Cosmically Bound

Chapter 3. The Stars In Space. (Esmeray)

"Uhm...yeah- totally...you-" I paused trying to recall before I spoke up, "Murdered your siblings...you were the second eldest and yet you were the strongest and chose to keep this galaxy for yourself so you killed off the competitors which were your siblings-, right?" Orbitos scoffed before nodding.

"Yes, that's what happened, but trust me if you met my siblings you would have wanted to kill them as well."

"If you forgot my two elder siblings are at war and me and Nellion aren't a part of the war but are deemed dead, Nellion literally became a nightmare story for little kids and my brother tried to kill me then said 'Whatever I'll kill him later'."

"He lays a hand on you and he's dead" Orbitos cold words shook my mind, and I stared at him as he stared at me, I didn't know what to say since he was a literal god who killed his siblings because he wanted power and ownership. Orbitos never spoke about his parents either which was a little concerning but he had his reasons, I was but a mere mortal he decided to protect, and for what reason? None, he just wanted to. "Oh c'mon don't get all quiet like that. Aren't you glad to have a god to protect you?"

"Yeah but- I still care about my family, even if I act all-manipulative and sadistic whenever I'm with them."

"You acting manipulative and sadistic is something I would pay to see." Orbitos laughed as he threw me back on his back and started to fly again. I blankly stared into space as I remembered how insane I was in the past, it was surprising I didn't turn out like Fellion. If I had... I clenched my fists at the thought, I could be manipulative when I wanted to but it also just made me feel like my stupid creator was strangling me with puppet strings. My 'veins' glowed an array of colours which resembled northern lights despite the fact everything about my design was space-themed. Orbitos noticed and softly wiggled himself trying to get my attention, I snapped back to reality and softly patted his back as I returned to normal.

"I'm fine," I said blankly not wanting to talk about it, he sensed my emotions and rolled his eyes as he slowed down his pace a bit, he knew that the festival wasn't anytime soon so he had no rush. I rolled my eyes and laid back down on him, I needed to calm down and NOT waste my battery level. I wished I could have gotten any other creator other than my own. Nellion always seemed happy with her creator, so why couldn't I have been given her creator instead? But if Nellion lived with my creator she would have been in so much pain like I was, ugh it was annoying to think about the 'What Ifs' I should just forget about it and think about the stars. I stared up and crossed my arms, Orbitos didn't speak to me at all, I didn't know if I was glad he didn't speak or if I was upset that he didn't speak. I took a couple of breaths in and out before I patted Orbitos back, he shifted softly and then did a small loop around a planet before he spoke up.

"The festival is important to me because it reminds me how lucky I was to have siblings in the first place, my sibling's blood and bodies turned into half of these planets, including Earth...and that's why I'm so fond of you. You remind me of my younger sister, she was great company and always supported me. I only chose to kill my siblings after they murdered her 'by mistake'," Orbitos turned his body to look at me as he spoke up again, "And no, none of the planets can see me. I can reveal myself to other people when I want but I much prefer to reveal myself to just you." He said softly, I sighed before speaking.

"I'm sorry for your loss. I had no idea-...I don't want to imagine seeing Nellion dead one day, she's the only sibling of mine that I can stand. I wish she wasn't trapped and seen as a horror story to tell kids...." Orbitos chuckled softly before speaking,

"Well, I'm glad that you at least knew her, if you cared for her it's better you at least spoke to her. Some of my siblings I didn't even know, for example, the eldest brother of mine, I didn't even know his name" I sat up straight and looked at Earth uncomfortably, I sighed before speaking.

"Who's blood am I made out of?" I asked HOPING it wasn't a question I would regret.

"Earth and Pluto are both made out of the sister I told you about, that's why they're my favourite planets," Orbitos said softly as he made a soft turn to approach Pluto. "Luckily, my sister's blood made humans, and all sorts of creatures. Speaking of, you told me humans killed off almost all the fantastic dragons, witches, fairies, and whatnot. So tell me why I SHOULDN'T KILL THEM THIS INSTANT." Orbitos lashed his tail into a floating rock as it started to fly towards another planet, he darted forward and grabbed the rock before it could do any harm and put it back where he hit it.

"Because I'm part human...? I have a human soul...and a human's and human souls are also made of your sister's blood...?" I said a bit unsure. I also hated humans but they provide so much- and witches are just humans with powers, but I also hated witches...well some not all.

"...Fine you outsmarted me. I won't kill humans, but also because it's my job to protect all life on these planets, and stars in this galaxy." Orbitos muttered in a sassy tone as he flew around in circles slowly before he laid down mid-air. I patted his back and sighed,

"We'll be fine, no one can hurt you or me." I laid back down and yawned. Orbitos softly growled in annoyance before he curled his tail around me. I didn't fight it but since he was way larger than me it felt uncomfortable.

"You're not going to sleep, are you?"  Orbitos asked. I grumbled uncomfortably trying to turn away.

"I'm tired...if I have to stay awake to watch the festival then I'd rather sleep right now to save my battery," I grumbled as Orbitos spoke up.

"Fine but be awake at that time." Orbitos held me close as he laid down making sure I slept peacefully.

I stared at the stars and planets for a moment before closing my eyes. Lying on Orbitos's rough scales wasn't the most comfortable thing but it did the trick.
