"Erzulie!!" Agwe shouted. The sun was bright ont he sand and the breeze smelled of sweet flowers. This was a tiny island unknown to the world, a land of peace where the gods could meet and relax.
Slowly before him appeared a mist of pink light.
"Agwe, do not yell at me. I know your reasons for calling me... but I'm not to blame." He huffed, "Then why do you hide from me?" He turned from her and sank to sit in the sand, watching the tide fall in and out.
Slowly, her form began to change into a solid woman. She carefully moved closer to him, still wary. "Human love is a strange thing. the love between your girl and the boy was already there. When he let the love in his heart grow, she chose to let it touch her heart. I help them feel the love that's already there... I don't control it like you do rain or Asaka can make the flowers grow."
He nodded, still not meeting her eyes.
"But why? why put her through this pain. What am I to do, tear her from the man she now loves? I can't hurt her like this!!"
A voice thundered over them, "That is not for you to decide."
Both Agwe and Erzulie jumped and turned. the sky grew dark, the moon was high.
Papa Ge's dark form popped out of the mist on their left and Asaka on their right.
But more importantly, strait in front of them, stood two figures.
More beautiful than anything on earth, more frightening than death itself.
Tall and bright, Sol and Selene.
The Sun and the Moon, king and queen of the gods.
"Your Grace," Agwe bowed, followed by the three other, lower gods.
"Agwe, your consort, your promised sacrifice has had thoughts of leaving you.
This is treason and heresy. There must be a trial. there must be retribution!"
