"I can set her free, let her soul rest in peace and if you permit, maybe even send her into the cycle of rebirth. We can keep her memories in tact or erase them. She will never know." The Goddess said as her heart started to race while Ariana's face paled.
"....Why..." Ariana whispered.
"Why what?" The Goddess replied as a sweet tasting sensation entered her mouth.
"Why is she not moving?" Ariana asked as her voice trebled with every word. The Goddess's eyes lit up. "Because of my graces!" The Goddess shouted excitedly as she started to countdown from 30 in her head.
