Revenge, Pain and Regret
Chapter 15: Nutria Fails
Nutria now walked through a place that had water up to her ankles and a lot of grass and tiny underwater animals. The grass was even lower than the water but the problem was that each blade was razor sharp and kept cutting at Nutria's feet. Nutria tried to use her powers but they wouldn't work. So she had to continue walking, cutting her feet along the way and watching how some parts of the water started to turn red. She had known that the way would've been challenging, but she never expected this.
"Damn it," Nutria muttered as she forced herself to walk even faster, "maybe I'm better off not going down Circe's path," she said, "I might've gotten stuck with fighting a whole bunch of wild animals with a shield and a pocket knife as my only defence and without any powers."
Four hours later Nutria was walking through a brook filled with pebbles. Her feet were aching her uncontrollably but she kept on moving. Just then she saw what she was looking for, the golden path to Pillar Micus.
Nutria shouted for joy and ran towards it despite the pain in her bleeding feet.
(One Day Later)
Hatria and the others entered Pillar Micus. But they stopped when they saw Nutria bowing before a huge beam of light.
"You can't do this!" Nutria screamed and jumped to her feet, "you can't revoke our contract!" she shouted.
"Revoke our contract?" Deirdre asked in confusion and Nutria turned to see her.
"Fira of light has told me that because I used the contract to try and get back at mother that it's now revoked," Nutria told her, "we can't get our revenge on Grim," she added.
"Are you kidding me!" Deirdre exploded as Grim started to jump with glee, "we can't get our revenge!"
"Why is it revoked for all of us?" Hatria asked formally as she looked at the ball of light which was really a goddess who hid her true form from everyone except the Ultimate God, her children and her husband, "it was Nutria who did the wrong deed, not us," she told Fira.
"There's another reason," Fira responded, "Grim has shown remorse on a level that makes the Ultimate God believes that he would've dated Dementia to keep all three of you from harm," she explained, "in the past he didn't believe that and helped to allow the contract to be passed."
"Can we go now?" Billy whined.
"Might as well," Hatria muttered, "the contract can't be redone anyway," she added.
"I really am so…" Grim started to say.
"I don't want to hear it!" Hatria shouted, "everyone is sorry after they see the repercussions of something they caused," she said angrily, "barely anyone is sorry before," she added bitterly.
"This is not over," Deirdre said stubbornly, "I'll find a way to truly get that bag of bones back."
"Well you can count me out!" Nutria cried, "I'm going to go and live with Father," she said and stormed out.
"What are you guys going to do?" Mandy started to ask but just then Hatria and Deirdre disappeared right before their eyes, "where did they go?"
"I don't know," Junior responded, "but it's obvious that powers work here and we should be getting back home," he added.
"Yeah I'm hungry!" Sperg shouted.
"And I want to watch TV," Irwin chimed in.
"Boneheads," Mandy muttered as Grim made a portal and they all stepped into it.
Done.
