Chapter 104
“Archon, Archon. Shakti is stuck” Phoebe yells across the room trying to get his attention.
Archon quickly turns towards Phoebe’s voice and races across the room, followed closely by the others.
“What are you doing?” Shakti mutters
“Watch and see, you will be near death but you won’t die” Phoebe says under her breath and then quickly drops the marble back on to her and grabbing a piece of rebar and stabbing that through the side of Shakti’s body and into the marble that was now laying back across Shakti’s body.
“ARGH!” Shakti screams out as Archon drops beside her.
“It’s ok, we will get you out of there” Archon says as Erebus and Daimon look at the marble as well as the rebar and blood everywhere.
“Um, bro this is bad. Call the medics” Lycus says as he stands to the side and looks at the marble and rebar.
“That is a lot of blood” Hekate mutters as she moves closer to Aibelle.
“I can stem the blood flow if you can life the marble” Aibelle says softly as she continues to watch Shakti.
“Ok, lets do that” Archon says as he grabs Aibelle’s hand and gives it a light squeeze.
“A..Arc..Archon” Shakti stutters as she coughs up a large amount of blood.
“On three” Archon says as he turns back to his friends and gives the count down.
“1...2…3” Archon calls there are large grunts as the large chunk of marble is removed from Shakti.
Aibelle weaves her magic and lays it over Shakti and just as it fully encloses her the medics run into the room.
“King, what do we have?” The head medic calls
“Shakti, is bleeding badly. Aibelle her has stemmed her blood loss we need to get her to the pod” Archon barks as he looks around the room.
The medic nods his head and signals to the others to move as the get Shakti sorted for transport. The medic takes a look at the weave and looks at the new goddess.
“You have saved her life, goddess you are truly remarkable” The head medic says as he and the follow medic start moving towards the healing centre.
“Thank you medic, please let me know if I can be of help to anyone else” Aibelle says as she looks after the stretcher with Shakti on it.
“King, are you coming?” The head medic asks as he stops to look at the King.
“No, I have other people trapped here” Archon responds.
Four days, that was how long it took to sort everyone and the buildings out. Four long days where Archon, Hekate, Aibelle, Lycus, Daimon and Erebus worked relentlessly to get the building the people that were hurt back to normal.
“Any word?” Archon asks as he comes to sit at the head of the table
“No, there was a sudden burst of power that was also felt in the super realm but other than that we can’t find what caused it or who did it.” Lycus mutters as he grabs a large cup of coffee.
“The demons don’t know either, they felt it and they said that it felt truly evil but no idea where or from whom” Daimon mutters as he continues to eat his melon.
“The shadows know something. They have been a lot of whispers lately and they are not good. I am going to the shadow realm later today to see what I can find” Erebus says before grabbing another fluffy bread roll.
“The witches are all out of whack.” Hekate says as she looks around the table.
“How is Shakti?” Athan asks as he looks at Archon.
“Head medic says she will be released tomorrow. There was some damage but overall, she will be fine and should be fully healed within the next couple of weeks.” Archon says with a tired sigh.
The chatter within the room increases as Aibelle walks into the dining hall with Athena and Helios. Archon sits up straighter and stares at her as she continues to discuss something with Athena while Helios looks on with a proud smile.
“What is he so proud about?” Athan says as he follows Archon’s slight smile as he watches the three.
“Oh, it is such amazing news” Hekate says with large smile
“Tell me” Athan begs as he look back and forth between Athena, Helios and Aibelle and Hekate.
“Nope not my happy to tell” Hekate says laughingly.
“What, you can’t do this I need to know” Athan growls as he continues to move his head back and forth.
“Morning” Helios says happily while pulling Athena closer to his side as Aibelle smiles and moves around the table to take a seat next to Hekate.
“Morning bitches” Bride calls loudly as she walks up to the table and pushes Athan out the way so that she can take the seat next to Hekate.
“Bride, long time no see. How is the super realm going?” Lycus asks as he looks Bride up and down.
“Well, pup there are quite a few things going on at the moment but the mostly the news here is spreading like wildfire.” Bride says with a happy smirk towards Athena and Helios.
“What, what am I missing?” Athan whines
“You brain?” Erebus mutters while dodging the banana thrown at his head.
“Congrats your guys” Bride says as she reaches for the bacon and pasties.
“Thank you Bride” Athena says as she takes a seat at the table.
“ Thank you for what?” Athan mutters as he continues to look back and forth
“This is amazing, I am sure that you are extremely happy. Let me know if you need anything” Hekate says with a smile.
“What? What is happening?” Athan yells.
“You are going…..” Athena starts but stops as everyone in the room stops talking.
The whispers start and room grows in volume. Whilst everyone at the kings table turn their heads and there slowly walking with the help of Phoebe comes towards their table. The smiles drop off their faces as Shakti takes her seat beside Archon.
“Morning” Shakti says shyly as she looks around the table.
“I will leave you here” Phoebe says as she goes to walk away Shakti grabs her arm and asks her to take a seat.
“That’s ok right?” Shakti says to Archon as Phoebe sits in between Erebus and Helios.
Helios feeling uncomfortable moves himself and Athena to the other side of Lycus. Phoebe glares as they sit further away
“Its fine” Archon says while looking at Phoebe and Helios with a worried look.
“What’s the news?” Athan blurts while looking at Athena and Helios. “Are you pregnant?” Athan says jokingly.
As the others laugh, Hekate, Bride, Aibelle, Athena and Helios look at Athan with their mouths open.
“Way to ruin the new idiot” Bride mutters as she smacks Athan on the back of the head.
“What?” Athan says as he continues to look back and forth.
“Are you?” Archon asks with a large smile.
