Dionycece shivered and went cold at the arrival of Anubis. "Anubis... Surely you understand the god Vega. Yes, murder and torture are the highest of all worldly sins.. We both share the powers of judgement... But it is time he was forgiven. Vega is not to be trusted under any circumstance, but by even suggesting helping Polemos shows that he is... willing to improve his reputation. He will have to give into our demands, so there is no need to so hostile." Dionycece tilted his head to the side, gripping his staff tighter. "I do not believe you have claim over all souls of the universe, but I can understand you concern-" Vega then excused himself, abruptly sauntering away. Dionycece straightened himself and allowed his black cloak to change colors, into a striped gold, silver and purple pattern. Then Vega returned, and Dionycece smiled. "Yes, we must have Sesina. And all the other gods we can find. But... if she does not come... Well, we will have to proceed without her." Dionycece said, then nodded towards Lyaldir, who entered the throne room. "Greetings, God of Smithing. Your services will be must appreciated."

[Markotovia]

Sesina was pondering what to do. If she confronted Vega, and indeed what the Oracle said were his plans, were true, he would try to kill her. She had no interest in fighting another God, for she knew the destruction it would bring to Patheos. For now, all she could do was protect Aeia from any divine threats. She went to the Weeping Tree, and as she raised her arm to the sky, pointing her wand, a bolt of lightning shot out from the wand, with ferocious thunders, and the ground beneath her violently shook. The waters around the island became vicious and waves came crashing on the shore's cliffs. Sesina levitated off the ground, and as she cried out, "O great spirits of Earth, call forth your brothers and sisters, warn every creature, spread this news to all corners of Aeia, protect your home, do your duty!" As she finished, monstrous walls of water shot out from the ocean around, stretching up into the clouds. The sound of great horns echoed across the Island, the mountains trembled, and Sesina yelled out, "So mote it be!" Then, there was silence. Sesina lowered back to the ground, the waters subsided, the skies became clear, and sun shone out again. Aeia was now sealed from any dangers, with a power not even the Gods could understand.

[Baxten]

Lyaldir turns to Anubis "Ah, Anubis. It has been so long since i have seen you. I don't know why Vega had his change of heart, but it alone suggests that he is not entierly hell bent on destru..." Vega abruptly turns and started to head to his throne room. Lyaldir turns and askes: "Vega, what happend?" Vega ignored him and closed the door to his throne room. Moments later Vega returns and when Lyaldir turns, Anubis has dissapeared. Lyaldir satrted talking after several moments: "And back to our matters... I would advise to visit Sesina first and see if she will help us with our mission. If we can't convince her to help us, then we will start rebuilding without her. I would like to ask though, before we begin, why the change of heart Vega? Why did you decide to help humanity instead of enjoying the destruction?"

Vega responded "You see, I still like destruction and war; I'm the god of it all. But I had thought to myself that it's cruel, even for me, to treat my followers like that. I'm not liked by many, but those people appreciate me, and it's time I reward them. So what better way than to help the people rebuild the city I destroyed. It's an apology and a gift. Of course, I still want them to be a militaristic people, but at least a cultured and sophisticated military people. I just want what's best for my people."

[Ruclax]

Anubis turned to Dionycece after he spoke. Dionycece had talked and had finished his words and greeted the God of Smithing. Anubis, anoyed at his words, replied to Dionycece.
"O, spirit, thou hasn't made a foolish error. Who was it that was here from the begging? Who was it that was given the sacred charge over all the souls of the universe by our Almighty Father? His eyes, burned brighter as the dark smoke from his cloak wraped Dionycyce in a coldness that chilled the soul to frostbite. He raised his jackel's hand and Dionycyece could feel his soul was clutched and being choked. Anubis said,
"O, spirit, know thy place. Forswear, it shall not be good with you should you make such heretical comments again."
He then let him go as the God of Smithing had mentioned him.
He tuned to him and replied. "It has been long old friend. It's good to see you" He then turned to Vega as he was speaking to him.

As Vega was telling Anubis his plans for reconstruction he sensed the uneasiness in Vega's voice. He also could sense when his brother was nervous. Anubis simply stood there in a dead silence looking straight at him with his piercing eyes as he did when they were young to make him spill the beans.

-Vega then suddenly left for his throne room-

Anubis thought to himself...He still remembered the fun they had when they were young gods but he also remembered the huge fight they had as well. Ever since that fight they hadn't talked to each other face to face, that is... until now. They grew apart and after all this time didn't know each other well anymore. He knew Vega was hiding something but for his brother's sake he decided to help him. Seeing his brother again for after so much time made the grudge of the past be thrown out in his mind. He realized that this project would be a good place to start over. To get to know his brother again.
When Vega came out and asked him if he would help he replied, even though he knew this may not be genuine
"I think this idea you have will be good for all of us. I'll help. In the meantime try not to kill anymore before their time"

Right then he herd the Archangel and Archdemon call out to him, his dark cloak wrapped around him with his purple fire and he quickly dived downward into his kingdom.

[Ruclax]

It's late in the eternal evening in the Underworld and Anubis has allot on his mind. All of the feelings he has with helping his brother and the memories of the past flooded his mind all day. He lies on his bed in his chambers. With all these memories of the past he starts to remember a few that he was always fond of, that were always on his mind. He smiles to himself as he thinks of the Goddess he used to fool around with when he was a adolescent God. Sesina, or Sasha as fondly called her..she called him "AmBi". He laughed to himself...AmBi....the God of the Death, Judgement and the Afterlife. He laughed harder. He thought a bit about it. He wonders how Sasha was doing. He was still fond of her and was always attracted but after teenage years he just didn't have time for her anymore. "You have a kingdom to run. You have all the souls of the Universe to look after, you DO NOT have time for her." said his father the Almighty Creator. He cringed.
He wonders if she would still remember him after all these eternal years. He got up off his bed and smiled. Maybe she will remember, maybe they could get back together. Maybe he would have a Queen, a Goddess of the Underworld to rule with him.
Maybe, just maybe.

He made himself decent..he would appear to her in the form she knew best. he summoned the Archangel and Archdemon to his chambers.

Micheal and Damien appeared and bowed and both greeted him "Master, what do you will?"

"Faithful ones, I am going to visit an old...fr..a...ga...a...I'm not going to be here for a while. Just look over things. Oh, and please feed Preatoreous(Anubois's giant pet. A Dog like creature that guards his palace)

They replied, "Of course, Master" and flew off.
He thought of where she could be. He remembered them playing hide and seek near the weeping tree, the many picnics under that tree and their first kiss there. "The weeping tree" he said to himself. The black smoke of his cloak engulfed him and he vanished.

Purple fire spread across the land near the weeping tree and black smoke shot out of the ground. Anubis appeared. He smiled as he saw the tree. He called out..."Sasha. It's Ambi"

[Baxten]

As the plans for rebuilding Polemos were finished, Vega thought he should go to Aeia to meet up with Sesina. "I will go meet with Sesina to try to get her to help. Her magic would be very useful" with that, Vega flew away towards the island, and he got there in a few minutes.

As he was looking for a place land around the Weeping Tree, he saw his brother, Anubis, calling for someone. He landed towards him, and went to start a conversations it's him. "Why hello, brother. What brings you to this beautiful island? I am trying to find Sesina; have you seen her anywhere? I am trying to convince her to help s in the reconstruction."

[Ruclax]

Anubis, saw his brother flying over head. He let out a big sigh, a bit annoyed that he now he won't be alone with her. But then another thought came to mind. "Well maybe this will help. Maybe this is better. She'll see me and if she still likes me I'll know. She'll give me that look. That beautiful look she gave me before we kissed all those years ago. Alright, that sounds like a plan. If she gives me that look I know she's interested. Then after Vega leaves I'll stay and talk with her"

He turned to Vega who greeted him and gave him a look
"Do anymore killing today? Or did you actually control yourself? You know Father wouldn't have been happy the way you treated those souls. I didn't say that in the presence of the others to spare you some, but you should think of that. I know you are you own God but you have to think before you do brother, Jeez. I'm glad your doing this reconstruction stuff though-he looked at him with a playful suspicion-
ANYWAY, I'm here to talk to Sasha. I haven't seen her a while. Remember all those years ago, me getting in trouble with Father for not doing my godhead duties because I was out here with her all the time fooling around?-he laughed to himself- Good times! So, I'm actually looking for her too. She's probably working on new spells or whatnot, she was always inventing new spells and magic."

"Oh, really? That's good. I'm sure she will help the reconstruction effort"

[Sulania]

Arla'Dirthaveran

Vhenan looked from the great balcony that peered to the south, the snow covered mountains blocking any view beyond, but she watched with intensive concentration into the face of their white covered tops. She had received word from her followers of the uprising in Polemos to the South, an uprising quelled by a god. Of course she was intensively interested in what had happened in Polemos. Her servants often delivered her blessings to the rulers of the kingdoms in her stead, her blessings to the Debans in her stead, but she hasn't left her keep in years.

"What is to be done, m'lady." A servant behind her said with remorse in his voice. Vhenan turned to acknowledge her high priest, Divine Justin II, formerly known as Gareth before his crowning of Divine. As her high priest, the Divine is meant to be her emissary beyond the mountains of the North. His own holding being in the Andrastian Temple west of Dio City. He wore white robes bejeweled with pyrope garnets and amethysts, and wore a layered crown that signified his station.

"Nothing as of yet, I will no take no action in this matter. Do as what is commanded of you in these crises, help the afflicted in any way you can and push to establish order." She said curtly, quickly moving her gaze back to the mountains ahead of her. "And... give us word from Dionycece, as this would concern him as well. Make sure he receives word that I would like to see him as soon as possible to see what the situation is, and what he and the other gods are doing in this regards."

"Of course, ma'am." He said, bowing in respect to give confirmation that he understands her instructions.

"You are dismissed." She ordered, Divine Justin leaving her quarters atop the keep. It has been a while since she personally worked with the other gods and goddesses. She herself wasn't born a god, but as a mortal woman who rose to become one, she felt as an outsider among them, a pariah. However, something about the current matter forced her into at least reaching out to one of the more understanding and kind ones among them. She would await word from him before following through with anything else.

[Markotovia]

Sesina was in her temple, when she felt something. A presence she hadn't felt in a very long time. She vanished from the Temple and appeared in front of the Weeping Tree. Her heart dropped. She couldn't believe who was standing there. It was her old, forbidden love AmBi, with his brother who she could not even look at without feeling sick.

"Anubis, Vega, she said sternly. "To what do I owe the pleasure of having you two on this sacred ground?"

"Anubis, Vega, she said sternly. "To what do I owe the pleasure of having you two on this sacred ground?"

Vega replied without hesitation "Why hello, Great Sorceress. I came here to propose you help me with something. As you may have heard, I want to rebuild my city of Polemos. I can tell you are disgusted to see me, and rightfully so. I have slaughtered innocents just for fun, and I feel truly sorry for that. I ask that you forgive me and to let us start a new friendship that can last. I may have made terrible mistakes in the past, but I am willing to start anew and I wish to be cleansed my sins against humanity. also wanted to ask if you could help rebuild the great city of Polemos. I think your magic would come to great use for our mission. I came to my brother. I saw him here and I thought I could say hi. He is looking for S...someone he has tried to find for a long time."

[Ruclax]

He looked at his brother and looked at her and smiled. What else could he do. His brother just delivered that corny comment all he could do was laugh.

Looking at her, Anubis's stomach dropped. She was still as beautiful, if not more so, as he remembered her to be. He gave her a bright smile. He did something he hadn't done since childhood; he stopped the fire that blazed around his eyes so that only his big warm purple eyes were visible. He was not in his Jackal form but in another he frequently used when younger. He was nervous has he spoke.

"Sasha, hey, it's really nice to see you again! I uh, wanted to catch up. I haven't seen you in a while and... uh, I was wondering if you had some time that we could....catch up. -the worse part was over. He was more confident now- I would love to give you a tour of the Afterlife! What do you say Sash?"

[Markotovia]

Sesina knew of Vega's true motive, but for now she had to play along.

"Yes, I see. Perhaps my Magic could be of use to you. I will see what I can do."

She turned to Anubis. As much as she wanted to spend time with him again, she couldn't. She had to do her duty, and protect Patheos from Vega's destruction. Her love would only distract her. But she thought to herself. Perhaps love was the answer. Perhaps she could use Anubis to turn on her brother. She would need all the help to defeat him. But she knew, the true love once between them was gone. She would need to use her magic to trick him.

"Anubis, I don't think it would be best for us to go parading off like we used to. There is work to be done." She looked at Vega,

"Well, Vega, I will think about your most generous offer to help the good people of Polemos. But for know, I must retreat back to my Temple. Good day Vega, Anubis."

Sesina then vanished from the Weeping Tree and back to her temple. She had to prepare a ritual to bind Anubis' love to her. It would be a difficult spell. To subdue a mortal's love was child's play, but that of a God, required time, and power.

[Ruclax]

Anubis looked at the ground, a bit embarrassed that she said declined his offer and a bit hurt that she didn't greet him with warmth. It was like she didn't even know him, like all those years together meant nothing anymore. He didn't know how to respond Should he just try and be nice..should he say something to remind her of old times. He stood there frozen, uncomfortable, angry, uncertain, frustrated and hurt. "Is it me, is she not interested? Is she being shy?" All these thoughts ran in his head until he realized something. "I guess I don't know her" he finally concluded. Sad that this was most likely the truth-that they just lost touch, that she is a new person and doesn't know her-he began to say his goodbye.
He sighed to himself and he looked at her.

"Right, theres work to be done. Good to see you Sa"- he stopped himself. Sasha was when they were younger. The Goddess he knew and loved; Sasha, wasn't he Goddess talking to him. He continued

..."Great Sorceress"

His eyes light back up with flames, his black smoke cloak engulfed him and he switched forms to his Underworld form. He gave one past look at her and then he vanished back to the Afterlife. As he dived back into the Afterlife and into the Underworld he looked at his kingdom, he looked at the beauty, the souls, the angles and demons. He looked at his palace and flew in. As he landed he looked at his bed. "I still thinks it's about time that the Afterlife has a Goddess, that can rule with me." He was sad at the thought that it wasn't going to be Sasha, but then he realized something. There are other Goddesses in Patheos, other beautiful Goddesses that liked him when he was younger and didn't have so much to do. He thought of going to this one Goddess.and asking for her hand..but she was an outsider. She was human before she was a God. How could she possibly rule with him? But this strange feeling of desire only intensified the more he thought of how forbidden it was.

He made up his mind. He would go to Vhenan later that night.

[Vista Major]

Anubis turned to Dionycece after he spoke. Dionycece had talked and had finished his words and greeted the God of Smithing. Anubis, anoyed at his words, replied to Dionycece.
"O, spirit, thou hasn't made a foolish error. Who was it that was here from the begging? Who was it that was given the sacred charge over all the souls of the universe by our Almighty Father? His eyes, burned brighter as the dark smoke from his cloak wraped Dionycyce in a coldness that chilled the soul to frostbite. He raised his jackel's hand and Dionycyece could feel his soul was clutched and being choked. Anubis said,
"O, spirit, know thy place. Forswear, it shall not be good with you should you make such heretical comments again.".

[Backlog]

Dionycece's body grew beyond freezing, and his aura began to fade. For a moment, he became weak enough to start fading as he struggled to breathe. He dropped his staff, and it clattered to the floor. With losing his peace, Dionycece became very temerpered and screamed as Anubis released him. "I don't care who are, you are not to hold me hostage! I shall speak as I wish, you proud fool! You have no authority over the stability of this land, as I am it'd very being!" He shouted. "Know your place, O great Anubis! To attack a spirit that is seemingly below you, how cowardice! Strike me again, and I can make your immortal life beyond a living hell! I am here to help my people first and foremost, but I cannot do that if the people of Polemos and Vega are constantly at odds with one another! I thought you of all people would understand, but you know next to nothing!" Dionycece seethed, fists clenched. His staff of the ground sharpened into a spear, and his cloak turned a fiery red. "Do not negate me, I have more influence than you think."

[Vista Major]

"Nothing as of yet, I will no take no action in this matter. Do as what is commanded of you in these crises, help the afflicted in any way you can and push to establish order." She said curtly, quickly moving her gaze back to the mountains ahead of her. "And... give us word from Dionycece, as this would concern him as well. Make sure he receives word that I would like to see him as soon as possible to see what the situation is, and what he and the other gods are doing in this regards."

Dionycece, a few steps away from the others, watching the proceedings. His cloak was now a bright orange and his staff now in its standard form, though his hair was wild. He then turn his gaze over to the side, and saw a nicely-dressed messenger of sorts approach him. He handed Dionycece a rolled-up scroll, and he read it in silence, then nodded. "This will be most acceptable. I shall see her as soon as I can..." Dionycece tucked the scroll away and slowly left the hall with the messenger.

[Baxten]

Anubis looked at the ground, a bit embarrassed that she said declined his offer and a bit hurt that she didn't greet him with warmth. It was like she didn't even know him, like all those years together meant nothing anymore.

But this strange feeling of desire only intensified the more he thought of how forbidden it was.

He made up his mind. He would go to Vhenan later that night.

As Vega's brother flew back into his palace, Vega just stood there, thinking "How could that...that terrible quim. She denied my brother like he was just a piece of trash. I ought to get revenge on her. But I can't, as she will be a great addition to the rebuilding of Polemos, so I must not try to avenge my brother. Besides, he would be mad at me for a multitude of reasons. Now, I should leave this place. I may look suspicious". With that, Vega flew away towards his palace.

When he landed, he went into his throne room and started thinking random thoughts. He thought to himself "What if I was the reason that my brother lost the love of his life. What if my presence there caused Sesina to deny him, as if she thought it would be a weakness to her. I must not think these thoughts. I must sleep". With that, he went to his bedroom and fell asleep. He had dreams of his brother and him during there childhood, and all of the great times they had together.

[Ruclax]

It was almost sundown and Anubis was ready to head to Vhenan's abode. He flew back to his palace and into his chambers. He told his angles and demons to get ready for the morning where they would help with the reconstruction of the mortal city. He thought about this for a bit before he went off. Standing there on his balcony overlooking the Underworld he thought about how he never appeared to her before. How it was frowned upon...a human becoming a God? "but she is rather pretty, and she does rule over her area with justice. Plus, I do hear she has a great personality....maybe it's because she was human. She seems to understand more...have a different outlook." The more he thought about how this would be forbidden the more his desire for her grew. He thought longer and rationalized that she could not only be the best Queen and Goddess but the best mate Right then he nodded to himself and engulfed himself in his dark smoke and purple fire and vanished.

His black smoke and fire oozed out from the floor of Vhenan's bed chamber. It was a silent appearance, he didn't want to startle her. He appeared before her as she was getting ready to rest. His form was not his usual. He decided that if he looked more like what she was used to; humans, she would be more attracted and comfortable. He had a beautiful form; tall, dirty brown hair, deep grey eyes, fair skin and toned. He had on a black toga with a grey strip that matched his eyes. With is eyes burning with desire he approached her.

"Vhenan, how beautiful you are! All these years of eternity and we never crossed paths; what a shame!..he said with his deep grey eyes looking in hers and with a wide perfect white smile. He then stretched out his hand to taker hers and kissed it-
"It's a pleasure to meet you." -he looked around "And what a magnificent home you have here. "Come" -he held her hand- "let's take a fine evening's walk in the beautiful wood"

[Jaslandia]

At Messalina's Palace of the Scholars, wine and music flowed freely. Intellectuals discussed metaphysics, existentialism, and cynicism, and pondered the nature of the universe. At Messalina's abode, any and all questions were asked and considered, and intelligent discussion was strongly encouraged. Truly, a comparable center of learning and free-thought did not exist in all of Patheos. And presiding over it all, was the Goddess of Education and Learning herself: Messalina.

However, on this day, Messalina's peace would be interrupted. Around midday, a young messenger nymph frantically rushed into the throne room. "Young nymph!" Messalina exchanged. "I can tell that you have important news. What brings you into my palace running about like madman?"

"It is Vega, Goddess," the courier replied. "He has destroyed the city of Polemos, purportedly to put down a rebellion. It's caused a crisis, and several deities have gotten involved."

"Which deities have gotten involved?" Messalina asked.

"Dionycee has intervened, as have Anubis, Lyaldir, and Sesina."

Messalina perked up when she heard Sesina's name. "Sesina?" Messalina questioned. "My dear sister? Oh, it has been so long since I've seen her! Now is as good of a time as any to work with her again. You are dismissed now, messenger." As the courier departed, Messalina began to think.

"I'm sure Sesina could use my help now more than ever," Messalina said to herself. "I shall meet with her at once." With her court watching on, Messalina disappeared in a cloud of purple smoke.


Messalina soon arrived at Sesina's temple, and saw her sister, alone and appearing to be starting some sort of ritual.

"Sessie!" Messalina cried out, referring to Sesina by a childhood nickname. Messalina outstretched her arms and slowly approached the Goddess of Magic, Spirits, and Animals. "It is so good my half-sister again after what seemed like an eternity. I came here to offer my assistance to you regarding the matter of Vega's destruction of Polemos. I am at your service, Sessie."

[Sulania]

Vhenan had subsided, as night engulfed her keep, she felt the mortal calling of sleep beckoning her to her chambers. It was a long day after all, news of the destroyed city to the south certainly created a bustle and commotion in her followers, ripples through the priests and reverends. She walked into her chambers and prepared for sleep, removing her own formal wear and replacing it with a simple royal purple gown for rest. Her hair was let down, her auburn hair resting at her back as she poured some water over her face to wipe away any dirt or marks. Before finding comfort in her bed, however, she gazed over to the painting of her long dead brother. She doesn't know why, but the painting always seemed to be creepy to her. It was painted in the final year of her brother's rule, and it definitely mirrored the madness that engulfed his mind. Dark disheveled hair, complemented by piercing ice blue eyes adorned with black rings of the lack of sleep. His face barren of emotion, as was the only positive spin you could put on him at the time, given the only thing that described him beyond was obsession and cruelty. It was her brother though, even though she was frightened by his face, she could still feel the inkling of love that she still had for him.

It was almost sundown and Anubis was ready to head to Vhenan's abode. He flew back to his palace and into his chambers. He told his angles and demons to get ready for the morning where they would help with the reconstruction of the mortal city. He thought about this for a bit before he went off.

"but she is rather pretty, and she does rule over her area with justice. Plus, I do hear she has a great personality....maybe it's because she was human. She seems to understand more...have a different outlook." The more he thought about how this would be forbidden the more his desire for her grew. He thought longer and rationalized that she could not only be the best Queen and Goddess but the best mate Right then he nodded to himself and engulfed himself in his dark smoke and purple fire and vanished.

His black smoke and fire oozed out from the floor of Vhenan's bed chamber. It was a silent appearance, he didn't want to startle her. He appeared before her as she was getting ready to rest. His form was not his usual. He decided that if he looked more like what she was used to; humans, she would be more attracted and comfortable.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." -he looked around "And what a magnificent home you have here. "Come" -he held her hand- "let's take a fine evening's walk in the beautiful wood"

Vhenan was taken aback at first by the God's sudden appearance in her chambers. A subtle knock first would have been preferred, he may have seen her without clothes or something! Either way though, she turned away from the painting of her brother and returned it to the intruder. "Y'know, most men tend to knock before entering a woman's chambers, I guess the gods are exempt from the social grace." She said, though while a jest, she still held her face with a serious attitude, not cracking a smile.

That is, until he kissed her hand and presented with such a warm introduction. She can't say the God wasn't a handsome man, well toned and she found his brown hair quite attractive. However, still put off by how immediate he appeared, she felt it would be better to know who she was dealing with before going anywhere with this man. "While I do find your offer to be agreeable, I must first know of who you are. Surely, it would be foolish for I to go with a man who has yet to introduce who he in fact is, along with where said wood is as there are plenty of woods in the lands."

[Markotovia]

Sesina was gathering ingredients while looking through her Grimoire, when her sister appeared. Sesina had not spoken to her for hundreds of years, and their relationship was rather distant.

"Messie! It's.... It's been so long. What brings you here at this time?"

With a discreet wave of her hand, she magically flipped the pages of her Grimoire so her sister would not see the Love Ritual.

[Ruclax]

His heart had dropped when she answered him. Never before had he seen such beauty. He actually felt...love. Originally he thought that he would hoodwink her into thinking was just was a lesser god only until later to reveal himself as one of the ancients ones but after a while of thinking; looking into her eyes, he thought again. He would tell her the truth. She is too beautiful to lie to..his stomach itched with nerves. He thought this would be easier "Jeez how can I lie to that face..well let's just tell her the truth. Might as well, I mean especially if I am ask her to be with me and Queen and Goddess of Afterlife."

He stood there before her and smiled. He ran his fingers through his dirty brown hair and looked at her.
" I am Anubis, God of the Afterlife, Death and Judgement of Souls. -He kissed her hand again- and I am thrilled to meet you. I had herd of your beauty and your merciful rule; in fact many souls who died peacefully in your kingdom spoke well of you. And it's only until now that I realize how wrong they were. You are not beautiful at all.....

"You are Stunning! Prepossessing in every way"- he said with a warm smile. I admire the way you rule over your people as well; you have a great gift...one that not even the Gods posses. The Afterlife, the souls(all of them mortal and non-mortal) needs a good mother...a good and beautiful Goddess, strong however and fierce. And I think you are that person- he said with a blush.
So I just wanted to know if you would want to take a stroll with me; on this gorgeous night. I,thought we should get to know each other..... If this is something would be interested in....he said tilting his head to the side and smiling.

Sesina was gathering ingredients while looking through her Grimoire, when her sister appeared. Sesina had not spoken to her for hundreds of years, and their relationship was rather distant.

"Messie! It's.... It's been so long. What brings you here at this time?"

With a discreet wave of her hand, she magically flipped the pages of her Grimoire so her sister would not see the Love Ritual.

Messalina chuckled at the mention of her old childhood nickname. Messalina stood before her sister.

"Oh, I haven't heard that nickname in ages," Messalina said wistfully, as she thought back to her and Sesina's younger years. "Anyway, I heard what Vega did in Polemos. I heard you got involved, and I wanted to help you resolve this little crisis. Some mediation, perhaps? Retribution, if needed? But first, you must update me on what exactly happened."

Vhenan was a little stunned at the man's... The God's offer. Stunned, and a tad little resentful at this prospect of what he was hinting to, to rule with him despite this being the first time they met and he the only thing he seems to know of her was her reputation as well as her looks. If she was truly right in what she suspected, she would be taken aback by his immediate rush to such a thing without getting to know her personally. Though, what could a walk do? Surely it's of no consequence, she simply would prepare herself for the walk and be on her way with him. "Well, I suppose I could grant you a walk in the wood, a stroll. Though I must dress for such an occasion, walking the woods in but a gown is foolish." She said as she walked behind a folding wall, that blocked the man's view as she was getting dressed in some more practical attire.

"So..." She said as she slipped on some leather boots. "I'm assuming you know of my history, Anubis? I am no mysterious stranger after all, even though I am a pariah among the gods and I have no doubt some resent me for what I am, but do you know how I came to be what I am today?" She finished, slipping on a simple yet hardy blouse that while practical still had some regal patterns and attire with it.

He couldn't help but smile that she yes to the walk. His plan was to simply walk and talk; get to know her. After she was finished dressing he took a good look at her. "Wow" he thought. This was the first time he would truly get to know a Goddess for the person she was, not the deity she was. He was enthralled.

He titled his head inquisitively
"I actually do not know the whole story! But, come, let's walk..you can tell me all about it- he said as he held out his arm.

Before Vhenan even considered taking his arm, she attached her scabbard containing the Divine Blade to her belt for protection. Not from Anubis, but from any creatures that lurk in the wood. Upon finishing that, she gladly took the arm of Anubis. While she likely would be safe already with Anubis, it's a better safe than sorry sort of thing for her own protection. "Good." She said when he replied to her question. "I like talking about myself anyway." She said jokingly, letting loose a light smile after saying it to prove she was joking, and not displaying vanity and hubris.

She took one last look at her brother's portrait before departing with the God of Death, relieved at no longer having to see it while also feeling something odd about it. No matter, she had more important things to attend to in the meantime, such as the stroll with the handsome and powerful Anubis.
