God Threat (a Zero and Maero RP)

[Maero]

"Then its settled!" she said with a smile. For the next day King spent his time amongst her troops. They all seemed to be good, if not loud, enough people. They sang and drank and ate, practiced combat and shooting, and even helped King get settled, all without caring that he was an outsider or stranger. "Cassandra will bring about the rebellion soon enough! Thats what we're all counting on!" One man told him. "Cassandra has the guts, and the favor to do it! It wont be easy, but we can do it!"

At the end of the day King had been welcomed entirely as one of their own. He was brought to Cassandra's quarters afterward, where she awaited him. she wore a silk gown, the most beautiful thing King had seen in this world, and nothing else. She was sitting at her desk, cleaning her pistols.

"So, have you learned a little something about our world?" she asked him with a smile. When he answered she would continue. "Long ago, the goddess Verra, owned this world, and held it in complete chaos, war, and Rebellion, but despite this, things were not perfect. War, rebellion, chaos, none of it can happen properly under the rule of a god, she realized, and it also does not always mean violence. So the grand rebellion was created."

She looked out her window as she spoke, her eyes elsewhere. "She split herself into four people, four war lords. She declared them heirs to chaos, war, and rebellion, and placed this challenge before them. She created a city, central city, where the her heart lies, hidden in the rubble. If the heart its claimed, the world will rebel against its nature and bring forth ten thousand years of peace. But it can only be found by the true heir, the rebel queen, or king, as it where.

"I am one of the four. I seek the heart, now that only two of us remain. You see, the reason I did not kill Veric when I could have is very simple, I must be the rebel, not the rulers, and so I must rebel against something, him. It was thought, long ago, that when all the others fell, and only one remained, that the heart would reveal itself. But that is a lie, in fact, he or she who rules can never find it, never bring peace, because it is only the rulers or rebels that can hold the heart of rebellion."

She then turned to look at King. "Do you understand now? Why I can not use my powers? Why I can not beat Veric? I must win through rebellion, I must be the underdog, and through that find the heart. No easy task, for when I am close, I gain favor, but at the same time favor gives strength, like you saw, and if I used it all the time, I would rule, and thus fail. Do you understand?"
