Chapter 21: A Crooked Priest

"Don't bother trying I have guards on the outside to make sure that you don't get out," Mayu turns her head and see Dabir. "Do you like your room I made sure I was fit to be a Goddess," he said. Mayu was shock and scared at the same. "Please don't be afraid I made sure that you will be comfortable here…" he said with a smile. "There is clay on that table I wish to speak with you," Mayu slowly went to the table she never took her eye off of Dabir. She had a feeling that he might try to do something to her if she wasn't careful. She sat across the table from him and started to write she gave him the paper.

"Where is my husband?" Dabir was kind of made to read that he didn't even look at her while he gave her a reply.

"He back at that dump you called a home but you don't have to worry this will be you home for now on," he said.

"My home is with my husband all along with my child this is not my home, so I will like to go back"

"I'm sorry that won't be possible," he said. "As a Goddess your job will be to serve God and no one else."

"I'm not a Goddess I just know the simples ways to help people," she wrote. "I didn't come from a springs like the Ishtar and I didn't come here by some magic. I was born just like everyone else and I just was born with some knowledge to help people that all," she wrote.

"Magic or not you are the Goddess of Rebirth and your place is here in this church so you will act as the will of god and help those from here," he got up and walk to the door and look back. "And don't worry about the child you carry I'll make sure to get rid of it," Mayu was shock and she didn't know what to do. Later that day a priestess came into the room and left a plate of food on the table. Mayu still sat at the table and wasn't able to more.

"Please you must eat," the priestess said. Mayu look at the food and felt gross. She thought.

"And don't worry about the child you carry I'll make sure to get rid of it," she just had Dabir voice replay that over and over again. She knocks the food on to the floor and just sat there with a complete blank look on her face.

"Goddess," the priestess picks up the food and leaves the room. That night the guards that were outside walked her all the ways until they get to a room of people and sat Mayu in a chair.

"I present you all the Goddess of Rebirth," a bunch of people started to whisper to on another.

"I thought that the Goddess wasn't with the church," one of them said.

"Wasn't she helping random people who come up to her house," another said.

"People if you please line up the Goddess will heal you one by one," Dabir said. A young man came up to Mayu. "Wait is wrong with you young man"

"My throat," he said.

"Isis," Dabir said but Mayu didn't touch the man she was looking at him but the man felt as if he was looking pass him. Mayu eyes had no life in them. "Isis" No matter what he said Mayu didn't more she didn't even care about that man who is ill. Even though it's a common cold she didn't care. "It's seems that the Goddess isn't feeling well herself, I will seen the Great Priest to take care of all of you problems," Dabir went and pulled her out of her seat. Mayu feel on the ground so that everyone could see. Dabir started to get angry at her then slowly helped her up. Then to her room when she got there he put his hands up like her was going to hit her then he stop. "Your plan is to make a fool out of me isn't it? Well think twice of what you do because it can cause harm to the person you love…. Being a Priest has its advances… like no one asks about your past and no one will question you if you asked them for a donation," he touches her face. "And I can be this close to a Goddess like you, is nothing more than me changing my luck," Dabir kiss Mayu lightly on her lips then when he got to the point of tongue kissing her, Mayu almost bite off his tongue. "You…." He hit her hoping that she would look shock but her expression didn't change the dead look in her made him angry. "You better corporate or that Zannanza of your will be put to sleep… permanently," He left the room and Mayu just stood in the middle of the room. Mayu open the door and no one was keeping watch she went and ended up at the end of the hallway when she open the door she saw a old man in a bed.

"Come here child I won't hurt you," he said as he held out a hand. "I am the Great Priest of this Temple."
