"I love that idea." Velka said while looking like she was in thought. "I knew you would that's why you all need to behave, one mishap and I'm kicking you off the high table." Luther said pointedly to Kali. Kali just rolled her eyes. She was attatched to Luther so this was going to be hard. She loved her magic more so she would deal.
"You know you should be telling yourself this Luther. I mean you were kind of the reason Mazaya went all psycho." Lucas said with no remorse. "Enough. I know what I did wrong and I won't..." Luther stopped talking and looked around to see what got everyone quiet. Once he notice Exodus The God of Gods he smiled. This was going to be a great day.
"You're sure Mazaya won't come barging in here right." Lucas rushed out saying while looking around like she would appear at any moment. Luther looked at him and shook his head. "Yes I'm sure. She'll be out for like 8 mortal days while the magic works through her mind, the Goddess of Memory and The Goddess of Emotions said. Now shut it." Luther quietly said annoyance evident in his tone.
Everyone at the table relaxed. 8 days was a good amount of time. Days were longer in the magic realm so most Gods went by mortal time rather than the realms days. One full day was atleast 3 mortal days, If not more. In the realm nothing was normal or stayed the same.
"Hello everyone. I am glad you could all join me here today. I have a few important announcements to make. But first thing I would like to do is congratulate My son in Law Luther The God of Dark Powers on his wedding with my lovely daughter Mazaya The Goddess of Wisdom and Creation. If everybody would like to give them a round of applause." Exodus said to the room full of counsel members.
Half of the room was cheering and clapping their hands while the other half was quiet. This was not the news they wanted to hear and now all of them were questioning what was about to happen today. They all were questioning the rumors and why Mazaya wasn't taking over at first. Now the light side was worried. Marriage was big for people who were in power.
Exodus looked at all the Gods who weren't clapping and shook his head. "I know that this news will take some time to swallow for some but Eventually you'll have to come to terms with it, especially because of the next piece of news I'm delivering." He paused to watch everyone's reaction. The God of light was fisting his hands. Anger was radiating off of him. Even though he was a light God he could still have negative emotions.
The Goddess of Emotions whispered to him "Do you need me to help you reel in some of that anger?"
Kye shook his head. "No I'm fine." The God of emotion looked at Kye and shook his head. There were multiple tiers of Gods and Goddesses that were basically the same but not really the same. So the goddess and god of emotion were sitting by Kye. Kye just needed to talk to Exodus. He would wait to see who would be announced next ruler. His emotions were fine.
Exodus waited a bit to take in everyone's reaction and continued his speech. "So all of you may have heard that I was stepping down and I'm here to confirm that. I have actually officially stepped down and appointed power to someone else already." Exodus got interrupted by all of the commotion from his news. There was chaos in the meeting room. "QUIET." Everyone stopped talking with the pure power in Exodus voice.
"Now like I was saying I have already appointed power and would like to introduce the person who is taking over for me. I would like everyone to give a warm welcome to your new leader Luther The God of Dark powers." Exodus exclaimed. The room went crazy, Dark gods were cheering and celebrating because they would finally get their powers back, while the light Gods were yelling and not taking it well.
Luther and Kye walked up at the same time. The latter was not smiling like the former. "What is the meaning of this?" Kye yelled making everyone in the hall stop talking. "He is dark. He is set to destroy the world how could you do something this irresponsible and where is Mazaya I need to talk to her." Kye said completely losing his composure.
"How about we talk about this after." Exodus tried to reason. Luther was just watching with pure amusement. "No" Kye yelled. "Kye I need you to go sit down and relax. We'll talk after this meeting." Exodus said with no room for argument but Kye didnt care.
"No I think we need to talk now about why you just gave power to the same God that Mazaya had to take power away from." Kye yelled.
