North (part 6)

Part 6 of the Cold series

Kristen had been alive since mortals were created by XD. That made her one of the oldest gods, second only to XD in age. In all those years of life, Kristen had seen many things. What present day mortals consider myth, Kristen had seen with her own eyes. She had witnessed the rise and fall of kings like Gilgamesh, the chivalrous deeds and traumatic ending of heroes like Achilles, and the birth and death of monstrous creatures like Fafnir. Kristen had gone by many names in her time like Ereshkigal, Desponia, Scáthach, Hel, Dhumavati, and others with stories about her exploits or suspected spouse. While not all the rumors were true, Kristen was a figure of many tales. In all her time an despite the stories, Kristen had fallen in love once. Even though suitors tried to win her hand, Kristen's heart was stolen by a young angel eager to challenge himself with seemingly impossible missions. Kristen gathered her courage to approach the angel, and he accepted her into his life. Within their friendship was where the two found love. Kristen married the angel, giving birth to a pair of twins. When she found that her husband had cheated, Kristen retreated into the heavens. By abandoning her family, they couldn't enter each other's domains anymore.

It had been many years since Kristen had last seen the love of her life. Kristen looked the same as when they met. Her angel, however, looked older. He looked tired. Kristen saw the faint traces of grief that had nearly killed him lingering around him like an aura. There was definitely regret in those eyes, cutting deeper than any blade ever could. His wings were damaged badly, most of the feathers burned away by an explosion that Kristen had witnessed because that day had been filled with so much death. Kristen had never been able to see her angel, but she found that some events around him could grow gruesome in a hurry. Kristen was the same. Her angel was not. Kristen still felt her heart flutter in her chest at the sight of Phil. "My love..."

"Kristen?" Phil whispered. He walked towards her slowly. His arms raised up to hesitantly grab onto her kimono. Kristen watched as her angel crumbled into her arms. There was very few times that Phil would ever cry, but reuniting with the woman that he loved was a time that tears fell from his eyes down his cheeks. Kristen shouldered his tears, a smile on her lips as she was finally able to hold her angel tightly again. "How are- why- what happened?"

Kristen gave herself one more minute of comfort in his arms. After that moment passed, Kristen gently pushed Phil away. Kristen pushed her veil aside that way Phil could see her expressions. Phil sucked in a sharp breath as he was able to see her face after years. It wasn't since Tommy's birth that Phil had saw his wife's beauty. Even when she had her ruby lips pressed in a firm line, and her crystalline white eyes locked on Phil in something akin to anger, Phil had to appreciate the glory of the goddess before him. Kristen's voice echoed across the snowy biome where Techno's home met Kristen's forest. "I was sent by the other gods to aide Tommy. I am meant to protect him until he can make amends with those who he has wronged and who have hurt him. Should I perform my duties accordingly, I will be allowed to reunite with my family. I have been allowed to see you per Tommy's directions. He believes that the two of you have reconciled enough for the gods to permit me access."

"Tommy? Why do the gods care about him? What he has done to deserve their praise, or worse, incur their wrath?" Phil asked quietly. For people like Phil, attracting gods wasn't a good thing. While this had allowed him to meet his wife, Phil had several horrible experiences with other gods. Phil wouldn't wish it upon any of his children. Phil wasn't even comfortable allowing the gods to gift his children. When Techno had been given the Voices by the Blood God, Phil protected Wilbur from any blessings that another god would want to place. Phil suspected that was why Techno embraced his divinity, Wilbur was never familiar with his, and Tommy outright rejected his. Tommy used to reject his divinity, anyways.
