Chapter 22 - A war to wage

*Morsi's mansion*

"Aaaaaaaaah" Nut screamed. She rushed an attack towards Aposis who was no longer in his disguise as Morsi "you! Why did you stop me? why did you hold me back? Why did you stop me from destroying that whole building? Aaaaaaaaah! " she screamed again out of frustration, as she fired a power blast towards Aposis.

He doged it swiftly then teleported in light speed beside her and gave her a hard slap, which didn't seemed to call Nut to order.

"What?! You slapped me?! " she screamed in rage. "You are going to pay for this", she yelled in pain. Immediately, she charge herself in full energy as she let her god form take over her being. Without hesitation, she started conjuring the elements of heaven as they were already upset, feeling her pain.

Aposis still didn't say a word, he just stood by the side and did his own trick. He muttered some ancient chants to himself, as his demonic aura increased. He kept saying the chants, till its purpose began to manifest.

Nut's glow was being over shadowed by intense darkness. Aposis was using the chants to subdue her aura.

In a matter of seconds, she started feeling the effect. It jolted her from her mind loss, she came back to her mortal form and fell on the floor, feeling more pain she had felt before. She started rolling on the floor, crying her eyes out and screaming for Aposis to stop.

"Am sorry l beg you, please stop" she cried on as she felt her body being torn into shreds. "Aaaaaaah!! " she kept screaming as he still didn't say a word.

Aposis just sat on a sofa in the room, feeling relaxed. He looked unbothered like she wasn't there at all, As he just stared at the ceiling like they were exceptional georgous that afternoon.

"Please demon lord Aposis! I beg please demon lord stop this please!!! " Nut kept screaming as she looked up at Aposis who was still staring at the ceiling.

"Demon lord!!! Please!! " she shouted again and this time, finally getting his attention.

Aposis look at her and sent her a death stare. He stood up from the chair and walked towards where she lay, wallowing in pain. He squated to her, still giving her the death stare before he started talking.

"You Nut, Egyptian goddess of sky are the most senseless being l have ever met. Even the mortals have a better level of awareness, more than you do. What do you want me to do now, stop the spell? So that your punishment can end? I am sorry my dear but that won't be possible ". He ended with a face of disgust like her sight irritated his being. He stood up from where she lay and took few paces backwards, away from her.

"Please demon lord, l have learnt my lesson please make it stop" Nut cried in a pleading voice.

"Wow Nut you learnt your lesson? " Aposis asked her with an evil smirk as she just nodded to the question. "And if l may ask Nut, what lesson did you learn? " his smirk now turned into a serious face.

Nut fell into thoughts, she needed to figure out an answer. She searched her mind but didn't find anything sensible to say, so she kept quite.

"I said what lesson did you learn? " Aposis asked again with authority, but received no reply from Nut.

"See you learnt nothing, how then do you expect me to realse you! " he thundered as he turned to leave, but stopped on the sound of Nuts voice.

"Please demon Aposis, l beg you it won't happen again, l won't loose control of my mind anymore, please make it stop, it hurts so much" she kept pleading

Aposis turned to her, and sat on the sofa again. "Nut, let me ask you something " he breathed before continuing, as Nut who didn't have the audacity to to say 'no' just looked at him with pleading eyes, hoping he would show mercy.

"Can you remember how you and Geb were caught by the air god your father?". Nut just nodded.

"Good. And what rat you both out to him and the whole Egypt, l mean what made him know where you both were? " he asked again. Nut had a quick flash black and remembered immediately 'my will'

"My will, the use of my will out of anger did " she said with relief that this time, she had an answer.

"Good" Aposis breathed. " Nut you are a very powerful goddess and your will is even more powerful. It deals with the elements of nature which means you have right over nature herself and am sure she doesn't like that fact". He stood up from the sofa and crouched to her level again.

She looked lost and dumbfounded. Not really getting a word he was saying. What did he mean by nature doesn't like that fact? She asked herself. She knew her will had an effect on nature and she could manipulate it to some extent, but so did other gods and goddesses of Egypt so why was hers out of line!

"You are the granddaughter of sun god Ra. You are the first female from his loins, and he himself fears your will. What did you think was his reason for assigning such a greivious punishment to you, or did feel like you deserved it? " he asked her again, but she was too lost in her own thoughts that she couldn't answer.

Aposis ignored her confused state and continued. "That your location is always been found out whenever you use your will is natures way of telling how much she scorns you. Nature is supposed to be a mother to all, and rating people out is not what a mother does. She deceived you, when you discover your will had such 'grace ' as you may say, you felt happy and proud thinking that it would make the mortals respect and acknowledge you the most, among all the gods and goddesses of Egypt. But little did your senseless self know that it was all to your doom! " he rested all his aura on the last word. He stood before speaking again "have you ever thought or maybe found out the reason why you always loose control when you have issues with the other dieties and need to hide, but at the end, you rat yourself out by using your will at a very senseless provocation. You my dear have always been under the shackles of nature and her bonds never wish to stop manipulating you, even with all your will as a goddess. She only tempts you whenever she knows it will cause your downfall because she desires nothing but for Ra's first female to be destroyed and that unfortunately is you". He said pointing a finger at her.

Nut was now more confused and shock than ever. Did nature really do this to her or was Aposis trying to manipulate her thoughts with lies. But then, there was atleast some truth in what he was saying. Not even some, all of it were true but why did nature do this to her and why did she not realize on time. How could nature do this to her? And why did she want to bring down Ra's first female? What could have been Ra's crime against nature herself.

Nature may not utterly be a god, but she was a being that was acknowledged in the whole globe and not just Egypt. She was believed to be the one responsible for the formation of the globe and installment of gods, who ruled with wills that were gifted by her.

However, the situation of a god being held by nature was almost unrevokable and if that was her fate then she was really doomed. Fear griped her immediately she started crying again.

"You should learn to act by your will and not let your will take over you, because that is the only way she gets to manipulate you. Am sure you don't realize or maybe you forgot that the other gods back in your time could realize where you are if you rained hail or caused a thunder storm, whichever you planning on doing. And who know what they would do to your uf if they found you, well of my opinion l believe that they would have destroyed your soul or was of all turned you into a worthless mortal". He ended with a smirk on his face.

Now Nut really understood what he meant. She really needs to get a hold of herself, and stop nature from manipulating her so it won't lead to her doom. Still in pain, she raised her head up to him and spoke with her god tone" oh demon lord Aposis, thou hast indeed favored me this day by thy words of revelation and wisdom. For thou hast done this, l Nut Egyptian goddess of sky pledge to you this that never even shalt l be lost in my will but my will shalt be lost in me as l shalt take total control over all my being. In order to overcome mother nature as it pleaseth thee". With a voice full of pain, she hoped that Aposis would call off the pain.

"Good, be it so as you have said goddess " he said, finally calling off the spell. She sighed in relief and thanked him profusely.

"Don't thank me yet goddess we still have a war to wage"...
