At aetherion the gods felt a slight surge of familiar energy it was the first time they sensed it without being able to know who possessed it,among the four realms of aetherion thaloryn felt the presence more.In the depths of thaloryn the raging water realm of aetherion it was shaken by a invisible force it was so disturbing it bothered keltharos the god of the sea,he was one of the powerful Lord's of aetherion.

It was the second time I felt this strong and strange energy,it kept me pondering on different thoughts.Who could have such energy?why is thaloryn the only realm it affected the most?was the energy outburst a message or threat of some kind.Different thoughts kept racing through my mind as the leader of a realm as powerful as mine I had to stay vigilant to even the smallest threat it was my duty as the King to protect my realm."lady gravena is here your Highness"a servant informed me taking me away from my thoughts "escort her to my inner chamber"I ordered.Gravenna goddess of netharox(the underworld) is my bethrothed we have been for a century,we weren't in love though our relationship was based on a alliance to prevent a war from unfolding although we weren't in love we had a mutual relationship we respected each other space and decisions it was the best we could do.I arrived at my personal chambers I met gravena there waiting for me,she was wearing her usual dark royal gown with Jewelry of bones to match, her darkly radiant beauty was ever evident one look at her anyone could tell she was the queen of darkness her aura was as powerful.
We exchanged pleasantries and hugged each other "you look stunning"I sincerely complimented "you flatter me "she said with a mild smile "what troubles you?"she asked "nothing"I replied I didn't want to bother her with issues concerning my realm I had mine to care so does she "you can't hide your thoughts from me your expression says it all,you can confide in me I'm your bethrothed"she said "there was a sudden energy wave it has occurred twice it is strong I can't help but think who has it or why it affects my realm"I opened up to her I new I couldn't keep her in the dark "I have also felt it , very powerful I have tried to find who possessed it but there is no god or goodness with that type of energy I feel drawn to it like it is trying to convey a message to me "she said "If no immortal is responsible for it then I'm afraid it is from a mortal"I said "it can't be possible unless it is a demigod"she said "I will go and search for the source of the energy"I said "there is no need for that "she said "there is as long as it pose a threat to my kingdom "I said"if you say so how long are you going to seek the demigod "she asked"as long as it takes there is no need for you to worry about me I will be back as soon as I left "I said comforting her while I stroked her hair"I have something to tell you when you get back so don't take too long "she said"I won't I promised I will come back as soon as possible then we will complete our marriage rites"I told her"that would be nice that way the allaniance will be sealed "she said with a satisfying smile on her face.we talked for a while before kissing her goodbye,I wondered if marrying her was a good idea she is a powerful goddess there was no doubt we would have a powerful bloodline.she was the perfect goddess, she is brave , respected and understanding but I couldn't seem to love her wholeheartedly maybe it was cause she is the goddess of death and she naturally had an intense amount of dark aura but I knew that wasn't it her powers was necessary to keep the balance of life stable, maybe it was cause she is a lonely goddess so I felt her feelings weren't genuine she just gave me attention cause she wanted to feel love I didn't want her to get married to me and regret it.
I recalled how we got bethrothed,it was about two century ago both of our fathers were in love with a particular goddess (the goddess of fate)she got married to gravenna father tamel he is the supreme god of aetherion but she loved my father sandile.She had an affair with my father it enraged tamel when he found out it was an insult to him he couldn't withstand the thought of his beloved wife sharing a bed with another god so war broke out the heavens split into two they were casualties at both sides.At the time the goddess of fate just gave birth to gravenna ,a fertility test proved she was the child of tamel few days after the birth of gravenna her mother disappeared from aetherion.Gravenna was the first child of the royal blood line ,to stop the war from causing more casualties and damages all the realms pleaded for a marriage alliance between the children of the two Kings.Tamel was reluctant at first he didn't want his precious daughter to marry the son of his enemies neither could he continue the war that was how the alliance was formed,I stopped myself from thinking unnecessarily and prepared to go to the mortal realm to find the demigod.

I struggled to open my tired eyes I found myself in a wooden cabin in the forest,I forced my weak body to Stand up then I searched my environs with my eyes"you are finally awake"I heard lady Dian voice behind me she ushered me back to the bed"you are still weak you should rest"she said "w..what happened"I asked confused.she narrated everything that happened to me "I brought you here cause it is no longer safe in the capital after what happened people have been saying other wise I'm afraid you need to lay low for a while"she said.My body felt strange I couldn't understand what happened at the festival my body was still weak so I passed out again.
