away! We are eating.
-I know Adam but you know I have a ton of work to do.
(snaps his fingers and a female dark figure approaches)
-Inform me on today's matters
-Of course,my Prince.Except your usual everyday business like guiding people into impulsive decisions drived by the passion of hatred,destroyed families,murders...
-Yes yes I am aware of all that but I have more pressing matters to attend to. You know it. The MultiUniverse Federation is under collapse due to riots happening across SEVEN universes and you are presenting me children who beat each other over a ball!
-Im sorry,sir I thought you were informed
-Informed of what?
-I changed your schedule.
(Haures turns to Adam who tries to drink his coffee)
-You did what? How dare you? You had no right.
-As your husband I had every right. This rebellion has become your obsession.It has started to affect your life. Take a day off. Go watch a jealous husband murder his ex or a petty man destroy his colleague's career.
(Haures slams his hand on the table and stands up)
-Just because we are married doesn't mean you get to control my life. This riot is a primary business for everyone here in the Shadow Realm! Even Paimon is drowning in work(points at the third man sitting across him checking his own paperwork)
-First of all,brother,I am always busy but I must agree with Adam. You are becoming too invested in this job. You haven't slept or eaten properly for a week. I tried to talk to you yesterday but you said to mind my own business. Anyway,I have to go. I want to see some births on my way to work
(Adam looks at him lifting an eyebrow)
-For how many eons will you be celebrating your victory?
(Paimon stops at the door and looks at him)
-I am not celebrating. But remembering how Mary,Spirit of Motherhood,was tricked into putting my greatest masterpiece in her more sacred domain,will always bring me immense joy.
-Just say that you as the Shadow of Pain managed to torment women for the rest of eternity and each scream of pain feeds your ego and pride. Plain and simple
(Paimon rolled his eyes and left)
(Adam looks at Haures)
-What a family.
-Now its not the time for jokes! My mental health and productivity doesnt concern you!Stay of of my business! Do you understand?
-If I prove that you are starting to lose control will you sit down and stop yelling?
-If you manage to prove that I will take the weekend off to go wherever you want and I will apologise!
(Adam smiles and puts his cup of coffee away)
-Look at the time
-What?
-Look at the time. What time is it?
-Its 8:30.8:30?!!!!Thanos!
(Haures storms out if the room and Adam is left grinning)
-Despite being the Shadow of Hatred,he sure has a soft spot for his little brother.
(looks at the cup of coffee)
-Maybe I will ask him to go to Universe 5848647. I heard it has amazing beaches
(drinks)
(A few minutes later Haures comes back)
-Well?
-Well,he left at 8 o clock. That kid is going to be in so much trouble when he gets home.
-Oh come on Haures. He is not going to starve if he misses one breakfast.
-If I dont keep a constant eye on that kid he us going work himself to exhaustion again!
-It runs in the family,I see.By the way,when will you stop calling him a kid?He is over 20.000 years old.
-Yeah,he is not even 50.000 years old!
-And when he becomes 50.000 you will consider him young because he will be younger than 1 million and so on. When will you admit that you...
-That me what?(starts to get irritated)
-Nevermind
(stands up and kisses him)
-Now you better start planning that weekend off and during that time I expect your apology to be(kisses him again)sincere.
(Haures kisses Adam)
-I will let you be the judge of that
