,
The councils of elders sat in the temple. Each had a look of confusion and utter disgust.
They looked at each other as they waited for the king and queen to grace them with their presence.
"We have to do something about him, he cannot keep destroying all the hard work we have put into his generation" Philautia the elder of self -love said.
"He has mocked us in every way possible, he needs to be punished!"
"I agree! It is utterly appalling to see him undo so much of what we have done" Mania the elder of obsessive love said, his blue eyes shining with dis contempt.
The trumpet sang alerting the eight elders of love as the king and queen approach the temple doors. They all stood up to show respect and honor to the king and his mother, the queen.
King Tyrone walked in looking every bit like a king.his caramel skin glowing, his light brown eyes shining, his full lips were set in a small smile, resting on the black mane on his head was a golden crown with markings on it telling the tales of love from century to century.
His mother walked by his side, her small lips set in a sultry grin, as was she the embodiment of lust in its purest form. Queen Teicu was as beautiful as the purest rose petal. Her brown skin glowed radiantly. On top of her beautiful full black hair was also a golden tiara but unlike the king, hers showed the different markings of pain and pleasure.
They both sat down on the throne which sat at the foot of the statue of Aphrodite. King Tyrone gestured to the elders to take a seat.
"Thank you all for coming to this meeting." King Tyrone said "this meeting is under the watchful gaze of our highness, Goddess Aphrodite"
A few seconds of silence was followed to praise the goddess of love.
"Let start," the queen said after 30 seconds of silence.
Immediately, angry murmurs could be heard all around the throne room.
The queen and king just looked at each elder with slight annoyance.
"Quiet!" a voice as sweet as honey boomed, making the room shake due to the force. All knees except the king and queen dropped to the floor in honor of the guest.
Aphrodite stood in the center of the room, her appearance hidden to all except the king and queen; only her presence and voice could be felt and heard.
"Do not disrespect me, do not forget whose temple you are currently in" she said again in a voice as gently as a summer breeze but deadly as the fire in Tartarus.
"My Goddess, please forgive us. The situation on hand is making us deranged" Storge the elder of familiar love said.
"I know my dear child but you do not let little things like this bother you, for you are elders of love," she said gently.
"Do not forget, love is the most powerful force out there, with love you can stop a full war, with love the worst of days will seem like a walk in the heavens" she said moving closer to the statue of herself.
"We have been around since the beginning of days; we have seen the evil in men's hearts "another step closer to her statue.
"And we have conquered and thrived. We are the most feared and highly desired in the world. So do not think yourself as useless as you feel right now."
She said now standing in front of the statue. The elders watched as the king stood from his throne and walked down the steps to meet the goddess of love.
He took a bow and took her left hand in his and kissed it and placed it on his forehead as a sign of her power and seniority over him.
They both walked hand in hand to the throne where she sat down and he stood proudly behind her. Still invisible to the crowd of elders in the room, she gestured to the king to continue the meeting.
"We have a solution to the problem at hand, he need no more bother yo,u," he said going back down the stairs.
"But sire, his heart is full of hate and anger" Agape the elder of unconditional love said.
"Well, what do you expect? his life has been nothing but misery upon misery. I have seen and felt his pain all through his life. He does not need to be punished, he needs to be reminded" the queen said.
She took a deep breath as her crown began to glow. Wails and sorrowful sobs could be heard from the crown as it projected the pain of the one they speak off for the whole room to hear and behold.
Aphrodite cringed at the sound of the painful wails; for she knew as well what he had gone through. How he had prayed for death.
"He needs to be reminded what love feels like" Eros the elder of romantic love said.
"Exactly, we must find the best Anjelica to send," the king said.
"Do not trouble yourself so much my king" Aphrodite said "I know the perfect Anjelica to send, for she has never failed a mission."
She took a deep breath and summoned "bring forth the Mistress of desire."
Everyone gasp except the queen for she already knows who has to be sent and what the outcome will be. she had already discussed it with the Queen beforehand.
"Are you sure my love?" king Tyrone asked Aphrodite.
"My king, she is more than perfect for what I have in mind" hs d smiled at her beloved
"No one is more perfect" agreed his mother the queen...
