Patron of Corus
Lady Mage
Chapter Seven: The Wish
King Jonathan was sitting in the council room with his head in his hands. There had just been a meeting with the Carthaki ambassadors he could tell already; today was going to be a long day. Jonathan sat there a while longer and then he heard what sounded like a number of people running towards the room but it was coming from all different directions. For a second Jonathan thought he was hallucinating due to stress but then three people burst into the room panting. Then all at once they said,
"Daine."
Then it was a mixture of rambling that you couldn't hear because it was all said at once. Then they seemed to notice that there was more then one person in the room and they stopped talking. Then Jonathan seemed to let the words sink in.
"Wait, what about Daine?" He asked.
Then he began to recognize them. It was Numair, Evin Larse and Ouna.
Meanwhile....
Daine couldn't take it anymore. She couldn't stand being away from the people she loved. Daine loved being a goddess and she wanted to be with her ma and all the other gods and goddesses but she also wanted to be a mortal. She really wanted to have both, Goddess and mortal but she knew that was something she would never have. She almost wished she could be someone else entirely, not a goddess, not Daine, not even someone that would know Numair. What Daine didn't notice was that she was saying this aloud and someone with cruel intensions had heard her wish.
"Did you find anything out that will help us get ride of that annoying brat!" A lady with dark midnight hair barked. She could have been beautiful even more then Thayet, the peerless herself. She had long dark hair with a tall thin figure and flawless skin, but there was a cold air around her. Almost like an evil essence. Just by looking at her you could tell she did not mean you well. Then there were her eyes, a cold gray pair of eyes that could cause you to shiver in fear just by looking into them. There were no lines of mirth on her face just a stony set expression.
"Yes my lady, I have found some very valuable information." A thin short man hissed.
"The girl wishes to be someone else, an easy wish to grant by someone of your power don't you think even if you are in this wretched prison."
"Ah yes this prison, I will be here till the next star is born but not to worry, I am coming up with a plan at the moment. But that is not our aim at the moment. For now we have to get rid of that wretched girl. You say she wishes to be someone else, perfect, I know just how we can get her out of the way."
"You mean to tell me you saw Daine today all three of you! Not only that but you're telling me that she has become a goddess not just any goddess but the Patron goddess of Corus!" King Jonathan exclaimed. He was usually a very calm and poised person but the recent turn of events had taken quite a toll on him.
"Yes, that is exactly what we are saying." Numair replied. His face had regained a lot of its normal color and he looked much better now.
"Well, what do you want me to do about it, there is nothing I can do." Was all Jonathan said.
Numair just stood there speechless. "We must do something! We can't just sit here!"
"What do you propose we do? Daine chose to be a goddess of her own will, they are not holding her captive there isn't a thing we can do."
"We can. charge. or attack. we must get her back Jon! We must do something, we can't just sit here!" Numair sputtered.
"But just sit here we must." Was all Jon said and then he left leaving two confused people and one heartbroken man.
