The cursed chapter 41
Killing Cynthia 2
Diana can be seen in her room staring into space actually skimming. A voice enters the room and speaks to her
Nemesis: Diana, Are you listening
Diana: Speak, Nemesis. I am listening attentively
Nemesis: Good. I have come to talk to you, I want to appear, let's meet in your secret shrine in your throne room. The one Hippolita used to worship you
Diana: Okay. (Leaves her room to the throne room, locks the door to the throne room and taps the secret pattern and the wall moves, then she enters into the shrine)
I am in, Are you here?
Nemesis: Yes, I am. (Appears)
Diana: What do I humble this visit for?
Nemesis: I came here to bargain with you, sister. I want to revenge but I can't do it on my own I need help, so I came to you
Diana:(excited) Count me in. Anything evil is my hubby!
Nemesis: I know you would agree, beauty goddess. (Diana smiles proudly) Although you borrowed beauty from the main beauty goddess, Aphrodite.
Diana: I am beautiful, I wonder why most women ask for beauty from her. She might be very beautiful but I am beautiful too
Nemesis: Her name is beauty goddess so she must be the most beautiful, she's even a goddess of love and fertility
Diana: She is good, I'm evil. So big difference! Let's not talk about that
Nemesis: (chuckles evily) Anyways, I came here to check on you and Cynthia. How is the mother and daughter relationship?
Diana: There is no mother and daughter relationship anymore. She withdrew. She has always been independent anyways. Gotten what she wanted, so I'm no longer useful to her. She only acts as a daughter in-law in the presence of humans and her husband too.
No more relationship between us.
Nemesis: Awww, that's too sad. How then will you take over most of the kingdoms here alone? How would you do that?
Diana: How did you know about me planning to acquire kingdoms and make them worship me forever?
Nemesis: Hahahahaha (Laughs evily) Everything about every god or goddess is known by every deity. It's normal.
Diana: So you know that Cynthia came here because she cast her mind on Duren And fell in love with him?
Nemesis: We know everything.
Diana: I have tried to make her just get into evil for some time. I have tried but she refused
Nemesis: She is of light, Diana. Light. She can't ever be evil
Diana: Then what about Thanatos? He was of light too
Nemesis: Diana, Thanatos was born by mother Nyx, he was born with us, evil. So he also has a little evil in him. He is just exercising it for now. Saddening enough, he will return to light as he is made to be light. Not us that are born and made evil forever.
Diana: Thought he would remain evil too (Nemesis shook her head in negativity)
We have talked away your proposition. What do you say you want me to do for you?
Nemesis: (Smiles) You sure are evil!
Well, it's just a simple task, I know you can easily handle it.
Diana: I don't like simple tasks, I like ways of real combat, real war.
Nemesis: I know, goddess of wildlife. You are of the wild so you love war and fights, I know. But I didn't mean simple alone, simple but really extreme
Diana: Tell me what it is already
Nemesis: Kill Cynthia and make her go into exile for centuries
Diana: What?!? How do you expect me to? She can easily defeat me.
Nemesis: Don't make me regret placing you in high value. You better kill her and earn more respect from the dark world.
I have given a message, I will take my leave. (Disappears)
Diana: How will I do this?? (Comes out of the shrine to the throne room) If I kill her and make her go into exile. Night will be total darkness, evil can dominate the night and I will be praised and respected in the dark world forever!
I must kill her. But how?
After brainstorming for hours. Duren comes in
Duren: Mother, I want to speak with you
Diana: I'm listening, my son
Duren: Please don't be annoyed, I always wanted to tell you but I couldn't. Now I have the courage to
Diana: Duren, You can talk to me, you know from your birth, I always listen to you. I will listen to you attentively
Duren: Well, mom, Cynthia is not ordinary, she is a goddess
Diana: Go--go--goddess?!? (Feigns ignorance)
Duren: Yes mom
Diana: What goddess is she? Or do you mean a mermaid?
Duren: No, mom. A goddess. She's in fact the goddess of the moon, Cynthia.
Diana: What? What have you done to me, Duren? A goddess? Do you want to put our lives in jeopardy?
Duren: Mother, she is nice, trust me. She won't hurt us
Diana: How sure are you? A goddess of generations? Duren?!?
Duren:(kneels) Mother, I swear on father's grave, she is good. She won't put us in danger, I promise.
Diana: Alright, since you say so. Stand up my child
Duren: (takes her hands and kisses it) Thank you mother, thank you so much.
Diana: You are welcome. But as a goddess, don't you think she would be hearing us as we speak of her?
Duren: She's asleep. She won't hear.
Diana: Alright
Duren: Mother, I have to go now. I want to visit the baron of our kingdom. We need to discuss about water transportation to other Kingdoms
Diana: Okay dear, understood. (Duren bows and leaves) Fool.
Mother, Cynthia is a goddess, blablabla. Nonsense!
I wonder what his reaction would be if he knew that I am not his mother, that I killed her and took the throne in her form. That I am a goddess, an evil one at that.
Hahahaha (Laughs evilly)
But, he did say something, something about Cynthia sleeping. That is useful to me, I can just kill her in her sleep!
Just perfect!
She is human now, I will summon a tiger to tear her skin and lick her bones. Just perfect! Hahahah
Diana goes to Cynthia's room quietly and stealthily. She meets a maid who is about to greet her and quickly shuns her down. The maid fearfully goes away and Diana opens the door to Cynthia's room and enters the room. She silently locks the door and tiptoes to Cynthia who is sleeping beautifully. She closes her eyes and points to the window more like pointing to the bush and a tiger appears. She opens her eyes and smiles evilly. She directs the tiger to Cynthia and the tiger goes to Cynthia, ready to pounce on her but falls down and dies instantly. Diana becomes shocked. Cynthia sits up
Cynthia: Seriously, Diana? If you want to kill me, use better means!
Diana: (Stammers) I….am..I…It was a mistake…...I mean….The tiger just appeared
Cynthia: Really? Then what are you doing here?
I felt your presence, you are evil, your aura is strong.
Diana: My Aura!
Cynthia: Yeap. I woke up as soon as I felt it. If it was a good aura, I would continue my sleep and have better dreams even.
Diana, I have told you before, I don't want anything evil. And you want to kill me because I refused?!?
Diana: Well, since you know now, let's have a battle. (Turns to a wolf)
Cynthia: I'm not in the mood to fight. (The wolf pounces on her and cuts her wrist with his teeth) Ahh! How dare you?
You need war, here it is. (Pushes her to the ground then opens her mouth directly to Diana and Diana freezes)
I am light and part of it. I make darkness disappear when it wants to overcome me!
