Evergreen world

Chapter 7

Deity palace

The palace of the deity's was home to the most powerful beings in the world, their palace was high in the sky far away from mortals eyes. At the front where beauty golden gates that stood tall and strong, surrounding the main building was a huge and majestic garden that was filled with many plants and flowers both magical and non-magical.

The palace itself looked to be pure white on the outside with Emerald's as the accent and roofs, a small forest area surrounded the entire outside of the palace as well giving the whole place a more human-like look to show that the deities themselves are still attached to the mortal's and their realm.

The whole palace seemed to be quiet as if the deities inside did not exist at all, among the halls and the many rooms laid inside the deity's present where all gathered in one place.
"This has gone on long enough!"
A voice came from the meeting room a place where all the deities sat around a large round table, they all seemed to be arguing with one another, every seat was filled but one.

"Please calm down all of you."
An old woman stood at the head on the table, she stood up and looked around at everyone present.
We mustn't take such terrible actions, you all know the rules!" She stated.
"But Asoka, Shade has interfered with the mortal's for far too long! If this keeps up all life as we know it will cease to exist!"
"Silence Shirus! You of all people should know that the time will come when everything will be set right, as the deity of balance it's my job to guide and lead you all......"
A dark cackle filled the room as shadows grew darker, the doors flung open as shade walked in with a sickening grin on his face.

"Are you all talking about little old me?" He asked, sitting down in his chair.
"Glad you could finally join us shade, we were actually about to talk about the incoming war." Asoka replied. As she headed back to her seat.
"War is just war to me, let the mortals fight." Another deity said
She had fiery red hair and was wearing war armor. "War is part of my job."
"Yes Marciana, we are very aware." Shade replied rather annoyed.

She growled in annoyance at him and narrowed her eyes.
"The point it to keep the balance Lunacrest Evergreen must win." Asoka said
"Yes that is something we can all agree on for sure." Shade replied.
A black tendril rose from the ground and it was dripping black ooze as he seemed to be playing with it, the other's watched him in either confusion or worry.
"Yes, now we all know we can't affect the mortals to much. But we can do what we must."
They all nodded in agreement, shade rolled his eyes leaning back in his chair.
"We get it old hag." Shade said with a sly smirk.
Asoka gave him a look as others started to slowly file out, Shirus the deity of time stayed behind with shade and Asoka.
"Shirus, please tell me that this war won't last long." Asoka asked
" do you know I won't be able to give you any details, but I can say that it will be done by the end of the year." He stood up as his time staff glowed softly.

"Good."
"And why do you care Asoka? War is war. In the end the balance will change and we can't do anything about it." Shade replied
"I know but this needs to fix the balance or all we know will be lost."
"Let the mortals fight, just means more sorrow and despair will come my way and more power as well." He said grinning wildly.

Shirus looked at Asoka then shade.
"Why don't you go and rest Asoka?"
She nodded softly and walked past the both of them and out of the room, Shirus had his back turned to shade again as he was readjusting his eyepatch. Shade silently rushed over to him with a crept deep growl and tendrils raised up around them trying to scare the other deity.

"Nice try shade, I saw it coming." Shirus smirked and looked back at him.
"You're no fun, now tell me what awaits in my future?" He joked.
"You know I can't tell you." He said, crossing his arms.
"Then I'll go and bother your follower."
Shirus growled softly and turned to look at him.
"Do not drag Panthea into this shade, she has enough to deal with at the moment." He said
