lilac scented dreams *fully updated and complete*

chapter 13

 "What is this madness? Dru, what is going on? Why can you leave?" A wrinkle on her forehead as she furrowed her eyebrows.

"It seems like you are the only one bound to the spell. It's you Crissy, not the door." In a mere whisper, one can say they heard "it's always you".

Arlo, a young god, with gold-like skin, gold wings, and long black hair walks up and stands near Dru. "We have decided you can see your pet human once more before he is banished. The previous gods, with Noah in tow, came walking through the room's threshold. "You have ten minutes with your toy before he gets sent to the mortal realm." Pushed into the cursed room Noah tumbles in. Tears streamed down his face.

Everyone left the area and not a word was said for what seemed like an eternity. Staring into blank nothingness, Noah swallowed his fear and spoke up. "It wasn't me, I love you too much. I would never be"

"Shut up I know" in a hushed voice she continues. "Pacing the room moving faster and faster the more her thoughts race. "Anyone truly wanting to get rid of me would know a simple barrier spell would not work. It must be about getting rid of you. Or to prove a point to me." Wrinkled forehead and furrowed brows "but why? What has happened recently that is so bad to get rid of me or you?" Silence engulfs the two in the room as her face slowly drops and her mouth opens as the worst thing she could think of pops into her mind. "Drussela."

A slow clap and footsteps are heard as the shadow lurking nears the room. "I'll give you credit for being smarter than I thought." Dylan rounds the corner revealing himself. "Which you did not give me. Both times we met, it saddens me that you didn't recognize me before. I would never let a weak god like you read my mind." Crissy, still too stunned and baffled to speak, stares at the man. "Oh, I see." As he starts to uncontrollably laugh. "Little miss goddess know it all still doesn't know who I am. You and your parents kicked me out of the "trusted" circle of gods 50 years ago. Ah, maybe this will help" He waves his hand in front of his face revealing scars all over with another wave, and his face back to normal.

"Amos." A silence that felt like forever engulfed the room. Fixing her composure. "I see. This, this was all a sick revenge plot, wasn't it? Why take revenge on me when it was my parents who kicked you out? Although I don't blame them."

Amos giggled, "Easy, queen, you are the one in a trapped room. With a filthy human nonetheless. I told you guys they can't be trusted."

"No, Amos, it's you who can't be trusted. You helped create the mortal realm, the "filthy" humans and now you despise them. Why? Why do you hate them so?"

As close as he could get without entering the room Amos then whispers to Crissy. "Because your parents and other gods fell in love with them. Let them join us here, even procreated with them." Disgust was evident on his face.

"Without them Amos we are nothing, we have no purpose. What is the point of being gods if we have no one to rule over? No one to use our powers for. Gods have no reason with no one to need them. We exist for them, because of them. Who are you to hate them? More than a jealous god with no worshipers." A pause and a shift in tone as her voice softens. "Is that it? You were lonely, weren't you? No one praying to you, no one sending you sacrifices. Poor, poor lonely Amos."

"Shut up! Just shut up you a weak soft hearted excuse for a god. You have done nothing big, nothing useful for us in the past years you have ruled. You are stagnant on the throne. A body in place of a better ruler yet to come. Your parents might have exiled me but at least they did something. Why do you think there's a coup happening? You're nothing but a scared weak little girl."

"Scared and weak. Scared and weak?!" The soft purple glow that always surrounds Crissy seems blacker as she starts to float in the air. Pointing towards the doorway the slight ripple of the barrier disappears as Amos coughs up blood. "I'll show you scared and weak." The walls and ground start to crack and crumble apart, the ceiling falling onto them in small pieces. His bones start cracking as he screams and writhes in agony. The room starts to fall apart as Noah tries to dodge the falling debris.

"Love, please stop this. You're using too much, you're going to kill us all." pleading with all his soul as he tries to touch Crissy. Upon doing so his hand breaks and twists in ways a human should not be capable of. Screaming he runs away and cowards in the corner, still yelling and begging Crissy to stop; as the castle groans and moans for the help of its end. Other gods come running in along with Drussela, all of them screaming and shouting at the out-of-control queen. Amos is on the ground now, barely breathing, covered in his own blood from wounds unknown.

"We have to put a stop to this, she will end us all if she continues. Not one of us alone can stop her insanity, we need to all put in some effort." all other beings around nod in agreement. As about 15 different species of gods, raise their hands or weapons. All charging towards her with fear but courage. Some fly back from where they first came from, others disappear. Noah sprints to his love and jumps in front of her using his body as a sacrifice. "Stop! Crissy, please stop, they'll kill you."

"No one can kill me!" A bubble surrounds her and Noah, as a tornado forms in the doorway hurling toward her attackers, those who never truly respected her, always questioning her. Never loved her. Clouds and lightning form in the air, striking anyone outrunning the tornado. As the castle falls to the ground, crashing around everyone. After all the dust and debris settle the glow of black disappears as no color surrounds Crissy anymore. The bubble surrounding them no more, as they fall to the ground. Crissy looks around at all the damage she has caused. At all the injuries she caused. Some gods impaled as others were crushed. Look around and she falls to her knees. "Oh my gods, what have I done? I'm a monster." crying, she looks over to Noah. "Please forgive me. I don't know what happened to me." She waves her hand and everyone hurt is healed. With another wave the castle slowly starts repairing itself. Making sure it does no harm to others. Dropping to her knees, arms in the air, she speaks "do what you will with me, I clearly have clouded judgment, just please do no harm to Noah. It is not his fault I lost my composure to someone trying to get a reaction out of me. Just put that man in a secured prison." She looks at Amos.

Drussela walks up to Crissy, points at her and she is in pink buzzing handcuffs. "I hate to do this to you sister, but something clearly needs to be done about the rampage and chaos that you ensued." Turning to look at the crowd. "I propose reincarnation to the human world. Since she loves humans so much, let her live like one, clearly the first time wasn't long enough. We should take her memories of everything and let her live the life she adores so much. If she can remember who she is through my spell she can come back."

A god seen earlier speaks up. "No one has ever broken that spell before."

A smile appears on Drussela's face. "Well if she is the god queen she should be strong enough. Are we all in agreement then?" Almost all the gods raise their hands indicating agreement. "Right then, this shouldn't hurt much." Pointing at Crissy a pink line zaps at her head.

Looking at Noah Crissy speaks. "Find me, find me, and help me. Let me live a normal life, one that I never got just for a little bit. Once you think I am ready, help me. Help me remember who I was and who I can be. But if you notice, my people start to endure what they can not, even if I'm not ready, wake me up. I love you and we will meet again." Ragged breath and tears running down her face. As she fades away to nothing.
