---- They remained silent for a few seconds, but no words were needed between them. "Has she been well? I''ve seen the wonders you two have forged through these eons," Khalum asked, watching him stir the embers, then added: "I''m d you''ve learned to take better care of your creations, Beast God." "I didn''t manage to care very well for the most precious one..." Lykahel snorted with a faintly sad tone. "And yes, Selene is fine, always creating chaos, as you''ve seen..." "But you like her chaos...
and I admit, so do I," Khalum grinned. "I cherish the elemental soul they created for me, it''s noble and sincere. And also... the incredible mate the Moon gave me." He lifted his muzzle to look him in the eyes, knowing this moment wouldn''tst forever. That the Beast God had risked conjuring this illusion just to see him was already a great honor and a risk. "I''m d you''ve enjoyed your mortal adventures. It took Selene and me a long time to restore your divine energy and then...
that damned son of the Goddess tried to im what wasn''t his..." ---- Lykahel bared his fangs at the memory of that cowardly, thieving lycan, not to mention the damn witch. Every time he saw his own form projected onto that fool, it filled him with rage! He had nearly lost his temper witnessing it all from above. It was nearly impossible to descend, and worse with the fear of being punished again for rebellion.
"I swear I was about to let the beasts tear them all apart, but Selene told me to leave it to destiny... to let you make your own choices... I think she was just protecting her wretched sons!" "I''m d you listened to her," Khalum snorted with amusement, seeing the Beast God already fuming in bad temper. That temper was what had gotten him in trouble in the first ce and had drawn the hatred and jealousy of the other Gods.
"Many alliances and unions were created thanks to the search for my power. Mortals aren''t that weak, Lykahel. Besides, it''s been exciting." Once again silence fell between them as they stared at one another. The fire was dying slowly, and outside the stars began to dance like tiny glowing points. ---- The Beast God looked toward the outside. It was time to see if he had won or lost this bet with Selene.
"I came to keep my word, Khalum, the one I gave you and never forgot," Lykahel rose to his feet, his stature growing like a shadow that reached the cave''s ceiling. "For an immortal, time is irrelevant. The time hase for you to return and reim all that belongs to yor already have the divine energy needed to ascend." . forever. You Khalum tensed. He had sensed it, but hadn''t known it would be real.
"What will happen to what has been given to me here?" he asked, standing cautiously as well. "They''ll forget you. He''ll find another wolf spirit, and the female... she''ll get another mate..." "NO!" Khalum suddenly roared, shaking the mountain. "I will not leave my mate behind!" He said it with conviction carved deep in his soul. "She cannot follow you, it doesn''t work that way, you know that well..." the Beast God sighed, seeming once more to lose against Selene.<style>
