My God

My God 5 )

Carla POV:

It had been two days living with Enas, the proclaimed god of magic and I was blushing and becoming a blubbering mess.
But I could hold a convo so that's a bonus.

"Working today?" He asks as I come out of the room in my oversized Game of Thrones t shirt.

"Nah. It's the weekend." I shrug, sitting next to him on the couch.
He smiles at me and I notice he is wearing a light blue button up t shirt with black slacks. Pretty casual attire considering it's Enas.

A massive strike of lightning sends him standing up quicker than I've ever seen.
"What? Scared of a little lightning?" I smirk.

His terrified expression makes that smirk disappear.
"I'm not too fond of storms" he mumbled, rubbing his bare arms.

"Well how about we play a game instead?" Enas looked at me and brushed some hair behind my ear.

"I've got something for you" he said instead, my flushed cheeks made him smirk and he grabbed my arm, yanking me to his room.

"This crystal belonged to my mother, Queen Malika. She was the most incredible warrior and Queen of Yaldvir... I want you to keep it. As a reminder of me" I frown but take the crystal anyway.
We both sit down on his new rug and I inspect it some more.

It was a moonstone with white rope around it, very intricate and beautiful.
"It's gorgeous" I say as he fastens it around my neck.

"There is no way you are the god of magic. I just can't wrap my head around it at all." Enas seems taken back by that comment but laughs lightly and stands to his feet.

"You wouldn't say that if you knew my entire story"

"So tell me" I plead, kneeling so I can reach his arm.
His eyes go dark for a moment. Not as in he is thinking about something, more like actual dark dark. Physically darker.

What the hell?

"I don't want to discuss it. Just please keep that on you at all times okay?"

"Alright.." I let go of his arm and sink to the floor.
He notices my upset behaviour and sits on the floor again.

"Look. I've made a lifetime of choices which has led to nothing but losing it all. I escaped a really hard place to escape and came here looking for salvage. I am the God of magic from Yaldvir. My father is Salo and my brother is Ignis, god of fire. Its who I am. You can't change that about me" I was astonished.
Did he really believe he was.. was he the god of magic... a prince of a strange realm, one of six?

"But I'm wanting to change and that change starts with you protecting that necklace. I can guarantee Ignis is on his way now to kick me back to Yaldvir and torture me.
I need you to be safe.
I need you with me.
You're the only person who understands me"

My heart actually breaks as he says this.
Was it true that he was the god of magic?
Did he really believe those words?
Holy crap. Am I really his only friend?

"I can't tell if you're lying about this whole Yaldvir, god and prince thing" I say slowly.
He stands up again, running his hand through his thick black hair and stands a few steps away from me whilst I continue to sit on the floor.

"Don't hate me okay? I'm only showing you what you ask of me" he whispers the last part and I feel my heart skip.

Right before my eyes the Enas who was wearing his usual attire was now covered head to toe in black and gold.
He had a golden cape around his neck with a black latex outfit with black boots and a green moon embroidered in the centre of his outfit.
He had golden cuffs and in his hand was a golden sceptre, a moon with a levitating green crystal in the centre.

"I..you...what.." he looks at me with those green eyes and smiles.

"You're a good person Carla which is why I had no problem showing you. I won't hurt you or anyone on earth. My anger is focused purely on my brother."

"Would you hurt your brother?" I ask standing up to touch his cape.

He lets me feel the golden materials collar and I wonder if it's heavy.
He grabs my wrist and stares at me intently.

"Know this Carla. I may be kinder these days and I may not want to hurt you or your realm but my rage is the only thing to be trusted when it comes to my family." His words burn a hole through my heart.

I knew exactly how he felt.
I felt the same towards my family.
"Would you take over Yaldvir?"

"It is my birthright" he says, nodding.
I smile.

"I guess no one really prepares you for the future. Youre told one thing you're entire life but then it's taken from you and it's called fairness. You deserve better than to be cast out. In all honesty I'm so surprised, I'm scared and shocked. You're an actual mystic arts master. What is this? A comic book? Jesus. I just don't understand what's going on, all I know is that you've shown me nothing but kindness. I believe you when you say you deserve the throne, I believe you when you say your family has betrayed you because that's my life." I say cupping his face as his hand drops from my wrist.

"Then I need to ask you something"

"Anything" I say honestly.
I mean, how much more can my life be Fucked up?

"It's strange but I need you to trust me"

"Considering trust is the last thing I should be giving you, you've done nothing but trust me so yes. I trust you."

"I need you to get another moonstone, replace it with the one in the necklace.. and.. crush and eat that moonstone"

"What?"

-

It was madness. Utter madness.
He had crushed the moonstone ages ago and used some spell to make me think it taste nice.
I could eat dirt right now and have it taste like gummy bears.

The weirdest thing was, I was totally okay with this.
Does that make me messed up?

I mean.. i want him to seize the throne, for him to be king, Ignis and Salo sounded exactly like assholes.
He had been honest, I can see his pain, I don't know why he got cast out but I can tell you it would be a misinterpretation.
He is literally the most misunderstood creature.

And he chose me to be his friend and trusted companion. So was I about to eat that crushed crystal that could potentially give me powers? A crystal his own mother, diseased mother, gave to him?

I collected up the shards of moonstone and with a deep breath swallowed it.
