CH75 Third sign of trouble

Damon was pacing the living room as took off my shoes,
"What happened? Where have you been?" Damon asked me as he held me by my shoulders I explained everything to him, Dylan was there too, I sat on the sofa to read through the book, I found information about their planet, Ahebos, Ahebos is a planet that is in a different galaxy, a prison galaxy, a galaxy where criminals are sent after they are deemed to dangerous to be allowed to live on any planet. I groaned, I was so frustrated, a witch, one of my own children, allowed the worst criminals to come here, to Earth, why? What could the reason possibly be? 'When I find them they will die', I promised myself as I rubbed my face, I also knew that I couldn't speak the language the trolls spoke, it was an alien language, and the book didn't tell me which planet they originally came from, I thought that if I could find out which planet they were originally from they could help us in defeating these criminals.
The trolls had worked through north and south America before a report from Africa came, when Damon, Dylan, Charlie and I got there, we saw tiny creatures about two feet tall, with little horns on their heads, they could fly and breath fire
"Gremlins" Charlie informed us, I saw that the gremlins and trolls were working together and I realised another rip could be seen in the sky, the rip itself was purple, and I could see a red sky beyond as more gremlins were coming through, the rip closed and a gremlin landed on my head, and started to pull at my hair, I screamed, grabbed it in my hand, bought it infront of me and punched it hard on its face, it screamed and tried to Grab at my hair again but I held it at arms length, the gremlin was green, it wore a cloth around its midsection and a hat, it had big eyes really big for a tiny thing
"What do you want?" I asked him "why are you here?" He stilled in my hands and tilted his head to the side, I though I made a breakthrough but then he shot fire out of his mouth burning my hair, he started laughing I dropped him as I cussed and I kicked him, he went really far, I could hear my hair sizzle
"Oh dear Lords" Charlie exclaimed
"How bad is it?" I asked
"Do you own a hat?" Dylan asked I just shook my head, it could wait, my hair was the least of my problems.
"We need to get these people to safety" I announced "WITCHES, GET PEOPLE TO SAFETY, HELP THOSE THAT YOU CAN, TAKE THEM TO THE UNITAUR COVEN" I hoped the gremlins and trolls wouldn't know where the Unitaur coven was, but then I thought, would these witches know?
People were fighting, falling, I heard a screech behind me, I turned to see horse like creatures in the sky, they had wings and riders, the riders looked human, like us,
"Now what?" Damon shouted out, readying himself to fight
"Wait, they're on our side" I announced as I saw a person I recognised, not person, god, it was Anubis, the god of death, which was to be expected people were dying everywhere, we gave him room to land as the other gods went to help and kill trolls and gremlins I looked at the white horse like creature in front of me as Anubis slid down the wing of the creature, I was so amazed
"Pegasus" Anubis announced "the ride of the gods" he smiled he greeted my mate and brothers and then he hugged me, I didn't realise I was crying until Anubis told me it would be ok
"Who is doing this?" I asked as he let me go, Anubis smiled weakly as if he didn't know the answer or he couldn't tell me, not yet
"We will help people get to the Unitaur coven, we will make sure no trolls or gremlins can get through the shields , we will also go to every coven and collect all the people, and bring them to you, go, now" Anubis left no place for argument so Damon, Dylan, Charlie and I blinked to the Unitaur coven, but there seemed to be a barrier not allowing us access, but a pegasus bowed it's head at us as if telling us to go forward, we did, and we were able to walk through, already we could see injured people being helped by the members of the council, when Stella spotted me she came to me
"Your majesty? These people, were bought here by those horses out there, no one can leave, there seems to be a border"
"Don't worry, let it be known that the pegasai outside are here to help us, they will keep the trolls and gremlins out" I announced
"Gremlins?" Stella squeaked out, I smiled apologetically I was now able to blink so Damon and I blinked home, I tried to blink to king Pierre's castle but wasn't able to, I was glad about that, it meant the magic the gods used was working, Damon and I went upstairs to change into more comfortable attire, clothes I could fight in, I wore a tight fitting black tee, and tight fitting pants, I had a fleeting thought about weapons and bulletproof vests, I laughed and shook my head
"What? Why are you laughing?" Damon asked me as he too smiled
"Nothing, I was just thinking like a mortal" I told him, Damon smirked "I was thinking about bulletproof vests and weapons" I shook my head, Damon came to me and held me close, I wanted to cry, could this day be the end? Could we survive this? Not only did I need to find a way to defeat the trolls and gremlins I also needed to find which of my children I needed to kill.
We went outside and I was greeted by a man, a god, he was huge he seemed to be built to break stones, his chest and arms were really big, he wore fur and leather as if it was armour, he had a sword and shield strapped to his back, he was bald and he had a beard
"I am Anhur" he told me
"The god of war" I told him
"My reputation proceeds me"
"You planted images in my head" I wasn't angry, I was just stating
"We needed something to be done, I took action, I am not sorry for that, I am, however, sorry for what you went through afterwards" I nodded, not knowing what else to say.
Anhur put out his hands and a sword appeared, he handed it to me, I took it with a thank-you
"This sword is made using the strongest metals of heaven it can cut through anything, and when I say anything I mean anything" Anhur smiled, the sword wasn't heavy, and I put the sword into my belt, not having anywhere else to put it
"Anastasia" I heard someone call my name, I turned to see the Lord of the underworld
"Lucifer" I greeted
"You remember me?"
"From Mayas wedding? How could I forget" I told him
"Ahh, of course" Lucifer seemed disappointed
"Are you ok?" I asked him
"I thought you remembered the past, thats all" he waved it off "Nice sword" he looked to Anhur "shake hands" he offered me his hand, I took it rolling my eyes, I felt a tingling in my hand that travelled up my arm and landed somewhere in my chest
"What was that?" I looked straight into Lucifers eyes
"Oh nothing much, I just topped off your hell fire, consider it a gift" Lucifer walked away as I scoffed, hellfire, this put a smile on my face, with the sword and fire I could fight, but what about...
"Anhur can you make more swords? For others I mean, we need all the help we can get, and if my ...." I was interrupted
"Relax Anastasia the swords have been distributed you and Damon were the only ones without a sword" I looked to Damon who now had a sword in his belt
"And the hellfire?" I asked
"That's up to Lucifer, not me" Anhur confirmed what I already knew, I nodded at him, I ran to Lucifer and asked if he could share his hellfire
"I cannot, Anastasia, not everyone is strong enough to handle hellfire, actually let me rephrase that, no one on Earth is strong enough to handle hellfire" Lucifer explained
"What about me? You gave it to me"
"Yes I did, but you handle it so well" he winked at me, I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion
"I gave you hellfire during the wedding, just a little, a tiny bit, less than what I gave you now"
"But, wait, that means" I gasped "the fire at the house, that was, that was, oh gods, that was hellfire?" I shrieked
"Yes and you handled it so well" lucifer was so calm whilst I was enraged
"Well? I burnt the house down" I shouted, Damon held my hand
"Yes you did, you killed the king and prince and you burned the house, you didn't hurt your brothers or mate, in all that fire in all that distraction and distruction you. Kept. Them. Safe" Lucifer had a soothing hand on my shoulder, he was right, I realised it then, he was right, everytime I used the fire within me I never hurt anyone I wasn't supposed to hurt, I allowed my mate to hold me and I allowed Lucifer to walk away.
"We need to strategize" I heard behind me, Anhur was walking towards us
"Strategize? For what?"
"The war, Anastasia" he told me, I shook my head
"I'm not an army General, I know nothing about war" I told him
"Then learn, you're the queen" Anhur reminded me
"I know that" I gritted my teeth
"Being queen isn't about tiaras and crowns, sometimes it's about leading an army" he scoffed at me, I rolled my eyes
"Then teach me" I told him, he smiled and beckoned me with his head to follow, Damon and I followed him to the council house, we went into the meeting room, Anubis, Osiris, and Eros amongst other gods and people were already here, including Benjamin, Nathaniel, and Pierre, I ran to Pierre "Oh thank the gods you're okay" I said to Pierre to which...
"Thank-you" every god in the room said at once, that hurt my hearing, I hissed covering my ears then laughed when Anubis laughed
"Where are Dylan and Charlie?" I asked only now realising they weren't there
"We don't know" Pierre told me
"They were last seen somewhere in Spain, that was a while ago" Damon told me, to which I nodded
"Please let them be ok" I told the gods, it was weird I didn't have to pray in my head anymore, Anubis smiled weakly at me whilst the others pretended they didn't hear me, that can't be good, right?
We sat for over two hours planning a fight, a war, we could hear screams getting closer, the trolls and gremlins were coming.
I stood and walked outside, people were everywhere the shield seemed to hold, and I could see more people coming in through the shield
"They're coming" I recognised that voice, it was Charlie holding a man, the man had his arm around Charlie's shoulder, someone helped the man and Charlie stood straight I saw that the man wasn't Dylan, I ran and embraced my brother,
"Dylan?" I asked to which Charlie shook his head I gasped at that
"We tried to get away, but, Dylan, he, he" Charlie cried as he fell to his knees, I fell on mine right in front of him, I held him as he cried, it felt like we cried for hours but it had only been a few minutes, when we were joined by my mate, blood ran down Damon's face as he cried for his fallen friend, when I stood up I saw others on their knees with their swords held to the sky, I wondered what they were doing.
