Chapter 23
“So now you know, and no one had to tell you, so really I feel a lot better about that whole situation” Athan blurts out as he continues to look between everyone.
“What are we going to do Archon?” Erebus mutters
“We are going to expose them and bring them to justice. Then we are going to do that for each and every other person that is or has been involved in this whole thing.” Archon growls as he dons his armour and teleports out of the cave.
The others nod their heads before donning their armour as well and following Archon.
As they arrive at the home for Archon’s parents each and every god and goddess that arrived to help Archon fight takes a brief look around before moving towards the house.
“Any sign of the parents?” Daimon asks as he comes in from the east.
“Nope, nothing in the south either. The old king and Queen have either taken a holiday or they know that we are here and allowing us to enter their property” Hekate mutters.
“More like Archon has taken everyone out and they are currently being tortured to get answers and while he is in their having all the fun, we are out here with our heads up our asses discussing things that don’t matter. If you see one of their guards capture if you can otherwise kill” Athan growls as he races towards the house.
“I am with him” Bride mutters as she also races towards the house. The others follow suit. As one they breach the windows, front door and back door at the same time.
“Clear”
“Clear”
“Clear”
“Clear”
“Where the hell is everyone?” Erebus calls.
“Cabin”
“Shit”
“Go”
The sound of fighting is loud as the other appear at the small cabin. Archon lays waste to all the guards that are standing between him and his parents.
“Archon, on the left” Athan calls as he races to join the fight, the other gods and goddesses waste no time in joining in slicing, stabbing and decapitating any and all guards. As they kill the last guard Archon stands before his parents huffing and angry.
“How?” Archon’s mother asks as they continue to stare at each other.
“Too many things didn’t add up. Especially as Dad said something to me just after all the newborns were born. He said that things were going to get worse. I didn’t think much of it until Aibelle said that there were rumours going around that the old King and Queen were doing some things that required me to look into. So, I summoned the elder of the phoenix to ask about any incidents that I needed to know about, and I mentioned that there was a rumour that supers were being taken and others were being killed. But she said nothing, I mean absolutely nothing. So, then I continued to investigate with Aibelle, and do you know what I found.” Archon asks his parents with barely contained rage.
“What? What did you find.” Archon’s mother responds with an annoyed tone.
“I found that the oracles were given a leniency meaning that they could make decisions on their own and that nothing, no consequences would be exacted. Aibelle than found that the oracles were having close communication with the elders and those elders were also having secret communication to all the high-ranking officials. So, imagine my surprise when the Horde King came to me and told me that you had a dinner together and that you and the Queen were having a argument about statis and my dear old mother here was overheard bitching about how I ruined her and my father’s life” Archon replies.
“Bahaha so basically you gave yourselves away because you were jealous. Bahaha imagine the disappointment that you are feeling right now. I mean you must be pissed” Athan says as he looks to his friends with a large smile on his face.
“Shut up Athan. I always hated you” Archon’s mother yells.
“I can honestly say that the feeling is mutual. The horde king and I enjoy our little bitching sessions about you.” Athan says with a large smirk.
“ARGH!” Archon’s mother screams
“So, what you found out a few little things and feel that you have the right to come onto my lands and what accuse me of terrorism.” Archon’s father yells.
“Yeah, we are accusing you, but we are also here to bring you in. You see dad normally you would have been brought in and you would go through the questioning and then they would punish you but the thing that you might not know about is that you killed my fated mate. You killed my fated mate by killing her other and her super meaning that you will not survive this. You will not go to trial, and you will not get to defend yourself.” Archon says with a smile.
“What? That is not what we do. There is always a trial and always the elder present” Archon’s father responds.
“You see that while we are here bringing you in we are also bringing in several others your co-conspirators as you may say” Archon replies
“The one two punch” Athan calls as he comes to stand besides Archon.
“You will not escape what you have done. From here on out you are dead and everything that you have done in your long line of being the King will be wiped from history, and you will only be known as the King that betrayed his people and killed those that opposed him” Bride calls out.
“You can’t re-write the history books that if for the Phoenix not for you” Archon’s mother responds.
“But I can and I will” Nix says as she walks into the cabin’s yard.
“What, since the elder of the Phoenix has been caught and seeing as how Nix here is a next generation goddess she will be taking the elder and her mother’s role as the goddess of the bird species. So that means that she can and will do what she needs to make sure that your names are never mentioned from this night forth.” Hekate says as she too comes to stand in front of the former King and Queen.
