Let the fun begin...

Jzet could only stare at what was before her. It wasn't like every day, she saw a god.

"Are you going to stand there like a block of wood, or are you going to answer me?" the god snapped impatiently. "Because, I've got a lot more things to do before this day ends."

"I'm sorry, your divineship," Jzet apologized. Divineship? Divineship? Is that even a word? Jzet thought. "I just, never saw a god before. And to tell you the truth, it's kind of a shock."

The god sighed and mumbled something that sounded like 'mortals'.

"Well guess what? I am a god, and yes, I am really talking to you right now." he said impatiently. "So stop being all surprised and listen to what I got to say, because you're going to be really thankful that you heard it."

"Wait before you go into detail, could you at least tell me who you are and why in Mithros' name are you talking to me?" Jzet demanded her green eyes sharp, staring the god down.

The god straightened out his golden tunic he wore and cleared his throat. His equallysharp, blue eyes were resting on her.

"Well first of all, my name is Ganiel, the god of dreams." said the god. Oh the irony, Jzet thought, how could I not guess he was the god of dreams? He continued. "And I am here to tell you about that prophesy."

Jzet's throat went dry. She hated that stupid prophesy. All it did was harm her.

"How do you know about that damn prophesy?" Jzet growled.

Ganiel flinched.

"Well uh," he began. "I made it."

"What?" she shouted angrily.

"I made it." Ganiel repeated. "I created that prophesy."

Jzet boiled in rage. This idiot, is the reason why I almost died. She thought furiously. Why must gods always meddle with human affairs? She asked herself.

"You're the reason, that I almost died!" Jzet shouted. "And plus, you almost killed the heir of Tortall too!" She added, remembering Jonathan, whowas gift drained from saving her.

"Well, I am sorry about that." said Ganiel sincerely. Jzet just glared at him. He said it so easily, but did not realize the fear and pain, she and her friends went through. "But, you don't really have to worry about Zulch hurting you, outside your dreams anymore. I have that covered."

Jzet looked in disbelief at the god. To Jzet, Zulch was unstoppable when it came to magic.

"How are you going to do that?" she asked.

"Give me that necklace and I'll show you." Ganiel ordered, pointing to the silver chain with a small cream colored stone attached to it, on her neck. Jzet almost forgot about the necklace and carefully unclipped it, slipping it off her neck. She held it in her palm for a second and felt it vibrate.

"Hand it to me, mortal." the god instructed.

Jzet put the necklace in his palm, gently, she did not want to drop it.

"Now, grab my other hand and I shall make this necklace perform the task that it is meant to do." said Ganiel sternly. Jzet looked at the god with uncertainty. She never touched a god before. Would it hurt? Could her mortal body handle it? Her mind swam in questions. "C'mon mortal I don't bite." Ganiel said his blue eyes dancing with humor. "You seem more scared to grab my hand, then to face Zulch."

Jzet glared at the god and then cautiously put her hand in his. Jzet almost cried out in pain, but her Yamani training held her screams in her throat. Her skin felt like it was on fire and her bones began to ache. Her ears roared and her body shook widely. Beads of sweat began to role down her face, when Ganiel started speaking in a language, which she didn't understand.

Suddenly, his skin shone so bright that Jzet was almost blinded by it. The pain became worse. She never had felt pain like this, in her entire life.

Finally, her Yamani mask faltered and the screams in her throat that had been held there, were unleashed.

The god still continued speaking, ignoring her screams of anguish and pain. The air began to hum and Jzet felt she was losing consciousness.

As quickly as the pain began, it stopped. Ganiel had let go of her hand and let her body drop to the ground in exhaustion. Jzet was still conscious, but did not open her eyes. She could feel the air begin to grow colder and a small wind tug at her tunic.

"Jzet of Queenscove get up." Ganiel ordered. "We have much to discuss and not that much time to dilly dawdle."

Jzet moaned, as she tried to get up, her bones and joints still weak from the pain she had just gone through only moments before. Couldn't he see she was just literally tortured? Jzet thought angrily. Everything to him is not wasting time.

She finally was up and faced the god.

"You said it wouldn't hurt." Jzet growled.

"I know, I know," Ganiel said waving it off. "So I lied. You wouldn't have grabbed my hand, if I told you that you would experience unimaginable pain. Would you still have grabbed my hand then, Jzet of Queenscove?"

Jzet gave no response, still seething about him lying to her.

"Would you have?" he repeated this time more forcefully.

Jzet shook her head, knowing she would have rather have jumped off Balor's Needle, than go through that again.

"That's what I thought." said Ganiel. He held out the necklace to her. "I believe this is yours."

Jzet just nodded, taking the necklace from the god. She expected a sting, but received none. So, she put the necklace back on and let it rest on her chest.

"So, what did you do to it?" Jzet asked, curiously.

"I ordered it to protect you against Zulch, and anyone he orders to kill you with their gift." said Ganiel pompously. "So now, Zulch can't kill you with magic and plus, now,he cannot see you, when you are dreaming."

Jzet sighed in relief, another burden, now off her shoulders. She looked at Ganiel with great disgust, now she had to thank him, despite that lie about 'I don't bite'. Oh he bites alright. Jzet thought. And it's too painful to go through again.

He expected a thank you too, because he said, "Well, mortal?"

Jzet sighed.

"Thank you, Ganiel," she said, defeated.

"That's my girl," he said grinning. "I knew you would forgive ol' Ganiel, when you found out that Zulch can't kill you with magic."

"Yeah, I guess so," said Jzet. That's no way to talk to a god. She thought. He can like fry you, or something. "It will help a lot." She added smiling.

"So about the prophesy…" Ganiel said.

"Yes?"

"Well I made the prophesy because my other brother's and sister's, are arguing, about who let the Fitrakis' out, of the divine realms and plus, they weren't doing anything to protect you mortals, against them." said Ganiel. "So, I stepped up and made a prophesy, that you would kill Zulch, unless he kills you first of course." Jzet glared at Ganiel with displeasure. She couldn't believethat he was the one that put her in this mess."Well anyway," He continued, "we need to stop Zulch, or he will destroy all."

"What do you mean, by we?" Jzet snapped. "Technically, I'll be all on my own. It's not like, you're going to come swooping down from the divine realms and sword fight with Zulch. Are you?"

"No I am not." said the god glaring at her. "But I will help you."

"How, send Zulch a bad dream so he screams like a girl?" Jzet asked angrily.

"Hey, that's no way to act to a god, who just saved your life." Ganiel snapped. "You are the most ungrateful mortal, I've ever met."

"Well, you didn't exactly ask me if I would want to go on a life threatening mission." Jzet shot back. "Now did you?"

"Well, no," Ganiel said. "I am sorry."

'You better be,' was what Jzet wanted to say. But instead she replied, "I forgive you." She said sincerely. "As long as you help me defeat Zulch," She added.

"Good," said Ganiel. "Now, I'll tell you how I'm going to help you." Jzet nodded. "I'll send you some helpful dreams, tell you some secrets about the Fitrakis, and give you some weapons to help you along the way." Jzet again nodded, this time more vigorously. She was happy about how Ganiel would assist her in the fight against Zulch. Anything, to make her life easier, was a blessing. "But," Jzet groaned always the 'buts'. "I can't do this all right now. I must return to Mithros. He is calling for me."

"Thank you so much Ganiel," said Jzet. "I appreciate what you are doing for me, despite landing me in this damn mess in the first place."

"Don't worry girl, you won't regret any of this." said Ganiel grinning. "One day you'll look back, and be like thank goodness, that dashingly handsome god, Ganiel, made that prophesy up. And you'll be all famous and praised so much that you will forget about all that life threatening danger, I put you into in the first place."

Jzet just laughed.

"I hope it's worth it in the end, than." she said. "Because, a few minutes ago, I might have murdered you for that prophesy."

Ganiel just laughed.

"Fare well, Page Jzet of Queenscove, may your heart guide you in all the things that you do." said Ganiel waving good bye.

And within a blink of an eye, Jzet was sitting back on the couch with Cole, the prince, and Gosha surrounding her. It was just the same as she left them.

"So how do you like it?" Gosha asked her.

Jzet blinked a few times, just to make sure she was still alive. She discovered she was, and then answered question.

"I like it. I like it a lot." said Jzet. "It will be very useful to me."

"What does it do, that you love it so much?" Cole asked. "To me, it just looks like a stupid necklace."

Jzet sighed.

"Cole, you dolt, maybe you should just keep your mouth closed all together." Jzet snapped. "Do not question things, you don't understand."

"Fine," the 4th year page grumbled. "You may be older, meathead, but I still have those two more years of being a page under my belt, than you."

Jonathan smirked at his year mate.

Jzet, meanwhile, ignored both of them.

"Thank you very much Gosha," said Jzet sincerely. "I will see you soon."

"Good bye than, Page Cole, your highness," She dipped into a low curtsey towards Jonathan.

Asshe left Gosha's home with her two friends in tow, Jzet realized that for the first time in a few days, she actually felt safe.

wow.. yep.. wow... thats all I can say.. so Jzet and the dream god (Ganiel) have teamed up to bring down Zulch (hopefully)... and put everything in balance.. yay...

its a good filler chapter.. I think... wasn't as exciting as the last one.. but hey.. it explains a lot... jeez..

So be the 150th and 160th reviewer and get a surprise..

my 15th birthday is in 7 days.. and I do not plan on updating.. so leave me a happy birthday

I will be EXTREMELY happy if I get to 160 reviews or beyond...

And you guys rock.. you really do... so keep it cool.. keep the coke in the lime and shake it all about (sorry I love that song)... and stay safe... don't die or something... cuz I will cry..
