Hailotia’s gardens held a beauty unmatched by any other planet or world. Its foliage grew in in the richest of greens. Every bench was made from marble and speckled with flakes of gold. The walkways snaked their way through the trees sandy and warm. Birds imported from other worlds drank and bathed in the cool diamond like water falling from fountains. If the calming nature wasn’t enough to clear ones head, all they needed to do was look up. Above them swirled the cosmos, a universe just waiting to be filled.
Starlight danced against the blackened sky which lay nestled by dust of various shades. Lavendar, cerulean and primrose particles floated about creating paintings of beauty no god had yet to create. It was below this mural of uncharted territory that Ephealia and her minions conversed.
“That creature stole everything from me Ev’rvessa. I can’t seem to fathom how Plexous does not see it. His creation is going to bring ruin to this sacred place. It’s no wonder humanity has forsaken us. The god they worship doesn’t care for anyone but himself. How will he have any room left to tend their needs?”
“I told you to dispose of that girl when Plexous created her,” Ev’rvessa replied. “You did not listen to me. I told you she would be trouble. What being steals from his own wife to create something for another. I dont care if it is your child, he shamed you before every god here.”
“I know and I should have heeded your warning. I am paying for that mistake now. Do you know that he threatened to lock me away if I made an attempt on her life? If only he felt the same about our children.”
“Of course he did, he would not be free of his wet hole. Especially one that never exchanges words and fills his head with propaganda to feed his ego. He believes himself untouchable due to his gifts. If I were you I would throw him in a cell before he could do the same to you. Take revenge for yourself and see your marriage renewed. He will come to his senses once her power over him is removed.”
“You may be right. Perhaps I will, he claims he still loves me if that’s true he will forgive me.”
“But will it be enough for you to forgive him? Will you be able to love your daughter again with the hole Plexsia left in your heart? You are really hard on that girl. You keep up your abuse and she will turn on you.”
“She already has. The problem is Soria she is a tick, one I would see cut from its source. I will do so in a way that will grant me my desires but also leave me free of blame with my family. I could go to her in secret, bribe her into banishment to one of my husbands other worlds.”
“What would you do when they questioned you about her disappearance? Do you honestly think they would believe you had no hand in it? You have been expressing your hatred for the woman for hundreds of years and now all of a sudden you are fine with her presence? The ends don’t tie together.”
“I will cross that bridge when I get there. For now the main thing is to be rid of that wretched little whore. I will reclaim what is mine. I have not given every fiber of my happiness to end up empty handed. I will go to her in the night and discuss her options.”
“Then I support you, but remember Ephealia his love runs skin deep. Your ability to calm his rage may fail. If it does the end result may be devastating.”301Please respect copyright.PENANAjHDaKO0Ste
