Lovely passing

{Chapter 1. Locking and Knocking}

Inanna Aofire
"Father! What's happened!? The other Gods and Goddess rushed me here!"

My father grabs my robes and pulls me to him very roughly.

"Inanna there is a war broken out. You are not to leave your room until the war is over. I will cast a spell to make it to where no one.. no one at all can get in."

"Father! Slow down! War between whom!? Why can't I help!?"

"We don't have time sweetheart! You know I care for you, you know I love you, but you are a mere young woman. You don't have the strength!"

"The young men get to fight! I'm a Goddess I'm powerful!"

"Not this time..we might not win this time."

"...father we Gods are life itself. We made everything! How could we not win!"

"We didn't make demons..."

"But we are stronger than demons!"

"Inanna! Our front angel soldiers have been killed! There are now demons overpowering angels! The Gods are confused this has never happened! I need you to be safe so please corporate and go to your room!"

"...I can fight! I promise I'll be safe! If angels are really dying then everyone has to fight!"

"Sweetheart," my father gets on one knee to get to my height, "I love you.....which is why you cannot fight."

I suddenly don't feel the soft clouds beneath my feet anymore.

"..father what are you.."

I suddenly fly backwards to my door.

"Father no! Please father, please!"

The door flings open and I get thrown at my wall.

It takes me a while to open my eyes and then I hurriedly get up and run to the door but before I can get out the door shuts and I slam into the door.

I try to open the door but it's locked. I figure I will put a spell on it to open it but my magic doesn't work.

"Father! Father hear me please! You can't keep me like this! How am I supposed to live like this!?"

I hear a deep cracky voice through the door. Almost as if a man was on the verge of tears.

"You're not alive."
🩷********************🩷
30 years later

I wake up. The room that used to be sparkly with beautiful roses and clear water was now gone.

Replaced with dead flowers, disgusting water and dirt all over the walls

I guess that is my fault. I had the resources to keep clean. I think I just went insane.

The mortal realm must be a mess. Less water from Lord Edmare, so a massive drought. Also no food from Hunting God, Dathime.

I start humming to myself.

I hear a loud knocking sound. I rush to my door but....the spell is still there. I start to hear scratching sounds also.

I look around. It's not coming from the door...

"Fwip"

I turn quickly to the sound but no one is there..?

I walk to the place of the sound.

"Who's there!?!"

"Click"

I turn to the sound again.

"I said who is there!? How could you even come in!? I've tried for years to break the barrier but never have I gotten close!"

I realize I have been talking to myself like a mad woman so I quickly stop.

Maybe it was just in my head?

"Swish, swish, clank, clank, clank."

I try to ignore the sounds, covering my ears and closing my eyes hard, when suddenly I feel a hand on my arm.

I scream loudly, very loudly.

I open my eyes and see..a demon.

"You! You! Get away, get away!"

The demon doesn't let go, only hold tighter.

"Nasty, nasty, nasty demon! Here to curse me!? Here to kill me!?"

"Look around you. You are the disgustful one here. And I live in hell."

I start kicking, and wailing, screaming and squirming.

"Calm down, you might hurt yourself."

"Better than dying from a demon! My soul will be dirty full!"

"Who said I was here to kill you?"

"..you are not?"

"I am."

A smirk gets pasted onto her Snow White skin.

I start screaming and crying and kicking and squirming.

"Well..I was."
