"Oh Ernestine, what a pleasure. It's not everyday the lovely Goddess of Chaos pays a visit. As for your question, shouldn't that be obvious? Brontes is why I am here. As why we are all here I suppose."
The god's voice was laced with sarcasm, and the goddess' lips curled up to a wry smile. His attention swayed away from her for a moment before his gaze landed back on her, "Now, why are you here then? Surely to cause some chaos no doubt." Ernestine felt the presence of two other gods approaching, but without turning her back, she spoke, "
My, don't be so cold," she giggled, her eyes never leaving his. "
There is no such need for negative feelings." The goddess spoke in a gentle voice, but there was an ominous look in her eyes. Her intent gaze could send a mortal man to his knees. "
Afterall, I supported you in the shadows during the pantheon wars. It pleasured me to cause misery to your enemies." she purred, her eyes full of mischief.
The goddess of chaos was always present in every war. She watched in the shadows, but never showed herself. She reveled in the screams of misery and the desperate cries for help. She loved to watch the look in the eyes of the warriors as their courage and determination turned into despair and hopelessness. The goddess brought them more misery and pain, playing with their heads and weakening their resolve.
Ernestine smiled at the memory before turning around to acknowledge the presence of the other gods who were approaching. "
Now, what do we have here? What a lovely reunion." She smiled, revealing her perfect white teeth. She looked back at Amos, "
God of Valor," then proceeded to look at the young man, "
God of Play. And.." Her voice trailed off as her gaze slowly landed on the girl.
The goddess curiously gazed at her up and down, and a smirk slowly made it's way to her lips. "
Darkness." The word rolled off her tongue as she looked at her in amusement. She gave her a knowing look, her eyes looking as if they held a secret that would never be uttered. Ernestine could feel the forces of darkness resonating in the air, reacting to the chaotic forces that surrounded her. There was an attraction. Curiosity. They were compelled to come closer.
Ernestine knew the goddess could feel that too.. if she wasn't so intoxicated. She grimaced as she caught a hint of alcohol in the air. Though she had similar drinking habits, the smell of alcohol was something she could never get used to. "
Well, it's been lovely to meet you all, but play time is over," she announced as she clapped her hands nonchalantly, not giving the gods any time to respond to her. With that said, she started to walk away, leaving the three behind.
After a few steps away, Ernestine paused. Without turning around to face them, she spoke, "
Amos, I would like you to give up on your pursuit of my brother," she said in a low menacing voice. "
If anyone were allowed to kill him.." she paused, "
That would be me." Her voice sounded dangerous, and her face held a cold bitter expression.
Ernestine could sense Amos' dislike toward her, and being told what to do would only encourage him to pursue Brontes even more. And that's exactly what she wanted. She wanted chaos. But unlike the other gods, she wasn't interested in revenge. She never cared about the heavens. On the other hand, watching the gods suffer from being locked out amused her.
Ernestine never sided with anyone but herself. She had always been that one goddess who stood by as she watched things play out, only involving herself when she sees an opportunity or when she feels like it. This time around, she wanted nothing more than to see how the gods would exact their revenge. She wanted to see Brontes' next move. He didn't just disappear for thousands of years for nothing. She knew he was up to something.
She turned around and flashed him a sweet, innocent smile -- filled with sarcasm. "
Well, i'm off. Till our paths cross again." She gave one last look at the two other gods before turning back and walking away.
