Chapter 21
Asclepius Point of View
"My parents are Adalia and Hosur," he said, so I covered my mouth and said that my sister had a child.
His mother is Adalia. Third generation Adalia: Adalia has been a servant since Queen Ram's place, followed by my mother and finally me.
"Nice to meet you, my friend," I said to my waiter. Liway smiled as if he understood what I said.
"My mother had many stories when she was still alive about the former queen of Krea, Queen Ram. Your mother followed suit. But I will take care of you." Liway still couldn't get rid of the smile on his lips.
"I didn't expect my good guardian to have a nehera." I squeezed Liway's hand and smiled.
After a long conversation with Liway, he left holding the wine glass case.
This special day is for everyone. Begin by drinking kielo (grape) juice and eating livena (bread).
"Let's drink the kielo (grape) juice together." I raised the glass of wine when suddenly it fell into my hands.
Clio, the Lycan werewolf, is a shamra, or leader of the Krea guardian.
"Do not try to drink the wine because it is poisonous," he loudly warned us all, as we were shocked.
We saw some creatures fall after drinking wine. The guests were horrified by what happened next.
Those who have drunk alcohol become agitated even if their lips vomit black liquid while their eyes turn white.
Even my brothers, Agathodaemon and Hemera, were surprised by the incident.
"How do you know the wine is poisonous?" Hemera asked Shamra of Krea.
The pallor on Shamra's face can be noticed. Its beady sweat and breathless voice
"I just went to the wine room to make sure that the thousand large jars containing wine were complete. When I went there were ten soldiers on guard outside the room. But when I entered the wine room. In a big wine glass, I saw a mapora (stranger) put something in the jar. They quickly disappeared before I saw him but as far as I know he had already made his plan. Because there is a bad wine that is always there go to scoop in his pouch. Amaro, the worst soldier in our row, when he had drunk it, he dropped his wine pouch and began to belch, and a black liquid came out of his mouth. After that his eyes turned black. Call the soldiers to take the injured soldier to the babaylan to be treated. I wanted to report this to you, but someone prevented me from doing so. The only thing I remember is that I lost consciousness when he blew smoke on my face," Shamra told a long story.
"But I was coming here with you just now; how can you say that you passed out?" That’s all I asked.
"Dear god Asclepius, I just escaped from being bound; it's impossible for me to be your companion. It's not me," said Shamra tearfully.
"Agathodaemon," I called to her, and he followed. She immediately got what I wanted to convey.
Agathodaemon looked at her carefully, reading Clio the Shamra's mind. Agathodaemon has a way to tell if he is telling the truth or a lie. Agathodaemon saw the incident.
Using Agathodaemon's power, he showed the event to everyone there using his vision.
Everyone was surprised that what Shamra was saying was true. But the face of the person who put the poison in the jar was not seen because he was covered by a black shield.
"Shamra only tells the truth." She closed her vision to face Shamra.
"Doje ibwa Clio for telling the truth, “said Agathodaemon.
The guests left the palace and returned to their homes. We were left with five gods: Agathodaemon, Hemera, Hesperus, and Blasphemer. We also joined Clio in the conversation.
We went to the sacred meeting of all the gods of Krea.
"I called you, because our enemies still don't stop killing us," I told them before.
"What is your plan, Ilra, Asclepius?" Hesperus asked first.
We were sitting at a table with a large map of Krea engraved on the golden table. There are different types of dorse and liver.
"Right now, I don't have a plan, but I'll think about that," I said, so they just nodded in agreement with me.
I remember that God Zeno wrote a letter. So, I read it in front of them.
"I have summoned you because of the important matter contained in this letter. This is a letter from our second high God. From God Zeno." I folded the paper and looked at them. Almost everyone's reaction was surprise.
My dear good gods and protectors of the world of Krea
I have written to you, and your eldest brother will read it. Tell your brothers and sisters about this letter. I want to have a new successor to my throne.
As the full moon approaches, I want you to prepare for the upcoming exam.
This is a test of your wits, the use of your weapon, and how skilled you are at fighting.
Whoever wins the test will be the one you anoint as your new highest supreme in all of Krea.
loving,
Your God, Zeno
When I finished reading that, Blasphemer stood up to speak.
"But God's law says that no one can take the place of God until the mighty God Zeno passes away," Blasphemer explained at length. All my brothers nodded at what Blasphemer said.
He had a point, but God Zeno wanted something different. God Zeno says this only to me. At any moment, he will also disappear from Krea because he always dreams of unusual things and predicts in his dreams that there is a plan to kill him.
"But we can't deny what he wants because it's the order of the Highest Supreme," I explained, which is why Blasphemer sat in his chair.
All attention was focused on Hemera as she spoke.
"If that's what our dearest supreme God Zeno wants, I have no objection to that," began Hemera, who had been silent on one side just now.
"I'm sure I'm the right fit for the throne of Krea," Hemera added.
"Not you; I deserve to be the queen of Krea. I'm the second eldest, but I'm skilled in fighting. I should be the highest supreme," Agathodaemon proudly answered Hemera as the two looked at each other.
"None of you all will be next to God Zeno. Because I will be the highest supreme who will win the test of our God Zeno. I will be the only one to fight Askar, so if you are chosen to be the next highest supreme, Krea will be destroyed. Let's not be weak anymore. That's where those who are good at fighting can fight against the Krea," after Blasphemer said that we kept quiet as we remembered the Askar's fight. He fought against the Hekada soldiers alone.
"Keep your tongue in your speech, Blasphemer; don't be too arrogant. It's not because you fought the Soldiers alone that you are the one who will take over to be the Highest Supreme. Our parents taught us to be humble and not boast about the honor that we don't have will blow." Hesperus' words were interrupted when Blasphemer greeted him with a strong blow on his cheek.
"Hekada! You have no right to dictate what I say. And you have no right to include our parents in our conversation." The blasphemer shouted angrily at Hesperus.
We were all surprised by the incident, so we took it off. But we can't get rid of Blasphemer because it's so powerful. It was so strong that Agathodaemon and I just splashed into the corner.
Hesperus' lips bled from the force of Blasphemer's blow. I was about to stand in the corner when Hemera grabbed me by the shoulder. It signals that 'I will take care of the two. Hemera did well to wean Hesperus and not Blasphemer.
The blasphemer looked at Hemera while hugging Hesperus.
"I've been holding on to you for a long time, Hesperus; our mother always noticed that. Are you going to take away my siblings too?" Blasphemer asked angrily and was about to hit Hesperus again with a blow from Blasphemer if Hemera didn't pull it away.
"Go ahead, Blasphemer! Hurt our dehar (sibling)." Hemera released her palm power, causing Blasphemer to back away.
"It's not just lightning that you two will get if you don't stop!" Hemera said angrily as she looked at their faces one by one.
My eyes widened at the next incident of Blasphemer using his war power. Against Hemera.
"Shut up!" Blasphemer shouted at Hemera as he released his power. Blasphemer's power almost made Hemera fall from the palace.
"You don't even know, Hemera! You are the reason our mother died." Blasphemer still uses power against Hemera.
In Blasphemer's anger, he waved his hand so that he would fly. When Hemera was flying, it was hard for him to breathe.
"I must be the Highest Supreme, and none of you, if not me!" The blasphemer shouted.
Agathodaemon immediately helped Hemera stand up. I can't hold back anymore; I'm going to wean myself from this.
"Stop the Blasphemer; Hemera is innocent of our mother's death!" Hesperus shouted as he stood up from his seat.
Hesperus unleashed his sun power.
"Don't try to make us all fight for the throne. It's better that no one be the Highest Supreme than that I have the Highest Supreme but have a bad attitude!" Hesperus emphasizes the word bad manners.
"What the hell did you two stops fighting each other? Do you want us to mourn your madness?" I waved my hand and stopped them from their madness.
"If we can't agree and congratulate each other, I will take your lives myself!" I said to both. Hesperus and Blasphemer
My two brothers were afraid of my threat that I would never do it. I will not take their sahals (souls).
"I will never apologize and make peace with a dead person and my worthless Dehar." Blasphemer was interrupted when I went to his place to slap him hard.
"You're insulting! You're making your mind up, kid!" I said angrily, and his eyes widened, and he started to cry.
"None of you killed against our mother. You are right to be offended. It is not right for you to hurt each of us." I cried as I said that.
