"Congratulations, Avea!"

A momentary confusion can be seen in his eyes for a second. Deep down, though, he expected this kind of surprise considering the feats he had just accomplished.

Soon after, everyone started flocking to his position. From all around him, he can hear different questions and inquiries about his universe and his achievements. Some of the questions he understood were:

"How did you manage to avoid intergalactic war against your different species?!"

"How did you easily get through evolution stages without major sentient extinction? I couldn't even get past an extinction event without restarting cause there's no life left!"

"Have you got any tips for any would-be that would like to do what you've just done?"

Some of them sympathized with his creations:

"Come on, why'd you have to do that to those poor Xlactaars!"

"You took gracti revolutions too far, dude!"

"Haqaari deserved more!"

As he heard some of those who expressed their sympathy to his creations, He thought:

'Like, c'mon. Mind your universe. I just did what is good for mine!'

Some of them, whom he knew and is close to, was shouting:

"Hey! Let's go grab a drink sometime!"

"Avea! Let's eat!"

"Oh, he's a snub now that he's popular!"

He smiled as he heard his close friend's teasing.

The commotion went on for several more seconds until someone shouted from the back: "Hey, y'all! give way!"

The voice sounded like it was amplified. As soon as everyone heard that, everyone quickly gave way.

The source of the voice was a small one, as in he's literally tiny. Surprising because his voice sounded like he's a large, burly old man who can easily throw a boulder. He's a small, baby-faced entity who's wearing a toga, like everyone else. What sets him apart is that his toga is outlined with red.

The entity kept walking towards Avea. While the entity's walking towards him, you can hear others say: "Good work today, Aaron!" or "Aaron's Here!". The entity seemed quite popular. Of course, Avea knows him too.

"Hey, Aaron. Still sulking, I see." Said Avea as soon as the entity arrived in front of him.

The entity known as Aaron responded, "Do I really look sulky?" while touching his face.

"Would it hurt you to try smiling for once?" Avea playfully replied.

Aaron tried to smile. But instead of looking happy, He looked like a creepy child smiling before slicing your throat. It gave Avea a slight chill in the back.

"You know what, sulky is fine." Avea corrected himself.

"By the way, What are you doing here? You have a busy schedule, right?" Avea continued.

"Oh, right. The Elysium sent me to deliver a letter to you." Aaron answered. He reached inside his toga and pulled a letter. He then handed it over to Avea.

The crowd surrounding them began murmuring loudly. The only time the Elysium would send someone to deliver a letter is when someone was given an audience to the Council of Ten. That's why it caused such a commotion.

Upon noticing the loud murmurs, Aaron took a stance and shouted: "Don't y'all have anything better to do like, I don't know, developing your fucking universes!"

The voice sounded amplified just like before, causing the crowd to quickly disperse.

"You don't have to be so rough." Said Avea.

"Nah, don't worry about it." Aaron Replied. He then looked straight into Avea's eyes. and said: "You better not mess that up!" while pointing at the letter.

"Who do you think I am, a troublemaker?" Avea jokingly replied.

Aaron just looked at Avea. As if implying that he's the very definition of trouble. He then followed with: "I know you too well. You do things for 'fun,' right?"

"I got it. I'll do this properly myself, ok?" Avea Replied.

"I wonder..." Said Aaron while looking at Avea with doubt.

"I gotta go now. I still have a lot to do, unlike you." Aaron continued while walking away. But before he got far, he looked back at Avea and shouted: "Having free time doesn't mean you are free to mess with others!"

"Just go!" Avea shouted back.

Avea was left with his own, with no sign of the commotion that just happened.

"Might as well return home and relax while reading this." He murmured while looking at the letter.

He went home soon after.
