Help From Beyond The Grave.

Goddess In Disguise

Joren looked round him dazedly. He seemed to be in a place made of clouds. Weird. Then there was that woman looking at him. She looked like an Angel. God how far from the truth was he.

"Joren?" She asked, "Are you okay? It's just that your staring at me like I'm the first Goddess you've seen."

"Goddess?" Was all he managed to get out.

"Oh yeah." The Angel said, "Silly me I haven't introduced myself. I'm Angel the Goddess Of Life."

"How come I never heard of you?" Joren asked suspiciously.

She scowled, "I'm not that well known."

"You're telling me." Joren said. Her scowl deepened.

"Look do you want to hear my proposition or not?"

He shook his head, "I'll hear it."

"I can give you a life back." She said, but before he could answer she said, "In return all I ask is you help me."

"With what?" Joren asked all ears.

"I want to destroy Tortall. Or at least some of it." Angel added when she saw Joren's expression.

"Why would I want to destroy my home?" He asked angrily.

"Joren wake up and smell the crowds you've been dead for two years, two years. That place is no longer your home. But I can give you your life back. All you need to do is help me."

He shook his head, "Joren I just want to destroy the palace. No-one will get hurt, it's just a demonstration, I won't kill anyone if you don't want me to."

Joren looked like an idea had hit him, "What if I wanted certain people dead?"

Angel arched one white eyebrow, "Let me guess, Keladry Of Mindelan?"

Joren nodded, "No I will not kill her!! She's worked hard to become a knight and that chamber which killed you wasn't easy on her."

Joren looked dumbfounded, "She passed?"

Angel nodded, "Not a sound. It wasn't easy for her though."

"What about my friends?"

"Ones dead. He jumped the chamber hurt him too much. The other alive and well." Angel replied looking at Joren carefully.

He sighed, "What's the mission then? I don't see how I can help though."

Angel grinned delighted, "I need you to teach me how to be mortal. I also need you to do something for me though."

"What?" He asked suspiciously.

"I need you to make friends with Kel."

"Uh-uh no way am I making friends with her." Joren empathised the word her.

"Oh, okay if you don't want to be a God that's fine, I'll find someone else."

"God? I can be a God? Well that's final then when do we leave?"

Angel smiled, "Tonight."

"What relation will we be? I mean are you my sister, or what?"

"Umm no we are actually married. I'm from the convent and you're a sorcerer."

"Okay number one do I have to be married to you? Number two I don't have the gift!"

"Okay, yes you have to be married to me. Don't worry I'm not demanding. I don't know if you were listening but I'm a Goddess and I'll give you the gift. It'll be ice blue. Like your eyes."

"But I don't I know hoe to use it. I blast myself from here to next week." Joren said sounding, wimpy.

"Don't worry when I give you the gift, I'll give you a bunch of spells and stuff to go with it. You'll be a great Master."

"I've past my Masters test?"

"Oh yes. You'll be from the fief Recwar and so will I."

She grinned at him; Joren couldn't help thinking that she looked a lot like a wolf moving into kill. "I'll be a Goddess in disguise."
