“What do you mean?” Luna asked.
Archimedes merely repeated what he had said.
“You can’t be serious though,” Luna said.
“I do not kid about that sort of thing.” Archimedes said. “The young lord is repulsed by the mere mention of her. We have come to feel that this is because he is afraid of her.”
“Afraid of her?” Luna asked feeling the shock course through her. “Why would that creature be afraid of her?”
“Because of the possible future he could have.” Archimedes said.
“A possible future she could have?” Luna repeated that as if she was trying to understand that herself. “What does that mean exactly?”
“Have you not heard of the legend of the one who opposes the dragon?” Archimedes said.
“The Dragon?” Luna said. “Surely you can’t mean THE dragon.”
“Yes, that very same one,” Archimedes said.
The legend of the Dragon was something that Andromeda had heard since she was a little girl. It was from even before that, the thought that Archimedes had any attention on it at all is something to be of note.
The fact that apparently even the young master as Archimedes called him also held merit was something of note. Why would a legend affect someone of that sort? Why would that occur? Especially to the point where Adam and ditched his sister just because of this legend.
It was said that the Dragon would be opposed by a fair kin who is of his own blood. It would be thanks to this opposition it will bring the fall of the Dragon before he brings forth the Kaliyuga. There were other legends, others that said that the Dragon will succeed because she never fully gets into power to stop him.

“The Lizard has my father?!” I asked shocked.
“Oh yeah and he was trying to get the information about the Brotherhood,” Hanuman said, and I sighed heavily about that.
“And you didn’t bother to tell me?” I asked
“You never asked,” Hanuman shrugged.
“Fine,” I sighed again. He did have a point. “There is still one thing I don’t get how did the Lizard get to my world?”
“Your world had one of the Zerkalo Aaenas that are floating around all over the place.” Hanuman said. “You friend Da’Mon must have found a way to activate it and that summoned the lizard to your planet. They must have used something that caused it to streamline the way that it did, maybe a fragment of the Brotherhood or something.”
“I thought you said you were omniscient,” I said.
“I also told you that it does not account for self-determined individuation.” Hanuman said. “Like I still don’t understand your deal with that damn Bullberry bush. I mean I explained to the other i***t usually that white stuff that comes out of you, it’s supposed to go into a girl and not a toilet, or in your case a Bullberry bush.”
“Shut up!” I growled.
“Geeze don’t get all huffy,” Hanuman said. “I guess I should call you Old Huff and Puff Junior or something seeing how you act most of the time.”
“But what is the point of all of that?” I asked.
“You guys can do whatever the hell you please and I can’t necessarily know what you are going to do.” Hanuman said. “I can see the probable ways you can go about doing stuff. Like right now you could decide to punch me in the face or kick me in the gonads or try to pick me up again only to realize you can’t, or you can pull a Wolverine and decide to claw me to death.”
“A wolver-what?” I asked.
“Krishna, of all the things I said that was what stood out to you?” Hanuman asked. “Just goes to show the order of importance you have, and where you have your mind. I just told you the reason why the Lizard went to your planet, the reason why he was after Lacia D’Opidium, the reason he employed that dork, and explained to you how your friend there is from another universe, and the thing you pay attention to is a guy with metal claws…you lesser beings I swear.”
Hanuman sighed heavily.
“Sometimes I wonder if it was better that I would just allow the i***t of Shiva to destroy everything, but you see I can’t just let that happen, I can’t just left that i***t destroy everything, I am too responsible to allow that to happen. Why do you think I stopped that i***t in the first place?” Hanuman asked. “Complacent idiots were going around left right and center seeing what he was doing, seeing the destruction this i***t was causing and guess what? Nobody cared!”
“I was the one who said something, I was the one who saw what he was really doing, I was the one who dared oppose him when everyone was just going Ladee La, he’s god of destruction he is supposed to destroy things.” Hanuman said. “I cannot stand idly by and just let that fucker go around f*****g try to wipe everything and anything, just because he is supposed to be a destroyer. That is utterly psychotic.”
“Your stubbornness is what had made me look for you after all this time of all the damn people that I knew in my ancient life you were the only person who aside for myself who saw the truth about that Genocidal Maniac. You opposed him because you were too damn stubborn, you still oppose him because of that. That is why for lifetimes now I have gone out of my way to help you out to stop that i***t BECAUSE I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!”
Hanuman stopped his rant, he sighed and waited there as if he was waiting or me to say something. In all seriousness I had never been scolded like this before. It was as if I was the only person in the whole world that he was talking to, and he was very disappointed with me and that made me feel bad.
“So, now that I got that off my chest, I could not take this i***t down on my own all those eons ago. When I killed his first Avatar with this mace, I knew that that was going to free his spirit from that Avatar, and it took me a long time to find him. I suppose that you can see it too. I know you can see it too can’t you? That guy going around preaching about Shiva.”
“He is either Shiva himself or maybe he is Ganesha, trying to bring Shiva here.” Hanuman said. “I have not been able to find Lord Vishnu, he is too lost in the sea of one of the many universes until he will return to eradicate Shiva once and for all, but I will be for damn sure I will do everything in my damn power to stop him from even destroying one universe or one sector of the universe. Why? Because when Lord Vishnu returns I want to be able to look him in the eye and tell him, ‘My Lord I protected the universes in your stead.’ The question is will you stand against Shiva?”
I stood there looking at Hanuman. I think it was the first time I was starting to realize this being was much more than just an annoying monkey creature. He was an incredible being that seemed to have the weight of all the universes on his shoulders. I finally began to respect that.
“Let’s stop that asshole.” I said.
