SACRIFICE TO THE MOON (Completed) #Wattys2020

CHAPTER 48

Ra placed his palm over Waya's head and released power causing the young god to heal.
Waya took a moment to assess the god of the sun.
He had the body of the man and the head of a falcon with a solar disk around his head.
His clothing were made of mineral Waya had never seen before.
Just standing next to him and Waya could feel the power radiating from him.
Waya fell to the ground in obeisance.
"It is an honor to be in your presence" Waya began.
Ra regarded Waya for a moment before speaking.
"A god who offers respect deserves it in return.
You are welcome to my ferry, I know why u've come but I cannot help you".
Waya expected resistance from the god of the sun, to that effect, he had prepared a speech.
"If you don't help me, Poseidon will wipe out thousands of inhabitants on the moon and thousands more of my townsmen"
Ra was steadfast in his resolve.
"Egyptians gods cannot interfere in the affairs of the Olympian gods. Am sorry child, I cannot help you".
"Really you say you care not for what happens to the people under the rulership of the Olympians but each and everyday you illuminate the sun for everyone irrespective of gender, tribe or race.
If you don't help me, I'll go down on my own, fight Poseidon and loose and everyone who gets killed from there on out will be your fault".
The kraken was a giant octopus, the oldest creature of the sea and ofcourse Poseidon's personal pet.
The kraken was the embodiment of the wrath of the sea.
So powerful was the creature that even minor gods fled from its presence.
This was the creature Poseidon decided to unleash on the city of Malabour.
Atlas walked into his father's dungeon with twelve of his best warrior mermaids.
"Take her" he ordered.
Instantly, the warriors unchained a weary Athena and bundled her out of the dungeon.
All which was left was Atlas and thousands of women who gazed at him with pleading eyes.
He gulped saliva as Poseidon's orders echoed in his head.
"Kill them all".
With his powers, he conjured blades from thin air, each for a woman.
He could have murdered them with just a flick of his wrist but he couldn't.
No matter how hard he tried to obey his father and become a ruthless murderer, he just couldn't.
Instead of killing them, he broke their bounds and proceeded to teleport them to Malabour.
Just then, Shuruban closely followed by Orion stormed the dungeon.
"What have you done" Shuruban cried.
Atlas turned to Shuruban with a straight face.
"I will never prey on the weak".
Shuruban laughed devilishly.
"I always knew you were weak and I tried to make Poseidon see but Orion always covered up well for you but now, I have enough evidence to have your life terminated by the god emperor.
Shuruban was about to march out of the dungeon when Orion stabbed him with the rib of Cronus, killing him instantly.
"Atlas watched in horror as Shuruban's body fell to the ground in a heap.
"What madness has overtaken you" Orion bellowed.
