Nyx's Conversations with the dead: Shekinah
Nyx and Shekinah strolled through the vast grove near the castle.
"What are you going to do about Nefret?" Shekinah asked.
"I do not know, what do you think I should do." Nyx replied.
"The task is not up to me, I cannot answer."Stated Shekinah.
"But if it was I would stop her before she does any more damage." Shekinah told Nyx.
"If only it were that simple, I cannot intervene I have to let it take its course." Nyx said.
They came to a large ornate marble bench carved with Celtic symbols. They sat down and turned their attention to a pair of squirrels fighting over a large nut.
"Don't fight little ones." Nyx said in a soothing voice. Then she pulled a large nut out of nowhere and threw it to the squirrels.
"You never seize to amaze me Nyx." Shekinah said laughing.
"I am glad to be a source of amusement." Nyx replied joining in her laughter.
"I hear you have asked young Jack to stay with you and Erebus in the castle." Shekinah said.
"Now where did you hear that?" Asked Nyx.
"The wind spirits love to gossip." She said gesturing to all around them.
"Naughty little spirits, Jack is staying with us." Nyx answered.
"I cannot wait to meet him, the wind says he is a very sweet boy."
"He is, but you should know he is different than most boys." Nyx said.
"How so?" Asked Shekinah.
"Well he's gay."
"Really, well I don't have a problem with that. I may be over two-hundred years old, but I am still cool with all the new things kids are doing. I don't judge people by their life choices." Shekinah said.
"I'm sorry, I wasn't suggesting that.."
"It's alright I know what you meant, its fine."
"What do you thing about going back to the castle and having lunch with Jack and Erebus." Nyx said standing up and offering her hand to Shekinah.
"I would be delighted." Shekinah answered taking Nyx's hand.
"So what are we going to eat?" asked Shekinah.
"I don't know, what do you want. We can have anything made, if you wanted you could get a McRib." Nyx said laughing.
"No thanks, to many calories for me."
"Oh come on your dead, Live a little. Yes, I know the irony in what I just said." They both broke down laughing at that point.
"Okay, have you ever had Mongolian Beef?" Asked Shekinah.
"I can't say that I have."
"Then we'll have that, its a delicious Chinese dish. I know an amazing sauce recipe for it." Shekinah said.
"Sounds delicious, can't wait to try it."
As they walked Nyx asked Shekinah if she'd heard about that computer on Jeopardy called Watson. An how it had beaten the best Jeopardy players, oh what was the world coming to.
