Chapter 8 - A Maiden's Journey through time

At this point Violet was 46, yet she still looked 18 which she didn't notice before in the other timeline they were in for a few days without anything much happening, "hey Timothy, why do I still look so young?" Violet asked, "oh that, gods don't change appearance past the age of 18, it's quite convenient since we are most powerful at 18." Timothy replied, "was it always like that?" Violet asked, "not before our king used his power and control over heaven to make it like that." Timothy replied, "guess I'm learning more and more about the past as we go through worlds." Violet said.

They had arrived at the fourth world a week before, and were looking for a castle, "are we just going to let Felex keep rampaging?" Violet said, "that's why were looking for a castle, if we find a castle, he just might come down and go after us." Inz said, "wouldn't that endanger the people?" Violet said, "If something big happens, I'll use my lighting to take it down." Lein replied.

"guess were more prepared than I thought." Violet mumbled to herself, they arrived at a castle after wandering around the area for a couple days more.

"here we are." Inz said, "we don't know any of the people here or how their system works, so just lay low and go deeper into the castle and look for the king." Lein said, "we look so suspicious, how do we NOT stand out?" Violet said, "the gate's this way, we should go behind the castle first, be on the lookout for guards."

Timothy teleports everyone into the back of the castle, "good looks like there are only 2 guards at the door, along with the garden caretakers, quietly now everyone." Timothy said, Lein paralyzes everyone in the garden, Inz and Timothy then check inside as Violet goes to the second floor to signal if it's clear, "for a castle their defenses are really bad." Violet thought.

"is it clear up there Violet?" Timothy asked, Violet went to the nearby window that looks over the garden to signal the others to go in when a blast suddenly hit Violet in the back, knocking her out the window, the shattered glass cut Violet a couple of times as she fell, Violet just barely caught herself with magic as the others look u at the second floor.

"Ow! what was that?" Violet said, "I don't know, I can't see inside with all the smoke." Timothy said, "look! guards are coming out from the hall!" Lein said, "Lein paralyze them but not too badly!" Timothy ordered, Lein set a electric trap at the front and middle of the hall, the soldiers triggered the traps and got paralyzed, "be careful, there's still something up there!" a man wearing a magic hood jumped down from the second out of the smoke and shot fireballs at Violet and Inz, "Violet, magic barrier!" Inz ordered, Violet put up a magic barrier, but one fireball hit Violet in the back, "their also behind us!" Violet shouted.

"make it a full barrier and cover us!" Timothy said, Violet made the barrier larger so that it could cover all of the gods, "hey, where's your king! we want to meet him!" Timothy shouted, Inz tended to Violet's wounds as she held up the barrier, "you've gotten a lot more powerful than when we first met Violet." Inz said, "must be because I got more of my memories back." Violet replied.

Violet got healed by Inz and reinforced the barrier with more layers.

"a divine barrier." the hooded man said, "who are you lot?" the man said looking at the gods, "isn't it obvious who we are? I'm the god of lightning, this is the god of ice, this is the god of time and this is the original god of time." Lein told the man, "I see." the man replied, "what kind of reply is that?" Violet thought, "I shall get the king, everyone settle down." the man told the others to cance their spells.

then a man wearing a red cape and a golden crown with jewels imbedded in it, came out and greeted the gods as Violet put down the barrier, "I'm terribly sorry, gods, this was a misunderstanding, we thought you were all thieves, but after seeing that barrier, we believe you." the king said, "but were going to have to lock that girl up." the king pointed his finger at Violet, "huh?" Violet said with a soft voice, "wait, what did I do?" Violet said, you paralyzed all my men, then snuck into my castle and nearly destroyed the second floor!" the king said, "huh?!" Violet was annoyed by the king so much that she wanted to straight up knock him out and dump him in a river, "uh, she wasn't the one responsible for all that, I was the one who paralyzed your men." Lein told the king, "and the second floor was destroyed by your hooded mage over there."

"yeah!" Inz followed after Lein, "oh, no need to be so humble gods! you don't need to give mercy to a mortal!" Violet had a change of plans, she wanted to dump him in a river then freeze it up with him in a body bag.

"you're really getting on my nerves old man." Violet angrily said at the king, "I'm a god too you know, the original god of magic at that!" Violet was so annoyed that she was really about to do what she said she was going to do earlier, "how dare you talk back to me like that, and you calling yourself the god of magic! ridiculous!" the king laughed, "the barrier earlier wasn't made by us, it was made by Violet over there, and I think you should stop saying that or else." Lein whispered in the king's ear, "wait, really? that girl over there, is the god of magic? but I thought the god of magic had white hair and purple eyes?"

Lein and Inz explained the whole story to the king who didn't understand much of what they were saying, "so you're saying that she is the original god of magic, and the goflet is a replacement?"

"exactly," Lein said, "don't call me a mortal or a say anything to me, unless if you have a death wish" Violet said with a black and red aura around her with a deathly stare in her eyes, Timothy had to go calm Violet down, when Violet calmed down, she still told the king not to talk to her.

after a couple negotiations, the king told the gods that they could stay in the nation for as long as they wanted, so long as they helped him in return by solving some of his problems, "alright, the king told us to fix five of his problems, Violet you got for the monster camps surround the towns, Lein you go and try to fix up the mills and other things that they need fixing, Inz you go help keep the nearby lake from drying up, and I'll go around doing his trades that he can't attend to, then we all meet up here for the final task."

"roger that!" everyone said.

they all proceeded to go do their assigned task.
