Chapter six. 

[The celts just love Leah don't they]

"What are we if not all abnormal?

No one is the norm, because the minority

of people that tells you what the norm is

isn't it themselves."

"Is it even possible to do that?" 

The Celtic gods that had remained in the area watched Airmed in horror as she explained what she'd done. "I just blessed her is all," she said innocently. Nemain shook her head. 

"No, that's not a just thing, Airmed," she countered angrily. "She's from another pantheon. Is that even possible? The Fates would never allow us to cross pantheons." "If they wouldn't allow us to cross pantheons, your precious Aiden and Aeneas would both be dead by now," Airmed said disdainfully. "She's a good girl! And if she goes into another coma she'll have to deal with the Egyptians, Nemain." The goddess scoffed when she said the last part. "So stuck-up, just because they were one of the first societies."

Macha clicked her tongue. "You realize that this won't go without consequences, Airmed, correct?" she asked her. She, Nemain and Badb briefly turned into one, a woman with three heads. Airmed bowed her head in respect of the goddess. "You've woven the fate of our world, Morrigan," she said. "Your word is my command." Danu stood up angrily at her submission. 

"Why will she be punished for simply helping someone in need?" she asked indignantly. "Isn't that what we strive to do? Help the helpless." "Ah ah," Morrigan interrupted her, as she split back into three, "Leah isn't helpless. We have all seen her, and we can all agree that she is far from it." "That doesn't mean she hasn't been before," Danu countered. "Badb, won't you enlighten us?" The other goddess nodded, casting a look at her other two counterparts briefly. 

"In the past, Leah has been tortured, both physically and mentally, excluded, been forced into a coma, knocked out, beaten up," she explained vaguely. "She has been helpless before, and now she is to get revenge. Airmed is simply helping her gain it." Lugh rolled his eyes. 

"We're going to listen to the witch who is to be our destined downfall?" He scoffed. "Although between Nemain and Badb, I don't see much trustworthiness." "That's because you are a prick," Nemain commented, "and you only see the good in those that represent them as sunshine and rainbows. Remind me what you are god of again?"

"Stop bickering, will you?" Cernunnos barked. "We are here for the actions of Airmed, and we should discuss only those." Bacha raised an eyebrow at him, but as she did respect him, she asked, "And what is your opinion on the matter?" 

Cernunnos shrugged. "I am biased, she stems from one of the nature deities in the Greek pantheon, and she treats my territory well. I am in favor of her getting revenge on those who wronged her, and as Badb said, Airmed is simply helping her to that path." Bacha nodded. "That's fair, and as you said you are biased. Are there any to speak against this deed?" Lugh rose form the table. 

"I am the sun god, and I see all that happens under my reign. And I control thunderstorms, and the arts. My ravens hear all, and I have close ties to those that have ties to the ravens, stretching across pantheons. 

Leah might seek revenge now, but making it almost impossible for a mortal to do her harm was not the choice to make. She is powerful now, and so her power shall only grow. She now has not only enemies, but also many allies and if something happens to anger her..." He didn't finish his sentence. "Airmed must pay for the ignorance she portrayed of the dangers of blessing this dangerous girl."
