The God And His Bride - Episode 17

 

Same day. Present. 

Realm of the gods. 

The whole island felt it, It was something not to be ignored, those who understood knew it was a sign from the gods. 

Those who didn't thought it was a minor earthquake 

But the gods knew, they felt it, Alixi the great and powerful was angry. 

****

"What happened?" Maia asks as she gets closer, standing in front of Alixi's great doors where Tajiki, the messenger god and Nero, the god of steel. 

"We haven't been able to find out" Nero says and Maia smiles at him, Nero smiles back,. Maia likes Nero, after Alixi Nero is the next person who holds a candle in her heart. 

"He's acting like a diva, do you think it's wise for us to find out?" Taji asks and Maia face turns sour. 

It's safe to say that Maia is not a fan of Tajiki, it's definitely safe to say that, the cockiness and arrogance that he exudes makes anyone who comes in contact with him immediately back away. 

His worshipers are like that also, self absorbed idiots, the whole lot of them. 

"You've learnt a new word Taji" Maia says and his eyes darkens, he doesnt like being teased. 

"I'm going in" Maia says, bracing herself, she waves her hand the great doors open. 

" It's Either you are here to give me news about Milo or tell me that you've found a new type of energy, exit if it's none of that" Alixi says from his position at the mantle, He's staring into the fire and Maia can just make out images 

"I'm here for none of that Alixi" Maia says stepping forward to be a foot behind Alixi as he watches the fire. 

Inside it, inside it is a girl, a little scrap of a girl, kissing a man. 

Maia didn't have to go back to her lair and look into her water ball, she knew this girl with the shining light and the star on her head is the bride of Alixi. 

Ha, Now the source of his anger is obvious. 

"Is she supposed to be able to do that?" She asks, it's a given that the marked of the gods should never, will never be able to be intimate with any other than their gods. 

It's a fault of being a blessed. 

"She . Shouldn't be able to do that" He says, the growl obvious in his voice. 

"He shouldn't be able to do that also" Alixi says and Maia frowns, turning to him, away from the kissing couple. 

"Then how is it that he is able to do that?" There's only one way, one ways that's inconsiderable, The blessed of the gods is being marked by another god. 

"That man is a God" Maia says..

. "But I don't recognize him" She says, the scene in the fire shifts and the girl walks away from what the humans call a car, after waving the man off. 

"Do you know him Alixi?" Maia asks. 

"He would be dead if I did" He says. "He should be able to see my mark all over her, how did he get past my shield?" 

Maia nods, before gently suggesting the other only option. 

"Have you thought maybe that this is her wish? To be haves by this God, have you thought may be its what she wants? You've waited too long to claim her Alixi, She's a woman, a human woman, she has need too" Maia says and she sees that her words are sinking in. 

"She needs guidance, she's doing things, bringing back the dead, you've done nothing about it for a long time Alixi" Maia continues, forging on. 

"Maybe, maybe you might have to set her loose" Maia says and the ground beneath her feet rumbles. 

"You don't like that idea? Then do something, do something Lix! The gods are angry, they want her blood, it's either you claim her to keep her safe or you let her loose and let her be swallowed by the gods or for once you stop going easy in her and set her straight, She has only one chance Alixi, bride of the God or not, one more strike is going to bring the heavens down on her head "

" What do you mean one more strike? "Alixi asks, finally talking after Maia's rant. 

" The gods when to court, they've decided to kill her after one more strike "Maia says quietly and the ground did not only rumble this time, the sky split open as lightning runs through it. 

" The gods went to court in my bride?"He asks quietly and Maia steps back. 

" You must do something majesty "Maia says, falling to her knees under the pressure of Alixi's anger. 

" Yes, you are quite right Maia, it's been long I did something "
