" What did you say? He went in alone and all of you stupid fucks stayed behind?" An angry voice reverberated through a radio communicator.
" Sir, It was Major Luke's orders." Another soldier replied.
" Shit! You dumbass!"
The soldier flinched in fear when he heard his superior's angry voice.
" So, tell me what is the situation now?"
" After Major Luke entered the tower, there was no notable incident happened for a few minutes until a dark purple energy beam surrounded the whole tower. And there was a huge symbol in the sky, just above the tower."
" So what did that symbol look like?"
" It had an eye, and a crescent moon with decorations. Sir, it was as the same which is engraved on the door. I felt nauseous just looking at it, sir! It was so fucking creepy."
" Watch your language, you asshole!"
" Ehmm, sorry sir. It's just.."
" Fine, fine now give my orders. Retreat immediately. Grab the all shit you put there and come back here!"
" But Sir Luke-"
" Well, he may be already dead. There's no way he can get away from that. Sigh, It's as we expected.."
" Sir, why are you saying that. Major Luke is not a person who would go down-"
" I know. But getting away from the Lady of the Night, that's just impossible!" The higher official cut him short.
" Now, I want all of your asses right back here, got it?"
After hearing ' The Lady of the Night', the soldier became pale. He couldn't even hear the noise of his superior cursing nonstop.
' Oh Major Luke! May your sole rest in peace.'
He cut of the radio connection and the whole world became silent.
And on the other end; " Do you hear me, you son of a bitch?"
" Shit! What's up with that fucker!" He bellowed in rage.

The Oath of Balance, pierced Luke's heart ruthlessly. He could feel blood splashing out from his chest like a water fountain, which painted the naked Nyx in red.
But, she didn't even blinked an eye in response to that. She just looked at me, with her dark pupils glistening with strange dark purple power. Yeah, she was the Evil. She was the demoness.
But, Luke didn't have enough strength to think more. With an unbearable throbbing pain at his heart, he felt his life was sliding away from his body, as his vision becoming blurred and finally he blacked out.
This kept for a few minutes, until a virtual space appear in front of him.
" Welcome to the world between life and death. All the wandering souls who are about to enter life, death or even immortality, come here, to see if they are worthy for that."
Luke looked around to see where the voice was coming from. But he couldn't find the source of it.
" ID Number:- I4987501A4D
Name:- Luke Whitestone
Profession:- Army Soldier( Rank: Major)
Cause of death:- Got stabbed by the Holy dragger of judgement and balance, ' The Oath of Balance'
Do you want initiate your trial? Y/N"
' World between life and death? Initiate my trial? What the heck is this?'
Luke was confused.
" Before I answer to your question can I ask you a question?"
" User is allowed to ask one question"
" Who are you and what am I doing here?"
" I am the speaker of the balance of the universe. I am the one who keeps everything in check and balanced. And as for your second question, I apologize it can't be answered because your quota has expired."
" Bullshit! Answer me!" Luke roared at the huge space aimlessly with bulged veins on his head.
He had spend a total of fifteen minutes to calm down himself, and to assess the situation he was right now. He didn't know what would happen if he said yes or what would happen if he said no.
" Fine, let's go with yes."
" Command accepted."
With this the entire area began to change in appearance. This changing process lasted up to few seconds until the scene changed in to a vast sea.
Yeah, he was in the middle of a vast sea, which was filled with bright blue coloured water. It was calm, with only the sound of wind and water churning around him. Even though he was in water, he didn't drown. He just floated in the water.
He looked up and saw a gigantic scale in front of him.
" The judgement starts."
Suddenly the previously calm and quiet world became stormy and unsettled. The bright sky with no clouds became heavily clouded with darkness, several tornados appeared in the vicinity and the water became turbulent making waves which were almost big enough to enclose the whole world.
Along with all these changes, the scale moved violently. These things that was happening to him was completely unheard of. As he could do nothing against these powers, he just waited and looked at the scale with an awful look. He had no idea what was going to happen. He waited and waited and waited.
After seemingly an eternity, the scales movements became slower and slowly it gained its original balanced state. The world once again became quiet and peaceful as if nothing had happened before.
" You have been judged."
And with that he was back again in the tower.
" Impressive. Impressive indeed. You never seize to surprise me!" Nyx laughed seductively.
She was back again in her clothes and the former maturity and elegance of an ancient primordial goddess was also back with her.
" What happened to me?" He asked while getting up. He was feeling dizzy and nauseous as if he had worked thousands of years nonstop in a never ceasing hot sun light.
" Well, long answer short, you have become a god, just like me."
" Me, a god?"
" Mhm, yes, technically. You have become immortal, with immense power and most importantly you became my husband. I haven't married him, even, but seems like now I have really married to you."
" A GOD? You say?"
Luke stood still with an astounded look on his face.
" Well, I hate that look!" Nyx sighed.
" Can you hear me? I'm going to brief you about what's going and what's about to happen because I have no much time, okay?"
Luke, slowly turned his head towards her and asked stupidly, " Am I really a god?"
" Listen, I have to thank you for freeing me from my prison after a long time and yes I have to apologize to you because, I had to use you as a tool for my freedom."
" Whoa, wait. Why were you locked? And who locked you?"
" It's Zeus and my ex-husband. They got scared of my power and prevented me from choosing a warrior. Of course, I had no idea if selecting one either. But now, I had to."
" I still can't get it! So, how did I help you to free yourself."
" Well, when they gang up on me to lock me up in my own place, I used my resort to build this tower to select a possible husband candidate. As only my man could get me out from here. Well, my powers are somewhat weird I know. But the point is after so many ears only you came here, so I had no choice but to give it a go. I know I'm selfish and wrong. But I was desperate. It is okay if you want to leave and I compensated it by giving you a chance to become a god. Can you for- forgive me?"
Nyx's voice trailed off at the end of her speech.
A moment of uneasy silence prevailed. Nyx felt as if it was an eternity. She had been the most powerful goddess of the whole universe, yet she had not faced a situation like this ever before. She didn't dare to look at his eyes as she didn't have enough courage.
Seeing her all these actions, Luke felt as if his belly became full of fluttering butterflies. He thought she was very cute. Her way of accepting her wrongdoings and telling the truth to her partner; they were enough to turn him on.
He abruptly took few large steps near her and said, " Look at me, Nyx."
Nyx slowly, lifted her head to face him but her eyes never met his.
" Look at my eyes, Nyx"
This time she knew there was no chance of running away. She slowly stared at his beautiful blue eyes.
" You know what? I'm damn in love with you. Let's go for another round, shall we?"
Nyx gazed at him, shocked as if he was the dumbest thing she had ever seen.
Without giving her time to react, he jumped forward and hugged her tight while kissing her cheeks.
" It's okay as long as you be truthful to me. I'm afraid of getting betrayed. That's why I always backed away from relationships. Now, please don't betray me ever again, will ya?"
Author's note:- I know, you are enjoying this. Having a relationship with a goddess, isn't that awesome. I'm sure your friends also do like it, yeah?
Don't forget to introduce me to them, okay?
