I wake up with a major hangover. One of the things that make me cope with my miserable life is alcohol. I also have sexual encounters with different people from time to time. There is an exclusive sex club where people wear masks and have a membership in order to get into. The club is very high class and the membership fee is R1 million yearly. I have no problem in paying that money because I am monied.

I sit up and groan as I feel the headache attempting to split my brain. I make the bed and then go freshen up. When I am done, I head to the kitchen and drink some potion which takes a few minutes to cure my hangover. I make breakfast, sit down and eat it. When I am done I wash the dishes and clean the kitchen. The intercom rings. I check the screen to see a delivery man from an online shop. Finally.

I open for him. He drives in, places my package in the doorstep. Then leaves. I open the door, take my package and then close. I go to the lounge and unbox it. It’s a black long sleeve t-shirt, black jeans, mostly black clothes. I go and pack them in my closet and go back to the lounge. While searching for a channel to watch, the room temperature suddenly drops. I stand up.

This means the Ice Goddess – Seruva is here. Most goddesses bow to me. They treat me like a queen because I am superior to them. I have to ability to show myself to humans whereas they can’t do that. They can only appear to gifted people. She appears in front of the TV wearing a long ice blue gown and her ice crown. Her face is covered with ice blisters. She is also like me. The blisters make her look hideous.

Seruva: “your highness.” She bows a little and then stands up straight.
Me: “how can I help you goddess?”
Seruva: “my castle has been discovered. It is under threat. Humans have discovered it and I heard them speak about exploring it and opening it to the world. They call it the enchanted frozen castle which is always frozen, even in summer.”

Me: “why don’t you cast the spell of illusion? That will surely make them seem crazy.” She chuckles.
Seruva: “you seem to forget that you are one of the few who have access to unlimited spells. That’s why I am here seeking your help.” I huff. Sometimes I feel like they treat me like their errands girl or something.

Me: “how about we do something fun? Like spontaneous?” she frowns.
Seruva: “are you okay your majesty?”
Me: “I am super fine. I just want us to have a little fun. Toy with the humans. We can maybe freeze their wheels or just trap them in ice. They could be real life Anna.”
Seruva: “who is Anna?”

Me: “wow you have never watched Frozen? It's a movie about a young lady with ice powers.”
Seruva: “you do know that if I were to spend 30 minutes with you, you would freeze to death, right?” I roll my eyes.
Me: “you're no fun.” I close my eyes. “Excitare karma.” My outfit changes to the black long robe. My black scythe appears in my hand. “We can leave now.”

Seruva: “in arce glacies.” I close my eyes as the room temperature drops very fast.
In a blink of an eye, we appear outside her castle. Well not every being can bear being inside her house. Only the fire goddess and the water goddess. I close my eyes and frown when I feel faint footsteps and whispers from a distance. More like a few kilometers away.

Me: “do you feel that?”
Seruva: “feel what?”
Me: “the humans. They are here.”
Seruva: “how will you do the spell with them here?”

Me: “we will just have to kill them.” I dissapparate and then apparate a few meters away from the humans. They haven't noticed me. There are 12 of them. An idea comes to mind quickly. I can blind their visions and make them see their worst fears. “Timoribus animari. Timoribus animari. Timoribus animari.”

They start screaming and trying to run away from their fears but they keep bumping into each other. This is fun to watch. Seruva appears next to me.
Seruva: “what did you do?”
Me: “fear spell.” she walks closer to them. She then closes her eyes and intense cold winds start blowing. They then suddenly stop. When I look at the humans, they are like frozen statues.

Seruva: “INTERMISSUM!” she shouts and the statues shatter and break to thin pieces. I walk to her.
Me: “get someone to retrace their steps and cover your tracks.”
Seruva: “who?”

Me: “earth Goddess. Now let me do the illusion spell so that you won't have to deal with this shit again.” I dissapparate and apparate in all four corners of her castle, leaving a cross in each. I then go to the gate. “Haec inlusio non operiet domum ad desertum.” I chant those words 3 times and the house gets covered with a desert. “How do you like it?” I ask as she comes to stand next to me.

Seruva: “much better. I hope this doesn't give them ideas to build hotels or whatever these humans think of.” I nod.
I then dissapparate and apparate inside my house. I stagger back and fall down. Doing spells us not pleasant because I always lose strength after performing them.

Seruva: “your highness drink.” She appears with a potion in her hand. She helps me drink and then disappears again.
After a few minutes I gather some strength and stand up. And that's when I hear them. Distant screams and cries and pleas. The fact that they are distant means time hasn't come for me to rescue that person. I go to the kitchen to make myself dinner.
