Quest For Vengeance

The black stone walls trembled once more. The temple had been attacked for the entire day, and yet it still stood proud like it always had been for the last ten millennia. The skies even mirrored the shaking of the temple with many small stones falling off of the temple that dominated the region, though it was in fact the only thing in this region.

The golden glowing skies, making everything in the empty region seem magically and divine. The occasional golden ray even caused the black ground to sparkle and glow as it brushed the ground.

Loud creaks and cracks were echoing out alongside this trembling of the world. Then with a couple loud bangs something seemed to finally give and the temple walls began to collapse one by one.

Once a few seconds of complete and utter destruction had finally passed, the interior of this temple could be seen by everyone not inside, though those not inside were all dead.

The blood of the angels could be seen covering the ground golden and silver, the colour of their blood did not matter as it mixed in under their bodies. Thousands could be seen of both genders and many types.

If a person were to look out they would be able to see, black and white wings as well as gold and even the occasional blue winged angel. All were out there in battle armour coloured the same as their wings and yet all of them were there laying dead.

Ka-Boom!

The sudden explosion and its following dust plume soon smashed out of the destroyed entrance. The bodies that had been there, were all gone by the time the dust had settled. If they had been flung away or simply disintegrated no one would know and no one cared.

After all angels were expendable here, this is the realm of the Gods after all.

Inside of the ruined temple, there was not much left, the varying halls and rooms had all been blasted apart, the white luminous stone on the inside of the temple was even pure and untainted even though it was lying around on the ground in chunks, yet still it was beautiful and the light that it emitted was still bright, even though the golden rays of the skies crept through the holes, it still made the glowing stone light up even more, a blinding pure light.

Then another explosion ripped through the temple once again.

The noise itself came from the throne room, in which there were only four figures left standing.

The figures were peerless and yet all were haggard and panting. Each one sporting a few wounds of varying kinds, the worst of the four though was a lady wearing a veil with two coloured stones sitting atop of it, her tight fitting robes being in tatters now, the intricate golden designs could not be made out at all now.

She had two slash wounds spread out across her chest, through which golden blood was slowly seeping out. Her figure in one word was peerless, she could and did put any goddess of beauty to shame.

”Why? Why are you doing this? ” She cried out, grasping the two daggers in her hands even tighter.

The three other men, each glad in different colour robes each with its own design, did not say a word and instead each just readied themselves once more.

Then without a word they all charged forwards, spear, sword and sabre raining down onto the lonely goddess.

She moved as quick as she could, her daggers gleaming and shining as they danced around her body protecting her from the most dangerous attacks and yet still, her wounds were slowing her down. She barely could keep up with all of them and finally another attack snuck through, the spear smashing into her chest.

The quiet squelch and the following burst of golden blood, soon being faded out with the clash of metal and again, another burst of golden light pulsed out of the goddess forcing the men away again, giving her a moment of respite.

”The God of War, The God of Darkness and The God of Light. I supposed I should feel happy you all have come here to kill me still, why? I was not part of your war! ” Her voice echoed around her temple and domain fiercely but still, her legs wobbled as she struggled to stand.

This battle was finally coming to an end. All four of them knew it, she just wanted answers.

Answers she would not get.

Without any warning they all came at her again, the ground cracking with their movement.

Their weapons soon enough were singing their own deadly tune, as metal clashed, its sharp ringing making even the air seem sharp and dangerous.

The goddess suddenly stepped back slightly causing the sabre to miss her ever so slightly, taking advantage she in a flash was beside the black haired and eyed god. Har daggers stabbed into his chest, his black robes being darkened even more than what should be normally possible, then within a flash they were out of his body as it sprayed black blood over the floor.

He though merely grunted and slashed his sabre at the neck of the goddess, who barely managed to block the attack, her body being flung back and the moment her feet landed onto the floor, the patient spear thrust into her chest, this time not missing her heart.

Tears running down her face, the brave goddess coughed up a load of golden blood. It slowly dripping out from underneath the veil.

Holding the spear, she slowly collapsed to the floor looking at the three gods as they stood around looking down at her dying body.

”Why… ” Suddenly violently coughing, her entire body trembled as blood began to push out of her wounds. They all stood there as the thick golden liquid crashed onto their boots.

Her body was quickly failing and the goddess was scared. She did not want to die! She did not know what to do though! She did not even know why they were all here!

Then the sword wielding God of Light slowly walked up to her, his sword aimed at her throat, clearing he aimed to take her head as well. The others did not bother to stop him, after all her death was all they wanted.

His untainted white robes, that looked alot like the luminous stone her temple had been built from, was now not so white, in fact it looked more grey than anything else.

The mans eyes slowly met that of the Goddess. ”I am truly sorry, you know? We did not want to do this to you. You are one of the supreme Gods. Yet we could not just sit here and leave you alone. ” His words and excuses fell on death ears though.

”Ha…I am not a fool. Do not lie to me! ” Her screams ripped into the mans chest, though it was still only a scream, no damage would be done…

The God just sighed and raised his sword.

”I will be back for you three…When I do, I will kill you all! ”

Swoosh.

The final sword swing was done, and her head severed completely, slowly falling to the floor with a thud.

The three remaining Gods let out a sigh of relief.

The only one who looked a little nervous was the God of Light who had performed the killing blow. ”She won be able to come back right? ” He mumbled this to the other two.

The spear wielding God of War was the one who replied, ”She may be the God of Luck, but not even she is that lucky. ”

Then the three all left the blood stained realm. After all, no one could know it was them who had done this.

Then as soon as they had left. Five Gods suddenly appeared, the youngest of the five, a young man. Nearly fell to the floor in tears seeing the dead Goddess. The twins signed almost at the same time, sharing a small unseen glance with each other and the eldest two just looked around glumly like they did not want to even be here at all.

These were the other supreme Gods who formed the divine council. Now they were just a council of five.

They all looked at each other with worry in their eyes, but when they looked back at the body, it was gone…

Gone with a gust of wind…

They all were shocked… The reason for this would only be shown in the future…
