Dll's p.o.v.
As we walked back to city hall the sun was half way in the sky. Gods and demons were walking around to different locations. One of many rules is that no one can be outside when the moon is up. Something about, how bad things are lurking in the night and some other stuff.
"D, please kill me now. I don't want to tell them anything." X pleaded to me for the hundredth time. Literally.
"X, I'm sorry but this is all 100% true. And if I kill you then I'll be the one hunted down for that." he crossed his arms over his chest
"That rule doesn't apply to me." I rolled my eyes
"That doesn't mean that committing suicide is a good thing. Plus, you go insane." he sighed
"And I wish to get rid of that."
"We all do." We entered the hall and walked up to the doors that the council was waiting behind. Once it opened we walked in and came up to them.
"Exetior, Dollter, What do you have to report?" the vampire asked
"Well, you see, um... the problem is bigger then it was anticipated." X said 'I can't go on.'
'No kidding.' "The problem is Frank. He's created another army." the members all looked at each other and I looked at X, who lowered his head.
"Is there anything else you might add?" the ghost asked and I sighed
"Yes, the whole planet is filled with taints. Everywhere you looked, that's all you could see." A blood tear fell from X's eyes and they began to talk again. I didn't pay any attention to them as I put my arm around his shoulders. X looked at me, then back at the ground.
"Well, this certainly is bad news." the witch said "But I'm afraid that if this continues, then Athens and the other home planets will be in danger, due to Frank's wrath. Another war will start and I have a feeling that it will be bigger than the first."
"Exetior? Is something wrong?" the werewolf asked. I looked at them, then at X as he lowered his ears and turned his head away. I sighed then looked back at them.
"X's mortal friends were also there, but, they belong to Frank now." I could feel him shudder under my arm as they looked at each other, then back at X.
"Exetior, you should know the consequences to having mortal friends. Everyone knows the rule that if you have mortal friends then you should be prepared to either kill them at any cost or watch them die. They don't live forever or longer then we would like, so we don't bother to make friends with them, just in case that has to happen." the demon said
"I... know." X said as he took a shuddering breath and moved my arm off his shoulders.
"Then why would you make friends with them?"
"I-I thought that I could have a s-second family. One that makes me feel n-normal." X whispered
"Nobody is normal, even more so of a being that is insane." X looked up with hurt in his eyes then ran out of the room.
"X!" I called but he didn't stop. I turned back to the demon and growled at him. "Great, now you hurt his feelings."
"I'm not sorry, he has to learn the consequences." I flew up to him and grabbed his neck.
"That's my brother your talking about and you better be sorry cause no one talks about him like that. Me and him are the outcasts around here and having mortal friends is what made him feel special. Looking in their eyes before all this, I saw that they were like a second family to him. Even I felt normal around them. So, I ask you one more time, do you feel sorry?" he nodded and I let go but still floated in front of him. As he took in a gulp of air, I looked at everyone else and they looked away from me. "They don't call me 'god of death' for nothing." I floated back down and started to walk away. "Good day."
"Dollter?" I turned around and the god was walking up to me "You would do anything for your brother, would you?" I nodded and she put her hand on my shoulder. "That was brave, but also stupid. And that is the type of attitude we need for this war. Try not to get killed." I shrug her hand off and walked away
"I don't need to worry cause I'm not going to play your silly game of war. *turns to them* I'm going to stop it." I continued to walk away and came out outside were I saw X sobbing into his lap. "X?" he looked up at me with tears free-falling from his eyes and I sat down beside him, pulling him into an embrace. "Shh, shh, it's alright. I'm here."
"D?"
"Hmm?"
"What are we going to do now? I can't hurt them, I'll die if that happens." I looked at him and I could see the hurt in his eyes. I nuzzled his neck and he chuckled.
"Just be happy X, we'll figure out how to stop this." he smiled and put his head on my shoulder. We just there, until his shuddering turned into sleeping. I picked him up bridal style and walked back to the house.
