My God

My God 8 )

I didn't understand a thing.
One moment I'm at home, sulking and drinking around pubs, thinking about how happy my family is without me and that I was the successful black sheep.
The next moment I'm offering my spare bed to a total stranger who is so unbelievable attractive who also happens to be a god.
Not just any god, the god of magic. Enas.

Now not only that but we connected really well, he was hurt, in pain, struggling and wanting to be loved and I gave him that. I understood him. I thought he'd be glad I was going to get him out of the dungeons so we could have our own room in the palace, love and grow together.
He was so different, he brought me to a new world, hated on me.

Now? Now I'm stuck in a beautiful room, a prisoner, my heart shattered and powers flowing through my veins, being triggered on my emotions so it's easy to say I've really messed up this room.

Ignis walks into the room, his long hair pulled back in a plait and he wore a black robe with the Yaldvir symbol as a clip to hold the robe up.

"I don't mean to impose. I have some news" he said carrying a tray of food.
I didn't say anything, I just stared at my hands which were in my lap.
I had exchanged my clothes for a silk dress with gold sandals, my hair in a braid.

"Look, Carla" Ignis started, placing the tray on the beside table.
He sat next to me and smiled sadly.

"Enas and I used to fight all the time. It's just what we did as brothers. He was stubborn, short tempered and did what he pleased. As the god of magic in this realm.He thought this would make him king.
He is more powerful than I but we never used our abilities on each other to a harmful extent."
I watched Ignis curiously as he continued.

"It wasn't until my father said Enas wasn't to be king, he wasn't fit for the throne, that really kicked things off. He was angry and hurt, he tried to betray and kill my father and I multiple times. He wasn't to be trusted.

My father pardoned him time after time, hoping that his anger would never put anyone else in harms way. There were times he'd try poisoning us, he's pretended to be dead four times now. It's who he is.

The one person who understood him completely was my mother.
She adored Enas.
He adored her.

She was always there for him, would help him increase his abilities, tell him to calm down and he'd listen!
She was the only one who loved him unconditionally. Not even my father, who had saved him from himself could stand him anymore.

There were.. words between my mother and father and Salo.. hit her.
Enas was furious. Like murderous.
I couldn't believe it either, I tried to get to him before Enas, to talk down to him, make him feel guilty.
Instead I ended up saving Salo's life.

He was on the brink of murdering my father when I stormed in.
We had such a great battle that the innocent civilians got injured and were scared. He destroyed the throne room, nearly half of our northern village and put seventy-two people in the hospital.
He was wanting the demise of Salo so he could take the throne as the rightful king and have our mother feel free.

He ended up killing our mother in rage."

My heart stopped. My power froze in my veins. I wasn't expecting that.

"He was banished to a different realm, a world of a prison. To which after only a few weeks- he escaped."

"And to which he came to Earth, you thought it was to create destruction out of his mourning for your mother." Ignis nodded.

"No one had realised he had stolen the moonstone of power until it was too late. When I came to Earth and found him at your apartment, I only thought the worst.
You seemed so content with him, i assumed it was a spell. My brother isn't the type to get along with people"

He looked at me and gave me a sympathetic smile, wiping a tear from my cheek.
It wasn't meant to be an intimate thing but simply a gesture of understanding.

"I'm sorry Carla Trent" He said.
My powers were rattling in my body.
It was hard to control my emotions. Especially after hearing he killed his own mother.

Oh my god.
That was the guilt. He was guilty and mourning because he killed her! Accident, on purpose, he killed her and now he is a traitor to the crown, a powerful enemy and stuck in prison. Forever.

"I'm not sure why after hearing all of that I just want to go and talk to him. Reason with him, he rejected me, used me, lied to me"

"It's his nature to lie and yet during that entire time of him yelling at you, telling you you were nothing to him. I think that was a lie. My brother hurts people but I know that somewhere deep down he just wants to be understood"
I shook my head.
How could he say that?
Why did Ignis say that?

"Why would you say that?" I ask, the power in my body made every vein glow.
It was false hope, hope to someone who used me and I let them.

"It was too good to be true. Just take me to Earth and forget I exist.." I suggest.

It was better that way, this was all too good for me. Too good to be true. It was rushed, stupid, unneeded. Enas didn't want me that much was known.

"We can't let you return to Earth. That power will destroy you. The only reason you're alive is because that power draws energy from Yaldvir. If I hadn't of gotten you here when I did. You'd be dead"

I play with the end of my braid.
I was stuck on Yaldvir. A strange realm with gods that we on earth have never heard about,  whilst the man i am apparently soulmates with rots in prison?
No. I couldn't have that.

"I just want this power gone. It is too much reminder of him. It's not fair that I am being treated like this. Let me go. I want to go"

Ignis and I stood from the end of the bed, me trying to desperately escape the room.
Ignis pulled me back and pleaded with his eyes.

"You could save Enas from himself, I can train you to be a warrior and protect this world, that power was given life on Yaldvir. We are the protecting realm, it needs to remain here. It may be merged with your soul but that means your soul is now merged here.
You no longer have a mortal life span. You can live for thousands of years. Just like Enas and I"

"I don't care how long I live, I don't care if I'm mortal. I'm not wanted by him. Why would I stay and protect these people whom I've never met?"

Ignis held me tighter as he felt the heat of the power in my body.
"Carla please. Stay. If not for Enas than for yourself. You'll never have to see him again if you don't wish, just train to control your powers before you blow another energy surge and smash the room up more.
Come on Carla, you're now part Yaldvirian. You can stay with us"

I thought about it.
The benefits could outweigh anything.
Who did I have on Earth? My mum? My sister? Certainly not.

"Fine. But I want my freaking cat" I said like a child.
Ignis laughed and let me go, bringing me in for a hug.

"Now, lets go get you some training gear" he smiled.

So maybe I won't have the man who is connected to me via soulmates but maybe I'll have a life after all, on a world that doesn't know me.

If Enas doesn't want me, Yaldvir might.
