"Woah! I don't think this is going to be a fair battle!" I can only just hear Will over the stormy wind. And I have Meyarin heightened hearing!
"What are we gonna do? We can't beat this thing! He's unbeatable!" Rowan's hand is lifted, trying to keep the dirt swirling into his eyes.
"I don't really know! First thing though, is to let the wind stop so we can hear…" The wind starts to die down just as I'm finishing my sentence. We all cluster together, side to side. Together, we watch a human figure start to form. It's a hideous sight, seeing the muscle and bones connect over bloody tissue.
"What are we waiting for? We should attack now while he's still forming!"
"Not yet Nico. We must see if he's got a weakness. Also, I want to see if I know which God he's the God of. We could use that to our advantage." Nico huffs but I ignore him.
I watch the God's final finishes to his transformation take place. The God is a hideous sight even with his muscles and tissues under his purple skin. His face is half squashed on the left side and he looks a tiny bit like a troll from the Freyan movie Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. He has red veins showing all over his body like tattoos. All in all, the sight is grotesque. And tall. He's not at tall as the Eiffel tower, but close.
"Ahhh! You puny mortals have come to try and stop me. I will see that your demise is quick and painless. Now, ready your weapons!" His voice was old and gruff like an grumpy grandfather. Without all the kindness.
"Sir! Please! Who are you? Where is my uncle?" I shout up at the giant monster.
"You do not know who I am? What uneducated beings are you? I am Zembia! The all mighty God of the world! I am the ruler of all things on this Earth!" His voice thundered down to us, making the ground shake.
"Aylvair, what are we gonna do? That guy's much more powerful than Gaia and she's one of the oldest Goddesses in the world! It took both camps to destroy her! Both camps! We have no chance of beating him!" I look at Nico, knowing his words are true. Almost true.
"Don't worry Nico, we'll figure something out. Just for now, keep him stalling. Talk. See if we can find a weakness." Nico nods.
"What are you idiotic mortals saying? I may be a God but I do not have heightened hearing. No one does!" I frown, deep in thought. Trying to find a loophole.
"So, Zembia. What's your favourite part of Earth to rule over?" I wince at Will's attempt at talking. I can see Rowan and Nico looking at Will oddly.
"What? Aylvair told us to keep him talking. Maybe he has a big ego?" I shake my head and go back to thinking.
'Wait a second! What did Zembia say about what he rules over?' My brain asks me. I go back in my mind a few minutes and try and remember. "I am Zembia! The all mighty God of the world! I am the ruler of all things on this Earth!" Snapping my fingers, I startle Will who's turned into a bit of a nervous wreck.
"Will, are you okay?"
"Ye… Yeah… Sure… I'm fine." He nods his head as he talks and I don't believe him for a minute.
"Will. Everything will be okay. I promise. Plus, you've healed gruesome wounds before. Battles Gaia. Saved the camps. Battling this God will be a piece of cake."
"Yeah, but we knew Gaia's weakness. Zembia has never been mentioned before. We didn't even know he was a God! How the heck are we supposed to defeat him?"
"Leave that to me. I have a plan. But I need you to keep talking. Keep stalling. I'll need all the time that's available. Can you do that?" Will nods. "Great. Can you do it alone? Talk to him alone? If not, that's okay though." Will hesitates before shaking his head.
"I think I'd be okay by myself. But I'd prefer someone to stay with me." I nod in understanding. It would be hard to face a God that no one had heard of before by yourself. I knew I probably couldn't do it. I tapped Rowan and Nico on the shoulders and the four of us huddled together.
"Okay guy. I have a plan. Will and Rowan, you'll stay here and keep the Zembia guy busy. Nico and I will get the things we need to take this guy down. You okay with this plan?" They nod. This was going to be a tough plan to execute.
Okay! So. The exciting stuff is coming up! Reviews will help me in the future so if you take the time to review, I thank you immensely!
