~ODETTE'S POV~
I couldn't believe what I had almost done.
I almost burned my childhood best friend's soul for eternity.
I needed to get a grip on my goddess powers.
Kalvin was a scumbag, yeah, but not one that deserved the death penalty. He wasn't a traitor. Just a cheater. And the world was filled with dishonesty of all kinds; most weren't worthy of death.
Especially not that kind of permanent death.
My head was a mess.
"You're okay, you can stop shaking."
I hadn't even realized I was shaking.
"You have to remember, you are a goddess, which means you have a temper and the power to back it up. People are responsible for not triggering the wrath of a goddess, just as you are responsible for how you hurt your people. Don't carry this weight alone." He spoke low and calm. His voice was holding me together. I was hanging on his every word for dear life.
