Lord Shadow

1846  Elder Gods of Olympus

Hera has many feelings inside her right now

The thank you message...that is his last words five thousand years ago. And hearing that thank you again…..it feels somewhat painful

Even after thousands of years….the spell doesn't lift.

That bittersweet feeling…..could never be erased. One of the strongest spell of all, a spell that is hard to fathom for even a deity, the spell of love.

They meet each other as enemies, one in Olympus, another in Asgard….enemies turns to something else

Five thousand years ago….he held out his hand and offer her a different kind of life. But she…..she could not take that one step.

When she is with him, she smiles. And when they say goodbye, she could no longer smiles.

Hera the Queen of Olympus fallen in love with the notorious Cosmic Trickster

"The Trickster once foreseen this. He came to me and save me from the Eternal Darkness."

"I never knew why he was at Eternal Horizon at that time. Thinking about bit now, he must have calculated my predicament and came to save me. To save me…..to save you"

"I owe him a life. And that is the kind of cause and effect that I don't want to be owing the Cosmic Trickster"

"I ask him what is the Price"

The Price that one day when Hera life is at my hands, when the time comes for your life to be reaped by my hands, I would show mercy"

"At that time, I did not know how he knew what will happen today. I guess he sees more than people think he sees. He seems to predict what will happen today"

Hathor then no longer said anything about Loki of Asgard. Did she not want to kill Hera right now and widen the advantage? She did want to do it

But she could already feel the binding pressure of the Price on her. Her hands feel heavy each time she wanted to end Hera. With her power, she could defy the pressure and kill Hera

But what she will face after doing this would be the backlash of that price. And Loki the Cosmic Trickster is not someone that you trick

Nobody escape from his Price.

She paused for a second and then said

"Today, the cause and effect between me and the Gardener is resolved. Go back to your planet, and wait for the battle to end. Whatever the outcome, whether your husband could drive back Ra or defeated by Ra, I swear by the Oath of the Taboo Beings, that I would not kill you"

BOOOM!

A sound of thunder echoes that could only be heard by these two beings. An oath has been muttered and the oath has been recognized by that taboo force

Then Hathor simply leave Hera there and Hera is still there like she is digesting Hathor words

Hera look at Olympus and see that Zeus is still fighting Ra.

But she could no longer interfere

The battle in Olympus right now is tilting toward the Eternal Horizon and the Qarthan.

Qayali after seeing Ra fighting toe to toe with Zeus, change his target to help the Eternal horizon pantheon defeating the Olympians.

Not only in the celestial realm and the Olympians are attacked, even the mortal worlds of the Olympian Star System is now being attacked fully

This is unlike the common war on Earth where one fight for one territory one by one and then conquer it.

This kind of war could last decades. Hundreds and even thousands of years.

Not to mention the time difference between the celestial realm and the mortal realm, the fact is that there is many planets in the Olympian Star system just like there is as many star as the Milky Way galaxy.

And Olympus even controlled the stars and planet in their mega clusters

The Laniakea Supercluster is the galaxy supercluster which the Milky Way resides in. But Earth did not control or even set foot in the many stars and planets that exist in their galaxy supercluster

But it is different for Eternal Horizon and Olympus.

They mastered interstellar travel and world acclimatization process and send people to inhabit these upper clusters, and they have many planets

And each planet sometimes differ wildly from the others.

Some still lives in the medieval era, while some have reached super technology civilization and some are just beginning life in the Bronze age.

It is no wonder that sometime a war between these intergalactic civilizations could last hundreds and even thousands of years.

Qarthan is now supplying reinforcement to Qayali and the Six Kings of the other kingdoms of the Qarthan had also appears in the battlefield.

They wanted to conquer the home world of Olympus galaxy before moving to take the other region of the galaxy of Olympus.

As long as they could take Olympus in first strike, the advantage would be theirs.

But while the fate of Olympus hands in the balance, both sides are wondering the same thing.

Where is Poseidon? Where is Hades?

…

There is a reason for these question. It is a question thought of by all three of the forces that is fighting right now

Olympus, Eternal Horizon and Qarthan are all thinking of the same thing

Where is these two?

These two Elder Gods has power that equal if not surpassed Zeus.

Poseidon would need someone at the same realm as Ra or three of four level of Osiris and Horus just to keep him occupied.

If Poseidon and Hades are here, how could the advantage so clearly tilted toward the Eternal Horizon right now?

And there is also Hephaestus.

This Olympian rarely make a splash but once he is determined to do it, he just shows his strength to all of Olympus and Eternal Horizon

Ptah came and Ptah return defeated.

Yes, it was just an incarnation of an Aspect but that alone shows that Hephaestus is stronger than even some of the other Olympians like Ares

Instead, he returns back to his forge and seemingly relaxing, watching the war like it is some kind of personal entertainment for him

There is another Elder Gods that did not show itself.

Hestia is nowhere to be found.

The Goddess of the hearth, sharing the same aspect of Hephaestus, the aspect of fire, she is the goddess of family, the first child of Chronos and Rhea, the elder sister of Hades, Demeter, Poseidon, and Zeus

She is also nowhere to be found. She did not join the battle and did not even show her face even as her home is being besieged.

Not many knows her power but since she is an Elder God, she must have some power. Even if she did not have any power, if she is here she would raise the morale.

Even Ra is surprised that Hades and Poseidon did not come out even after Aphrodite is being killed, Apolo and Artemis defeated and most of the Olympians struggling to regain ground

Zeus is probably the one that is fuming the most right now. Apollo and Artemis is defeated and the one that is not defeated did not even care about him and instead he is doing nothing in his forge.

But the reason he is most angry right now, is where is his two brothers? Why are they not helping him at this perilous moment for Olympus?

…..

Poseidon is not in Olympus

Instead, he is in the Underworld. He look at what is happening in Olympus through the Mirror Of Narcisus

This mirror could see everything that happens in the Olympus galaxy and even all the supercluster around them.

Of course, there is some prerequisite of using this mirror. And Poseidon surely fulfilled that prerequisite. If not how could he uses it.

Hades crafted the mirror from Narcisus soul. Maybe it is a punishment.

Or maybe it is a chance to Narcissus to do some good deeds and be rewarded by the God of Death one day.

He click his tongue.

Poseidon is wearing his battle armour. He stands tall and imposing, his muscular frame honed to perfection that is only become more accentuated with the armour.

His face is like always had that charm of rugged handsomeness, high cheekbones, a straight nose, a strong square jaw. But it was his eyes that always charms the living beings.

Mesmerizing, deep, piercing blue, like the heart of the ocean.

Sometimes these eyes of his could calm many beings.

At times, it could disturb people heart when it is filled with untamed fury.

Poseidon hair is long and wild, cascading in waves of deep black streaked with strands of seafoam white, as though it embodies the ocean itself.

It moves gently, as if caught in a perpetual underwater current.

His beard, thick and majestic, mirrors his hair, giving him a commanding presence.

His voice is a resonant baritone, echoing with the power of crashing waves and distant thunder.

Each word carries the weight of authority, capable of calming storms or summoning them.

His movements are deliberate and graceful, like the ebb and flow of tides, but they can turn swift and forceful like a crashing wave in battle.

Poseidon often smells faintly of salt and fresh sea air even when he is now in the Underworld. The God of the Sea maintains his dignity no matter the realm he goes in.

He wears a battle armour but there is no trident. He wears a battle armour and should be ready to fight

But the battle in Olympus is now reaching a fever pitch. But he is still here. Not fighting. Not ready to fight.

Or maybe…..he does not desire to fight?
