SACRIFICE TO THE MOON (Completed) #Wattys2020

CHAPTER 5

    Orion king of Atlantis manifested from thin air in the courtyard of Alberion.
   This was mount Damavand home to the god Harsius.
   Harsius was Hephaestus's adopted son.
    The god of metal and fire begat only female children. The attempt to delegate control of the volcanoes to a lesser being forced him to adopt Harsius.
    Harsius was on his throne surrounded by his immortal guards when orion king of Atlantis barged in bow in hand.
    Harsius's guards attempted to apprehend Orion but the governor of volcanoes Harsius waved them off with a gesture of his hand.
   In combat, he knew he knew he was no match to the might of Orion the huntsman and king of Atlantis but he also knew it Zeus had forbidden gods kill each other unless by execution or through the duel of the gods.
   Orion wouldn't and couldn't hurt him that was for sure. With a smile he allowed Orion step closer.
    Orion was always in full armour made for him by his father and king of the sea and ocean Poseidon.
  It was made from the many gems only the lowest depth of the sea could provide. In his hand was his bow made of pure cosmic energy.
    With flair, he strolled down the isle of Harsius's realm.
     Harsius smiled as he disengaged his penis from the mouth of the demi goddess who was suckling on it. 
   "What brings you here " the governor of volcanoes asked rudely.
  Orion's face was as hard as the marbles of the sea.
   "You opened flouted my father Poseidon's of matching the dragons on the moon".
  Harsius knowing full well he had the backing of the god of fire and not to mention Zeus injunction of gods not killing gods, deftly rose to his feet.
    "Who does Poseidon think he is?, He expects me to march my dragons at his whim.
    Run back to your father, tell him, I Harsius governor of volcanoes does not answer to him and will never March my dragons on the moon".
   Orion smiled
  " just what I hoped you would say"
  In what seemed to be a flash, he drew the string his cosmic bow and an arrow materialized he directed it at  one of Harsius's personal guards and let the arrow fly.
   The cosmic arrow went through the guards amour like knife through butter.
   The remainder of Harsius's guards charged after the king of Atlantis and each met  the same fate.
    Defeated, Harsius attempted to teleport himself out of Damavand but Orion's was faster, with his godly speed, the hunter and king of Atlantis got to Harsius before he could completely vanish.
   Orion wrapped his hand around Harsius's throat and began to choke him.
   "You can't kill me, Zeus forbids it" Harsius rasped.
Orion smirked
    "can't I?"
From thin air, Orion produced a rib of Cronus, one of the few artifacts that could kill a god.
   One look at the rib made Harsius's godly blood run cold.
    "You really can't kill me, not unless you want to incur the wrath of Zeus"
   "You should have marched your dragons on my father's orders"
    With those words, Orion thrust the rib of Cronus into Harsius's neck causing blood to fly in all directions.
   Has godly life slipped away from Harsius he looked around expecting the presence of his foster father Hephaestus or Zeus in his uncontrollable anger but no one came.
    He kept looking until he could hold on no more and fell into darkness, into nothingness, into death.
