Layla's story Book 1 (Acnola) Acnologia×Layla

Chapter 31: Freedom

Nobody's POV

In 'heaven' where the gods reunite every day after a tough day of work, a dark aura manifested in the grand hallway where the gods gossip about their day etc. It was silent for a moment as they saw the god of Life and dead: Shinigami. He held a lifeless body in his hands in the bridal style position. The blonde hand a hand around his neck and the other one was hanging.

Everyone gasped at the sight, "Shinigami what the hell happened?!?" the beauty that had light brown hair and colorful eyes looked at the black haired god. She wore a red cramp top and a pair of black leggings that showed all of her curves. She knew something was wrong since haven shacked like crazy and that Shinigami was panicking to leave.

He sighed looking everywhere but on the beauty's face, "Layla's dead." He said looking now on the golden floor. "I'm sorry, she died and now the time of the trail has come. We should find out who will be free and who will be sent to the heir."

Lisha's colorful eyes looked into the god's black eyes, "no, no, no, no, no, no, no. how?" her eyes filled with tears. Shinigami didn't know how to console his long time wife but he could only give the soul to Tomoe the regalia of the human goddess Nanami. He walked towards Lisha and hugged her; "Why she was so young plus today's her birthday!" she sobbed in her husband's chest. Golden tears ran down her cheeks. She didn't think that Layla's hundred birthdays will be more like 'happy dead day' for everyone.

Shinigami sucked a breath and looked at his wife that was still sniffing on his chest, "looks like a minor god killed her while she was fighting she used Ying and Yang to help her and you know that that meant. He looked down to her as he was watering his black kimono, but he didn't care, he was sad to since his friend's daughter died, she was like his niece, part of his family: even tho she was born as a human with supernatural magic that gave her the rank of a god.

"Bow to the god of creation and the goddess of nature!" an angel announced from the big wooden door, every regalia and servant bowed down to their knees as the all mighty gods came in with all their glory. Followed by their two children; that were three. The goddess of nature, which was called 'Mother Nature' in middle of the humans had a flower-like dress that reached her knees and her colorful hair was held in an elegant high pun, light natural make-up. Next to her was her husband, 'god of creation' more known like 'Cronos' he had a green suit that matched his wife's dress; his black hair was gelled nicely back. "Today will be the day of the human god: Layla, goddess of balance's trail." The same angle announced again. Whispers filled the hall that even the maids were scared of what the all mighty gods will say this time about gossiping.

'Mother Nature' looked around and saw the lost soul that was finally reacting to the small amount of life it has left. Yes Layla is dead but in the trail they need the soul of the vessel and the user. Kiore (Mother Nature) looked sadly at the soul that struggled to stand up; she left her husband's side, who was talking to the god of justice so they could start, Kiore stood in front of the lost soul she gave her a hand. The soul's dull green eyes looked into Kiore's azure blue ones that looked like the sky, she than took her hands after looking at the hand, "Hi," Kiore started, "I'm Kiore goddess of nature."

Layla didn't remember anything from her life, "Um, I'm sorry but who are you ma'am? Do I know you?" she looked the same and smelled the same, everything was Layla. The same none pupil eye, the same crimson red eyes, same blonde and black hair, same height, same pale skin color, same aura, same rosy lips, same voice, same presence, same scares, same nose, same shame eyes, everything was the same: it was totally the Layla they know...right?

Kiore's lips trembled, yes she didn't like that Layla was better than her, but she still loved her she was like a daughter to her, "D-don't you remember me Layla?" She only shook her head while her hair flew with the rhythm of the head.
