Chapter 93

Zuviel
“You have multitudes! Why do you covet *my* line when you have trillions!”
“I was cheated!” He screamed, while we still sat.
“Make a portal for me.” Said ‘father’. “My cake is nearly ready. Be sure to visit.”
I made a portal for the Lord of Time. He knew to leave… Time holds a human shape, and if he dies, so does the fabric of everything…. It is my job to behead him, to restart everything, but now was not that time.
But it might be soon.
“Now that he’s gone.” Arviel stood. “I think it time I send Zumitas.”
“You didn’t even Want your Herald after you saw Apythmenos!” I screamed standing.
“And You wouldn’t even name yours after I made a name better than you!” he accused.
“I was making sure Apythmenos didn’t become a numbered god! No human should worship the soul garbage disposal or a Fucking Rock We Sit On!” I yelled.
The Pit Left…. I did not command him to intercept the Endless Mountain… but I was *right*… 
And Fuck his feelings on it otherwise. I would not have had the Pit be more than a herald.
“This is the Last time I say it nicely before I just take him and strip that nasty demon energy off him.” Arviel said stepping off his pedestal. Down the stairs I went as well, while all our lesser gods cleared the throne room.
“You will kill him.”
“Then I’ll raise him.” He said casually.
“He isn’t just another mortal to bend and break like a FUCKING TOY!” I screamed. The flames on my crown took the light from my side now.
“He is.” He said simply.
But this is the blood of my youngest son. This child is meant to be serving Below with US!
“I WOULD NEVER KILL MY CHILD! THAT YOU EVEN SUGGEST THAT SHOWS YOUR TRUE COLORS!” I pointed. 
“My mate, don’t.” said my mate….
…I did not realize she was Still HERE!
“Stay Out of this Lulliba!” I growled, keeping her safe. He continued his advance as if he really would fight me over my *own* grandson…
He will kill my mate. We marched like soldiers, and I was about to summon my trident, I could see by his hands, his staff was already manifesting.
“Husband stop this!” Yelled Lia, I did not know I was so close to the little earth goddess. I bumped her, and she fell.
And at the same time, Arviel tried to kill my mate! Both goddess fell more or less on each other, but all I saw was red.
“LOOK WHAT YOU’VE DONE!” I instinctively placed her under my direct protection before he could do anything more to her. I told her that I would protect her, as even I could not see within my own magic.
He Will Kill Her.
It is not a matter of If. 
“YOU WOULD HAVE SLIT HER THROAT.” He accused.
“You KNOW I would not do such a thing!” I Yelled
Arviel placed Lia in a bubble as if I’d harm her.
“ENOUGH!” Boomed my eldest son… It made a circle of clear sky between the unnaturally night and light sky with his apperance. Normally, I would be impressed…. “You cannot fight over souls already Bought And Paid For.” 
He is the Judge…. It is his right to interfere… but he should Leave.
“Boy get out the Fucking Way.” Said I said feeling myself change.
I *am* the void. The illusion of being the Night Father was *gone*….
Or was…
My mate was now in a cage of our son’s making. Both Goddesses… and he held out his double-edged blade…
“WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!” We both screamed at the same time. 
“Killing them BOTH, since NEITHER of you deserve such gifts.” Said Xaxas. “If either of you so much as lay a Finger on the other, I will end Both your wives, not that you care.”
“Son…” His harsh words upset her… For her tears I will flay him. A lash for every one.
“I do this for Peace. If there is no Urth, there are no grandchildren to fight over. If there is no Moon, there is no Urth… Do you understand?” He said coldly…. I knew my son… He really would have done it. His sword was already out…. But his eyes held the fear of a child….
He does not fool me… but I was a fool…. I…. I realized I too made the same mistake.
It was *I* who imprisoned her first, in a panic.
“Then I renounce my desire for the boy.” Scoffed Arviel for only bravado. “I will make someone of use.”
“That’s what you’re good at.” Said Lia, refusing to get anywhere near him. “I suppose I am the one to birth it, or do you want another*mortal*.” She hissed, but I could tell she was terrified.
She misunderstood him too… he meant ‘make’ as in actually forge a soul… not make her a concubine.
“I would never.” He said kneeling to her as she was released from her prison. “I did what I did for your safety.”
“For your own ego.” She growled. “For ego and pride! Look at Lulliba!” She pointed.
“Mother forgive me…. It was literally the 1st and most outrageous thing I could think of.”
…. My sweet goddess … I saw her face as she held her knees. Xaxas made his magic transparent… both suffered under our might… but I wronged her.
I knew confinement was her *greatest* fear… more than any punishment… that and darkness.
I did both.
How she trembled at the sight of me. She actually shook, because I was a monster…. It is why I do not reveal myself often…
I do not care whatever was said, or done… once she was released…. She left me.
Lia at least stayed, to be held and consoled… but Lulliba was done. I think this is the only time I didn’t feel our connection… even when he killed her I felt her, since she is a goddess, and we just reform after a time… but she was gone.
I went below, and looked around… her things were no longer in my home, and Grendel’s scent was everywhere.
I tried to go to her gates, and Grendel stopped me.
“Move.” I growled.
“So you will force your way into her sacred grounds?” He demanded. “Will you *make* her love you?!” He growled. “You and your ingrate children can all suck a fat dick!”
“I want to apologize.” I said angrily.
“And she wants nothing to do with You!” He barked. The other wolves… every single one she’d ever made stood with bristled fur on the other side of locked, tarnished gates…
I could literally wave my hand and do as I pleased… but he was right.
“Go Eat A Dick!” Yelled Kaizo, Kaiden’s father. “I Hope it’s the mistress’s Cupcake Flavor!”
*They laughed at me*
I went below while I’m sure they celebrated. They held the line against the depressed Horned One.
Congratu-fucking-lations.
Below I sat in my empty throe room…. But little Tyson was taken to the infirmary. The Herald said nothing to me.
The look he gave me told me to ‘eat shit and die’ but he kneeled at my feet, offering a dry report.
“I’ll take my leave master.” He said leaving before I could say anything. I logged into the clear, floating tablet Eskaal improved.
I gave the Herald paid time off until this is sorted… Everything I’d done was a mistake, but it was also the right course of action for who I was around and what I knew.
All I knew was how to be a monster, and now the only person to teach me otherwise is gone…
And it’s my fault.
