The One True Lesson in Life

Bullets were flying everywhere, just the sound of rifle rapports and flesh exploding all around me. It was weird at one moment everything was quiet, and then the next absolutely chaos (which was hilarious considering who was doing all the dying). I ducked down and put my hands over my head. I mean it wouldn't actually save me or anything, but in moment of extreme terror turtling up like a moron is my standard go to. I couldn't see the aggressors but there had to have been hundreds perhaps thousands of them.  And just as soon as they had arrived the mysterious rifle clad assailants were gone and Chaos's chain legion were gone.

"And now you see the real god in this world." Hanlon had the smile of victory Chaos just sneered, his flesh vibrated and what semblance of normalcy was gone. He was an unhinged monster.

"You have not won Hanlon, Chaos will always be in this world, Order is the wrong state of being, Order is the unnatural part of this world. Chaos will always be here, and with it I have power." It sounded more like trying to talk himself into the belief rather than an actual belief. I should know I've done the same thing about several things in my life.

"Chaos will always be in the world this is true, but you are mistaken in that you will always be in it. You have stepped out of your role, you have become bigger than yourself and you could not shoulder the burden." Hanlon drew his pistol out and shot Chaos right in the head, the creature looked confused for a moment and then fell to the ground. The hole spread from his head and his whole body turned to black ash and then blew away in the wind.

"So you just killed the god of chaos?" Hanlon smiled.

"I had really hoped this would have just worked itself out normally, but no of course I had to get involved. There are times Trezlan I wonder how this world ever got along without me in it." And so ended the war of Chaos, the world hardly knew the danger they were in, like most things it was handeld by people who do those kind of things. It did make me wonder what Hanlon did when he wasn't swinging in give me an opportunity to almost get killed. But like most thought in that vein of things I felt it best to let it go.
