"Father where is he?" I screamed asking where he was. Did he die? No it can't be.
I can't believe that he died. The other New Gods who went to fight only looked down at the floor.
The Wind God spoke up "I will tell you that he fought bravely but he died because of the deceased Head God foolishness."
I could sense lie in the second part of the sentence but I didn't speak a word.
I was hidden from the Head God since my father cherished me as if his life depends only on me. I tried not to cry.
It was the most painful thing to do. The Water God tells a bad news I could feel it "We have a meeting in a hour. You have to be present even though it is painful. Please we will be waiting for you."
Water God knows how to distract the pain but going to the court and sitting on it will be the most painful thing of all. It will remind me of father because the seat must have his scent. His sword beside the seat that he carried for his battles.
How much did we sacrifice? It was because of Head God I know it.
I stopped my friends to ask something else " Wait! What about the Head God? Is he alive?"
The Ice God said loudly "Everyone in this generation has died! Only we heirs are alive! Maybe I will do a suicide because I don't feel like living at all without my father."
"Agreed!" All shouted in unison. Except for Sun God. "Please reconsider your decision." I said pleading them but they just left. So I have to take my revenge myself.
The Water God spoke up "I will not die very easily." I looked up. She was so far away. Her tears trickled down her face.
I wanted to talk but she signalled me with a sign to not talk any further.
Help was something I earned. But I guess I just wanted revenge. How naive of me.
The next day excluding me and the Water God everyone did what they decided. All in one room. They were hanged from the ceiling. It was a dreadful sight to hold.
Last evening, we all agreed to let humans be our apprentices and now they suicide. So intentionally they want the humans to take control of the Gods.
The Head God came and spoke to me with a hint of coldness in her eyes. "You know what was happening? Why didn't you stop them?" I answered "I can't stop something that is already decided."
"You just want to see more of us dead, I assume." That side gaze was a little terrifying than my father's. It was telling me to tell the truth or you may get burned.
I shivered by her gaze and spoke "We... we all wanted revenge. But they decided to suicide because they can't live without their fathers."
She then told me "I have already taken the revenge of my father and theirs and this is what I get. Sis we are leaving."
"How many times shall I tell you don't call me 'sis' in the public!"
They disappeared and I was speechless.
She has taken revenge. When? For whom? For herself? For us? Is it because she regard us as her friends? I couldn't make out.
Yes she has seen her father die but even their fathers. They too went to battle. Something happened in the battle that I am not aware of. What was it?
I should then be relieved that my revenge is over. But why did they suicide? So many questions I have no answers for.
Then there is something I did not realise. "Please father" I became angry and my tone change. "Give me your guidance for what I am about to do!"
