[chapter six: don't go]

1521 AD- TENOCHTITLAN

Paradise is what she felt. Her love for Druig only grew more than she'd thought was possible. And his love? He'd never thought he could love someone as much as he loves her. They were in bliss, content in each other's arms. That was until the latest Deviant attack.

The Eternals were currently split. The village in which The Eternals were protecting was in flames. Humans fighting against each other. It was terror.

In the forest where 5 of the Eternals were waiting, Thena and Makkari arrived.

"Where are the others?" Ajak questioned.

"We had to split up." Makkari signed.

"There were more Deviants than you said." Thena said.

"Well I'm sure that was a lot of fun for you." Phastos said.

Thena smirked. "It was."

"Are you both okay?" Astraea asked, who was holding Druig's hand.

Both her best friend and sister nodded.

Phastos manifested the golden globe he used to track the Deviants. "Once the others kill the last Deviant, we will have eliminated them all from the planet."

Gunshots, screaming, pure chaos was heard from the village. Astraea sensed her lover's frustration. Druig walked towards the sound of war, using his power to try to take over the minds of the Soldiers. All the Eternals clueless over Thena.

"Don't." Ajak said to Druig, making him stop. "We do not interfere with their wars."

Druig sighed, frustrated. "This isn't war. It's genocide." he said, turning around. "Their weapons have become too deadly. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea helping them advance, eh Phastos?"

"Technology is part of their evolution, Druig. It's not something I can control."

Astraea walked towards her lover, taking his hand into hers. He gave her a small smile, squeezing her hand. "Maybe you can't but I can."

"Stay strong my love, it's okay." Astraea said.

"It's too late." Thena said, in a monotone voice.

Sersi was the first to notice something wrong. "Are you okay? Thena?"

"Everyone is going to die." She said, and with that her eyes became white and she summoned a spear.

"Thena?" Astraea said. Thena charged at Sersi, thankfully Makkari sped her away with only a small cut on her shoulder.

Panic set over everyone. Thena then charged at Phastos, injuring him below the shoulder. Ajak and Druig went to his aid, leaving Astraea there to fend for herself in a moment of panic. Thena was about to pierce through her sister when Makkari pushed her out of the way,

Thena was about to stab Makkari when Ajak stepped in front. "Don't listen to your head, Thena. Listen to my voice. You are safe. You are loved. You're our Thena."

Thena seemed to relax but a gunshot brought her back to her deadly trance. Thena tried to stab Ajak but instead stabbed Astraea through the gut when she pushed Ajak out of harm's way.

"No!" Druig screamed, instantly ran to Astraea's side.

Astraea gasped at the pain, "You're an idiot, why did you do that?" Druig said, hoisting her onto his lap. Astraea chuckled, "I'm your idiot."

By that time Gilgamesh had arrived to knock Thena out. Ajak rushed to Astraea and the others and healthed them.
