My eyes fluttered open, I blinked as a bright light was thrust in my face, was I dead? I could feel the cold grasp of death on both of my wrists, wait what? I turned my head way from the light and noticed I was chained to the wall, I was a god so why? I felt someone roughly grab my hair and pulled it in their general direction causing me to turn to them, by them I mean a middle aged woman who had a wicked grin on her face, I was very tired... I felt drained of my energy, essence I how called it, I coughed; my throat was parched

"W-w-water..." I said hoarsely

"Huh did you say something?" She leaned forward, if this was a different situation I would have been trying not to stare at her exposed cleavage, maybe a g, who cares? Right now I was planning an escape, if there was one thing I wanted to do it was find amearys and leila and make sure they we're okay, first being told i'm a god and now this, I nodded and my eyes travelled to the pale of water on a kind of stone table covered in runes

"Oooh, you want some water?" She smiled and walked over to the table, picked up the pale and approached me

I reckon I still had some essense left, I'd have to use the water, it'd have to be precise but careful, I didn't want to kill her, while human beings we're dic**, I must have seen thus coming yes?

A few feet away she stopped and let the pale drop

"No" I said

"Oops my mistake" she just kept smiling

"Do you think i'm an idiot, I know you're a god, however weak you are"

"Exactly, i'm a god not a... " I started, my voice rough

"I meant part god or this shouldn't hurt" she slipped on a white glove and picked up a stone

"I'm supposed to be scared of the stone?" I cough

"Not the stone, it's weilder... This stone is a scale... The scale of the~ "

"Dragon that supposedly hurts my kind" I muttered annoyed, why didn't they understand, how could I be evil? Even if I was this thing, do they really think I'd jus destroy a world I had worked hard to create

"Exactly, why don't we have some fun?"

'I have a feeling I wouldn't enjoy this, at all' I thought and sighed deeply, I closed my eyes and waited for the pain to come but it didn't, I opened an eye, the crazy pshyco lay on the floor ssmoking

'Wth?!!!'

"Leila?" I call and as if on que all of the torches but one go out, a hand reaches out from the darkness to grasp it, the hand was pale white, a man stepped forward, his blonde hair went down to his shoulder, a smile graced his lips and he sported a blue suit,  heck his black shoes looked like they cost a lot

"Sorry to the dissapoint" he motioned with his hands and the shackles on my wrists came undone, I dropped to the floor in relief

"Hereclea" he slightly bows and I almost pass out from shock , I would have thought from our brief conversation he would be one of those ugly looking creatures, not the man that had a smile that literally brought this dungeon or cave? Wherever the hell we we're to life

"Any requests?"

"Get me the hell out if here" I say but collapse immediately after

------------------------------------------------------------Leila's PO.

something's just never changed, humanities dipairing doom, mortality rates rising in wars, in the short time she had been a godling, she'd seen it all, why couldn't they just try to be peaceful? Must they fight and die: Leila sighed dejectedly

"I'm telling you humanity has been left unchecked for far too long" Katar, the reaper said again

"You benefit from it most" Variel, deity of home and hearth stated

"Well yes, but you see I'm not the architect here, gyldreod is" katar pointed across the room to gyldreod the deity of war

"Someone has to keep them entertained or they'll riot, blame it all on us" gyldreod shrugged non comittedly

"You are okay with sending millions to their death then?" Ilrune, mother of fertility asked outraged

"Good thing you're there to produce more huh?" Halbar,deity of trickery chuckled

"Ugh why was he even invited" Avalon, lesser deity of air hissed in annoyance, Halbar had played a nasty trick on her once

"Shouldn't we be more fucoeed on the threat level of the prophecy?, it could destroy everything that has been built" Xulgos the diety of knowledge said

"Well of course but there's not much we can do about it now" thorgrin,the deity of courage said

"There's always something to be done" Xulgos replied

"Well do you have a plan?" Norixuis, lesser deity of fire leaned forward in his seat

"None... Yet" Xulgos admitted

"I say we watch the humans destroy themselves and simply start again" Katar grinned wickedly

"katar..." Leila said threathenly

"G-goddess?" Katar stuttered

"you're talking about my creations" leila growled, she didn't appreciate the criticizm especially when eskion had helped her out and now things weren't going smoothly for either of them

"W-what I eh meant was that they are..." Katar paused

"Are what?" Leila narrowed her eyes at him, the entire room was silent, Larak lesser deity of earth and water spoke up

"They're a deviant sub species that does nothing but undermine you"

"I know that" leila sighs again, she was stressing and she knew it, she rubbed her temples in circles

"But I... I know they can change, maybe not now or soon but they'll change"

"You expect too much from them" Larak said

"I agree with Katar, the prophecy; all of it, it doesn't matter, watch them tear themselves apart and start over" Gyldreod said

"So do I" Norixuis said

"and i"Larak said

"Everyone deserves a second chance" variel said

"Even the worst of the worst" ilrune stated

Avalon nodded

Leila stared at variel, maybe she was wrong, maybe it didn't have to be like this, maybe she had reacted too quickly,she had been shoved in a corner and she had reacted poorly, deciding to give up eskion to protect the little she had, maybe larak was right, he would have given everything up for her, she inhales deeply

"Goddess?" Norixuis stared at her In alarm, and she imagined she would too if she saw someone who looked like she did, worn out.

"It's almost time for your eternal sleep to regain your lost energy" xulgos said

"I..." She started when the doors where thrown open, she had turned to vanquish the idiot that wanted to make her headache far worse, and stared at a wide eyed amearys

"Ah it's amearys" halbar smiled

"I. found. him." She said breathlessly

"What?" Leila asked confused

"I found eskion" amearys said, leila stared at her in shock as her heart plummeted through her stomach

'No no no no no...' She kept repeating like a mantra in her head

"Everyone out" she snapped and the deities hurried out of the room

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

"We have to go get him" Amearys said

"Thats-i-i can't"

"You can't be serious??"

"It's mire complicated than you think" Leila ran a hand over her head wiping away sweat

"I don't see how, he needs us, we help him"

"He's not.. He's nit like us"

"So?"

"He's a demon!!, a part demon part god!!! And far more powerful than either of us"

"He would never have left you to suffer alone, demon or not"

"What do you know, he was going to" leila said annoyed

"I..." Amearys sighed

"you will not go down there, okay? Just let me handle this, please?"

"Yh" Amearys looked away

"Thank you" Leila whispered so quietly that amearys wasn't sure if she had really heard anything
