"Why…" Suki looks at the address again. "Damn it!"
The address has only coordinates. Suki didn't check the coordinates. Who comes to Oblivion? "Argh!"
It's such a bad idea to come here. There are rumours about Chaos, the primordial goddess, who nearly killed Abyss and then, caused havoc in some world called Iravan. Suki glances at the sender address. There's no name, but the address is from Iravan.
She usually doesn't pay attention to the world where she goes to pick up the package. But now, she regrets it.
"Damn!" She has a bad feeling about this huge package. "This isn't good."
Dai, who is standing on the ground, looks up at her and raises his brow.
"This is a conspiracy." She tells him, "I am sure that something bad is inside the package. I should have checked the address. How do I find Chaos and get her signature on the receipt? She will kill us if she sees us."
The toddler blinks his eyes in confusion.
"Chaos is bad." She says, "We are in trouble."
He nods his head then. Dai steps toward the package and punches it hard. The box falls apart.
"What have you done?" Suki cries. When the toddler points at the boy who is watching them in confusion, she lets out another cry, "Who are hell are you?"
"My name is Silas," Dressed in a blue shirt and navy trousers, the boy with golden locks tell her. He looks around twelve at most.
"What?" Suki gasps when she realises that the boy is actually a god. "How did you end up inside the box?"
"I was sleeping in the garden after my classes were over." Silas frowns. "When I woke up, I was inside the box. No matter what I did, I couldn't get out."
Suki wants to scream.
"Where are we?" Silas, the son of Noras and Ea, stands up. He pats the dust off his clothes as he looks around. As far as he can see, there is only whiteness stretched out. "The canvas is so big. I can draw as much as I want here."
This is truly bad. Suki is sure that somewhat tricked the postal service for a bigger reason. She grabs Silas' wrist and picks up Dai, and then tries to leave. But the exit of the oblivion is closed. "Darn!"
"Oh!" Silas exclaims when he sees a throne. "There is someone sitting on the throne."
How come Suki hasn't seen it? But when she looks in the direction in which he is pointing, she notices a white throne that can easily lose in the white background. On the throne, there is a little girl in a white gown. The ends of her long white tresses are touching the flood. Silas jerks her hand off and runs towards the girl.
"No, don't go." Suki shouts, "Don't wake up the sleeping god."
But the kid doesn't stop. Dai also waddles behind the boy. Suki, having no choice but to follow them, goes after them. She watches Silas climbing the stairs quickly. He sits beside the girl and looks at her with awe.
"She is so cute." He pinches her cheek. "Her skin is so soft and white."
Suki wipes the sweat on her forehead. Perhaps, this is fine. Chaos is asleep. As much as she knows, gods can't wake up easily.
"I love her!" Silas announces. "I want to marry her."
"..." Suki knows that the new generation kids are growing up quickly, but this is too fast. "You just met the girl."
And the girl on the throne is not just any girl. She is CHAOS.
"I will marry her when we grow up." He hugs the girl protectively. "Nobody can change my mind."
"..." Suki wonders what should she say. Is it her problem? Nope. "But the girl hasn't agreed."
That does cause the worried lines to appear on Silas' forehead. The girl is sleeping. She hasn't said yes. He pinches her cheek a few times to wake her up, but nothing happenes. She keeps her eyes closed, sleeping as a doll.
"How do I wake her up?" Silas asks Suki.
"There is no way to wake her up." Suki replies, "It's best not to wake her up."
"Can't I marry her while she is still sleeping?" Silas questions.
"No, that's illegal." Suki scratches her chin. "In some strange worlds, it is legal, but I don't think that she will be happy about being married like that. She might kill you for this."
Silas blinks his eyes as if he can't digest her words.
Kids are truly hard to handle. Suki wants to leave. She wonders if Silas can help her leave. He should have enough magic to get out of this. Honestly, this has never happened to her before. She used to believe that she can go anywhere with her post woman badge, but she is certainly wrong now.
But Silas seems adamant about Chaos. So, she comes up with a plan.
"There is a story that I heard from somewhere." She tells him casually, "There was some princess who received a curse. Because of that curse, she fell asleep. Nothing in the world could wake her up. Her parents cried and begged the good fairy to save their princess. Then, the good fairy put a spell on the princess: only true love would break the sleeping curse."
"True love?" Silas widens his starry eyes.
"Yes." Guilt haunts her heart for a moment. But it disappears pretty soon. "If your love is true, your true love kiss will wake her up. But if it is not true, she won't wake up. Then, you should look for ways to get out of this place."
It sounds fair to Silas. He thanks her, "I will wake her up."
"Yeah, go ahead." She resists the urge to laugh. Kids are cute. Naive boys are cuter. Then, she senses an intense stare from someone. Suki looks down at the toddler who is giving her a judgmental look. "What? Do you also want a kiss?"
He doesn't shake or nod his head.
"I have no love for you." She rolls her eyes. "Who knows? You might be an old man in a toddler form."
"..."
Meanwhile, Silas pecks the girl's rosy lips. He waits for a second for her to wake up. When he senses no movement, he kisses her lips again -- longer this time. No true love? Feeling depressed, he leans in for the third and final kiss.
A small hand smacks his face hard. The girl opens her beautiful golden eyes, "Bastard, what the hell are you doing?"
