𝐙𝐄𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐔𝐒 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐀𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐎 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐂 to relax herself. Greyson kept watch on Virgo and Trig had found his way to Zeminus to stay with her. He was truly a baby boy who needed his mothers attention. Zeminus felt calm until something made her tense. "Avalanche, you feel it too?" Zeminus asked, to others it seemed that she was talking to herself. "𝖞𝖊𝖆𝖍, 𝖎'𝖒 𝖗𝖊𝖆𝖉𝖞 𝖜𝖍𝖊𝖓 𝖞𝖔𝖚 𝖆𝖗𝖊." Avalanche replied and Zeminus stood up and placed Trig under the steps of the cabin before slowly readying her body. When Zeminus snapped, behind her, ready to use a dagger to what or who was behind her, happened to be Druig. "I knew I should've knocked." Druig said, sarcastically, not offended by The Goddess' movements. Zeminus relaxed and dropped her dagger. She sighed before turning back to her seat. "You can come out now, Trig." Zeminus told the plant species who peaked his head out from the stem of the balcony.

Zeminus took Trig into her hands and onto her lap while Druig came and sat beside her. "What is with you and this Twig?" Druig asked as he eyed Trig on her lap. "First of all, don't call him that, Secondly, this twig has a name and Thirdly, he's my baby." Zeminus said, making it clear to the Mind Controller. "Okay, then what's his name?" Druig asked, a slick smile on his lips appeared while he eyed the Goddess. Zeminus glanced at Druig before giving the name, "Trig." "You know, if I didn't know them any better, I would've suspected that they send you to talk to me." Druig said, as he was expecting her company. "Your right.. they did. And I was until I got.. preoccupied." Zeminus said as she took out her grey Beats and black Diamond cased phone. "And what is this? The Humans have really involved over the centuries, huh?" Druig asked, taking Zeminus' phone from her hands. "Yes, they have. And you would happen to like it, if you got out more. Matter fact, here..." Zeminus said and cut herself off by placing her headphones over Druig's ears.

Druig made a face, "This feels weird." Zeminus only laughed, looking down at her phone to play the song she thinks he'd like. She found the pink album coloured song, Slow Motion by AMARIA BB and she could hear the song crescendo behind the headphones. "I don't even know what she's saying." Druig said, slightly loud from his ears behind the headphones and Zeminus laughed again before taking them off his ears. "Do you know what's she's saying?" Druig asked, looking at the Goddess. "No.. but it's not about the lyrics, it's about what this persons emotions are. And in my case, I was currently listening to this type of music before you showed up." Zeminus explained and softly smiled. Soon, it slowly fell and sighed. "Look, Druig, I know you don't want to hear it, but.." Zeminus begun but Druig interrupted her. "I know what your gonna say, darlin. But even after all these years, I was able to make peace with some humans. Here. And this Celestial that feeds off of the people on this planet.." Druig said but Zeminus found a small break away there.

"So then, think about them. You've seen the good in humans here. And now you know about what our true purpose is from killing all of those Deviants from different planets and thinking we were only trying to help the humans evolve through time... only to see that we were only making an entry for this Celestial that's beneath our feet to destroy the lives we've sworn to protect. After all we've done for centuries, does it still feel good to just... let it happen after what we know now?" Zeminus asked, but Druig didn't answer and look out into the forest. Zeminus sighed, thinking there was no convincing him any longer, so she took Trig in her hands and on her shoulder before standing up. "Well, if you don't want to come with us, there's still a B options." Zeminus said, thinking about one other person that might be able to help and defeat the Celestial Tiamut.

Before she could a few steps away, Druig called her name. "Zeminus.." The Goddess turned around, looking over her shoulder to the Mind Controller. "If I agreed to help but only for you..." Druig begun after he sighed and looked at Zeminus. Zeminus herself, smiled brightly after she had just won him over. But the moment was interrupted when tree leaves fell from the sky and a loud screech was heard. The Deviants were here.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐎 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐓 𝐎𝐅𝐅 one of the Deviants and Zeminus was just in time to contact Avalanche to turn her arms into blades and stab the Deviant into a shack tut had blown up. "You good?" Zeminus asked Kingo, once she came to his side. "Yeah. Little late than ever. You sure, you and Druig were doing more than just talking?" Kingo asked, teasing Zeminus who made a face. "Shut up." Zeminus said before a voice behind them spoke. "Very nice, sir, miss Zeminus!" Karun had said behind them making Zeminus shook that he and Greyson were behind them. "Are you mental? Hide!" "Hide!" Both Kingo and Zeminus shouted at the two humans standing there. "No! That was badass and we need action sequences!" Greyson shouted before the Deviant began to stand up again. "Sprite, take Greyson and Karun out of here." Zeminus told the little Eternal before going into action with Kingo.

One Deviant had wrecked the side of a hut and exposed more people inside. It roared furiously. "Zeminus!" Sersi called the Goddess' name and caught her attention. Zeminus had Avalanche attach onto its neck and legs. Slowly and forcefully, the Deviant sunk underground until it broke free and attacked Zeminus head on. But gun shots had distracted it from attacking to find that the village people were under control by Druig. Zeminus' eyes found Druig who slithered through the Deviant's tail and grabbed a gun on the ground. A gun shot was pointed at the top of the Deviant's back. Sersi touched a tree to turn it into metal and have it land straight on the Deviant. "Druig! Let them go." Zeminus said as she ran to the mind control. "Now is not the time, darlin." Druig said, but Zeminus was not having it. "Yes, you are indeed right, which is why you will let them go. Now." Zeminus demanded quickly, and Druig himself was under the spell of her request. "Alright, fine." Druig gave him and lifted his arm to the villagers.

If Zeminus wasn't in the middle of a battle, she would have continued gawking at the way Druig's muscles flexed. But even when it wasn't the right time, Zeminus had indeed glanced. The villagers were then freed. "Druig, what's happening?" One villager asked in Spanish. "Go! Get to the river!" Druig ordered and all the villagers retreaded. It was then the Deviant had escaped the metal tree hold. Druig and Zeminus ran and Zeminus had ran into Sersi, "Come on!" Zeminus shouted and held onto Sersi for her to keep up. As Zeminus led Druig and Sersi together, the Goddess of Torture had found Kingo and Sprite having a hard time with one Deviant. "Keep going, I'm gonna help Kingo and Sprite!" Zeminus informed them before she contacted Avalanche. "Ave, I'm gonna need your assistance." Zeminus said in her mind for Avalanche to hear. "𝖑𝖊𝖙'𝖘 𝖌𝖊𝖙 𝖙𝖍𝖎𝖘 𝖘𝖔𝖓 𝖔𝖋 𝖆 𝖇𝖎𝖙𝖈𝖍." Avalanche said before Zeminus slid on her knee and kicked the Deviant's leg down before landing on her back.

"Hi." Zeminus said, the Deviant's head in front of hers and Avalanche took his chance and changed Zeminus' hands and arms into his ideal swords that slashed the whole Deviant in half. It's fluids slapping onto the Goddess' face once it dropped to the ground. Zeminus gasped when she felt the liquid all over her face and most likely in her hair. All was quiet until she heard the ringing voices of... "Karun! Did you get that?" Kingo asked from one side of her ear. "I did, sir!" Karun replied on the other side of Zeminus' ears. Kingo came and helped Zeminus up her feet. "Ooh, you got- you have a little.." Zeminus stopped Kingo from finishing. "I know and I just wanna keep it from my mind." Zeminus said before all Eternals went back into action.
