The Adventures of Rose Hood

Chapter 58: The Awakening

I woke up in an infirmary bed. I understood that the others would still be in a coma for a long time to come.

"Where am I?"

I could barely think. My memories... what is this place?

"Rose?"

Rose, that was my name, but who said that?

"A half-elf?"

The female half-elf looked shocked and saddened.

"Rose, do you not remember me?"

"Apologies if we were close, but I barely remember that the mortals call me Rose."

"What?"

"My name is Kala, the queen of gods. Now, where am I?"

_

"You don't remember anything?"

"No, odd dwarf."

"Huh... Celios what is this?"

Celios looked confused.

"This certainly is odd. She has awakened, but it seems that whatever bound her to the body fully rescinded."

"What are you talking about child? Since when was there someone who could bind me."

"Lady Kala, what is the last thing you remember?"

"I was just chilling in my palace, then I'm waking up here with 9 of my aspects passed out like we just fought a major battle."

"Do you not remember the 300000 years in between?"

"That long has passed? Have I been asleep that long?"

"Do you remember the name Rose Hood."

"Yes, and I know it has something to do with me, but I can't tell what."

"It's the name of the body you are in."

"I see."

Celios then turned to the dwarf and another elf before whispering.

"Lady Kala has fully awakened, while she doesn't have access to her full power, it will take some time for her to remember anything about what her shards were doing."

"Shards?"

Celios sighed and returned to me.

"Lady Kala, you were... overthrown."

"WHAT?!"

I was overthrown? How? Why?

"Did I do something wrong?"

Celios quickly stammered.

"No, m'lady, the others... including me, were jealous of you and took over."

"Then why do you stand with me now?"

"You used domination. My mind is still torn, but I am leaning more towards serving you again."

"I see, so I finally pacified you."

"Yes."

"What led up to me doing so?"

"In a rage and attempt to weaken you further I killed someone close to you."

"I see, now checking my status I see I have been forsaken, but it is lessening."

"Yes, my lady. The mortals saw you destroy me in combat and have begun worshipping you again."

"Wonderful, but who died?"
