"Fine, what is it?"

The Chaos God slyly said, "Is that any way to get information from someone you attacked?"

Ticked off, I responded, "Do you want me to apologize for hitting the one who LITERALLY kidnapped my soul from my first world and into this dream world?  What even goes on in your brain, do gods even have brains?"

I paused in thought. "Wait... why did I talk to you again... I got side tracked..."

He face palmed before sighing, "You know how to take the fun out of a situation.  Thinking your way out of reality... Maybe you add in fun too, someone who just can't stay on track and tries to find something interesting in a situation is also fun.  So, Ally, do you want to learn some information I usually give the reincarnated souls?"

With an annoyed voice, I said, "You really ask that, really? Really, really?  Is this a rhetorical question?"

He responded cheerily, "Yep, and your reaction made it all worth it.  See, that's the reaction I like seeing.  Back to the point, you should know by now that Misty is a void element little pup and what the ramifications are.  I have an offer, I will give you a few skills of the void element if you don't use them."

His smirk was kind of annoying, but I still responded, "You want me to give them to Misty, don't you?"

He pouted, "You are no fun but yes.  That is what I want you to do, you are her,"Tamer", but if you ever hurt her, you will never be let off..."

He then muttered, "And neither will I."

"You have a deal, but you also will get my permission before you invade my dreams again."

He responded quickly, "Nope, here are the skills, say hi to Misty for me.  These are only for Misty, make sure you don't look at them."

Right after he finished his words, he disappeared.  The hell was up with him, he is weirder than I am, and I admit I am strange.  I looked down at the scrolls in my hands, I wonder why I'm not allowed to examine them?  How are these scrolls going to appear in the real world since I'm in the dream world?

I guess I will try to wake up.  Before I could even try, the floor fell out from below me and I fell into the abyss.  I yelled, "God damn it, god damn it, I blame you chaos gooooooodddddd."

As I woke up startled with sweat covering my body, the scrolls were in my lap.  Seems I woke up Misty, sorry.  "Misty, Chaos God told me to say hi.  He also gave me these scrolls for you."

I still do not understand why they're written on scrolls, there are books here...

When I told Misty that, she perked up and jumped into my arms.  I patted her gently before letting her down to look at the scrolls.  I noticed that her gaze would go there every once in a while so I excused myself to go take a bath.  Once in the bath, I thought back about everything that just happened.

The chaos god was like how I imagined him.  He had a personality that didn't line up, sort of childish, and infuriating.  Something I didn't expect was his only real reason to show up was to mess with me and then help Misty.  My biggest question is what reason brought him the most; I'm not sure it was my existence more than it was Misty's influence.  

Oh, I realized that he didn't promise to get permission before entering my dreams again...  This will be a headache; actually, it might be more of a migraine.  Please let his visit this time be the last while I am in high school.  At least I got a little revenge even if I suspect it didn't hurt him at all.  

It doesn't help that he probably knows far more than he lets on.  He also didn't give me any information at all, that prick.  You mess with me only to give Misty new skills.  Maybe I can make a device that can follow me into my dreams and restrain a god.  Goals aren't bad things to have.

Thinking too much about this will only hurt me, so might as well just relax.  Time to wait for present time today; I wonder what they will think of their gifts.

In my personal garden in my space, I summoned Tina.  "Tina, what should I do with the chaos god? I kinda want to throw him into a volcano, but also want to pick his brain... so I'm at an impasse."

She pondered for a little while before responding, "Why don't you do both? From what you told me, he would probably take the throwing into the volcano as a prank. You just have to remind him that most people die when thrown into a volcano after you do it."

That's a good point; he is a god that relates to Loki the prankster god.  A good way to deal with him may be through jokes.  It is too bad he is a god; most pranks would bore him unless they're done to someone who didn't recognize the joke.

Back to Tina and with a smile, I asked, "So... has our little project been turning out well?"

She smiled also when she responded, "Yes, and to be honest it will only take a couple more months before the first variant plants are done growing, then we can test if they will work.  I still think you are only making this to mess with me, but who cares when I get a new play toy."

Tina is so right, Prankster's Wood gave me an interesting idea.  So I attempted to infuse it with another tree of the lightning variety.  It hopefully will create a natural taser useful for a complete stoppage of an opponent.  It may need some enchanting to make it have more powerful effects, but it is a fun idea, even if it fails.

*************************************************************************************************************************************

When everybody arrived in the afternoon, I started the conversation, "Since none of you know why I brought you here, I may as well ask you to guess."

Tristan asked, "Why Ally?"

I smirked while saying back, "Guess."

Kylie spoke up, "Your cooks find more good foods again?"

I shook my head no.

Rose countered me, "Ally, just get on with it, we know you are happy for some reason, out with it."

I stuck my tongue out, "You're no fun Rose, and yes, I am happy.  You guys remember that I started enchanting in middle school, right?"

They all shook their heads yes, so I continued, "I made a few enchantments on weapons for everyone because I hoped they would help everyone."

I brought them all out of my storage ring; I lined them up and let them see them.  Their faces were fun to watch.  I'm glad they're surprised and that they seem happy.  Rose was ecstatic with her spatial arrow collector, Kylie was wide-eyed when looking at her sword and then had a slight grin when she saw Tristan's sword.  I think she should confess soon, hopefully, to avoid Tristan dating someone else before she gets the chance.

Tristan was also happy with his sword.  Kade was unsure of what to consider it, I'm not entirely sure why.  "Kade is there something wrong with the halberd?"

He responded absentmindedly, "No, it's just that it seems out of place.  I can't put my finger on it, but for some reason, it feels awkward.  Well, it isn't as awkward as my original one.  So I will use it, but when I get an idea of what is missing, can I ask you to enchant it?"

I answered, "Yea, that's no problem, Kade."

Continuing on, "Kylie and Tristan's swords have gravity manipulation as an enchantment.  Rose's arrows have spatial teleportation to allow for automatic retrieval.  Now that this is out of the way, it is dinner time and Ellie is making some amazing food."

Rose just stuck her tongue out at me, but I don't care.  Food is amazing no matter what universe it is... except for teachers...

I asked, "How do you all like your classes?"

Rose answered first, "I actually like my classes, and even if they seem boring they are interesting."

Kylie then answered, "I hate math... like really, why do I need to learn this?  Like, I'm fine with history and government, though.  Magic and swordplay are awesome too."

Kade interjected, "Math is so easy, why are you complaining Kylie.  I also like history, but damn is government boring.  I hope that being the apprentice of the halberd champion will help me."

Tristan broke his silence saying, "I actually like government, though, and economics.  Math is meh, and history is also meh. Swords are awesome.  Duels will also start, so I wonder if we will do well.  I guess Ally will be forced to battle with only magic, though."

That hit a nerve, I responded to the insult, "At least I'm stronger than you with your sword even if I can only use magic.  We will find out during the duels anyways."

With a huff, I stopped talking.  Rose broke the awkward silence, "How about we go swimming to cool off?"

Tristan and Kade both exclaimed, "The hell, you even have a pool here…”

Kade questioned, “Why were we never told?"

Kylie said, "Boys in the girls' dorm without permission, no way."
