SACRIFICE TO THE MOON (Completed) #Wattys2020

CHAPTER 49

"am sorry " Atlas apologized sincerely.
"I just couldn't do it"
Orion heaved in understanding.
"I won't always be around to protect you". Orion warned.
"I know. Do you think father will kill me?"
Orion mulled over the question for a moment before replying.
"No, you sent them to Malabour. The kraken will soon be unleashed on the city. They will all die regardless".
Upon hearing this, Atlas's heart sank.
Ra brought Waya to oldest pyramid to have even existed in Egypt, the pyramid of Giza.
He led Waya into the inner tabernacle where he positioned the young god under the "eye of Ra".
"This procedure might kill you" Ra began.
Waya scoffed.
"If I fight Poseidon in my present condition, am dead so get on with it".
Ra channelled power into the eye of Ra.
The eye of Ra in turn bestowed power on Waya.
Waya screamed in agony as his body was forced to absorb the power Ra was bestowing.
Soon, he began to bleed profusely. Immediately, Ra discontinued the process.
"Why did you stop" Waya rasped while simultaneously struggling to breathe.
"Any more and you shall perish". Ra warned.
"I still do not have enough power to fight Poseidon".
"Poseidon is a god emperor, he was there when humanity was created. Am afraid you may never be powerful enough to defeat him".
Waya gave Ra's words some thought before responding.
"Then I'll die trying".
Poseidon had Athena unchained and brought to the middle of the sea.
"My love, despite my love for you, for your imprudent behavior, I regrettably have to punish you. My son Atlas has sent your people to Malabour, they shall die with your worshipers".
"Please do not do this. I will accept whatever you melt to me Just let my people and worshippers live" Athena implored.
"Poseidon chuckled, "like I said, I have to punish you and your punishment is watching each and everyone of them die".
Poseidon; emperor of the sea lifted his trident and brought it down hard on the sea bed
The sea bed broke open for the first time in eighteen centuries.
The tumor arising from the sea bed's displacement startled Athena.
Then it came forth, a foul mammoth octopus which dwarfed Athena ten times over.
The wrath of the sea also known as the kraken glared murderously at Athena.
Athena was forced to hide behind Poseidon.
If she a goddess scampered before the kraken, Malabour stood absolutely no chance.
Poseidon raised his trident, causing the artifact to glow.
"Obliterate Malabour" the god emperor ordered.
Without a glint of hesitation, the kraken headed towards the city.
Athena watched in horror as hundreds of smaller creatures of which had been locked up with the kraken arose from the sea bed and likewise the wrath of the sea, headed for Malabour.
