SACRIFICE TO THE MOON (Completed) #Wattys2020

CHAPTER 42

Freya leisurely rambled towards Waya's room, she could have walked faster but she decided against it for she had consumed a great deal of  time adorning herself.
When she grabbed hold of Waya's door knob, her heart raced.
She pushed open the door and the sight she met enraged her.
For Ziana was nude in Waya's bed with his cloth draped over herself.
Intense jealousy ran through her spine Freya's spine, on the sight of the grand commander, Ziana scampered to her feet.
Freya quietly watched the girl as she attempted to cover her privates.
Freya fought to keep her annoyance in check before speaking.
"You are relived from your position as hand maid to the prince".
There was a look of horror on Ziana's face. Satisfied, Freya turned to leave but Ziana's words stopped her in her tracks.
"You are in love with him aren't you?" Ziana accused.
Slowly, Freya turned to face the girl.
"Don't deny it, news of he and you at the war hall has gotten to me"
Freya resisted the urge to break the girl's bones.
"But know this" Ziana continued "I will never let you take him away from me".
Freya gave off a wicked smirk.
"Can't I? You are to immediately report to your new job in the nursery as a nanny and if you ever come a mile close to Waya again, I will personally see to your brutal demise".
Freya left Waya's room with a huge grin spread across her face.
She shut the door and spun to her mild surprise to find Waya standing behind her.
" When did you get here?" Freya asked with authority
"I just did" Waya replied puzzled.
"Did you hear anything?" Freya enquired further.
"Is there anything I should know?" Waya returned, his curiousity peaking.
Satisfied Waya wasn't privy to the exchange between herself and Ziana, she proceeded to drag the god prince away.
She led him to North of the moon to a deserted area.
"Am curious about something" Freya began once they settled.
"Which is?" Waya replied with a smile.
"Why haven't you attempted to kiss me since the.."
"Incident at my parents grave" Waya finished for her.
Freya nodded softly.
"I wasn't sure how u'd take it" Waya admitted.
Freya couldn't help laughing.

Ziana waited until the goddess' gave permission for her to be allowed into the throne room.
Meekly but with resolve, Ziana strode into Athena's throne room.
Athena cast a look at the girl causing Ziana to tremble slightly.
With a great deal of fear, Ziana bowed in reverence to the goddess.
Athena acknowledged the salutation with a brief nod before speaking.
"You asked to see me child".
Ziana gulped saliva and just as she had intended, she poured out her heart to the goddess, about her love and Freya's love for Waya, everything.
Athena was enraged.
Waya said something humorous and sat back to watch Freya laugh with such flair.
He was about to lean into and kiss her when she vanished.
There was only two people on the moon who could perform such a feat, he was one and the other was Athena.
Perhaps Athena wanted her for some military strategy, so he decided to hike to the palace despite his many options.
Freya apparited in Athena's throne room only to find the goddess seething.
When she scanned the room, to her utter shock, she found Ziana on the ground unconscious.
She needed not be told Ziana's presence had something to do with her summon.
"You summoned me my goddess" Freya began.
"You whore" Athena roared, vibrating the walls of the throne room in the process.
