The Risks of Love

Chapter 45

Ophelia's POV (Deity of Human)

Everything has settled down and went back to how it's supposed to be, Blake getting punished in the prison, Ember exiled and reincarnated to live as a human being for one last time before her soul will be vanished from the whole universe once and for all. 

Without the coronation, everyone addressed me as their queen and I was told "The Right One to be on the Throne" but I rejected them. Being their queen and ruling heaven is the least thing on my bucket list. 

So, to complete one last thing on the list, I walked towards the Hall of Souls. I've been here a couple million years ago to find Vincent's soul but gave up when it never appeared for nine hundred million years. 

As I walked inside, they vowed and let me in. The hall was in the same state it was in, millions of years ago. The only thing that has changed is more space and books occupying the hall. The hall was around twenty meters high, decorated with grey marbles and golden linings. 

I walked towards the center of the hall where there was a large table with a crystal tablet where you could find the books you needed regarding the souls in all the realms. 

With shaky hands, I scribbled on the name of Vincent and waited for several number of books opened infront of my eyes. Among them, I spotted the familiar face and broke out in a grin. 

Tyler looked to be in his early twenties with his beautiful emerald green eyes and it reminded me of the short time we spent together. As deity of Human, I believe in fate because even though everything that happens in your life is based on your own choices, fate brings those who you meet in your life. 

And I would like to think that I happen to go through the trial and meet Tyler in his current life because fate exists. Also, the fact that we've been each other's soulmates in our previous lives says enough. 

When I visited Blake a couple days ago, he asked me why I couldn't let Vincent go after all these years. He also asked what could I possibly do for him when he's already vanished from this world. Well, now, it looks like the answer's clear because I know exactly what I should be doing. 

I walked out of the hall and flew to my palace, summoning my generals, the deities who work under me, technically, everyone in heaven along with Selene by my side. 

When everyone's gathered, I sat on my throne and they greeted me. They soon went to their seats after I've dismissed their extravagant greeting for getting on their knees, kowtowing while praying for my longevity. 

"Alright, thank you for being here. Today, I called you guys because I have a very important announcement for you guys here." There were quiet murmurs as they shared their views and opinions. 

"Since I am yet to have my coronation, I would like to pass my throne to Selene, the deity of werewolves. She will be looking after all the deities as she has the biggest trust of me while I go and travel some of the realms. You guys will listen to her and follow her orders while I am gone. Selene, please." She was frozen on her seat as everyone stared at her with wide eyes before they got down from their seat to congratulate her and vow their loyalty.
