Chapter 60
Aeschylus once said, “In war, truth is the first casualty."
“Secrets have a way of coming out, nothing remains secret for long” Athena mutters as she sweeps past us.
“Remember it’s all in the lips” Athan says as he follows Athena out the room.
“You mean hips” Erebus says
“Nope lips” Athan says whilst licking his lips
“Bahahaha I get it, he says lips because he sucks blood” Tennessee says while bursting out laughing like a complete loon.
“I am going to steal that one” Dom says
“Let’s get this done little one” Lycus says while following the others outside.
“What do you think? Ten maybe fifteen minutes worth of fighting?” Archon asks as he joins the rest of us outside.
“Fifteen darling” Shakti says
“Ooh I am going to catch me a handsome” Bride singsongs as she lines up with everyone else.
“Really how can you think about getting dick at a time like this” Aibelle mutters as she walks towards the group.
“There is never a time not to think about dick” Bride replies
“Amen little goddess” Tennessee says raising his hand for a fist bump.
“Y..You like dick?” London gaps out whilst laughing.
“Tennessee, why didn’t you tell us?” Tito says whilst trying to keep a straight face.
“What? No that isn’t what I meant. I mean seriously I didn’t.” Tennessee grumbles.
While everyone laughs and makes fun of Tennessee, I look around the room and turn back to the King for one last look.
“You realise that you deserve to die right?” We mutter to the king.
“Y..ou have to understand that the Queen has lost her way, she wasn’t always like this. She was nice once and over time she suffered and that caused her to change” the King whispers.
“I really don’t care, everyone at one time suffers you don’t see the rest of us carrying one and plotting the murder of everyone else, you don’t see those that suffer, off killing and mistreating everyone else just to prove they are better. There is no excuse and the fact that you are here trying to make excuses for someone that killed your fated mate makes me sick.
Did you ever regret taking part in trying to kill off my species? Did you regret any of what you did? How could you, being a Phoenix yourself. Your Phoenix must have hated you so much, the pain and suffering that you caused is something that you should feel tenfold. I hope that you don’t ever get a chance to be re-born as another. I hope that when your super leaves that your life whatever is rest of your life in full pain knowing that your actions caused pain for many others.” I snarl as I look at the King.
“You, you are a fated mate to my son. A phoenix is a fated mate and he is the next in line to be King. Doesn’t this make you happy that the gods and goddesses have managed to get you back to a throne” The King growls at me.
“They didn’t do anything, nature took its course, and I am getting back what is rightfully mine. As for the fated mate, we haven’t decided whether or not we will accept Caleb and quite frankly it doesn’t look good for him that you are his father” I mutter back to the King.
I watch as the King’s face falls and goes deathly white. It was almost like he didn’t expect that I would be so harsh in dealing with a fated mate.
“You, you can’t do that he is your fated mate” The King growls trying to drag his dying body upright.
“You see that is where you are wrong. We can do anything that we want and if that means that we reject Caleb then that is what we will do. I am also sure that the gods and goddesses will understand where we are coming from as well” I say while looking the King in the eyes.
“Bu..but that can’t happen” The King gasps
“It can” I reply
Giving the king one last look, I finally see what power has done to someone that doesn’t deserve it.
“This is the end of the road you traitor, I set your Phoenix free of this painful prison that he has be kept in and I wish him a safe passing through the fires of rebirth. As for you, I hope that rebirth does not happen and that your soul will remain in the underworld until such time as hell itself freezes over” Nix voice fires out of my mouth with such authority. I watch as a passenger as Nix takes control of my body and sentences the King to death. He doesn’t cry or make any sound as his super is taken from his body. The other dies and disappears in black smoke while the orange and yellow fire continues to glow beside the couch where the King was just laying.
“Thankyou, my Queen. I have been trying to let go for a long time, but he somehow never let it happen. Now I am free, and I can join my family in the realm. I wish you godspeed and please be careful as the Queen is someone that you know quite well, and she will stop at nothing to get you back even if that means killing your other and forcing you into her body.” The Phoenix mutters
In a bright burst of light, the phoenix disappears.
“What do you think that she meant Nix?” I ask as I move cautiously towards the front of our mind.
“I am not sure, but I guess there are more surprises headed our way” Nix mutters
“Of course there is” I snap back.
“Life is full of mystery little one” Nix replies with a laugh
“Less mystery and more open and honest behaviour would be good.” I say.
“Where is the fun in that” Nix responds.
“Hey Hen, you ready to kick some ass?” Tennessee calls as he sticks his head through the front door.
“Yeah” I call.
“Oh, did the king die? Bugger I was hoping to put my fist through his face” Tennessee whines as he turns and walks back out the door.
