After Adam left dusa's beach residence, she looked at the beach and the gentle sea rolling with calm waves and closed her eyes quietly. Talking to him had been extrely enjoyable and she had been able to confirm one theory she had.
'I wanted to talk about the events in the Park but I was too excited.'
She had lost control of her emotions and had been too excited. Proposing to ntor and sponsor him after barely eting him. She would have to build trust between them slowly. After all she had no bad intentions toward him;
[Was it really wise?]
[Sister, you are playing a dangerous ga here.]
Two voices resounded in her head, interrupting her thoughts. She sighed at the intrusion and drank the juice Adam had refused to touch. The juice was a concoction she had made quite a bit of effort into making so she was quite a bit sad that he didn't even take a sip of the drink.
"Sisters, It has been a while. I am alright, what about you?"
[...]
[...]
She spoke sarcastically to the two sudden voices that had spoken out, causing them to quiet down before the more mature sounding of the two voices finally spoke up.
[I am sorry. We are just worried about you.]
[You are only 2800 years old. We fear that you will suffer once again.]
dusa groaned in her mind after hearing their words. She would have never thought that even at her age, she would get mothered like that. At the sa ti, however, a feeling of warmth spread in her heart at the concern the two voices had shown to her.
"You do know that I am incredibly old for a mortal, right?"
Hisses usually produced by snakes resounded in her ears from the voices in her mind,
[Your current cycle is only a young girl in her Eighteenth year of age!]
[When will you stop this madness and ascend to godhood?]
[Do you understand how sad we are every ti you start a new cycle like that?]
[Do you not understand how much we weep every ti you start from zero all over again?]
[Stop defying the order of Fate already.]
[Please accept the honor that is rightfully yours.]
"Be honest. You are just tired of dealing with Mother all alone, right?" [1]
[...]
[Ahem… About that…]
She giggled and for once she had the atmosphere of the young girl she currently looked like.
In the end, though, she simply sighed as she shook her head…
"Sisters… Aren't you tired already?"
Her voice was tinged with sorrow.
"Why must we always play the role of the evil monster in this sad reality?
"Why should I and all our siblings be enslaved, killed, or tortured for the sake of the so-called heroes?"
[This is our fate.]
[Great reward awaits us at the end of these struggles.]
"Rewards!?"
She stood up and seethed in rage, her glasses cracked as a light of vengeance shone from her eyes and the surroundings around her slowly changed to stone.
"You an being given the right of becoming constellations after being slain? Becoming nothing more than so minor gods, only slightly above so spirits that no one would even think of worshipping is our destined reward?"
Her mood changed the weather surrounding her. The waves beca violent, the sky clouded over, and a storm seed to be approaching from the horizon.
[Calm your wrath sister!]
[Your current body cannot handle your powers. Calm yourself, please!]
dusa's mind was filled with absolute hatred and anger as she breathed harshly repeatedly, fighting tooth and nail to control her increasingly souring mood.
She took a pill and swallowed it down and closed her eyes as she felt the effects slowly work on her and like a lie, everything, even the places and objects changed into stone slowly went back to normal.
"I apologize for this unsightly display. It seems like my hormones are affecting my control over my powers."
Her face was once again emotionless and she adjusted her cracked glasses. This was the part of every new cycle she hated with a passion. Going through puberty every ti was such a pain.
[We…]
"Enough, I am tired. Talking to you two takes too much ntal strength of currently."
She started to walk back toward her room. She needed to finish the procedure for Adam's ntal scores then she would be able to have a peaceful night of sleep.
"Tell mother to not worry…]
Her voice broke slightly and for an instant, it sounded like one of higher beings.
[Tell her that… This will most likely be the last cycle I go through.]
Her eyes shone with renewed vigor as she rember the young man she had just talked with.
She was unable to gaze into his Fate. This could only an one thing,
[I Think… That I may have found a new King."
A King beyond anything and everything she had ever hoped to witness with her eyes. The one who may lead them to a different future than their predestined tragedy.
She clenched her fists, excitent rising deep within her. She may be wrong. Perhaps she was looking too much into it.
There had been no new Kings for so long and all the previous Kings were obviously inhuman beings.
But this… If she was right… This would be groundbreaking. A king that could walk between the human and the spiritual world. A supre being closest to going back to the root of divinity.
The origin of everything.
'And I will have the honor of being one of the first ntors.'
This was a bet like no other. One where she was putting her entire existence on the Scales.
She had already defied Death many tis over and lived far longer than any other human had the right to and she knew that the grim reaper, Hades, was sharpening his scythe, waiting for the day he will get hold of her and this might really happen this ti around.
Even so… She felt no fear. Her heart was only filled with joy and anticipation.
If she had to die one last ti, it would be after flipping the middle finger to all the gods and dying in a blaze of glory.
She would accept nothing else as her final deed before her death.
[1]: dusa is part of the Gorgons. A group of three sisters. Her sisters are Stheno and Euryale. Her sisters are immortal while dusa was mortal. Finally, they are the daughters of Echidna, the mother of thousand monsters. Most of the monsters that appear in Greek myths, like Gorgons, Cerberus, Hydra, and so on are her children.
Her husband is Typhoon. A monster created by Gaia that fought against Zeus.
Typhoon was more powerful than all the gods, causing them to flee to Egypt but in the end, he lost and got sealed in a volcano because they were unable to kill him.
(AN: *02/05/23 Hi guys. my goal this month is to reach 10k unlock to get a banner next month.
For this I made 99% discount on all privilege. this an that once you buy a Tier, all chapters will only cost 1 COINS.
just a reminder but 500 coins is around 10$. So with just 10$ it is enough to buy the Tier with 10 advanced chapters and still unlock all chapters for the rest of the month.
I think this results in being far cheaper than not being Privilege.
Your support really matter guys. So please give a try and support if you like the story.
your support is what sustain and my writing.)
Finally, I have officially started my Twitch I would like it if you could co and follow . I will stream once or twice a week about my books. It can be short Q/A session or monts where you guys ask for so things you wish I could change:
