Falling Skys, Ch 9
"You're sure?" He asked, his mouth twisting subtly at the corner. She, like everyone else he knew, didn't notice.
"Yes. Everything you've told me, it's exactly what I want. This plan of yours, it will put my brother, my adulterous husband, in his proper place. This will finally punish his bastard children, like they disserve." Hera, queen of the gods, smiled, her teeth gleaming wickedly.
"Indeed. When everything is done, your husband will have eyes for none but you." He kept his eye contact with her, not flinching away as so many would when dealing with a goddess.
"Good. And you swear you'll take care of them all?"
"Upon the River Styx, I now swear every one of them that is not your child will die. So long as you keep to your end of the bargain." He felt a tingling in his arms, and a warmth spread across his body, as though some magic was trying to bind the words he spoke to him. Yet the warmth stopped, suddenly turning frigid, as he knew it would.
"Yes. I'll stay away, until Zeus calls for me."
And so, Hera left. And soon after, she felt the absence of Athena. And Hera smiled, glad at last to be rid of Zeus' illegitimate daughter. So far, everything he had told he was happening. So she returned to her home, to her throne, to wait.
Marluxia was free, no longer bound to fight the goddess. He turned, now prepared to move on to the next part of his plan. For Marluxia had his own plan; a plan that could bring the Organization, that could bring Xemnas, to its knees.
He walk away, towards where he knew his coconspirator would be. He would keep his promise to Hera, for the moment, so she would do what need be done. And after the gods fell, he would put an end to the Organization, and regain his heart.
His only regret was that Larxene had refused to help him.
