To Kill A Kingdom | ACOTAR ✔️

Chapter 16 - "Do you want revenge?

It had already been three days since the Wall had been destroyed, and all of the Fey were still in their respective kingdoms as Tattoon would not march for Prythian without Angevin, who were being delayed by the water Fey, who were having difficulties in being able to actually walk on land with their new legs. Though, they had all been working hard in helping.

A battle had already been fought just the day previous in the Summer Court - with the Night Court's fighters aiding them. Though, she had heard that they had won easily, so it was no worry of theirs.

Though, word was that the water Fey were very close to mastering how to walk on land, and Evette believed them.

It took them an extra day - and once they had managed this, it was time for them to jump into action. And Evette was growing more and more full of energy at the prospect of possibly coming to meet with her aunt once more - because it was her unspoken job to kill her.

She would not leave her mother to kill her own sister, after all.

And so, she needed to ensure she never tired in this war - she needed to be her most powerful when facing her aunt. Which was why Evette had decided to call upon the Old Gods to meet with her at the front bridge to the castle, as everyone around her bustled about for what they were about to sail towards.

It took them just a few moments to come to her, and she turned to face them all. Though, only Osiris and Leocadia stood there. "I am...I have become an Old God." Evette told them slowly, knowing it was the first time she had even admitted it out loud. "I stand where Lyssa once stood...tell me, what was she the Goddess of? Who was she? What are my powers?"

"Lyssa was once The Sister - the Goddess of Justice. Of Revenge. Of Fury." Osiris informed her. "Prayed to for the means to enact revenge, for strength to follow through with their rage-filled plans, and to hold onto their rage, to have justice - most often justice taken by their own terms and means. You are now the Goddess people turn to in their most desperate and delirious states - the ones who have their minds consumed by the need for revenge...they come to you."

"The Sister is the only Goddess who has varying powers - which is exactly why you were able to keep your own Fey powers." Leocadia informed her. "But on top of those...you will have Invulnerability Bestowal - you can bestow people the means they need to get their revenge done. It includes placing protections over people so they don't die while enacting revenge."

"An example, they could get their head amputated clean off, and they'd simply pick it up, reattach it, and then get back into their desire for revenge. And even after their desire for it is over, they still remain alive." Osiris added in. "You have the ability to put a pause upon mortality because whether you're immortal or mortal...you can still die in way. You can put a stop to that, on anyone. Any being. So they can follow through with what they need."

"You can also bestow your own powers temporarily on people to further help for their revenge - their justice." Leocadia added in. "Lyssa also had this other power that involved energy - no one was ever sure why...but based on your Empath powers...it'll make it so much powerful."

"The working theory is that as an Empath with such a power...you may be able to use the energy of emotions to fuel you're manipulation of energy." Osiris explained. "Much like the Empath power of using the emotions to fuel yourself. Where the emotions can empower you - this should work the same."

"It's unclear on how to even access that power though." Leocadia shrugged.

Evette nodded her head slowly as her brain began to think up of ways as to how she could use these new powers to her advantage. And, almost as if they could read her mind, they looked to her gravely.
