Cherreads

Chapter 23 - Neither desire 'Obsession' Nor 'Greed'

When one attains true wisdom...,One becomes unbounded and further classified...

Instead of being bound to something, it releases itself from that point and goes to search a purpose in the realm and choses to serve non. For an example: Attaining Buddhahood and being freed from a cycle and going beyond a concept.

"Now, I suppose that doesn't apply to you" said Mimir in a sudden changing tone. 'I mean, someone in this world must have that kind of umm purpose, right?' asked Monsieur in a confused tone. "Are you joking? I mean, I am sure that in the realm of mortals there must be countless stories about it to" said Mimir in a questioning tone.

"Tell me one" asked Mimir.

"Hmm, I do remember a story where a monkey became a god and fought every single god" said Monsieur. "Well, that's quite absurd ha-ha" said Mimir. How could a monkey possible be a- but suddenly Mimir realizes something very important, "Wait...

Mimir questioned Monsieur if the monkey which he talks right now is from a myth and cultures. Mimir also asks Monsieur if the monkey which they are talking right now is from Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hinduism, Buddhism. Monsieur asks Mimir about how he knew, but Mimir simply stays silent for a blink second and starts to talk...

Lad, the monkey which you so carelessly talked about really exists and it is not something to take lightly. Monsieur asks -why- but Mimir tells Monsieur that the monkey has no bound to this world and it has attained perfection. Mimir -speaks- The monkey has travelled through many lands and it has fought many things. Mimir was about to tell more about the myth but then suddenly the door opens in a rough way and both Mimir and Monsieur looks at the door and both of them see Asterion carrying a unknown girl at his shoulders.

Monsieur and Mimir remain silent and watches the old man put the girl at the floor.

Monsieur starts to whisper Mimir- Hey Mimir, whose that girl over there?. 'Well', judging by her appearance and that marks which you can call tattoos, she is a spy from the asgardian. Monsieur gets shocked and questions Mimir about why would Odin send a spy but Mimir interrupts and says that he didn't meant all asgard but a specific person.

I don't understand a thing. Oh lad, the specific person which I am telling you right now is no other than the trickster god loki~. Why are you whispering at me so slowly Mimir?. It's because...

Loki is the son of Asterion-

<----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->

The girl wakes up and sees the scary aura of the old man and she quickly gets scared and afraid.

Are you afraid of me? If you were this afraid, why did you intend to even spy on me?. The girl was about to speak but the old man says that he knows, I know it was not out of your own will and you were sent to a mission which is impossible. To say it simple, you were sent to perish.

The lady starts to speak- I..... I WAS SENT BY~ bbb by LO- then suddenly a green and foggy light emits at her throat and he dies in the spot.

Monsieur gets scared and asks Mimir about it and Mimir speaks-

"Its"-bound magic. To simply say, Its a magic which makes a vow to the person who casted it and if the vow is broken. 'Then the victim who was given the vow will die in spot' said Asterion.

Asterion cuts his finger and then drops his blood at the corpse of the lady and then suddenly the lady returns back to life and then she panics and she questions about what happened to her. Asterion does not waste time and then asks the lady to tell him who sent her and when the girl was about to speak, slowly her body disintegrated which made Asterion shocked and speechless.

Monsieur asks about it but Asterion simply says that it is a 'blood ritual which is combined with the vow'. Monsieur does not understand what Asterion was saying but Mimir simply tells Monsieur that he has a long road to venture and it is expected for Monsieur to not know something this complex.

It's not only complex but also brutality-said Asterion. But that was to be expected from the depths of Asgard. So that means there is nothing left now? questioned Monsieur. Asterion explains that he could bring the girl back to life but doing that will break the rules of reality and the concept of death, so he will not bring the girl back. Plus, -I suppose that Asterion already figured out who that person might be- said Mimir in the middle of the conversation-.

Monsieur wanted to ask some questions but the old man tells them that it is time to go which made Monsieur puzzled and lost in thoughts . . .

"It's time to go"

<--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->

At the realm of Time itself.

The guardian of Time was reviewing the timelines of each world's but then out of no-where, a portal opens and we can see that Asterion was carrying Monsieur in his back and Mimir was at his waist. The time watcher looks eye to eye at Asterion and takes a big *sigh*.

What brings you here, Slayer. I told you not to call me by that name-said Asterion. Asterion doesn't waste any time and tells the Time watcher to heal this child. I thought I told you that I can't do that? I mean after all I am just a Time Wat-, cut the bullshit's. I know you well dammit say what - what?! Should I increase your work more?. But how can you simply make the rules around slayer? I will make you hold the existence at your back and maybe after that you can ask me about it.

Asterion continues to speak more in a serious tone and Asterion knows that the time watcher is simply hiding his powers so that his powers can never be misused but incases of Asterion..... that is not. 'Okay! Okay!' chill out now, I will do it but it will take some time. Monsieur asks question about what he meant by some times but Asterion ignores the question and puts Monsieur in the "Pond Of Reality"[1]-The dimension where most of the existence are put together and re-created

'I suppose life sure is SHIT' said Monsieur in a depressed and sad tone. Monsieur starts to feel the power of the pond and then he exhausts himself totally and he loses his consciousness and his body only floats at the vast space.

As Asterion and the Time watcher continues to talk, Mimir sees the environment which he is currently in from the waist of Asterion which is hard to express but Mimir does not get bothered since he has adapted to the new world. The lands.... no is it water?.... or no is this space?-Mimir questions. mimir looks up and sees nothing but space and when he looks straight he sees nothing but absolute calmness. Mimir gets quite pleased and then Mimir takes a deep relief and then closes his eyes and then takes a resting sleep for a bit. 

As Monsieur continue to fall through the calmness, he experiences the state where his body, mind, sould, thoughts stop over-processing and he simply achieves a state of 'Calm'. The Time watcher also senses the change and then asks Asterion if that boy is close to him and Asterion simply says no in a direct tone without any hesitation which caught the time keeper off-guard. He is the child of the lady who I talked about. The time watcher nods his head for a second and then when he realizes he starts coughing and then asks Asterion if the things which he just said is true which Asterion simply says 'yes'.

That explains why the boy managed to enter the state-Dead Calm- expressed the time watcher.

"I know that you will ask what it is so let me explain it, the state "Dead Calm" signifies the unconnected connection between the reality and the space itself. This state can only be acquired if one has left all his thoughts and desires and his obsessions and emotions and every single virtue. Now, either the child has no obsession, or the child is wiser than a god," said the watcher.

It's definitely the first one- said Asterion

How long will this take? asked Asterion. About couple of centuries I suppose.

-------------------------------------------

After a while.....

-------------------------------------------

It has been time-

It has been Eon's

It has been in development, and in its foundation

Time doesn't wait-

We make time wait~

--------------------------------------------

Monsieur continues to flow in the state of nothingness and absolute NON. The faithful watcher was told that do not anyone come near him and make sure that no one is a suspect in wicked things. The main reason of why this was said to the watcher is because of the incident which happened with the child of human (Shin) and he was unexpectedly killed in the spot without any questions.

The old man requests the time watcher to protect the child from the wicked and suspicious behavioral activities, and he requested to make the trail short and quick.

About the trial-

The trial which old man's talking about is that Monsieur must face something absolutely different and unknown which he will never expect to happen.

The old man then goes to a specific place where he has important works to finish, so he takes his leave from the Time realm and then he ventures through the land of the Jōmon Sugi (縄文杉).

[At a random bar near Asgard]

Ladies! oh and gentlemens!, I suppose ITS TIME!! H E H E!

There are no ladies you idiot, plus the one who is hearing this is only me-the unlucky one-'said Baldr's. '

You always despise me don't you Baldur!?. Of course since that is not even a question. So your really going then... 'I hope you die' said Baldur in a whispering tone. You don't have to whisper Baldur! since I won't die to. Plus I have a amazing idea...

It's up to you asswhole, If you mess up one last time then the All-Father won't show any mercy this time. Ohhhh justt...DOO YOUR OWN THING AND GET OUT ALREADYY.

Baldur drinks last of his wine and then goes off the bar and then shouts to loki in the back that he is a 'Asshole'. Loki gets irritated but continues to drink his wine and after he finished drinking. He opened a mysterious green portal and went inside and travelled through a different realm-

*Possibly where Monsieur is staying or near??*

The time watcher senses a mysterious aura, and he is quickly aware of it. He quickly goes and checks how Monsieur's progress is, and he senses that he is almost ready...

The time watcher then heads on to the mysterious person and then stalls time until Monsieur is complete.

(He is absolutely sure that Monsieur will be done until he stall the time)

"Now, the real problem is."

"How can I distract this fool..."

[1] This dimension is only one of the realities in the WHOLE existence and there are realm's which are not bound to the existence and further more. The cycle and the tree of reality is small but the things outside is far difficult to comprehend.
