Lord Shadow

1845  The Grace of An Old Friend

In another realm, another battle is being fought.

there is a battle in the boundary between life and death, in a shadowy realm where all kinds of weirds and bizarre things would appears

One of the Gods that is called the fastest among all the gods. Around him, is electricity and thunder and lightning wrapped around her body, sometimes slithering, sometimes morphing into a shield.

This one has an energy that any Speedster would recognize. A Speed Source.

And the one having such power is Hermes. The messenger of the Gods. The guide, the orator, the thieves

He is all of this… and more. Hermes was protecting Olympus gates and he was doing a good job at it.

That is when he was attacked by Anubis

And Anubis is not some small gods easily dismissed with a wave of his hand

And he was thrown into this realm of shadows, of souls of darkly things without any preparations

Hermes sometimes guides the souls and since Hades is not in the battlefield right now, Anubis might have decided to start with Hermes.

Take that Aspect of Hermes that allows him to enter the Underworld.

Taking that Aspect and then invade the Underworld. Maybe that is Anubis plans.

Hermes doesn't know what Anubis is planning. But he could guess why the judge of the Death wanted to start with him

His winged sandals leaves streaks of golden light that repels any souls, and any dark creatures of Anubis that tries to grab him

Anubis, the jackal headed god of the dead, uses his staff to try to beat Hermes soul out of his body.

These two are now fighting in realm of shadows and this battle might take some time as they are equally matched

On another planet, a beautiful planet with all kinds of beautiful plant and beautiful buildings, there is Aphrodite on the shore of a beach, having a wound on her eyes and on her chest.

The contrast between the beautiful beaches and the current tragic ending of Aphrodite only make this scene even more poignant

Bleeding from these wounds are golden blood.

Standing over her, is Bastet smiling at her.

Bastet simply laughed and then with swift precision, her claws swipe through Aphrodite neck and Aphrodite heads falls onto the pearly white sand of the beach.

Aphrodite body then turns into a foam that dissipated when the next wind blows

The world that the Aphrodite had created exploded in an instant.

An Olympian dies!

This time it is not like when Apollo was defeated.

Apollo was dying but he clearly did not die yet.

Considering that the flame of the Sun is still there, and the fact that Artemis also went to the seas suggest that Poseidon might be sheltering those two gods.

Bastet look at the foam as it dissipated and she first takes the essence of this world.

Even though the world itself is collapsing, the energy is still there.

Before the energy of this world could dissipate Bastet devours it

And when the planet exploded, Bastet was pushed a million miles away from the planet.

Of course, if Bastet was a lesser beings, such violent reaction would have destroyed her or at least give her some kind of deep injuries.

But she was only thrown out by that explosion and there is nothing wrong with her. She is now floating in the darkness of space.

Then she takes her breathe and then she looks toward Olympus. Smiling, she nodded to herself

Bastet took a step and she travels a million miles away. Her destination is none other than Olympus.

Now, that she had killed a goddess, the law and order of Olympus would surely crumble even more

The more it crumbles, the more it is destabilized the easier it is for Ra to win the battle.

Bastet is now going to Olympus to see if she could help with the others.

There is the Twelve Olympians fighting all over the Olympus Galaxy but there is also many lesser gods and elements that is still fighting.

Right now, Bastet could act as reinforcement.

It is the same time Horus is doing after he won against Apollo and Artemis.

They are slaughtering the nymphs and the other lesser gods and defense of the Olympians system.

Olympus right now is losing

And someone needs to help Zeus

On a different planet, there is a wine soaked plain.

A plain of a steppe that is now soaked with wine.

And two titanic beings who sems to revel in madness as they fight each other, with ichor blood dripping from their large wounds.

This is the battle between Dionysus and Sekhmet

Dionysus is the god of wine and another aspect of him is madness.

And right now, that aspect of madness is clearly brought out. Chaotic energy is unleashed each time he strikes.

His thyrsus staff topped with a pinecone and vines, twist the reality around him.

It summons intoxicating mist that tries to disorient Sekhmet and also summons all kinds of darkly creatures from the Dark Dimension

Sekhmet is now in her lioness form.

She charges into battle with unmatched ferocity and her claws tear through Dionysus illusion, her roars is enough to destroy the Darkly beings that is being summoned.

And while she is fighting she is relentless, like a force of pure wrath.

Their battlefield is a whirlwind of chaos, and Dionysus become even crazier in this kind of environment.

Laughter and rage and madness, delirium all blending together.

Both of them are bleeding profusely.

But even with such deadly injuries these two did not stop fighting even for a second.

They seem to be entirely mad and crazy, fighting like there is no tomorrow.

In Olympus, in the twelve planets near Olympus, in the further planets that is under the Olympians rule, all of them are now fighting a battle.

A war the like of which Olympians has never seen before

In the mortal world of Olympus, in the main world, there is also Hera

She was initially fighting in a grand oasis. But as she fights, she was slammed into Olympus mortal world

Here is the Queen of Olympus.

But she rarely stays in Olympus these few thousand years.

Instead, she lives in her own planet with her own temple and her own warrior maidens that serve her.

She usually holds a golden sceptre that holds the power of divine lightning

Zeus imbued that sceptre with his lightning hence it is the few weapons in Olympus that have the trace of the Lord of Olympus

She also has a familiar, a divine peacock. But now she is dishevelled. Her crown has bene destroyed.

Her golden sceptre cracks

Her peacocks had been slaughtered.

Hera is now dying.

She is leaning onto a large boulder.

And there is a being that is coming closer to her

It is none other than Hathor.

Behind her, there is a cow mooing. She is the goddess of the sky, of love, of joy, of women, of fertility

She has many Aspect that she has embodied along the years

Hera hearing this answer went silent for a second. She wanted to say something….but no words comes out from her mouth. It is like she could not say the things she wanted to say

21:44

"Which one?" she ask. And she hope, she pray that the answer is that answer

Sometimes it overlaps with some other gods and deities of the Eternal Horizon pantheon

This is Hathor, the Eye of Re, the Goddess of the West, Lady of the Southern Sycamore

She looks at Hera and sighed

"I will not kill you, Hera Queen of Olympus. Today, Olympus would not lose its Queen"

Hera was speechless. She is dripping with blood and she found it hard to continue opening her eyes.

But she wanted to know. What could stop Hathor from taking action?

She did not understand.

"Why?" she ask. There is also some kind of hint of expectation. Hathor could hear it. She sighed.

And she closes her eyes. Now, she is sure. There is something about Hera and that being.

So, she could not help but sigh

"No wonder, He came to help. No wonder, He did all that. All of that...just for this" she thought to herself.

"An old friend of yours" Hathor said.

Hera hearing this answer went silent for a second. She wanted to say something….but no words comes out from her mouth. It is like she could not say the things she wanted to say

"Which one?" she ask. And she hope, she pray that the answer is that answer

And Hathor did not disappoint her

"A Trickster" This alone confirm Hera feeling. For a moment she was stunned. She never thought…..that he still...still remember…..still care

Hera lips trembles and she closed her eyes.

And she breaks.

 There is a tear coming out from her closed eyes. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"He said to tell you, that he thank you" Hearing this Hera entire body trembles. It's him

Loki of Asgard. The Cosmic Trickster.

Hathor sighed.

She has seen these kind of stories before.

So, she knew. And she knew why it is a tragedy.

So, she could only sigh
