Epic Of Caterpillar

“So Overseers got their limits, huh?” I wondered.

“My idea is that they cannot easily get inside of Universes, even less Dimensions. Perhaps their very existences could threaten to destroy a universe if they get inside. Or there’s a higher power acting up against them. But we know they cannot directly get inside planets, stars, or Galaxies… However, they can still infiltrate inside and break loose if they plan things enough.” Frank said.

“Hmm… It is quite complicated, but convenient for us.” I said with a smile.

“But to get back home we’ll have to get through their territory. If it wasn’t for Chaos we would had been destroyed.” He said.

“Would you had given me to them?” I wondered.

“Maybe…” He said with a smile.

“Ah, you little brat!” I got slightly angry.

“Hahah, I am joking.” He said. “I won’t fall that low.”

We continued flying across the desert as we remained in silence for a while.

“So I heard you died…”

“I did… against my foe back in my world.”

“Huh, then how are you here?”

“Long story short, I was revived through a Summoner that brought me here. The Root, the origin of all things, stores all date in all of existence, so my consciousness was stored there, only to be revived through a summoning.”

“I-Incredible… so that’s a thing, huh?”

“Well yes… I am the living proof of that.”

“So can you tell me about the world and the demon king?”

“Sure, sure…”

Like that, I explained Frank about everything as he nodded and heard everything on detail. In just half an hour, we arrived where we were before some time ago, without finding anybody. However, I called everyone through Fartalk, and we finally meet again past the Valley of Death and into a new zone of the mountain, which road led to the Genie’s Palace, as we called his dungeon which became strange, covered by black vines and forming a weird forest around it.

“Kireina, you’re back!” Luminous cried.

“Kireina-sama!” Eriant said.

“She’s really back…” Ariant sighed in relief.

“You disappeared out of nowhere! Just what was that all about?! I thought you were leaving us without even helping us get Elfina back!” Fiere began reprimanding me.

“Eh? Come on I didn’t had any other option this dude dragged me away!” I complained. “Also don’t go around reprimanding me I am not your daughter or something.”

“I was just worried!” Sighed Fiere, crossing her arms.

“Me too! I was S U P E R worried! I didn’t even knew what was going on and then you were gone…” Brunhild said.

“Okay, sorry, sorry…” I sighed. I hated being sorry for everything, but I didn’t had much of a choice right now, I was being forced by my feeling of guilt.

“Well, everything’s alright now, right? So who’s this guy- Wait he’s the same as before?!” Sol quickly pointed his sword at Frank.

Everyone then pointed their weapons and Luminous suddenly grabbed me with his tail and put me behind his big dragon body, as if protecting me.

“We won’t let you take her away again!” He said furiously, shining light emerging from his golden draconic eyes.

“Wow, wow, wow, okay. Okay, I don’t want to take her now. We just became temporary allies… A lot happened and I was forced here… By her mistake, by the way. So you should blame HER for me being here.” Sighed Frank. “But I am sorry if I scared you before. That’s not… how I usually am. Sorry, really sorry. You’re good people, I can tell by just giving you all a glance.”

“Yeah, trust him. He’s our new party member, his name’s Frank.” I said while presenting him to him and sitting over Luminous left shoulder.

“Frank?” Everyone asked in unison.

“What a lame-ass name, right?” I laughed.

“It’s the name my mother gave me!” Frank angrily barked.

“Okay, sorry…” I sighed. “Kireina’s a lame ass name too.”

“Yeah I was just containing myself from laughing at that name, I mean, “beautiful” in Japanese? Did you name yourself, are you a weeb?” Laughed Frank.

“Nah, it was a bastard named System Master from my world.” I sighed. “He’s just an idiot. But despite our differences, I managed to get him in my side at the end, and his hot daughter as my wife… Damn I miss Astraea…”

“I guess you’ve got a talent for recruiting enemies.” Said Luminous, looking at Frank.

“He’s not really my enemy, and I gave him the stone back too.” I said.

“You did?!” Everyone looked at me as if I had gone insane.

“But that stone was so overpowered!” Brunhild said. “We could had gotten stronger with its power, right? I was thinking I could make Cosmic Magic or something…”

“I remember he said something about that stone belonging to his soul or something?” Asked Sol.

“Well yeah…” Frank said. “Let’s just explain one another’s circumstances instead of just asking things here and there.”

Like that, we spent the next twenty minutes having a meal with Frank while we talked to one another, explaining the circumstances of our predicament, the world we were in, and everything else. Frank also gave a small roundabout about what happened when he tried to go away, and also who he truly was, telling them he was half-overseer and all… we even had to explain them what Overseers were.

“This Universe is so vast…” Luminous, the only one that actually was able to understand things, ended feeling depressed and dispirited by understanding and realizing the vastness of creation and how pointless one’s life feels.

“I barely understood a thing but I’ll leave it in that you’re an alien and you’re a good person at the end.” Brunhild said with a smile. “Can you teach me cosmic magic?”

“Sure.” Frank shrugged.

“Yaaay!” Brunhild celebrated. Despite her size, she was actually a teenager so it was normal for her to act childish sometimes. She was rather cute to be honest.
