Why hello, there! So I have just a tiny author's note for ya.

To the anon with the language complaint/concern,

The multiple languages my story is written in is VITAL to this story. Most of the time it is written in English, but because they are Gods and Goddess to a culture, it's only correct to write in that language, right? I mean I give English translations most of the time, but I just forgot to add the language key to the end of my previous chapter (which is added now) I will add a key to this one.

Anything else I should answer after this chapter, feel free to message me your concern or leave a review with a name I can get back to you at. I don't particularly like writing author notes for one specific question. I feel like it's annoying to you guys as readers as well. So, I'm done. Here's the next chapter, which will, yes, be featuring different languages. You have been warned.


Ereshkigal

She never cared for these boring meetings. Sure she overlooked the dead and they weren't exciting in the least, but she much rather do that than sit here listening to them drone on about ridiculous policies. For crying out loud, they haven't made one law since the Fourth Great War of God's. And that was ages ago. How many more of these councils did they need till they got as bored as her?

As much as she could see, she seemed to be the only one not paying attention

On the bright side, she sat next to Zeus. Zeus was the only other annoyed God present. With a mask to hide any sort of oral expression and one eye covered, the others never knew what he was mumbling. Any and every comment made by anyone was followed by Zeus' murmurs. Usually they were bored incantations of how stupid or boring the whole meeting was going. She found it particularly entertaining that he started bringing a book since the Bronze Age. The book this day was some lecherous script written by Bas, the Egyptian God of music, dance and sex. It offended Minerva, Shiva and Saa to no end.

Next to Zeus sat Poseidon the Greek God of the sea. Then Izanagi and Izanami. Thor, Odin, and God followed. Minerva, Shiva and then Saa next to her, usually completing the round table. But for whatever Gods forsaken reason Basilisk was present today. He was only ever here to give up annoying topics or news from the human world. Even then, he'd send a snake in his place before he actually showed.

"We have one final topic of discussion." Minerva's deathly boring voice called for the attention of all. Ereshkigal rolled her viridian eyes, casting an angry glance to the hag. Zeus muttered, "Of course you do. Because none of us have realms to look over please, yes, continue."

Shiva stood, an old decrepit soul with most of his face covered in bandage and an arm in a sling. "It has come to our attention that your son's have been visiting the world of the living."

Oh here we go again. Somehow for the past century most of these meetings were about her middle child. He was a troublemaker, yes, but Zeus fucks whatever walks, so who is really causing havoc?

"And you know that how?" A pink eyebrow rose, glaring at the rude God.

"Basilisk?" Then stood the serpent. He had golden eyes that spelt death, and long, dull black hair reaching his waist.

"Yes." His 's' were also drawn out, much to everyone's annoyance. "I happened to be around a hospital in South America. Your son was there as well."

"What business did thou have at a hospital?" God glowered. She was the most intimidating God present. Long honey brown hair and eyes to match, a really filled out chest. She looked relatively young to be one of the older deities, but most of them held the appearance of twenty-somethings.

"I douth have believers, dear." Acid sweetness dripped from his quipped sentence.

"Thou shall tone down thy sass, thy royal scaly-ness." God challenged back.

"As I was saying-"

"Aye! She has point, snake boy." Thor jumped in causing the room to buzz with inquiry. Thor was her more favored God, with his quick wit and foul mouth. With long, thick black hair, that seemed to be a trademark among Gods, and dark eyes to match.

"Hush, all of you." Shiva barked. "Carrying on. Speak your story, Basilisk."

Nodding then clearing his throat, the serpent king of old Europe spoke again. "He was harassing a patient there, calling to him in Maori. That's how I knew it was Whiro. He said the words, 'Peke. Na roto i taua matapihi. Kahore tetahi e mahara ana hoki koutou, e matau ana koe i te reira. Haere. E i te reira'."

If Ereshkigal was shocked in anyway, she did not show it. Instead her face showed more of borderline impassive, mirroring that of a horrendously bored Thor. Thinking carefully of her son's native tongue, she worked to translate it to Latin.

"I do believe he said, if you are pronouncing it correctly as I feel you are not, was, 'Jump through the window. No one cares for you, you know it. Go, do it.' So what of it?"

"Ereshkigal. We agreed your sons were to remain in the shadow world away from humans." Saa growled. He was as old, if not older, than Minerva, and just as dead looking.

"YOU agreed to it. I said nothing on the matter. As far as my concerns go, I feel the young ones shall have free range." Ereshkigal frowned. They had no jurisdiction of the human world, but because they are wisdom deities, they know what is best.

"I feel that is best as well." God mused.

"And why is that?" Slowly, the Goddess of the other world was loosing her internal battle of sanity, irises bleeding into black soulless pits.

"He is causing good humans to kill themselves, tainting their souls. Wouldn't that cause hindrance to your eldest?" Poseidon expressed concern in red irises with black comas spinning almost lackadaisically. He had hair like Thor's except it had more spike to it and was a bit longer.

"Aye, he does have a point, lass." Odin lazily gave. Odin, unlike Thor, was more reserved on judgment and name-calling. He had white hair and wore armor at all times around his face like a sort of mask and a line on his chin and under each red eye.

He did. Ereshkigal could not fight that logic, but her eyes stayed the color of the night sky. Sensing her hesitation, Izanami spoke up.

"As a mother of a vessel I must agree. Our children are of not of this council's concern."

Her husband, Izanagi, an older looking Naruto with longer hair for bangs, nodded. The two rarely spoke during the sessions, opting to watch in enjoyment. Ereshkigal was grateful.

"Speaking of," Oh no. "How is the vessel liking his container?" Shiva stared down at the parents.

"Just fine, thank you. Back off." Izanami growled back. "Anyway. We are done here. We do not come to the meetings to be attacked. I have dinner to make."

With that, the redhead vanished. "Excuse her. She's just sensitive." Izanagi vanished along with her.

"Nonetheless," Saa spoke out, "Your middle child. Whiro. He must be restricted and or punished for his actions. I'll see to it myself if I must."

"Step foot in my domain. I invite you to try. Be a shame if we were to loose one of you." Ereshkigal produced a nail file and started to work on her talons.

"You dare threaten us, girl?" Minerva looked astounded and red in the face. She did not realize, until it stuck out the wall behind her, that the enraged Goddess threw the metal file at her.

"You were saying?"

Thor burst in to laughter, earning a look of disapproval from Shiva and Saa. But he carried on, laughing until Odin swiped at him.

"Let me say this once more, because I know you're old and hard of head. My sons are just that, mine. You shall not touch else you want to be riddled with flesh wounds. You shall not punish if one does not wish to have one's eyes gorged out. Stay away from my home as well. Else I'll surely send Gallû and Cerberus after your sorry asses."

This time, God laughed, standing from the large table. "I have many thing I must do. Shizune! We leave." The angel always with the deity snapped to attention, wings expanding in surprise. The two left in waves of mist.

"Aye. These meetin's are a wee bit boring." Thor cracked his neck and summoned lightning for his grand exist, Odin following his lead.

Poseidon didn't like when the others bicker; he was gone when the Japanese God and Goddess left. Shiva grumbled, leaving with Basilisk. The wisdom pair left with a sneer at the pink-headed Goddess.

The only two left were Zeus and Ereshkigal, who was about to take leave.

"For what it is worth. I feel as though you are doing a fine job."

"Job of?"

"Raising three hellions. Can't be easy."

She laughed. "I am. Do you have kids of your own? On earth or in the sky, where ever thy resides?"

He chuckled back. "Yes, but no. You've heard the stories. I do, however, teach on earth, though. Many students to be watched over, in a way they're like my own"

"Oh."

"Go. You have sons to take care of."

"Yes. I bid you farewell."

"Same to you."
