Chapter 103

The wedding of Archon and Shakti, becomes a party that isn’t solely about them anymore. Shakti seethes as she watches Archon tell everyone that today is for Helios and Athena and that after they marry that him and Shakti will take their place. Shakti gets angrier and angrier as she watches what should have been her special day get overshadowed by Athena and Helios.
Phoebe sits beside Shakti, mumbling and muttering about how much she hates Athena and that she was going to make her pay.
“This is amazing” Archon says as he leans towards Shakti with a bright smile.
“I know, who would have thought that Helios and Athena would find out today of all days that they are fated mates” Shakti says with a tight smile.
“Oh, Helios has know for months now but when Phoebe was promoted straight away to the Queen of the birds Helios knew how much it hurt Athena so he told us all that he was going to wait for the right moment to make her his and I guess today with our good news he couldn’t wait anymore” Archon says with a small laugh as he turns back to the alter and smiles brightly as they profess their love and seal their lives together.
“What are they doing?” Shakti says as she watches with a small amount of horror as she listens to the words that Helios just spoke.
“Sealing their lives” Archon says like a small child on Christmas morning.
“What?” Shakti gasps out.
“Listen” Archon replies.
“I Athena, hereby give you my life line that should you every require this sacrifice that you are more than willing to take it. I will stand beside you and fight for you, I will also stand and fight with you and protect you should you need. My love and heart are yours for now until the end and should death claim us, we will be together in the neither realm until we are reborn to be together again” Athena says sweetly
“So what does that mean” Shakti says loudly as everyone is cheering.
“It means that should Helios ever get into trouble and in the fear of that trouble coming for Athena then he will take her life into him and fight to eliminate any and all threats before passing to the neither realm to be with her again” Archon says as he stands when everyone else does and claps loudly.
“Is that a requirement of the marriage?” Shakti says as she still looks at the happy couple now kissing.
“Yes and no, our is already there that happened with I by passed mother and gave you access here. That is why I said that if you chose not to do the training and classes that we would go to the super realm and live there as I can’t live without you and vice versa.” Archon says as he turns to pat Shakti on the head before moving towards the alter.
“Everyone, while this day has been made more special I would like to congratulate Athena and Helios and I have also asked Athena earlier this morning if she would take over the vice goddess role of the birds so that they will now have Phoebe and Athena. Athena hesitantly said yes and she will now be working with the bird species on a more one on one basis and Phoebe and Athena will now lead together as of today. New times and special tidings.” Archon calls as everyone claps and gives shouts of congratulations.
“WHAT!” Phoebe screams as everyone continues to shout out.
“What are we going to do?” Shakti says as she too glares at Athena and Helios.
“We need to make Athena pay and Helios.” Phoebe mutters as she disappears from the room.
“Nice, you stupid bitch. You go and plot your revenge and I will stay here and see if I can find out whatever else Archon has done behind my back” Shakti mutters as she glares at the happy couple.
“What do you mean?” Lycus asks as he comes to stand beside Shakti giving her a questioning look.
“What? Oh goodness you scared me Lycus. Where were you lurking” Shakti says with a laugh.
“Here and there, can’t find out if the people are truly happy without lurking as you say” Lycus replies with a wolfish grin.
“No I suppose not” Shakti says as she looks around the room.
“So, what did Archon do behind you back” Lycus asks as he continues to stare at Shakti.
“Oh, I mean the wedding silly” Shakti says with a laugh.
“Mm, excuse me. They are calling for the gods and goddess for the hall portrait” Lycus says as he walks up the stairs and pats Helios on the back while giving Athena a big hug.
Shakti, makes her way up the stairs as well but as she moves to cross in front of the group the portrait artist yells out
“Get out of the way.”
“What I am meant to be in this portrait as well” Shakti says as she turns her death stare onto the artist.
“No” the artist yells
“What?” Shakti mutters as she looks up at Archon.
But Archon is looking at a new goddess that has just arrived. As she turns to continue making her way towards Archon and woman Phoebe pops in beside her.
“We have a problem” Phoebe mutters as she follows Shakti’s eyeline.
“Yes we do” Shakti responds
“Oh shit” Phoebe mutters
“Who is that?” Shakti, snaps as she turns her death glare onto Phoebe.
“Argh…. Well?” Phoebe stutters
“WHO. IS. THAT!” Shakti yells
“The new goddess of the Fae she will be working closely with Bride when she returns later this week. She is also really good friends with Athena and Hekate and she is also Archon’s ……” Phoebe says but stops as Shakti, starts to shake and vibrate.
“Wh….” Pheobe says before a massive burst of power hits everyone in the hall and gods and goddess blow back from the power of the burst of energy that shakti just released.
As the groans and cries subside Archon can be heard yelling asking if people are alright. As Shakti, sits up she looks up as Archon pulls the new goddess into his arms and gives her a check over.
“Are you ok Aibelle?” Archon asks softly
“Yes, are you?” Aibelle asks as she runs her hands over Archon.
“I am fine but I need to make sure our people are, ok?” Archon says as he grips Aibelle’s hand and moves down what was once the stairs of the alter.
“What happened?” Erebus mutters as he comes to stand with Archon
“Did any one get the name of the truck that just hit me?” Athan mutters
“Ouch” Hekate cries as she pushes a giant chunk of marble off of her.
“What the hell?” Daimon growls as he tries to remove the dust from his suit.
“Are we under attack?” Lycus growls through the mind link.
