The Risks of Love

Chapter 43

I opened my eyes and looked around. Everything flooded back to my mind and things hit me. My trial to the human world to experience the life of human beings. When I sat up straight, my disciples ran inside, kneeling by my crystal bed. 

"Your majesty, you've returned and passed the trial. Congratulations!" 

"Congratulations, your majesty." My disciples hollered and I raised my hand to dismiss them. 

My head was flooding with my stay in the human world and the things I've gone through. Yes, the trial has taken a rather wrong path but it reminded me about my unfinished business. 

Yes! The deity of werewolves! 

Gathering my message in my golden bead, I flicked my finger and it flew to the palace where the deity of werewolf resides. 

If you were wondering, I am the deity of human beings, the one who's in charge of everything that happens in the human realm. 

The deity of werewolves and vampires are my people because they are the sub-species I created. I hold a lot of power in heaven which is almost on par with the emperor himself. If I wanted to throw him off the throne, I can do it with grace because he isn't my match. 

Talking about the deity of vampires, a thought popped in my head and I felt sudden anger as my soul almost vanished, had it not been the deity of werewolf. A normal soul would have vanished and never get the chance to reincarnate had it not been Cameron, the deity of poison and Selene, the deity of werewolves. 

Humans are the species I was assigned to look after ever since my great master retired. You see, the deities never die like humans do. Instead, they get tired of working as deities and retire, exploring endless heaven and enjoying themselves. 

I've been looking after humans for around two million years and I witness so many things along the way. But hell broke loose and everything got out of my hand when I went to explore the beautiful heaven with Vincent, the love of my life whose soul disappeared from the universe by the emperor. 

The story behind the palace of heaven is beyond complicated to explain in a sentence. Vincent was the deity of flowers. Even after millions of years, I can't forget him because he's my destined one. 

I tried to gather his soul ever since then but didn't get any, until my last encounter with Tyler. Rosalind wasn't fated to meet Tyler or anyone from the world of werewolves but looks like I will have to ask the deity of destiny some questions regarding it. 

I got up from my bed and walked towards the crystal mirror, framed with diamonds. It was the mirror that connected the human world and ours. It wasn't powerful enough to bring me to the human realm but it showed me everything that took place down there. 

Without even uttering the word, the mirror showed me an image of a man, slouched over our bed, crying his eyes out and murmuring something. In the other side of the room, Rose's parents stood, hugging each other as they supported each other as they wept.
