Zyglavis finds Grace in a terrible state and even though he doesn't agree with what she has done, he knows that she must have a good explanation but before he can get one, Grace passes out in his arms. He carries her gently to his room and places his coat over her to keep her warm, leaving her to rest for a while so he can check on the other Gods.

Grace awakens to a scent that smelled so fresh that she is sure it is Zyglavis. She looks around and finds him reading a book in the warm glow of morning sun, his blue hair tied in his signature ponytail and his slender, grey eyes focused on the words before them. Grace smiles gently, remembering how they would fight all the time about the stupidest things, it always brought amusement to Leon when the hallways were filled with their angry voices. When Grace first moved in, Zyglavis would comment on everything she did; from the clothes she wore, which he felt were inappropriate for a woman around a group of men, to the way she cleaned. It got to the point where Grace would purposely wear her hair the same as him and dress in the same clean-cut manner, that's when the arguing started.

"You're awake." Zyglavis closes his book and walks over to sit on the edge of his bed, his own gentle smile warming her heart. After months together, they started to get along; Grace still can't figure out when it happened but it was some time after the Gods lost most of their powers and Grace took care of them all, Zyglavis would help her with everything he could. He still does when he can muster the energy.

"Yeah, I guess you must be pretty disappointed in me." Grace casts her eyes down at the coat covering her small frame. It must be pretty obvious what she's up to by now so she waits for Zyglavis to hit her with a lecture but it never comes. A troubled expression is on Zyglavis' face as he regards her, lifting her chin up so she meets his gaze.

"What are you doing, Grace?" His voice is gentle and his eyes full of worry for her and the other Gods.

"What I have to to save everyone." She whispers. "I know it's wrong, it's forbidden and I will be severely punished when this is all over but..." She falters as she tries to explain. Zyglavis is a man who represents justice, can he really understand without judgement? "I love you, Zyglavis. I love every single zodiac God and as wrong as it is, I'm not ashamed. I have been able to get in contact with the Goddess of Fate, she's been helping me understand my destiny and this is the only way. I really do hope you can trust me." His eyes waver when she tells him that she loves him.

"So you feel the need to show your love physically?" Zyglavis' voice is a little harsher than he intended but Grace knows it's because he's struggling with his own feelings.

"It's the only way to save you, Zyglavis. Please, you know what happens when a God lays with a Goddess." He nods to her statement, suddenly he realises what she is saying.

"You..." His eyes wide with shock. "You are sacrificing yourself, you know what will happen at the end." He cups her cheeks, his intense stare causes her to avert her own eyes. Grace nods.

"I will die." Tears begin to fall down her cheeks and Zyglavis wipes them away with his thumbs.

"We will save you." The coat falls from around her body as she throws her arms around Zyglavis neck, breathing in his scent. His hands hold her tight as her naked body presses against him, their warmth enveloping one another. Pulling away from him, she settles on his lap, straddling him and kisses him. His hands touch her waist, hesitating slightly but it's not long until he holds her against him. His fingers graze up her body until they reach the nape of her neck, her body shivers in delight as he strokes the sensitive spot there.

"Hehe, that tickles." She giggles softly against his lips. Even with impending death knocking on her door, Grace feels completely relaxed in this moment. Grace nimbly unbuttons his shirt and pushes it off his shoulders, running her hands over the biceps hidden underneath. "Who knew you were so toned, Chief Minister?" Grace runs her hands all over his exposed skin.

"Mmm..." Zyglavis enjoys the gentle feel and he buries his face into her neck, brushing her hair to the side to give him more access. He lies her down on the bed, hovering above her, a seductive smile on his face. "That look in your eyes is full of sin, maybe I should punish you." She bites her bottom lip and nods. Zyglavis rests on his knees as he unbuckles his belt and allows his firm cock to spring out from his pants, Grace's eyes widen like saucers as she feels it against her thigh when he comes back down to kiss her. Their lips part and Zyglavis gently caresses her tongue with his own, one of his hands making it's way between them to cup her sex.

"Ah..." Grace bucks her hips as he slips two fingers inside her wet pussy, sending waves of pleasure through her, her hands tangle themselves in Zyglavis' hair. His lips claim hers again in a deeper, passionate kiss that takes her breath away while he moves his fingers in and out of her.

"Grace..." He whispers her name as he pulls his fingers out. "Are you ready?" She gazes deep into his eyes, showing him that she is and Zyglavis rubs the tip of his cock between her folds, getting himself ready to enter herself.

"Mmm...Ah..." Grace's fingers tighten in his hair as she holds herself back, biting her lip. Zyglavis pushes himself deep inside her and Grace can't hold back her cries as a bittersweet feeling rolls through her as he hits the back of her cervix.

"You really like to make a lot of noise." Zyglavis chuckles as he continues the sweet assault on Grace's body, sweeping her hair to the side to kiss the furrow in her brow. She tugs gently on his hair as her body reacts to him, their breathing becomes ragged as they move together, Grace's body twitching slightly every time he goes deep.

"Please..." Grace moans, her body slick with sweat. She came shortly after they began but Zyglavis isn't going easy on her, she can feel another orgasm welling up inside her.

"Grace..." Zyglavis quickens as he gets closer to his own orgasm, his hair completely lose from it's tidy ponytail from Grace's constant tugging. He buries his head into her neck as he groans, releasing his seed inside her. Grace's orgasm causes her to shudder again around him, her walls milking him as they spasm around him. He rolls off her, pulling him into his arms as he places a kiss on her forehead. "I will find a way to save you."

"But you can't interfere..." His grey eyes close as he gives her a rare, loving smile.

"We've already sinned. We fell in love with a human, we're all going to be punished anyway." Grace's heart breaks a little at his confession of love. Zyglavis follows the rules more than anyone; his square, up-tight attitude was what caused them to fight so much but right now, he would break all the laws in the heavens to save her. His breathing becomes more relaxed as he joins the other Gods in a deep slumber, Grace covers herself with his coat, wrapping his scent around her for a little while longer.


After cleaning herself, Grace walks around the quiet mansion, wearing Zyglavis' coat. She decides to go and see Karno, his warm smile always lifted her spirits and with five Gods to go before she faces her own death, her spirits need lifting. Her body is already starts to feel weaker as she walks towards Karno's room and before she reaches it, her knees give out from under her.

"Your body is withering." Grace snorts, she already knows this. "You may want to rest, you may want to fall asleep and stay that way forever but you have to keep going. Grace, you're their only hope." Through pure will, Grace pushes herself off the floor and walks slowly to the God of Cancer's bedroom.
