Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: Destiny

Last part of the POV of The Emperor.

He woke up by the white light that was coming from the crib.

He walked towards the crib. His eyes widened, as his eyes set sight to the puma that body is as bright as the Helios light.

Its body is full of jewels, some are sapphires, some are gold and attached with diamonds. Its jewels matched its golden fur.

Its tiara has 3 different types of gemstone the middle was sapphire that was snapped as drop, the right side was ruby and its shape is navette and the left side was aquamarine, also shaped as a navette.

It was big and was making Celestine comfortable. The puma looked at The Emperor with its earth eyes.

The puma tried to gently withdraw from the arms of Celestine that are around its body without waking her. It stands up, and slowly approaches The Emperor.

The puma bowed before him and said, "Nice to meet you, the new generation of, Devon."

The Emperor was still in awe. It's... It's the goddess of Niara... Is right in front of my eyes...

Something that made The Emperor recognize her was the gold necklace that has a small dagger pendant that was made in sapphires.

Niara is the planet they are on. That's the name of a goddess. That was once the goddess of war. Everyone in the land of gods knows her, some loved her, and some looked at her in jealousy.

Niara is a goddess that is loved by the leader of all gods, but one day, she lost her life in the fight between the demons and the gods.

The leader of all gods got angry that instead of killing the demons, he killed all goddesses not one of them was left alive.

He killed them for one reason that made every single god that loved their partner riot, the reason was... He doesn't want to fall in love again. He was killed in the war that he created, it also created the downfall of gods.

Soon after the downfall of the gods, the mana that was from their dead body got out.

Their mana formed like a circle, it was like the light of the stars and wandered around below the land of gods and created a whole new universe.

All of the mana created many different galaxies and, one of them was the Milkyway.

With the head of the puma on the floor, something came out from its tiara and necklace. It was a woman's soul, she was the goddess Niara.

The goddess dress is inspired by the Greek toga, which is merely a large piece of fine fabric draped over a shoulder and often attached with a belt.

So the puma was not the goddess but the goddess' soul's animal. He said to himself.

"Find them." Was the word that the goddess said, the modulated voice of the goddess was something that you want to hear every day but also can scare you.

Caitel shook his head and stuttered, "W- Who am I going to find goddess?" He said looking down, trying his best not to sound his usual rude tone.

"Find the new 5 goddesses," she said while her head looking at Celestine.

"I'll give you 5 months to find them if you can't find any of the 5... Then it means destiny will form them." She caressed Celestines head, kissed her forehead, and whispered, "you'll find your friends sooner or later don't worry too much about her. Sleep well, my child"

After whispering to Celestine, her soul slowly disappeared, as well as the puma that is now only visible in Celestines eyes.

Celestine started to move and started to cry. The Empress wake up and looked at The Emperor, "Dear, can you please calm her down and feed her, please?"

He shook his head and looked at Celestine, "shh, dad's here." He then got her in his arms and calmed her down.

The Empress got out of the bed and hugged him behind his back, "Is everything, okay?" Worry was in her tone.

He turned around with Celestine in his right arms, his left hands patted Avery's head and moved it closer so that he could kiss her, "Yes, Everything is fine, your highness"

"Tel, I know something is making you worry, tell me if you can't do anything to reduce that worry, okay?" She said, her ruby eyes full of worry.

"Yes, your majesty," he said smiling at his wife.

"Quit it." Her attitude changed in one second.

"Woah, aren't you just worried about me? Why did your attitude change from worried to angry?" He said smiling at her.

"Quit that honorific, it's making me feel like I am getting kidnap by a lion." She said, while her figures were grasped by her daughter.

"Look at her, she's deep asleep," The Empress said with a big smile on her lips. Caitel looked at Avery and said, "When are they gonna meet their sister?"

"I think 5 months from now. It's gonna be less dangerous for her." She said her smile slowly starting to fade.

"Why are your smile fading? Everything is going to be fine." His smile was wide but it was empty, "Lay down, for now, you're still bleeding, come on." He assisted Avery with Celestine in his hands.

After Avery was in the bed laying down, Caitel puts Celestine beside her, "I'll be going for now. I'll tell the head maid to serve you your breakfast"

"Hmmm, okay. Be careful, tel." She said as he is exiting the room. He tried around and smiled, "I will, my love."

5 months later

He still has yet to find any of the 5 new goddesses. He talked with the goddess in a dream and, she said, "That's okay you tried your best... Destiny will bring them together.

The next day, he visited Celestine after 5 months to visit the 4 princes and The Emperor's chamber, called the Iolite palace.
