Chapter 102 - The past
As Shakti, moves to stand and face the large group of people she takes a deep breath before mustering a smile.
“Good morning, I would like to borrow some of your time this morning, before we leave to go about our daily lives. I know that you are all busy and I would firstly wish to thank you for taking up the slack that me being here has created.
I am not good at this and I have no experience, I hesitated going to the classes and training as I am not good with either of those things and I didn’t want everyone to know that. But as Archon has graciously forgiven this about me, I feel that it is only right that I apologise to you all and hope that you can understand that I am truly sorry and it breaks my heart that there are gods and goddesses here that don’t like me because of my short comings.
I grew up in a very sheltered life and my mother was a ghoul, she was always making me study as this was something that I struggled with it was her form of punishment for me so I have been resistant to studying. If I didn’t pass her test, she would hurt me and that is why I am scared of training and patrolling. But I would like to say that I have just asked Lycus who works tirelessly on the patrols to allow me to join as of tomorrow. I hope that you will be kind and understanding that this will be hard for me.
I would also like to toast the following so if you could all raise your glasses of ambrosia?
To the Old King and Queen, may the forever rest together in the neither and for them to someday meet again and live the life that they were always meant to have. To have them gone so quick is a brutal punch in the stomach and I am sure that you are all sad so to the Old King and Queen may you always be together.” Shakti, says while raising her glass.
“To the old king and Queen” rings out throughout the hall and everyone takes a drink of their ambrosia.
“Thank you Shakti, that was beautiful” Archon says as he pulls Shakti, into his arms and gives her a long, tight hug.
“I am sorry and I will try and do better, please be patient. I also think that we should wait to get married” Shakti says sadly.
“What?” Archon says as he pulls back from their hug.
“I think we should wait to get married or maybe not marry at all” Shakti says as she looks out over the group of people.
“To the new King and Queen” Phoebe yells from the back of the room.
“To the New King and Queen” the people cheer while taking another glass of ambrosia
As everyone drinks down the second glass, the room starts to become more lively, more toasts are offered and celebrated. As the chime sounds to begin the day all the amborisa with the potion in is gone and everyone has become altered.
“Let marry now” Archon says loudly.
The cheers grow and Shakti pastes a fake smile on her face as she looks at the Archon and the others around them.
“I think that it would be better if we waited so that we can make sure everyone is happy with this decision” Shakti says as she makes a point to look at Archon’s friends.
“There is going to be a wedding” Athan screams out like a girl.
“Oh, Shakti, you are going to look amazing” Hekate gushes as she walks towards her and takes her arm.
“Let get organised” Erebus says as he turns and starts issuing instructions.
“Everyone todays, training and classes are on hold as Shakti and I are going to marry” Archon says loudly.
“Everyone shouts and moves from the room to get ready for the wedding. Phoebe smiles as each and every god and goddess pass with a huge smile on their face.
“A wedding” Erebus says as he walks past Phoebe.
“This is an amazing day” Lycus agrees with a large smile.
“I will head to the kitchen and make sure the food is being made if that is, ok?” Phoebe says as Erebus and Lycus walk past her.
“Amazing thanks little bird” Athan says as he comes up behind them.
“Ok, lets get this party going” Daimon says as he walks past their little group.
As everyone rushes around getting ready for the wedding, it is Phoebe that is in the kitchen putting her potion into all the food that comes from the cooks. When the cake finally has the potion Phoebe moves onto the hall spritzing flowers with her potions that when she is done, she can barely breathe from the strong sent of it all. But to anyone else this will just smell like the flowers are fragrant and nothing will be admis.
“Time for the wedding of the year.” Phoebe mumbles under her breath as she gives the room once last spray.
“Phoebe, is this room ready for guest?” Athena asks as she walks towards Phoebe.
“Yes, it is ready. Why must you try and take what is mine. I swear Athena, I will complain to Archon if you keep this attitude up” Phoebe growls as she turns and walks from the room.
“But…..I was only trying…..” Athena says as Phoebe snaps around and growls at Athena.
“Just shut your mouth”
“Phoebe, Athena. Aren’t you both looking outstanding today” Helios says with a large smile.
“Oh, Helios thank you. I have tried so hard to get this sorted but Athena is being a little difficult.” Phoebe says sadly.
“Oh” Helios says as he looks at Athena and then at Phoebe.
“I would like to ask you something” Helios says
“You can ask me anything” Phoebe replies with a light chuckle.
“Athena, will you be my date for today” Helios says just as Phoebe responds
“Yes”
“Oh, me? Why?” Athena mumbles as she looks at Phoebe and sees her pissed off look.
“Because you are my fated mate” Helios says as the doors to the room open and gods and goddesses behind give a loud gasp and start cheering. All except Shakti and Phoebe as they continue to glare at Athena.
