Phantom Queen Book one

Chapter Twenty

“Fredrick, Goddess Morrigan.” He says with a smile.
“Do I have anything I need to do for the kingdom?” I ask him.
“No, Goddess Morrigan. Everything is caught up, and I have read all the seneschal’s notes. I started reading a book the previous seneschal gave me, he said it was a true book about you.” He says with a grin.
“In fifty years will I have a new seneschal?” I ask as I am deep in thought.
“What could be happening in fifty years that would concern you?” I hear Lucifer ask me, I turn quickly to see him watching me.
“Nothing, just trying to figure out when I get a new seneschal, what the years are that they serve.” I say with a frown as I watch him walk towards me.
“I know you are planning something Morrigan, Carnage feels it this time.” He says as he grabs me and slams me against the wall.
“Get your hands off her, sir!” Fredrick yells at him angrily.
“Send your pet away before I eat it.” Lucifer whispers to me.
“Fredrick please leave us.” I say to him, he hesitates and then runs out of the room.
“Answer me truthfully.” Lucifer says as he presses his body against mine, I feel my magic held away from me when I try to reach for it.
“I did, Lucifer. Now get of me.” I say angrily.
“You are lying.” He says as I feel him wrap a hand around my throat, I grab his wrist with both hands as I try to pull it off me.
“No, I am not.” I whisper as he tightens his grip, I feel Emnos enter the room I look over at him and I see rage ignite in him as he runs to us, we vanish. A room I do not recognize appears around us, he slams me against a new wall as I feel him lock my magic away and take away my ability to vanish.
“Tell me truth, Morrigan.” He says angrily as his silver eyes glow.
“I did tell you the truth.” I whisper as I punch him in the face, he grins at me.
“You always resort to hitting me, I am starting to enjoy it.” He says with a laugh as pain shoots through my face. “But I will always hit back.” He whispers in my ear, I feel him remove me from the wall and a bed under me as he lays me down. I try to push and slap him as I regain my senses, I hear him laughing as I feel him move the skirt of my dress out of the way. I push against him with my legs sliding across the bed from him, I roll over and crawl away from him towards the edge of the bed, I feel him grab my hips and slide me across the bed back to him. I feel him lean over me as he holds my hips against. “I am going to make you mine.” He whispers in my ear as I feel a hand around my throat, I grab his wrist with both hands and pull it as hard as I can off my throat. He jerks his wrist out of my hands and I feel the skirt throw up onto my back as I crawl away from towards the edge again, I feel him grab my hips again when I almost make it to the edge sliding me across the bed back to him.
I feel him push against me from behind, pain shooting through me as he shoves inside me, I push against his hip with my hand as I try to pull myself forward, his grabs my wrist and pins it to my back as he shoves into me again. I try to push him away with my other hand, letting my face fall to the bed as pain shoots through me for him to pin it to my back with the other one, I scream in rage at him as I try to get my hands free. He laughs as he starts to pick up speed, I move my entire body as much as I can, he shoves it inside me harder I feel tears running down my face as I fight him as much as I can.
I hear him grunt as he thrusts it into me harder slowing down, as he lets go of my wrists, I feel him get off the bed I roll over onto my side watching him tie his pants together as he grins at me. “None of the Gods from either side will find you here, no one knows about it.” He says with a laugh and vanishes. The room has no windows, I see a door over in the corner, I slide off the bed and walk to the door I try to open it but it stays shut.
Macha can you see where I am?
No, I cannot sense you at all. Why?
Lucifer took me, can you go to Carnage’s Gods castle and find Satan, tell him Lucifer took me to a place he said no one would find me.
I send her a memory of Satan through our link so she knows what he looks like.
I am finding him right now, Goddess Morrigan.
Thank you.
I walk over to the bed and lay down, I allow myself to get lost in my memories as I wait for her answer. I look over when I feel someone appear in the room to see Lucifer grinning at me, he walks towards me as I watch him untie his pants. I close my eyes and escape into Macha’s mind, I see her running through a forest through her eyes, she looks over and I see Satan, Emnos, Dhuna and Cu Chulainn with her running through the forest.
We are coming for you, Satan thinks he found it when Lucifer vanished. Did he come to you?
Yes, he is here.
Just a few more minutes Goddess Morrigan, I promise.
I open my eyes to see him over me with a grin. “Finally decided to stop fighting?” He asks me then kisses me.
“I will never stop fighting, Lucifer.” I say as I look away, I see him pull back from me slightly, I bash my head into his face repeatedly until I feel a hand around my throat holding me down, I see blood on his face and I smile at him. Pain shoots through my face as I feel his fist hit it as many times as I bashed my head into his face, I try to keep focused on him but I feel the world slipping out from under me. I hear an explosion and the room shakes around us, his hand leave my throat as he gets off me glaring down at me, and he vanishes. I feel another explosion as soon as he vanishes, I feel hands picking me up and someone vanishing with me, I try to push away from them but they hold me tight. I feel another bed under me, a surge of magic pours into me from two sources, as I close my eyes and fall asleep.
I open my eyes to see Macha’s gold eyes staring at me, I feel an arm wrapped around me from behind. She smiles at me, I sit up on the bed to see my room around me, I look over to see Emnos as he pulls his arm away from me. “Thank you.” I say quietly.
“It is my job, Goddess Morrigan.” Macha says to me as she sits up.
“It is my job as well, love.” Emnos says to me as I feel his hand on my back.
“Did anyone catch Lucifer?” I ask them.
“No, he is still running.” Emnos says angrily.
“How many years has it been since I ascended you, Emnos?” I ask him.
“Around twenty.” He says as he sits up.
“Did you find Arthur?” I ask Macha.
“Yes, Goddess Morrigan. He is currently in the palace; I have explained to him why he has to stay away from everyone on that side.” She says as she smiles at me.
“Protect him.” I say to her, she nods and vanishes.
“What is special about Arthur?” Emnos asks me as I lay back on the bed.
“I imbued him with an ancient sword made from the stone of Creation, it allows the Gods to be able to remember all their past lives when they ascend. Satan threatened to kill Arthur and destroy his body, to take away our ability to do that, so that they could kill everyone and make them to turn to their side.” I say to him as I feel his arm wrap around me and pull me close.
“Which would mean that any of us that has changed would go back to our usual selves.” Emnos says quietly.
“Yes.” I say to him, the heavy weight of dread hits me, I sit up quickly as I grab Emnos and we vanish. The Gods graveyard appears around us; I see Lucifer standing over a hole in the ground. “Lucifer do not free him!” I yell angrily at him, he looks at us with a grin as Mordred climbs out of the hole, he looks at me with hatred and runs towards me. Swords appear in my hands as I raise them to block his sword, I see Emnos run past me to go after Lucifer.
Macha, come grab Emnos and take him away.
Yes, Goddess Morrigan.
I watch as she appears near him and grabs him before Lucifer’s sword comes down on him and they vanish. I feel pain shoot through me, as I fall to the ground, Mordred brings him shield back against him as he walks towards me with a grin on his face. I glance around for Lucifer to see him no where in sight, I grab Mordred with my magic, I watch as he struggles against it. I send out a call to Vhaanth, he appears beside me.
“I want his immortality removed.” I say to him.
“Why?” Vhaanth asks me.
“He attempted to help Lucifer kill me, he wants to kill all the humans in my city and he is the one that attacked it so long ago in the first place trying to kidnap Myrddin.” I say to Vhaanth, he frowns at Mordred.
“Why?” Vhaanth asks him.
“Because I wanted power, and someone offered to pay good money for Myrddin, as for helping that God it was just revenge for laying under ground all this time.” He says angrily as he glares at me, Vhaanth holds a hand up to him I feel magic surge in him, Mordred starts slowing aging in front of us, then it starts speeding up I watch as he turns into a skeleton and I release it with my magic letting the bones fall.
“Thank you, that is one less thing to worry about.” I say to him and he nods. “Vhaanth how many years until Theros returns?” I ask him.
“Twenty-four.” He says to me.
“I am going to get permission to hunt down Lucifer from Satan.” I say to him and he smiles at me.
“Make sure Dhuna and Emnos know where you are.” He says to me.
“I will.” I say to him, I vanish the Carnage God’s castle throne room appears around me; Satan appears in front of me with concern on his face. “I want permission to kill him.” I say to him, he walks over to me and touches a finger to my temple, I feel the memories of Lucifer flash through my mind, he drops his hand and I see anger in him.
“You have permission.” He says to me, I vanish a forest appears around me. I send out a call to Lucifer, I feel him appear out of sight.
“Are you here alone?” I hear his voice echo to me.
“Yes, I am.” I say to him.
“Why did you call me here, love?” He asks as he walks towards me, I turn to look at him.
“To kill you.” I say as I face him.
“Are you sure that is safe? Last time you almost died yourself.” He asks me with a grin.
“I am willing to take the chance.” I say with a smile, his sword appears in his hand. I run to him and he smiles at me as hounds appear at his sides as the darkness grows around him, the hounds rush at me at once to pounce at the same time, I dodge them as I keep running towards Lucifer. He raises his sword and blocks my strike as I turn with the other sword decapitating him, I turn back to the hounds, they charge at me again as I feel someone appear nearby. I raise my swords to slice through them but they back off from me looking to the right side of me, I look over to see Satan.
“They will not attack; you are free to go.” He says to me as he taps his leg and the hounds run to him
“Thank you, Satan.” I say to him as my swords vanish.
“You didn’t use your power to kill him, why?” He asks me as he watches me.
“If I attacked fast enough, I wouldn’t need it.” I say to him with a smile, he walks to me, he raises a hand holding me in place with magic. I feel magic enter me, probing my magic I feel the hidden portion of my power shrink back from his magic as it breaks the hidden block on it.
“That was a lie, Morrigan.” He says as he frowns at me. “I see how strong you really are now.” He says with a smile, I vanish. My room appears around me, Emnos glares at me as I collapse onto the bed.
“Why did you send your demigod after me?” He asks me angrily.
“Saving you from yourself.” I say quietly. “Lucifer is dead.” I say to him.
“Satan finally found him?” Emnos asks me.
“No, I killed him.” I say to Emnos.
“You are not hurt though.” He says with a frown.
“Did you know you can get stronger from the graves of your past lives?” I ask him.
“No, I did not.” Emnos says as he watches me.
“You can, I did.” I say to him with a small smile, I feel his magic enter me and he gives me a strange look.
“How did I not sense that before?” He asks me.
“Creation hid it when Satan took Myrddin, she had me go to the cemetery and dig up all my past lives.” I say to him.
“All?” He asks me with a troubled frown.
“All three thousand of them.” I say annoyed.
“Why is it showing now?” He asks me.
“Satan removed the block on it, when he noticed I didn’t use my powers to kill Lucifer.” I say quietly.
“Why didn’t you use them, Morrigan?” He asks me angrily.
“I am afraid to lose a wing again.” I say to him, he gives me a sympathetic look.
“You are not going to be able to get away with that forever, eventually you are going to have to use it.” He says with a sad smile.
“I will probably have to use it against the one who cut it off in the first place.” I say with a frown. “He can use the magic that keeps me from being healed.” I say as I watch him get on the bed with me.
“I really do not like how weak that magic makes you.” Emnos says with a frown.
“I probably will not survive what is to come, Emnos.” I say as I smile at him.
“Why?” He asks me angrily.
“I will have to kill Satan and then fight the Fomorians, right after.” I say to him.
“All the Gods will be helping with the Fomorians, though.” He says as he watches me.
“When Satan took Myrddin, she gave me two choices after I got the power from the bones. Fight now and die, the world loses to the Fomorians and everyone suffers, or fight both of them and the Fomorians then die.” I say to him.
“I chose to fight the Fomorians later, and those two so I could save the humans from dying.” I say to him with a smile. “With all the Gods we have a greater chance of saving everyone. All you have to do is wait four hundred years for me.” I say with a laugh.
“That is going to be painful.” He says as he gets up in between my legs and leans over me propping himself up on his hands on either side of his head.
“Now that I am a Goddess I see where you get your power from, I give you free reign while I am gone, but once I get back it stops.” I say to him with a frown.
“Not sure that I would want to.” He says with a frown.
“Why? It is who you are.” I say as I watch him.
“I love you, Morrigan. Doing that with the beings you sacrificed your life to protect just seems wrong.” He says with a sad smile, I feel someone appear and I look over to see Dhuna who is frowning at Emnos. “What do you want, Dhuna?” Emnos says as he glares at him.
“I think he came back wrong, Morrigan.” Dhuna says quietly as he keeps frowning at Emnos.
“I did not come back wrong you ass.” Emnos says angrily.
“Why do you say that, Dhuna?” I ask him with a laugh.
“Because the Emnos I know would have jumped on that offer, and thought nothing of it.” Dhuna says with a frown.
“We could have Vhaanth check him.” I say with a grin.
“I think it would be best, this is very disturbing. I can feel what he is feeling and that is not Emnos.” Dhuna says as his frown deepens, he walks over to us and touches us both, we vanish Vhaanth’s room appearing around us.
“You are very irritating, Dhuna.” Emnos says as he glares at him.
“What brings you three to me?” Vhaanth asks us with a frown.
“I want you to check Emnos to make sure he came back right.” Dhuna says to him, Vhaanth appears in front of Emnos and touches his forehead. We watch as both of their eyes glow, then Vhaanth looks at Dhuna.
“He is fine, I checked everything.” Vhaanth says to him with a smile.
“I told you I am fine.” Emnos says angrily as he glares at Dhuna.
“What made you think something is wrong, Dhuna?” Vhaanth asks him with a frown.
“Emnos just turned down Morrigan’s offer of letting him have sex while she is dead.” Dhuna says as he crosses his arms. “He even felt guilt towards her offering it.” Dhuna adds.
“That is what happens when you actually care about someone, Emnos is changing because of his feelings for her. You should get used to it, Dhuna.” Vhaanth says with a laugh. “For some reason he has always run away from commitment and has always done everything to destroy it. Now he is accepting it because he trusts her.” Vhaanth says as he smiles at Emnos.
“Vhaanth one more word and we will fight.” Emnos says as he glares at him.
“I think it is sweet.” I say as I look up at Emnos with a grin.
“How are you going to replenish power while she is gone, Emnos?” Vhaanth asks him.
“I will find a way.” Emnos says angrily.
“What happens if he runs out of power?” I ask Vhaanth.
“He dies to be reincarnated again.” Vhaanth says to me.
“The worst that can happen is you have to wait for me to come back.” Emnos says with a laugh as he looks down at me.
“I need to speak to him alone for a moment.” Vhaanth says to us, Dhuna and I nod and we vanish. My room appears around me, I walk over to the balcony, leaning on the rail I look down at the garden below.
I feel someone touch my shoulder; I look back to see Satan. “How can I help you?” I ask as I turn to look at him.
“Where is Emnos? I thought he would be keeping you from doing that.” Satan asks me with a smile.
“He is talking to Vhaanth.” I say with a frown. “How long has it been since I last saw you?” I ask him.
“Two weeks.” He says as he watches me with curiosity. “I find that lack of awareness, interesting.” He says with a small smile.
“How can I help you, Satan?” I ask him.
“I was wondering if you could help me with a small problem.” He says with a smile.
“What is it?” I ask as I frown.
“Cu Chulainn, he has been difficult lately.” Satan says as he offers his hand to me, my frown deepens as I take it, we vanish Satan’s room appearing around us. Cu Chulainn looks over at us and rage ignites in him, he runs to me. I watch him as he picks me up by the throat, I watch his eyes I see pain and anger in them as he slams me against the wall. I see Satan move to stop him, I hold a hand up to him and he stops with a frown, I let my hand fall.
“Nice to see you again.” I say to him.
“Why do you not fight me?” He yells angrily at me.
“Because I know you will not hurt me.” I say with a smile, I feel the grip tighten around my throat.
“How do you know that has not changed? You said yourself that I hate you.” He says angrily as he gets closer to me glaring into my eyes.
“If that is what you wish, go ahead.” I whisper, I see him raise his fist, I motion to Satan when he starts to move again. “Satan, if he does anything I want him to not be punished for his actions.” I whisper, Cu Chulainn screams in rage at me and drops me.
“I am tired of you protecting everything and not caring about yourself!” He yells angrily down at me, I stand and look up at him.
“I protect, that is my drive. What is yours?” I ask him, he gives me a pained look and vanishes.
“I felt his want to kill you inside him, it vanished as soon as you said not to punish him.” Satan says as he watches me.
“I think he was hoping you might give him the same treatment.” I say quietly. “No matter what he does, do not punish him. Let him know he will not be punished.” I say with a smile, he nods. “If that is all, I need to go back.” I say to him.
“You are free to leave.” Satan says as he turns and walks away from me, I vanish Vhaanth’s room appearing around me. I see Emnos glaring at the fireplace, and Vhaanth reading a book, he looks over it and smiles at me.
“What is wrong with him?” I ask quietly as I walk over to Vhaanth.
“Dealing with some information I gave him.” Vhaanth says as he glances back.
“What is it?” I ask him with a frown.
“That is between him and I.” Vhaanth says to me, I nod as I walk closer to him and sit on his desk. Vhaanth watches me closely, with a frown.
“Is this one of those things Creation does not want me to know?” I ask him with a smile.
“There are many things she doesn’t want you to know.” Vhaanth says quietly as he starts to lean back in the chair, I raise my hand and touch his temple before he can react. I look into the memory of him talking to Emnos, Dhuna, and I, I watch as we leave then back to Emnos.
“There is a chance she will die and not reincarnate.” I hear Vhaanth say in the memory.
“Why?” Emnos asks angrily as he glares at him, I see tears in his eyes in the memory.
“Satan has the ability to take the soul from her while they are fighting, we will not know it has happened until it is time for her to reincarnate, he does not take the soul immediately. It happens after her death.” I hear Vhaanth say to him in the memory.
I drop my hand and I smile at Vhaanth who glares at me. “That is very rude.” He says angrily to me.
“Leaving me in the dark about that is not?” I ask him with a laugh.
“Creation said you might not fight if you knew that.” Vhaanth says as he crosses his arms.
“Obviously neither of you know me very well.” I say with a frown. “I am going back to my room, come get me when it is time to ascend Gods.” I say as I look back over at Emnos, he is watching me with tears falling down his face. “I love you too.” I say to him with a smile and vanish. My room appears around me, I walk over to the balcony to lean on the stone railing, I look up at the beautiful colors of the setting sun.
I feel someone touch my back, I turn to look at Vhaanth, he gives me a sad smile. “Emnos has not been back?” He asks me.
“How many years have passed?” I ask him with a frown.
“It is time to ascend the Gods, Morrigan.” He says quietly.
“No, he never came back. Where is Ark, Babd and Theros?” I ask him.
“Are you sure you are okay to do this?” Vhaanth asks me with a frown. “You don’t want to at least talk to him?” He asks me.
“I said everything I needed to, if he doesn’t want to see me, I will not force it.” I say with a smile.
“Theros is in the city of Gainsport, Ark is in the valley of kings, where you took Myrddin. Babd is in the town of Raven.” He says quietly.
“I will let you handle the others.” I say to him, I see Satan appear in my room angry, he glares over at me and I frown. “Go ahead.” I tell Vhaanth, he looks back and Satan and vanishes. Satan walks over to me as he glares at me. “What is wrong?” I ask him with a frown.
“Emnos came and took my demigod, and then my demigod comes back later and disowns me then leaves!” He yells angrily at me.
“I have not seen Emnos, since you last saw me.” I say with a frown, he growls and vanishes. I vanish to Gainsport, I look around at the people around me looking for the yellow eyes, I walk towards the dock and I see a man carrying a stack of crates he looks over at me and smiles, his yellow eyes watching me. I run to him, he sets the crates down and turns back to look at me.
“Hello, Goddess Morrigan. What brings you to the docks?” He asks as he bows to me as he looks up at me with a grin.
“Looking for someone.” I say with a smile.
“Would you be upset with me if I said the statues do you no honor, you are more beautiful in person, Goddess Morrigan.” He says as he stands back up and smiles down at me.
“No, I wouldn’t I dislike those statues.” I say with a laugh as I walk closer to him as I look into his eyes.
“Do you need help finding the person, Goddess Morrigan?” He asks me with a frown.
“No, you are him.” I say with a laugh as I hug him and touch his forehead. The void appears around us and he looks around with a frown. “You are Theros, God of Summer.” I say as I take his hand with a grin as my eyes glow, he looks down at me with a smirk as the memories flood into his mind, he collapses to his knees as he suffers through all of his deaths. His grip tightens on my hand as he clenches his jaw against the pain, the world returns around us as he stands.
“Thank you, Morrigan.” He says with a smile as he grabs me and hugs me tightly, I hug him just as tight.
“No more dying, Theros.” I say with a laugh against his chest.
“I promise.” He says with a laugh. “Now go get Ark and your demigod.” He says to me as he lets go of me and I vanish to the town I left Myrddin at. As soon as I appear swords are pointed at my throat, I look around at the men glaring at me.
“State your business, Goddess.” They say angrily.
“You have a God among you, I am here to ascend him.” I say quietly as I watch them, I look around at each of them until I see the familiar green eyes glaring at me and I point at him. “That is the God.” I say to them, they back away from him and me.
“I am no God.” He says angrily as he raises his sword to me higher.
“I will duel you, no powers, no abilities. Just weapons, first blood wins.” I say to him with a smile.
“What do I get if I win?” He asks me angrily.
“You get to kill the Goddess of War.” I say to him and he smiles. “I ascend you if I win.” I add with a grin.
“I agree to your terms, but you have to use a forged weapon by us.” He says with a grin.
“I agree to your terms.” I say to him, one of the men hand me a large sword, we walk out of the village and the men watch from the side. Ark charges at me with his sword held up, with murderous intent in his eyes, I step to the side and sweep his legs out from him he turns as he falls landing on his back. I walk over to him with a smile and he laughs as I poke his hand to draw a drop of blood.
“Seems you win, Goddess. Ascend me, which one am I?” He asks me with a grin.
“Ark, God of War.” I say as I toss the sword to the ground and kneel down beside him as I touch his forehead. The void appears around us, I look up at him with a smile.
“How are there two Gods of War?” He asks me with a frown.
“Creation’s plans.” I say as I offer my hand to him, he takes it as my eyes glow, I watch his expression on his face change as he looks down at me as the memories flood his mind. He falls to a knee and his grip tightens as he looks up at me in pain. “Welcome back, Ark. Aife is going to kill you.” I say with a smirk, he grins at me through the pain, as the world appears around us again.
“Leave Gods!” One of the men standing to the side yells at us, Ark looks around with a sad look on his face and he vanishes. I vanish to Raven, I look around at the small town and all the people walking around going about their business, until someone notices me and everyone bows to me.
“I am looking for a silver eyed girl.” I say to them. “She is my demigod reincarnated.” I say when I see someone shift nervously, she stands up and looks at me with a grin. I motion her to me and she runs through the bowing people to me.
“Thank you, Goddess Morrigan. It would make me happy to serve you.” She says as her grin widens when she reaches me.
“Just do not die again, I don’t like losing my demigods.” I say to her with a smile as I touch her forehead, the void appears around us and I offer my hand to her, she takes it as my eyes glow. I watch as the memories flood her mind, she collapses to the floor as she deals with the pain of dying. The world returns around us as I help her to her feet, she smiles and hugs me, I hug her tightly as we vanish to Ark’s mansion where the Gods have gathered.
I let go of her as I look around at the Gods assembled in the dining hall, I do not see Emnos. I motion to Dhuna and he runs over to me. “Where is Emnos?” I ask him quietly.
“He claimed Cu Chulainn, they are planning on attacking Satan.” He says quietly to me, anger ignites in me as I gather magic and I summon them both, I hear their screams as they appear in front of me. I block them from vanishing as I glare down at them on their knees, they both look up at me in pain. I feel the anger take over me as I watch them.
“Satan is strong enough to kill you both without using more than one ability.” My voices echoes through the mansion as I glare down at them, Emnos looks up at me as tears form in his eyes, Cu Chulainn glares at me. “You two are stuck her until he is dead.” My voice echoes as I glare at them, Emnos stands with anger in his eyes.
“Why should you take this on by yourself?” He asks me angrily as a tear runs down his face.
“I will have my demigods.” I say to him.
“Claim me.” Cu Chulainn says from his knees, I glare down at him.
“I disowned you.” My voice echoes again as I summon Macha to my side. “Dhuna, I will call you when I am done. Bring your twin.” I say angrily as I let the anger go.
“Yes, Morrigan.” He says quietly, as I grab Macha and Babd, and we vanish. The forest outside the castle appears around us.
You two better listen to my words carefully, or I will be very angry and I will force you to follow what I say. If you feel Satan building up magic inside him, vanish do not stay. Be careful when fighting him his blade vanishes and strikes, he also summons Baobhan and skeletal soldiers. Stay out of range of his claws and fangs as well.
Yes, Goddess Morrigan.
Yes, Goddess Morrigan.
We need to draw him out of the castle, he has all the power here. Any ideas?
I could tell him you need to see him about his demigod.
Good idea, Macha. Bring him to us.
Yes, Goddess Morrigan.
Macha vanishes as Babd and I walk further into the forest to wait, I look over at her as she smiles at me. “Why did you go with the Gods to attack?” I ask her.
“We heard that he was attacking the mansion, trying to break down the barrier to get in to you. So, we arrived and attacked him. We almost killed him and then he turned into that deranged creature and ripped through us.” She says quietly, I see fear in her eyes.
“When he does it let him focus on me.” I say quietly to her and she nods. “If at any point in the fight you think you might die, vanish.” I say to her and she frowns at me. “No arguments, just do it.” She nods as my words bind her.
“Are you going to come out this alive, Goddess Morrigan?” She asks me.
“I hope to, I have a war to fight afterwards.” I say with a grin and she laughs, we look over as we feel Macha appear, Satan frowns at me.
“Why are we here, Morrigan?” He asks me as Macha returns to my side.
“Would you be angry if I said that the Gods are currently trying to destroy Carnage’s stone?” I ask him as I block him from vanishing, he glares at me.
“Yes, I would be angry. That is my Creator.” He says angrily as he watches me.
“I am tired of her creature’s killing humans, and being told there is nothing to be done about it. So, I am getting rid of her.” I say to him, I feel Gods appearing behind him. I see Beelzebub, Python, Berith and four of the Gods I have not met yet.
“That sounds like a breach of agreement, Morrigan.” Satan says as he glares at me. “I had hoped to keep our meetings civilized.” He says as he steps towards me.
“You are not a bad God, Satan. You just fight for the wrong side; I wish this didn’t have to happen.” I say to him with a sad smile.
“How you feel about fighting me, means nothing when you are starting this fight.” He says as he gathers his power around him.
Focus on the extra Gods, I will keep his attention. I will help you when I see an opening.
Yes, Goddess.
Yes, Goddess.
I run towards Satan as the soldiers and the Baobhan appear, Macha and Babd running along beside me to break off to fight the Gods at his side. I ignite the soldiers, as I fight off the Baobhan, I see Satan swing the sword down at me I turn and move back letting it decapitate the Baobhan jumping at me. I feel pain through the link I glance over to see Macha bleeding from her arm, I vanish and appear behind Beelzebub as I swing my sword cutting him in half. I run back to Satan and the Baobhan as they run after me, I cut through the Baobhan who reaches me first, I vanish appearing further from Macha and Babd to keep them away. I watch as they change direction to chase after me, I cut through one and decapitate the other of the Baobhan as they reach me.
I see him summoning more of them as I feel fangs dig into my arm, I hold up my arm and decapitate her, I run to Satan as I throw my sword at him aiming for his heart. He grabs a Baobhan and lifts her into the way of the blade, I slice through a Baobhan on my way to him as I call the sword back to me. I feel the magic warn me of something behind me, I jump to the side as I turn to see one of the Gods, I had not met yet engulfed in fire swinging a sword at me. I block her sword the fire runs up my sword toward my hand, I spin away from her as I throw a sword at her, she moves just in time for it to impale her shoulder.
I feel the magic warn me about danger from behind me as I see a Baobhan leap and grab my arms, I watch her sink her teeth into my shoulder, I drop my weight to the ground dragging her with me. I roll back over her and hold her up for the fire God’s sword to impale her, I drop her as I call my sword back to me as I swing the other at the God, the sword flies into my hand as I feel fangs sink into my arm and neck. Babd appears behind me and shoves her spear through both of them, before vanishing again, I feel fire burning my hands as I shove my sword against the fire Gods blade unbalancing them as I shove my other sword through their heart.
I turn back to Satan to see him fighting Macha, I throw my sword at him he moves while fighting her for it to shred through his side. He looks back at me with that deranged smile and runs at me, as Berith charges at me from the right side with a smirk on his face, I change direction running to the left, I turn as I jump throwing my other sword at Berith he dodges as it flies past his head. I call my swords as I hit the ground on my back, Berith pounces on top of me as he raises his dagger, I see Satan running to us as the grin widens, I feel the swords land in my hands I shove one through Berith as I feel the daggers pierce my sides. I vanish as I ignore the pain, Macha appears behind me and pulls them out sending more pain shooting through me as I watch Satan run towards me.
I see an opening in his attack as he runs towards me as his mouth grows wider across face, I look over at Macha and Babd fighting the remaining Gods.
Get Emnos and Dhuna as soon as you kill them.
Yes, Goddess.
Yes, Goddess.
I let my swords vanish and raise my hands slightly above my shoulder as I watch him jump at me, I feel the ground under me as I hit it hard, he quickly lowers his head to my neck and bites down, I feel his claws dig into my sides ripping flesh off me as he drains the blood out of me. The swords appear in my hands and I move them quickly cutting his head off, I look over at Macha and Babd as they cut through the remaining two Gods. Macha looks over at me as Babd vanishes, she runs over to me kneeling, I feel her hands on my neck trying to stop the bleeding she looks down at me with fear in her eyes.
I feel Babd appear, I see Emnos and Dhuna running to me as I let the swords vanish, I feel the magic from them surge into me before they reach me. I look up at the sky watching it turn red, the sun vanishes from the sky to be replaced by an abnormally white moon. I feel someone else appear as I watch the sky turn redder, Cu Chulainn’s face appears above me.
“Fomorians.” He says to me, I smile at him, he frowns.
“She seems to be holding on better this time.” Dhuna says as he focuses on healing me.
“I put my swords away so I wouldn’t try to decapitate anyone.” I whisper, feeling pain shoot through my throat where Satan bit me, they laugh as I feel the wounds on my sides closing. “Do I have time to sleep?” I whisper to Cu Chulainn, I see hesitation in his eyes. “Make him tell me the truth, Emnos.” I whisper.
“Tell her the truth.” Emnos says quietly.
“No, what will appear first is just minutes away. As soon as the moon reaches the peak in the sky, if the generals are alive, the first will arrive with his army.” Cu Chulainn says as he glares down at me.
“Why did you let Emnos claim you?” I whisper.
“To save you from yourself.” He says angrily.
“Heal my demigods, I need them please.” I say as I feel the wounds on my throat close up, he nods as he frowns, I feel the magic leave me, I start to sit up for Emnos and Dhuna to push me back down.
