CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Boop

People stopped and stared at them. Asha didn't blame them. Afterall they were lugging a huge sea serpent behind them on a makeshift trailer, it's head grazing the ground, and it's tail dragging behind. Hector rode out in the front and Asha stuck close to the back, not feeling very excited about all the attention she was getting.

"How do we know if it's edible or not?" Asha mused to Lupaz, who had ditched a normal horse and was just levitating, "And why cant you just ride a horse? People are staring."
Lupaz yawned, "It's more comfortable. It was either levitating or my dragon form. The people aren't too weirded out by it Asha. Afterall they all think I am Posidon."

"So the Greek God's don't exist?"

"Oh they do." The God answered, "They just don't want to fight with the Dragon God's."

Asha shook her head, she didn't want to ask too many question's when people were pooling all around them. Lupaz didn't seem to care, but that didn't mean she didn't have to. Then something she had forgotten about spouted out of her mouth, "Where's Prince Diomede's and my bike?"

Lupaz froze, his face surprised that he had somehow forgotten an important thing, "I uh. He's still in the dungeon. One second." He snapped his fingers and a person fell out of the sky to land on his bottom.

Diomede's didn't look worse for wear, he actually looked like he had been sleeping, since he was naked.

Asha covered her eyes, "Lupaz, I think he got out by himself."

"I uh, figured that." Lupaz laughed.

"So hilarious." The Prince stated, violently grabbing the robe one of Hector's guards offered him, "I thought you both died when you didn't come back for me."

Asha tried not to laugh, "Yeah sorry, I was being chased by a cranky Sun God."

"Did Athena help you?" Lupaz asked, he had stopped levitating and was looking critically at the Prince.

His eyes stared at the giant serpent, mouth slightly agape, "Er. No. My favour ran out two years ago. What... happened?"

"We were at the beach when the serpent attack, Lupaz being useless wasn't able to beat it," Asha explained, Lupaz gave her a glare that said he wasn't impressed, "So that cranky Sun God I ran away from did. Now we are going to make sushi out of it."

Diomede's shook his head, "Ok. Well... I have to go. Achilles will be worried why I disappeared out of thin air."

"I didn't know you two were lovers." Lupaz stated, he examined his fingernails, showing that he had no intention of putting Diomede's back where he had been.

"We aren't." Diomede's stated firmly, "I will have to explain to the two women who were with us why I disappeared out of thin air too."

"Shame. Would have been a great tale." Asha sighed, "The Epic of Diomede's and his love for the mighty warrior Achilles."

He shot her a glare, "I could show you how much I am not interested in him."

"Hmmmm. No." She urged her horse forwards, "Lupaz where's my bike?"

"At the palace." He answered, following her and leaving the Prince behind.

"Can I have some clothes at least!" Diomede's called after them.

Asha glanced to Lupaz and shook her head, "Let him be."

The God shrugged, "I was going to anyway."

And so they rode onwards, leaving an annoyed Prince Diomede's behind.

The palace was lively as they arrived, Hector had sent some messengers ahead to inform the cooks of the huge serpent that was arriving to be cooked, and to inform the King.

Asha still hadn't met the King of Troy, and wondered why Hector hadn't taken her to see him yet. She remembered that in the books she had read that his character changed diversely, some books portrayed him as a great king that loved him family, some made him to be a cruel man that used his family and sold off his daughters to the highest bidder. The movie had portrayed him as a great man as well, but Asha had noticed that this timeline didn't seem to follow that one all too closely, afterall, the god's weren't real in it.

Curious and a bit nervous, wondering what Hector had told the King.

The huge wooden gates swung out and they entered the palace grounds, cooks had set up huge bonfire's that could cook all the meat that they had brought with them. A refined elder woman stood at the steps that led inside of the main building, arms to her side.

She had greying hair and a stern face, beside her stood Andromache, hair still wet from a day at the beach.

Hector's bride to be noticed that Asha had arrived alone with the Prince and gestured to the woman.

Grey flinty eyes narrowed at Asha as Hector led them towards her.

Lupaz was fiddling with his finger's, not a care in the world when the woman said, "So your the woman that is the so called Chosen One?"

Asha blinked, wondering what she had done to make this woman instantly hate her.

"Mother." Hector snapped slightly, "Asha this is Queen Heckabe, my mother. Mother, this is Asha Stormgrey. And yes she is the Chosen One."

Asha blinked, she was standing in front of King Priam's wife, she tried to bow, but wasn't used to doing so, "I uh... excuse me. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance Queen Heckabe."

Lupaz sniggered at her attempt, and in doing so the Queen's attention shot to him, "We haven't met before, my name is Lupaz, I am the God of Time and Asha's mentor."

"Stalker you mean." Asha whispered and Lupaz grinned wider.

"A Dragon God it seems. I didn't know that you were here." Queen Heckabe didn't seem impressed, emphasising her distaste for Lupaz but ignoring him and turning back to Asha, "You are a woman. We expected the Chosen One to be a male." Her stern eyes raked up and down Asha, who have changed into her trousers and shirt again, "Too pretty. I can't believe that you have the power to change the future."

Lupaz rolled his eyes, "Everyone says that. They said that a woman like you couldn't tie down a man like Priam, but here you are."

"I wasn't the one that tied him down, that was Hector. And he isn't tied down at all, where he is and who he is with is proof enough." Heckabe, she glanced at Hector then to Andromache, "This is the first time you have met your wife to be face to face isn't it son."

Hectors eyes widened, looking over to Andromache, "It is. You've been avoiding me."

"I arrived just a couple of days ago you highness." Andromache snapped, her eyes angry, "I don't suppose I am allow to settle in first?"

"My you remind me of myself when I was younger." Heckabe laughed, placing a hand against Andromache's arm, "That's why my husband is already after you."

Andromache's cheeks flamed up and she looked away, "He's loyal to you only."

"Ha! Tell that to the women with him right now!" Heckabe laughed.

Hector didn't look impressed with his mother's behaviour, "Mother, we have a feast to prepare."

"Yes yes, with the giant sea serpent." She pondered for a moment, gazing at the beast, "Is it edible?"

Lupaz flinched, he had forgotten that Asha had asked the exact same question, "I uh... No it's not."

Chuckling Asha patted Lupaz on his shoulder, "Thanks for telling us this."

He gave her a glare, then he closed his eyes, bright blue lights danced around his fingers and then flicked to the serpent. The beast glowed a bright blue until the light was too bright to look at.

They looked away and when it dimmed they glanced back to find a massive hunk of pork on a huge spit, it was the same size as the serpent but the whole thing was edible.

"Bag the crackle!" Asha yipped, she loved pork, "Has it been seasoned?"

Lupaz gave her a look, "Of course. You will have to share your crackle with Goldem, he loves it too."

"You Dragon God's do have a use then." Heckabe stated, she tsked and walked to the spit, everyone around them was gaping at the food, "Start cooking it!"

The cooks nodded dumbly and set to their job, reaching the dangling handle of the spit and tying a rope to it so it would be easier to turn. Others set to coaxing a flame to start, it took one spark and the whole thing whooshed with fire.

Asha sighed, "Really, you had to make it semi explosive."

"I have no idea what your talking about." Lupaz stated, grinning.

Heckabe nodded her head, "Good. I will fetch my husband so that we can start this officially."

"Pst Lupaz," Asha whispered, the God turned to her, "The crackle is MINE."

"Your really going to try and eat all of it?" Lupaz sighed, he rubbed his temple, "You won't stay so fit and healthy for long then."

She shrugged, "I don't care. It's crackle!"

"A bit of food wont make Asha's beautiful figure disappear." Andromache snapped.

All three turned to her, Hector's eyebrows rose when he saw that Andromache was blushing.

The Princess fluttered her eyelashes, giving Asha a pinning look and turned away.

"I have no idea." Asha said before either men could turn to her.

"Your wife to be... is into women Hector." Lupaz stated, "But picking Asha as a potential... well. She has a lot of competition."

Hector stared at Lupaz and shook his head, "I don't want to think about it right now, I need to help my mother get father." And he was off.

"Competition eh?" Asha growled, she was ready to attack Lupaz.

But the God had disappeared yet again, leaving Asha ready to punch anyone who came by. Giving a growl she sat on the stone stairs and watched the meat being cooked, not the most thrilling thing.

The sky was turning dark, Asha noticed that the days were getting shorter and shorter, she would have to ask someone if it was turning to winter. Giving a shiver, as it was getting colder Asha wondered if she should go to her room and grab a jacket, and also inspect the coin.

Something was slug across her shoulders and she turned to find Hector, he had placed a cloak on her and sat beside her.

Giving a sigh Asha rested her head against his shoulder, surprising him, "It was a nice day."

"You never seem surprised by anything here. Serpent's, God's, Queens." He chuckled, brushing a hand through her hair, "Women chasing after you."

"Hey come on, that's new to me." Asha retorted, she shook her head, making her hair fall in her face to cover the blush, "I'm not used to getting a lot of attention, that's reserved for my elder sisters."

"Well. I think you deserve some attention every now and again."

"I'm sorry for not being able to tell you much Hector." Asha said, she closed her eyes, "I would. But I would rather not and not have it happen."

"Tell me something that won't... worry me then." He said casually, pressing for some information.

"Well, let's just say that you have a son, who's really cute, and that your a kick ass warrior." Asha stated, not wanting to give too much away, like the reason he died, or what would happen to Troy after the war ends.

"A son?" Hector grinned, "What's his name?"

"Figure that out for yourself." Asha laughed, "It will happen soon enough."

"Your cruel Asha." Hector said, then he sighed, "Is it a happy marriage?"
"You grow to love each other like family." Asha stated, "I'm not too sure though. There wasn't much about you two in the books I read." She had lied, there was a lot, especially about Andromache hooking up with Hectors best friend and having the child with him.

Hector blinked, "Just familiar love huh. That's slightly... upsetting."

"Got your hopes up for true love?" Asha murmured, "Doesn't everyone? I gave up when my first love totally ignored me and got a boyfriend."

"I- what?!"

"I was joking." She laughed, jumping up she gestured to the pork roast, "It's ready! I can smell it!"

"Yes the crackle is mine!" Goldem yelled from the top of the stairs, the golden dust settling around him showing that he had just showed.

"You gotta fight me for it!" Asha called up to him.

The Golden God's eyes shot to her, then to Hector, then back to her, "I'm a God, I get to have whatever I want."

"Not the crackle!" Asha growled, she stood firm, arms crossed, and glared angrily at Goldem.

The God sighed, "Who's older here-"

"I am!" Asha said, "I am technically three thousand years old." She grinned, she heard Hector give a huff of surprise.

Goldem eyes narrowed, "Your lying."

"So not. Ask Lupaz." Asha challenged, "how about this, we split it."

Goldem shook his head, "No."

"You two," Hector stated, walking between them, that when Asha noticed that she had advanced on the God, "The soldier's are already eating it."

Asha jumped, her eyes jumping to where the soldier's were, laughing merrily and chomping on her crackle, "But... no!"
She fell to her knee's, "Crackle no!"

Hector laughed, "Asha, hush. We can find some more."

Goldem gave a growl, "Those worms." He snapped his fingers and suddenly a silver platter of gorgeously cooked crackle was in his hand.

Asha almost pounced on him immediately, but Hector wrapped an arm around her waist, "Goldem, are you trying to get yourself murdered?" The Prince asked.

The God shook his head, "It's for Asha."

"Omg yes please. I love crackle!" She cried out, struggling against Hector's strong arm.

Giving a sigh the prince released her and Asha snatched the plate away.

"Thanks." She said between a mouthful, "Originally I thought you were bad, but now. Not too sure." She shrugged, "Hey Hector where's the King?"

"He had to... finish up what he was doing." He answered, narrowing his eyes at Goldem as the God sat next to Asha.

She gobbled down one of the last pieces then turned to the god and gave him the plate, one pristine piece of crackle was left, a gift to Goldem, "I don't want to know. I just have never met him and wonder what he's like."

"He's gotten older." Hector said.

"Really. One piece?" Goldem sighed.

"Better then nothing!" She grinned, then she hoped up, shrugging the cloak off of her shoulders and back onto Hector's, "I have to do something with something that I found at the beach."

Goldem glanced up, then away as she left, "Have a nice night Prince."

The God disappeared just as Asha got to the top of the stairs, "Hector!"

The Prince looked up at her as she yelled down, "Your the best dad ever!"

Then she disappeared into the palace, leaving Hector staring after her.

Reaching her room she brushed a hand through her salty hair and sighed, licking her lip's from the lingering grease she opened the door, surprisingly Goldem wasn't there yet so she glanced to her tunnel entrance. Wondering if she should go see Silva quickly she opened it and walked inside.

But instead of the usual threads lining the walls, the blue and white were gone, only silver, gold and what seemed to be grey was still there.

She gave a yelp as the whole tunnel shook and the walls around her turned to black, the silver and gold shone brilliantly, illuminating the area, but the grey had turned to a pitch of black that sucked in the light. Asha threw away caution and decided to follow the black, it would be easy enough to find silver again later. Pressing a hand against the wall her eyes followed the thread, with her feet following close behind. Almost slamming head first into the wall she closed her eyes and murmured the words, "Figore Oahr."

The passageway opened and she covered her eyes against the brightness that emitted from the room.

Asha cocked her head as she heard giggles emit from the new area, poking her head through the passage she knocked her head against a bookcase that was guarding the entrance.

The giggles continued but a deep voice growled, "Did you hear that?"

"I heard nothing my ruler!" A sweet high pitched voice stated, it was the girl that had been giggling.

She heard something or someone get pushed and fall onto the floor softly, "Of course you wouldn't. You nymphs have no sense of hearing. It came from the Portal."

"The one that Lady Lunar made? My, then it could be a visitor?!" The girl exclaimed, she didn't seem too upset about being discarded onto the floor.

Asha's eyes were wide as she heard the footsteps approach and she muttered, "Figore Oahr." The tunnel closed but she could still hear the voice's.

"It's closed again." The male stated, then he growled, "Figore Oahr."

The tunnel was reopened and Asha blinked up at a tall dark stranger, "Er. Hi. Sorry. Wrong thread." Then she gave a grin and said, "Figore Oahr."

"Figore Oahr Gaol." The tunnel reopened, and it seemed that it wouldn't re-close.

Asha stared up at the tall man, he had huge broad shoulders and wasn't wearing a shirt so she could see the black emblem on his hip, it looked like a dragon attacking something. The man was gorgeous, though he looked older then the God's she had met, his eyes showed that he had seen more, and the stubble that grew on his chin showed that he was a man. His hair was a pitch black like the thread, and his eyes seemed to suck in all of the light around them.

"Your a friend of Lunars?" He growled, "Did she not tell you to just stick to the right thread?"

"There was a thread?" Asha said obliviously, she laughed nervously, "I was just trying to follow silver."

The man's eyes narrowed even further.

"Your really pretty!" The Nymph stated, she had jumped up, and wore no clothes, her hair was a bright blue and her eyes a pretty violet, "What's your name?"

Asha blinked, "I uh, obviously intruded on you two," She gave a curtsy, "beg your pardon, Silva wanted to talk to me."

"My Nephew can wait." The man grumbled, "Fresia, leave."

The Nymph bowed, "Yes my ruler."

"Nephew?!" Asha exclaimed.

His black eyes turned back to her as Fresia left, then he surged forwards, grabbing her throat and lifting her up like a rag doll, surprise lit his features and he placed he back down almost instantaneously, "Your human. Silva doesn't talk to humans."

Asha rubbed her throat, giving a cough she nodded, "Yeah, totally and fully human. God's that hurt." Shaking her head she gave the new guy a huge glare and clutched her necklace, "He talks to me. And he wants to do so now."

"Figore Oahr Derau." The guy growled, eyes never leaving Asha, she heard the tunnel slam closed and a sound like locking, "You can't leave now girl."

Giving a growl Asha made her sword appear and pointed it to the man's face, "I don't care that your a God but so help me, release me now!" Her eyes darted to the door then back to the man.

Instead of backing off, the man just laughed and walked forwards, into her sword. It pierced where his heart was supposed to be and no blood fell from the wound.

Asha was shocked, she released her hold on the sword's power and it reappeared as a necklace, "What the hell."

"I'm a god, girl. Nothing you do to me will kill me." Then he moved forwards to press her against the wall, "Now tell me, why are you talking to Silva?"

"He's uh... well." Asha struggled against his iron like grip that he had on her hands, "I'm Asha by the way. Asha Stormgrey."

The hand's only seemed to tighten and Asha gave a whimper as she felt a bone break, "Asha Stormgrey, tell me why you are meeting Silva."

"No. Your not asking nicely. And if he is your nephew, then ask him yourself." She retorted stupidly.

"Your an idiot." The man growled, he grabbed her upper arm and twisted it.

Asha gave a cry of pain, as the god released her, she fell to the floor, tears threatening to fall from her eyes.

"My nephew and I are enemies." The God stated, "I want him dead."

"Well that's a nice family bond you have going for you." Asha gasped, "But gods! You had to break my arm?!" She sat up. Wiping away her tears with her good hand she almost screamed as she twisted the arm back into place.

The man seemed confused by the lack of pain he had inflicted in her, "I broke your arm, you should be begging me for mercy."

"I don't beg for nothing. And if your against Silva then I have to also tell you that Goldem is looking forward to seeing me too. And Lupaz will probably be worried about where I have gotten to." Asha stated, her eyes narrowed, she stood up and squared off against the God.

"You know them all?" The man muttered, "Who exactly are you."

"Asha." She growled, crossing her arms, her bad arm had healed already and she saw him stare at it.

"You, healed." Then he growled, "You must be the Chosen One."

She nodded her head, "Not so nice to meet you...?"

"I am Iccor, or as in the common speech, Shadow." The God replied.

"Ah, I get it. Blackness." Asha nodded, she tried to edge away from the god of evilness but he followed her like well... a shadow, "Can I leave now."

"Your hiding something." Shadow growled, he reached out a hand as if she would hand over whatever she had to him.

"My intense dislike for the dark? Yeah, sorry. I'm more of a sunshine person." Her hand went to her collarbone, near where the coin was hidden.

"Don't mock me girl. You have an artefact on you." Shadow snapped, he pointed to her chest, "Give it to me."

"An artefact?" Asha asked, but the God wasn't listening to her, instead he grabbed her arm and pressed her against a wall, his other hand sliding up her shirt and under her bikini top, he grabbed the coin but left his hand there much longer then necessary.

Withdrawing his hand, but not releasing her he raised his eyebrows, "Where did you get one of the Illum Artefact's?"

"From a giant sea serpent that Goldem killed." Asha answered, she struggled against his grip, "Ok, you have the artefact thingo, let me go."

Shadow glared at her, "You can't leave yet." But he released her hand and rubbed his chin, flipping the coin.

"Why not?! You've broken my arm, assaulted me, molested me and I am so over it all!" Asha snapped, she went to punch his face but he caught the hand easily.

"Molested you? I'm not the one who put the artefact in such a compromising area. And it was quite a nice area." He leered at her, "No wonder Goldem likes you. Fresia was right, your pretty. And have everything in all the right places."

Asha squirmed, yet another man after her, joy, but she guessed that she was healthier looking then most women in this era, her hair much softer, and yes, she was more curvy and fit.

"Stop squirming." Shadow growled, he moved a hand to stroke her stomach.

Asha moved her head and bit down on the arm holding her tight.

He didn't release her, instead the hand that was travelling on her stomach moved down to her trousers and untied them, "Pain doesn't faze me Asha."

"Help!" Asha screamed, she struggled harder and glared at her attacker, "Let me go immediately!"

"Why. You interrupted me and Fresia, I may as well finish up." He laughed at her.

Asha closed her eyes, wishing that she hadn't been curious, afterall, curiosity killed the cat, she blanked out everything going on around her and focussed on a single image in her mind, her home. Oh how she wished she could be home, she wished she could just fly there.

She didn't feel anything for a couple of second and her eyes shot open to find Shadow staring at her, his shaggy black hair was whipping into his eyes from the wind around them.

"Stop it!" He growled, releasing her he backed up away from Asha.

She narrowed her eyes in confusion until she realised that the wind wasn't coming from a window, it was coming from her, focusing in on herself like she read in books she felt something taking away her energy, and fed more to it.

It was like a hurricane was unleashed in the room, the bookcase went flying towards Shadows, the bed creaked as the winds tugged at it. Every projectile that was flung at the God rebounded off of a black barrier around him, but the weird looking wind that sprang from her finger tips pierced the barrier and knocked him backwards. Asha tried to plug the draining, but didn't know how to. So she ran for the door, slamming it open and running outside.

The room was set in a cliff, which overlooked a huge city, but what caught her eye were all of the stars hanging in the sky, and the huge purple moon hanging up high, a castle far off in the distance had a spiral tower that seemed to touch the moon and hold it up.

Almost slumping over from the drain of energy Asha looked back to find that Shadow hadn't followed her yet. Giving a groan she started to run along the narrow path, which seemed to be made out of starlight. Turning a corner she slammed into an unmoving chest, looking up she found silver eyes watching her without expression, "Which door did you come from Asha?"

With a cry Asha flung her arms around the familiar God, one that hadn't tried to attack her yet, "I accidently went through Shadow's. Can you tell me how to stop these winds?"

"Winds?" Silva asked, then he noticed the debris flying around, "Ah. I also have wind affinity, so I didn't notice before. Breathe in deeply," He broke away from Asha and held her shoulders, gazing into her eyes, "Don't release that breath, think of the wind settling, think of a leaf falling to the ground and staying still."

Asha closed her eyes, imagining the leaf and the wind settling down, she felt her energy stop being drained and reopened her eye's and smiled gently at Silva, "Thank you so much."

Silva didn't say anything, instead he shoved her behind him and growled, "Uncle."

Shadow had followed them, "Sorry for breaking the touching moment." He said unapologetically, giving Asha a wink, "It's rare to see you in Human form."

"It's more practical when in this area." Silva snapped, "We will be going, I need to talk to Asha about something important, I was worried when she didn't arrive at the time I stated."

Shadow shook his head, "I was already busy with her nephew. With thing's you wouldn't understand."

"You were trying to bed her." Silva stated blandly, "Your not allowed near her."

"Ah, you've been learning about what you can do in that form, how about we share her?" Shadow said, he stared at Asha, eyes roving her body.

Silva stepped to block Shadow's view of Asha, "I don't overly like sharing thing's, call me spoiled. Farewell Uncle." He turned and grabbed Asha's arm, leading her away.

"Asha, if you want your artefact back, you know which thread to follow." Shadow called, she glanced back to find hind playing with the coin in his long slender fingers.

Ignoring him and having to jog to keep up with Silva she swore to herself not to ever follow black again, "What is this place?"

"The Dragon God's domain." Her escort answered, he slowed his pace until they were outside a mahogany door, the handle was set with diamonds and made out of gold, he reached for it, "It's a place where immortals stay when they are tired of the mortal realm. It's a place of serenity and peace." His hand tightened on the grip, "But God's like Shadow are always working to make it into a place of chaos. You may think his name means darkness, but Iccor means Chaos in the commoner's tongue. It's an apt name for something like him." He twisted the handle and Asha placed a hand on his shoulder.

"He said he and you were enemies." She stated.

The silver God nodded his head, "Yes we are. I am what you would call the opposite of him. The moment I was hatched he declared us enemies," He sighed, walking into his room, which Asha was familiar with, the huge bed with it's silky sheet's seemed to sing a song to her, "My mother tried in vain to connect her children with Shadow, to make him care for us."

"Us?" Asha asked, she walked over to the bed and laid down, giving a sigh of contentment as she sunk into the mattress.

"Lunar, Lupaz, Goldem and I. He hates all four of us. Especially me." Silva had walked over to a book case and withdrew a hefty tome, it was covered in dust but she could see that it's cover was a bright blue, "You had an artefact that he took from you?"

"Yes. A coin. He called it an Illum Artefact. I found it in the maw of the sea serpent." She explained.

The God walked over, his kimono like robe brushing the ground, it was slightly open at the top and she could spy toned pale skin, Silva sat down, opening the book, "A valuable artefact then."

Asha sat up on her elbows, "What is an artefact."

"A magic item. The Illum ones give control over thing's. The one you had had power over beasts. There are some that grant eternal life, or ones that take life. Each has it's own value. Some are nothing more then overpriced trinkets. All Dragon god's hoard artefact's," He brushed his earring, which she just noticed, it was a tear drop and hung on a delicate chain of silver, the drop was a beautiful aqua blue, "I have many others, but this is the most important one. You do have an artefact left. Your necklace."

Her hands flew to her sword necklace, "It's very useful."

"Yes. Well us God's hoard them because of that. Others, like Goldem, sell them to those that need them." Silva explained, "Shadow though, uses them for his own means."

"From my experience with him he doesn't seem like the greatest and friendliest." Asha murmured, she laid back down and sighed, "I need to head back to the castle and have a nice long bath."

"You will come back immediately afterwards. I want to have a good night's rest."

"Oh, not a month's worth?" Asha asked lazily, standing back up and walking to the door, "And I need to do a couple of thing's before I retire. So be patient."

"I have decided that you would be much more glad if I didn't make it a whole months sleep," Silva smiled slightly, "And I don't think I would be able to stand it in this form, instead, you shall be joining me on a witch hunt, starting tomorrow."

"I.. what?!" Asha exclaimed.

"Your power's have appeared and it appears you have a wind affinity. I shall be your trainer. Bring your needed gear here tonight." Silva explained.

"Appeared, like you knew that I would have powers." Asha pondered.

"Yes. You are afterall the Chosen One."

She shook her head, "Fine. As long as it doesn't take too long, I have things to do."

"It won't mess up anything you had planned Asha." The God stated, then he stood back up from the bed and walked to the door leading into the Dragon God's Realm, "I shall see you later."

"Fine. I guess I shall." Asha grumbled, not too excited about doing a hunt with a God she had just met, but guessing that in the end that it would help. She stood up and entered the portal, gazing at the threads she flinched when the black thread beckoned to her.

"Oh yes, and Shadow's thread has a sort of song that you cant hear, it make you want to follow it, cover your ears. You had no idea when you first followed it, it's not your fault." Silva stated, his voice breaking the trance she had been in.

Asha sighed, looking for gold and following it, all of the other colours had reappeared and she eventually followed red to her room. Wondering what the hell was going to happen now she opened the door.

Another huge update. Enjoy it you nerds. :P

Witch hunt is on next chapter, the chapters shall be huge, like this one, and it will be chock full of cool stuff, don't worry all the other God's will be in it, and maybe a Goddess.

Btw. I hate Shadow. He's the main protagonist if you haven't guessed already (I made him up so that I wouldn't like him)

Thanks for reading again!
