Royally Scandalous

"Captain Magnus, I'm afraid their ships have surrounded ours," I alert the rebellious goddess, "The total amount of ships under his command have doubled, I'm guessing the goddess of reality has something to with this. Or he may have just gotten more ships-"

"Unfortunately, Grayson, it's the latter. Gwendolyn has been helping him increase, not only the number of ships under his command but also their size," Captain Magnus stands, her red cape swaying at the motion. "No problem, we'll just retreat. Gwen's power is limited in a domain other than her own."

"Understood, Captain," I salute before ordering our ships to retreat. "W-wait, they've got us surrounded, how are we going to retreat?"

"Whoops, silly me," Captain Magnus chuckles nervously, "I have no idea."

Are you kidding me? We can't just sit here and watch their ships claim victory over ours.

Just then, a brilliant idea snaps into my mind.

I begin to release an immense amount of magic energy, every single one of our ships shrinking just enough to escape their trap.

"A brilliant idea, Grayson, I'm proud of you!" Captain Magnus ruffles my hair. I smile with pride, I feel like I just won some kind of award!

Each god or goddess is allowed to pick a kid who they feel has potential. They are taught Magic to fight by their god's side or help them with duties. And I am proud to announce that Cosette Magnus, the time goddess, has chosen the one... The only... ME!

"Er... Gray?" She hesitates to tap my shoulder. I realize I was grinning widely from ear to ear with pride.

My face hurts...

"Dude, you just zoned out, what's going on inside that head of yours?"

"Sorry, I uh... Was thinking about... Things..."

"Okay, you can resume 'thinking about things' after you turn my ships back to normal. Actually, make them bigger, Donovan will be pissed!"

"Yes, ma'am," I undo the spell I had cast on the ships and instead make them slightly bigger. "I presume the others will notice the change in the ships' sizes. I guess I'll have to inform them right away-"

"Nah, they'll just figure it out themselves. Besides, I'm sure they sensed your Magic energy, you seriously didn't have to release that much. I'm guessing it was to show off?" As the words poured out of her mouth, I couldn't help but blush in embarrassment.

I avoid her emerald eyes, "Yeah, yeah, you caught me, big deal!" Do you sense the sarcasm?

"Anyway, enough of that, I'm gonna go eat some candy from my secret stash, hidden under my bed where no one will-" She covers her mouth quickly to stop any more words from falling out.

A small smirk plays my lips, "Good to know." Knowing I'll get a lecture about how I can't tell anyone else whatsoever, I bolted out of the control room before she could say anything.

"GRAYSON ELIAS CYBILL, I SWEAR I WILL KILL YOU IF YOU TELL ANYONE ELSE!" The captain calls warningly.

"No, you won't!" I called back.

You may be thinking, "well, she's the goddess of time, why not just turn back time and not say that? Stupid."

Well since this isn't her domain, she doesn't have an unlimited amount of energy like the god this domain belongs to Donovan Perez, the god of space. And casting time spells drains much of her power. But because of the natural magic energy in the air, her body begins to slowly draw in the particles. But this still isn't very helpful.

Another reason she left was that she doesn't have a domain! She demanded her own domain but they refused to give her one!

Again, you may be thinking that she's the time goddess, she doesn't exactly have a domain. That may be true but then why is the goddess of reality's domain the heavens? It makes absolutely no sense! She was unfairly treated and I would have done the same exact thing if I were in her shoes.

The five main gods are Cosette Magnus, goddess of time, Gwendolyn Norwood, goddess of reality, Donovan Perez, god of space, Harper Nevada, goddess of the human mind and soul, and Dashiell Carlyle, god of power and leader of the gods.

As you know, each of them have a helpful person by their side; Cosette has me, Gwendolyn has a young dragon slayer by the name of Iris Smith, Donovan has Dexter Ace, Harper has her younger brother Colton Nevada (the eldest sibling becomes the official god or goddess), and Dashiell has his daughter Mckenzie Carlyle.

Gwendolyn, as you know, rules the heavens for some reason, Donovan obviously rules space, Harper's domain is understandably Earth, and Dashiell's domain is the underworld. Since Cosette doesn't have a place to claim her own, she is instantly allowed into every other domain while the others have to get permission to enter it. She only has an unlimited amount of magic energy in the realm of the gods which she swore she will never return to.

It's not just because she was treated unfairly, she got punished... For saving the kids of Rosemary Village from an evil cult. In fact, the majority of people on her ships were kids from Rosemary who sided with her.

I am one of those kids.
