(Gravenna pov)
I spent a few days with my father before returning to my realm to tend to my duties,I couldn't help sharing his burden about the moonlit lady I kept pondering about the issue although Solaris was already investigating the issue.I wasn't worried about Solaris he was one of the strong and respected war gods he had fought against unimaginable opponents always prevailing he is a primordial god born from the first ray of light he is feared amongst gods as a primordial being he couldn't be compared to most gods who are birthed by gods and goddesses,I didn't like like him but I admire his raw pure energy.I sat on my Lotus throne when I was done with my duties and kept thinking about the prophecy,as the goddess of death most of my prophecies was either tragic or dark they all came to past I just hoped this one would be an exception of it , it was going to be a gory and bloody fates for immortals and mortals alike."could it be the moonlit lady was the owner of the mysterious energy wave if so she is a formidable opponent"I thought to myself,there was something about her that made me drawn to her it was her looks and aura .She carried a mysterious aura with evident beauty her presence alone seems to bring peace she is the complete contrast of myself,she was light I was darkness.
At times I wished I didn't possess such dreadful power or being the goddess of death and certainly not the royal princess of aetherion,I wasn't being ungrateful just thinking about the possibilities of how good my life would have been with less power and priorities.As the goddess of death I was what most immortals prayed for, I'm the queen of a enormous realm,I had the power to control souls, I'm the only successor of my father the almighty god of the sky I was the perfect creation to some but to me it was an everlasting burden that I couldn't lift from my shoulders.I loved the darkness it was part of me it made me whole I couldn't help being heartless it is embedded in my soul,I appreciate everything about myself but to others I was a merciless killer who dotes on the pleasure of killing I wasn't loved I'm feared everything about me makes people dread I'm a natural disaster.My face revealed a lopsided grin as I think about the centuries I have lived in aetherion, growing up as the young royal princess I had crowds of immortals who wanted to befriend me a terrible accident happened.I was at starhaven(my father palace) playing in the courtyard with my age group when what was meant to be a mere mistake turned into chaos,we were learning archery.volka the young goddess of spring held a bow and arrow aiming for a peach she lost balance shooting me in the chest close to my heart,she rushed to my side worried"gravenna I'm sorry"she apologized crying she tried healing me with her powers but it was pointless since she hadn't awakened her powers.i laid on the ground with blood soaking my garment,I clucthed my chest trying to understand what was going on I could feel my life force draining but I couldn't feel even the slightest ounce of pain I slowly closed my eyes expecting death unknown to me I was awakening my powers .
"Kill her"a voice ordered softly my strength returned to me in hundreds folds misty aura surrounded me I rose to my feet my eyes became pitch black my nails elongated into claws,I appeared right in front of volka who was some distance away from me .I plunged my hand into her chest and dug her beating heart I crushed it with ease to the amazement of the ignorant young gods and goddesses,volka watched me destroy her heart right in front of her she couldn't do anything as blood splatter from her mouth till she died.According to the immortals present they said I had a grin on my face when I killed her,I only came back to my senses when volka had died my father and volka mother was informed of what happened.My father didn't care that I killed my friend instead he was proud I had awakened my power , he was glad I was powerful although my actions caused harm to mortals he couldn't care less.I was saddened by my actions I couldn't look at volka mother I felt like a monster, being the only child of her mother( goddess of the harvest) her death left her mother in perpetual agony and dismay she left her duties as a goddess and mourned the loss of her daughter, during this period mortals experience farmine for years until the gods found a way to atone for my mistake.They granted her the privilege to stay with her daughter in the afterlife for six months every year, whenever she wasn't with her daughter she went into mourning causing another famine that is why mortals experience winter and summer.
To prove to everyone that I wasn't a monster I worked to the extreme,I trained till I was given a realm to govern I fought wars even war gods were afraid to indulge in .I did more than what was expected from me I have birth the Yatus brothers ( the three Judges of the underworld)without a partner ,to produce asexually was difficult for God's who weren't primordials it only shows I'm powerful.
Even with my great achievements immortals kept Thier distance, I was always alone in my realm even though I was bethrothed it made no difference.Keltharos hardly kept me company although my son's did but most of the times they were busy judging the souls of all who died.im the darkest of beings even my realm was shadow with little ounce of light I didn't hate my life I just wished I could be a little happier although it felt far from me
