Prologue. The Goddess of Revenge

For the first time in twelve year Nemesis, Goddess of Retribution and Revenge, felt a deep pang in her chest that signaled that one of her children had been gravely injured. Nemesis saw clearly a bridge where two boys were surrounded by mirrors of ice. As she used her powers to focus on the scene she saw another boy was in the mirrors wearing a mask to hide his face. Nemesis focused back on the boys inside the mirror-ice prison. The one in orange had sun gold hair and clear blue eyes in his arms was a pale dark haired, dark eyed boy. Nemesis recognized him instantly and felt her heart leap into her throat at the sight. Her boy, her little Sasuke.

Zeus had sealed off the Elemental Lands over a decade ago, but Nemesis had still heard of the Uchiha Massacre from one of her rare mortal friends, a traveling author who traveled between the Elemental Lands and the rest of the world. She hadn't been able to sense Sasuke since the Elemental Lands were sealed when she'd heard all the Uchihas bee killed she'd assumed that meant her child too. But her he was dying. Nemesis listened and realized her boy had taken the attack meant for this boy, this Naruto.

Nemesis watched horrified as her son seemed to lose all life in him. As she watched Naruto fight the masked boy she realized he wasn't quite human. She recognized him as a Jinchuriki of course, but there was something else. This boy was a demigod. Nemesis growled furious when Naruto stopped once this Haku's face was revealed. Her blood and being roared for retribution both as a mother and goddess. She settled though when Haku died protecting his master. Reluctantly Nemesis turned her eyes back to her son and at the girl sobbing over him. Then she realized something. His chest was moving at a pace so miniscule that no mortal would notice it.

Relieved Nemesis watched the rest of the conflict trying to figure out what had caused the barrier around the lands begin to crack. The goddess frowned feeling a bit of unease. Something was going on. Something that did not bode well. When it started snowing Nemesis turned her head away and stood. If the barrier had cracked enough for her to feel her son again, a deep steady bounding in her chest, it would be cracked enough for her to go to the elemental Lands herself. She would investigate what was going on herself and visit one of the very few children she had while she was at it.
