The cursed
Chapter 26
Part of the team
It's the next day, Alysia and Lydia are in the library in late morning, trying to get more knowledge on demons and deities' weaknesses. Postinur is at Lystra checking on the goings on of the kingdom. The king and queen are having their siesta.
Alysia: All these books, no hidden truth of the supernaturals?
Lydia: Keep searching! Search well Lazy girl. Don't only read the titles go through the books too. It might be written somewhere and in an hidden place of the book. Like why will someone write THE WEAKNESSES OF GODS AND DEMONS as titles?
Alysia: Huh, you are right!
(Gets hold of a book) What's this? THE BEGINING OF THE SUPERNATURALS
Lydia: Okay let's start with this. (Takes the book from her and opens it, she and Alysia sits on the sofa and begin the first chapter) Sisi read it out (passes the book back to Alysia)
Alysia: (starts reading it) In the beginning, there was the Almighty. The Almighty was in the world alone and soon became lonely. He then created heavenly bodies who were just like him to keep him company and he called them angels. But then again they were all powerful and spiritual and the Almighty wanted something natural and physical. Then he made the earth and everything in it, even all kinds of animals, on land, in the sea and in the air.
Lydia: These are stories our mother tells us. It's a common story. Then he created both humans, male and female and they lived together. Skip this chapter and go to the next
Alysia: Alright, next chapter!
But then an Arch angel rebelled the Almighty. He wanted to usurp the Almighty because he thought they were equal. The Almighty got angry and casted him down along with his supporters. Some fell in waters and those are the Marine entities like mermaids and mermen. Some fell on trees, some on air and some on land. These followers of the Arch angel were called demons and the subordinates closer to the Arch angel were called gods and goddesses. The Arch angel was called D-EVIL, DEVIL.
Lydia: Wow! I was never told all these! Wow. So there is a supernatural being called DEVIL, bigger and mightier than Zeus?
Alysia: You just heard it. Zeus is just a subordinate
Lydia: I love this book. Continue please
Alysia: (continues) Not long, the fallen angels started to fall in love with the female humans the Almighty created on Earth and started to interbreed with them. And this resulted in the creation of half demons and humans which now become witches, wizarda, suckers of blood and others. Then evil began to spread into the world. It was not yet in parts of the world where the pure humans lived until Pandora,a goddess who got married to a human, opened a box which her god brother gave to her, not to open but to admire. But Pandora, who was the goddess of curiosity, was so curious that she opened it and everything evil flew into the rest of the world, spreading to everywhere that every human now knows both good and evil. (Lydia gasps)
Lydia, this is a long story. Please, who cares about all this? Let's go through to see if we will know any of their weaknesses
Lydia: (pouts) It was a good story before. (Alysia glares) Alright, Alright! Turn to the next chapter
Alysia: (Turns to the next chapter) There's nothing here. (Turns to the other chapter) Blablabla Zeus, blabla bla bla, slept with a virgin, bla bla bla, Medusa
Lydia: Medusa! We all know about the innocent girl that Zeus slept with and turned her into a monster
Alysia: There's something I just noticed! Zeus weakness was beautiful females. He just couldn't resist sleeping and impregnating them!
Lydia: Yes, that's for Zeus. How does it affect us? Zeus isn't against us!
Alysia: True. (Turn pages) Pass, pass, pass, Eros, pass pass, Hedes, pass, pass, Thanatos! Jack pot!
Thanatos was among the many children Nyx had. Nyx is the goddess of sleep, she grants peaceful sleep to everyone
Lydia: That means, there are some good gods and goddesses
Alysia: That's what it seems
Lydia: Continue
Alysia: Nyx gave birth to gods and goddesses without having an intercourse. She gave birth to both good and bad alike. God of revenge, god of dreams, god of anger, god of hatred, god of friendship, goddess of violent death, Keres and god of peaceful death, Thanatos.
Lydia: Uh? Thanatos is of peaceful death and Keres is of violent death? Thanatos is a good guy?? (Confused)
Alysia: Hmm, this is confusing! If he's a good guy then why does he wants to take revenge and rule the world?
Lydia: You have said it, revenge. He got angry that the god of light woke his mother up from sleep and even defeated him. So he vowed to revenge his descendant instead, You!
Alysia: All makes sense. But how do we defeat Thanatos??
Lydia: And how did Nyx give birth without being impregnated? Like how is that possible?
Alysia: They are supernaturals, what do you expect? The question should be, how do we defeat Thanatos before he ends us
Prince Kelly: We will know with time
Alysia: What are you doing here?!
Lydia: Where were you listening to our conversation?!
Prince Kelly: Calm down! Don't be frightened. (Lydia rolls her eyes) I Know everything. (Alysia and Lydia looks on, bewildered)
Lydia: What do you mean you know everything?
Prinde Kelly: I am a prince, the second prince of my kingdom, how will I not know? A prince should be knowledgeable, so I know all the histories, mythologies and legends. I also know that they are not myths but real. I am intelligent, you Know.
Plus, I also heard your conversations. I wasn't evesdropping I promise, I just couldn't help but hear because I was on the other side behind that shelf (points to the shelf) reading and learning some advanced fighting techniques
Alysia: Well you know now. You should keep quiet and tell nobody.
Swear with your life
Prince Kelly: I swear with my life that I Will not tell anyone about anything
Now what else
Alysia: nothing's else. That's all
Prince Kelly: No, That shouldn't be all. I can help, I can fight skillfully, I am meant to always guide you as your right hand man. Plus I have fought with a witch before who wanted to kl my little sister, which they later succeeded in doing anyways.
Lydia: I guess, you can help.
Wouldn't hurt to have another in our team
Alysia: A witch tried to kill your sister? (Postinur appears revealing himself)
Prince Kelly: A ghost?! Stand back Alysia (stays at the front of the girls)
Postinur: Oops! I shouldn't have revealed myself and become visible!
Lydia: (To prince Kelly) Calm down. He's a friend of ours, a trusted friend
Prince Kelly: Hmm
Alysia: Yeap. And since you are part of the team now, you should be friends with him too
Postinur: Part of the team? What is happening here!!
