In the kingdom of Heaven, a woman could be seen walking in a golden garden. There were a few attendants attending her as she strolls around.
"The golden apple has blood, Your Highness." A goddess on the side pointed out after looking at the golden tree.
Thalia smiled. "In no ti, we can find new Gods and Goddesses that could protect the universe."
Golden Apples were fruit that only blooms from the golden tree that ca from the creator of everything. The fruit grants its eater a gift of immortality, aning that whatever danger one may get, then he wouldn't die.
However, for god to not experience pain, then he would be needing more than the golden apple. The Golden Apple just grants a long-lasting life.
It could be a curse or a gift for so as it does not remove any pain and suffering from one's body. It does not heal soone as well.
The golden tree just blooms every 500 years. The number of fruits it will bear will decide how many chosen people will be able to ascend to heaven and be one like them.
However, it wasn't as simple as that. They had to prove their worth in order to qualify. Those unqualified ones will turn to be attendants who will serve the gods as the gift of immortality can't be taken away already.
"Are you eyeing soone now, Your Highness?"
The question made Thalia rember Hugo. Her smile beca wider, rembering it.
"It seems like you have soone in mind already."
Thalia chuckled. "You have been getting curious about a lot of things recently, Celeste." She pointed out.
"I am the goddess of curiosity, after all, Your Highness." Celeste giggled. She guided Thalia as they head back inside the kingdom.
"Greetings, Her Highness!"
The knights and the servants greeted Thalia as they walked inside the throne room. Walking gracefully towards her chair, Thalia eyed Celeste, who was standing still beside her.
"What are you still doing here?" She curiously asked. Celeste smiled as her hand swiftly moved to the right, as if it was waving.
A white chair suddenly appeared on the ground. She happily sat on it, as she do not have the authority to sit at the sa height as Thalia.
"Your highness can you tell more stories about your journey on earth?" she curiously asked since it was forbidden for them to set foot in there once they beca a god.
Thalia always reminded them that all thins were set in an orderly manner and that they should not disturb that order or else everything that they created will be destroyed.
Just like what others had known, Thalia was a re human who ascended into heaven. Now, she was considered to be the Queen of all gods and goddesses.
"I have no one to tell you about already. You know all the stories that I shared." Thalia responded.
Celeste was one of the few goddesses whom she got close to when she first set her foot in heaven. The woman was known to be the Goddess of curiosity.
She has golden hair and a pair of brown eyes. She has the ability to read one's mind and unsheathe the people's desire to do sothing.
"B-But…" Celeste pouted like a kid.
Thalia looked at her strictly. She motion her hand into a circle making Thalia stand up with no choice.
"You're a bully!" She exclaid when Thalia removed the chair that she was sitting on.
Thalia just laughed as she tilted her head to the side when Celeste's words were unending.
If there will be one flaw in Celeste's powers, then that will be her talking nonstop. She really lives up to her title of being curious about all things.
The two of them were having a conversation when soone entered the throne room without permission. Thalia imdiately stood up. Her eyes glow in white, glaring at the person who just barged inside.
"I'm so sorry, your highness, but the golden string that you ordered to take care of had withered!" The man announced loudly.
Thalia's face beca pale after hearing it. She looked at Celeste in a hurry, "Let's go." She ordered. She closed her eyes and imdiately teleported to where the golden string was.
Because it ca from her, then she would instantly know its location.
Thalia's eyes grew impossibly wide at what she witnessed. The people were in chaos. Bodies covered in blood were scattered and one of them was undeniably Hugo. The man whom she saved.
"Y-Your highness…" Celeste's expression was in disbelief. She closed her eyes to see reach one person's mory to see what exactly happened.
"How unfortunate!"
However, Celeste had gotten more surprised when Thalia's hand emitted a golden light. The light ca out of her palms, lighting up the whole place.
All the people who looked at the light beca frozen in their spots. They were just standing still as if they weren't living things and just stones.
"Check him," Thalia ordered Celeste around. And even though she was confused, Celeste did what exactly Thalia had told her. They can't defy her orders or it will be treason after all.
On the other hand, Thalia landed on the ground. When she saw the golden string on the floor, she instantly picked it up.
As if the golden string was happy to see its original owner, its color beca more vibrant than ever.
Thalia placed it on her lips. "Once I leave this place, make sure that no one will rember what does Hugo looked like. Remove him and his sister from everyone's mories."
She whispered. She let go of the string. It flew in the sky, understanding her words. Her feet walked towards Hugo's sister, Hailey.
She knelt on the ground to see if the little girl was shot as well. When she saw that she had no injuries except for the bruise on her arms, a sigh of relief ca out of her lips.
"Celeste, bring them to Heaven. We need to do sothing."
