There was no way we were going to just sit back and allow Nyx to call all of the shots. Zayn, Tunji, Themis, My mother, My father, and our immediate relatives sat in the war room. I had spent the last 72 hours reading up on all of the abilities and tricks Nyx could pull on us, and it was time to present the royals with my plan. I sat at the head of the table with my mother and father sitting at opposite sides of me, the people whispered at the presence of my reunited family but I shrugged it off we had immediate business to attend to.
"I've gathered you all here today to discuss our plans, as you can already guess this is classified information and all further information stays in this room" I start glaring across the room.
The room falls into silence immediately after that, all eyes are trained on me. It seems like they understand that this was serious business.
"Legend of Nyx is a long one so I'll spare us all the story, but what we all need to know is that they are the original worshipers of Ahriman and they have gifts bestowed by him that our beyond our imagination"
The room breaks out again into conversation, I raise my hand effectively silencing them again.
"Such as ?" Zayn drawls
Gods I wish I could slap that smug smile off of his face.
"Complete destruction of your souls, no reincarnation. They can revoke your magic easily, and cause mass extermination of us all in mere seconds with one utterance from their lips." I reply
Gasps echo throughout the room, wives shaking their husbands in fear and men watching me stoically already assuming their fate.
Themis's eyes begin to well up and Tunji holds her hands, softly whispering reassurances to her. My mother covers her mouth and looks to my father to confirm, he slowly nods.
"We're going to die, all of us because of you" Zayn shrieks
Some of our relatives feed into his words and begin nodding amongst themselves foolishly.
"It was bound to happen, do you think I would be the only Eclipsian child? Tunji is another example of one, think of how many others are in hiding." I growl," I just happen to be the only known one with powers, this is what Nyx wants they were the original worshipers of Ahriman and Hemera but they were never gifted with the powers of life and death. Instead, they are damned to be our enforces while we had all the power."
"So they turned their backs against the Gods and went their own way?" Tunji's sister asks.
I shake my head, they were angry, not foolish. Nyx knew they had power on earth but against their makers, they would surely fail.
"They would follow what the gods demanded but with their own set of separate rules. Their one rule from the gods was to make sure that neither Celestia nor Pyros became stronger than the other -that we should live in harmony. But they decided they would call the shots and reigned terror on both countries to enforce their dominance. To show us that they were the true disciples of the Gods."
"So what do we do with all this information" someone at the far end of the table calls.
