Destiny Sorrow by Rod Galves (interesting books to read txt) 📗

the room was illuminated thanks to the large windows that showed ships circling the base.

To Evelin's surprise, the two men seemed to be having a peaceful argument, with no weapons in hand. She immediately pointed her gun at the agent, who took the scabbard of the sword instinctively.

“He killed Aiden, Marshal!”

Before she could shoot, the marshal interrupted her with a melancholy voice.

“Yes, Sorom told me. It's a shame, but don't shoot him. Please.”

Evelin could not understand his superior's orders and got confused with him saying the name "Sorom". Although similar, this agent was much younger than the general and with much longer hair.

“What do you mean, sir? He's an enemy, an Agent of Chaos, killed the chosen one... How did you kill the chosen one?” Asked her to turn to the man.

The man simply shrugged and turned to the marshal again.

“So, we have a deal, old man?”

The marshal was reluctant but ended up nodding his head.

“What's going on here?” Asked Evelin. Before she got an answer, a new voice came out from behind the girl.

“Yes,” spoke Guardian Kylex entering the room. “What's going on here? This is an act of treason, Laserfield!”

The guardian’s armor was damaged, but it did not appear that his body was injured. With his sword he advanced against the Agent of Chaos.

Evelin took no action and decided to wait to see the outcome of this fight. It was strange Laserfield to be so friendly with the agent and, in the end, she trusted her marshal.

Both were very good with their blades, the agent defended all the attacks of the guardian, yet had no opening to counterattack. Then he spoke on his communicator on the sleeve of his clothes.

“Norna, I need a little help here.”

The two continued to exchange blows in front of the big window and more and more the agent was at a disadvantage. He lost his balance and got down on his knees in front of the guardian, who prepared the final blow.

The room was taken by a shadow and everyone looked at the red ship blocking the light in the window. From their two wings, two cannons fired lasers destroying the window, much of the room, and obliterating Guardian Kylex.

The other three humans in the room were flung away. The ship turned sideways, opening a door and the man in the ponytail was going there. Yet the marshal called him.

“Wait Sorom. Take this girl; it carries the same feelings as you.”

The invader and Evelin exchanged confused glances. The girl already had her gun targeting the agent again.

“What are you talking about, Marshal? He's a terrorist.”

Laserfield approached limping the girl and the other man waited for their conversation in front of the window.

“Listen to me, Evelin. This man is about to do something amazing and your help would be especially useful. You know how unjust destinies are, they're a curse! But you also saw that he killed two people whose fates didn't materialize. He has the ability to change the world!

Evelin couldn't think about it: he had killed Pardalis and Aiden. On the other hand, she witnessed how he was able to do impossible things. In the end, she turned to the man at the window and asked.

“And what is your plan?”

He opened a snob and confident smile reaching out to her.

“I will kill God. Will you come with me?”

Interlude

Evelin followed down a short corridor behind the man, with her gun still in her hands and prepared to fire. The man in front of her was carefree. Their footsteps echoed with the beating of the metal and quickly began to hear a conversation.

A few more steps and she saw where the voices arose. It was a small room inside the ship. On the left side, several computers with a young man with green hair clicking on keys frantically. On the right side, a small couch with two more men on it. One of them was Golbert Sotark, the huge monster was suturing the wound on the second man.

“You are very clumsy, Gol!” Said the wounded. He was skinny and very pale, completely bald and with burnt eyebrows. The only real member he possessed was his right arm, in which there was a deep cut. The other limbs were skeletal prostheses of a rusty metal, clearly inferior to Pardalis'.

“Am I clumsy?” Asked Golbert, looking less monstrous “You who had your last arm almost cut off by that guardian, Willys.”

As they approached the three men in the room turned around and stared at the armed girl. The ship was already taking off and Evelin concluded that she made a terrible mistake.

“Guys,” announced Sorom. “This is our new member, Evelin. Evelin, this is the leadership of the resistance.”

Immediately Golbert got up and slowly walked toward the girl, who pointed the gun at him, which failed to intimidate the man. As he approached, she was able to see for the first time his green eyes hidden beneath his disheveled hair.

“You shot me the other day.” He spoke, and Evelin could feel the fury in the man. However, unexpectedly he opened a big smile and gave a slight jerk on her shoulder. It was enough for her to lose her balance, but nothing more. “Now we are even. Welcome to the group.”

The girl had no reaction and just waited.

“You already know the Gol.” Continued the leader. “The bald one is Willys, our demolition master, and the one with the green hair is our hacker Dijo.”

Now she could see this Dijo better. His skin was black, and his hair dyed in a very strong and flashy green with a pair of large, technological glasses on her forehead.

“Dude,” Dijo said, referring to the leader very casually, “she is the daughter of guardian Simeht... Are you sure about that?”

“She's as disappointed in the world as we are, isn't that right, Evelin?”

The girl was silent.

“If little boss thinks it's okay, then fine for me.” Willys said.

Evelin was trying to process everything that was going on. They didn't seem to be leaders
