Looking around the sun blinded the beautiful morning.
Birds sang flowers boom.

But it wasn't so beautiful inside..
Inside the dark prison that was known to keep every enemy of the old order to be in.

He sat there, chains around his neck, legs, even hands. It was dark and humid, but he got used to it by now.

The god did after all shot down 8 suns.

He pondered his deep thoughts, thinking about how he'd soon be forced to fight.. Fight against his people.. His pantheon -and his wife.

Hou yi needed to find a way to escape, a way to be with her again.

Oh how he missed her smile, her voice and her-

A sudden door slammed open broken his thoughts. "-Pitful Sun God, Are you ready to tell me of your pantheons.. Plans?" This again, he only sighed.

"I told you already."

Anhur stood impatiently by the door.
"No you didnt. C'mon Hou Yi just tell me so i can leave." And report it to Ra/Zeus, Hou yi knew that he'd do that but truth be told..

" i don't know." Hou yi spoke plain and simple, loneliness and independence in his voice. "Even if i did I sure as suns wouldn't tell you."

"I can get the 'torturer' in this room if you'd like.. I heard shes been in here plenty of times."

Hes talking about Bellona, She.. S-She can really scar people..

Hou yi wished he could just leave and reunite with his chang'e and live a happy life.

"Hou yi, I swear i will. I got a shift i got to return to, I am allowed to do whatever i want to get certain information and she is too." Anhur ready'd his spear, threateningly.

"I don---Agh!"
Cut off mid sentence hou yi had a spear pierce his adobo men.
He looked down facing his own blood trying to pull out the spear but the chains connected his wrists to the wall, preventing arm movement.

Anhur just starred almost with a look of pity but he turned his head, "sense you wont tell me expect her to be here shortly." With that the door was slammed shut.
-----------------------
"...." His eyes opened slowly, he was in a place filled with white silk around everywhere, not the prison but he was surrounded by weave.

"Can i ask you some questions?" A female voice said.

"..Ugh" The gaping hole that was once with a spear in it was gone, it looked repaired, stitched up like someone had weaved it to fix it.

"What do you care about most?"

"Cha-- nn-- gg aah-" Blood was spat from the mouth of hou yi trying to say his loved one's name.

"Say it more clearly, I know you were bleeding but its fine now." He could see the goddess more clearly but he guessed over time who had fixed him.

"Chang'e." He said proudly.

Hou yi looked at the weaver goddess, Neith god of many things but she is.. Egyptian..?"

"Neith wait why did you help me..?"

"I dont believe in whats happening, I cant save you but i can fix your wounds, you will soon return back to the prison.." She said

"Im sorry." Neith said with tears of fate in her eyes. She wanted to save everyone.

But before hou yi could say anything he returned back in the same position he was in. Sitting down, chains, and missing his wife. But neith also gave him a memory of fate, the weaver of fate gave him something to keep believing he will see his beloved and they will reunited.

"Thank you."

"Your partner indeed will be Xing tian, he will be partaking the battle in the arena with you, Chang'e." Nu wa smiled while speaking.

"The whole team will be You (Chang'e), Xing tian, Loki, Odin, and Xbalanque."

Chang'e felt the need to ask, "Odin im guessing is going to be the leader sense he does lead the elysian uprising?"

"Yes, I'd go but we need to have defense for the heavens."

"Do you know of the team we will be fighting?" Chang'e asked.

"They announced it recently and mercury the roman messenger had sent me the letter, one moment." Nu wa got the message and read it aloud.

"Dear Elysian Uprising, The arena match hosted today will have 2 teams. You must assign your team and sent it in as soon as you can. The team to represent the old order will be," She starts to read out the list and the caption.
"Bellona - Roman Goddess of War
Ares - Greek God of War
Zeus - Greek god of thunder
Kali - Hindu goddess of destruction
Ho---Wait what?!"
Nu wa eyes grew big in confusion.

"What?" Chang'e looked towards the letter, where she had been reading.

The letters seem to be so noticeable,
"Hou yi - Chinese god of the sun."
Read clear as day.
