143 C142 Dark Days

Confused and somewhat shocked that the woman was up at this height. He slowly stood as he turned to Ameria who moved closer and smiled at the man. His eyes were looking her over before he just sat back down next to his daughter who had yet to open her eyes.

"Is she sleeping?"

The question getting asked by Ameria as Nathan looked over at her with a slight smile as he shook. Letting out a small yawn as he stretched his hands before laying on his back.

"No, when one is reborn as a God. It takes time for the soul to enter into the body. This body is still new, and it will take her time to pull herself into the body. It's like putting on clothes I guess."

His explanation not entirely true but the best way to describe something to a person who could never truly grasp the state of how Godly souls worked in the world.

Nathan taking time to rest on the ground as the lovely spring day in the Vortex was still extremely hot and beautiful with light wind caressing the top of the cliff.

"May I ask Ameria how it went. I'm sure you went with Auryn to the underground city to work a trade deal out with them?"

His words catching the woman somewhat off guard as she just smiled and waved her hands in a slight panic. Her laugh contagious, coming out as she moved down next to Nathan. Eyes were looking towards the man as she let out a sigh herself.

"Let's not talk about work. A daughter was just reborn, and I bet you must be exhausted. Wait does that make you the mother and father?"

Her smug smile was continuing as Nathan rolled his eyes at the thought of him being a mother and father. His title was the All-Father, but the reality was never that simple.

"I'm not a woman, and I don't give birth. I create which is a difference to a woman who pains herself while pushing out a child when all I do is wield my power to make my imagination come true."

Nathan finished his words as he looked to the woman who had gotten closer to him. Surprised at the boldness of Ameria as she looked at him with a similar grin to her lips.

"You created so many people. It surprises me each day that you came down to help people. I guess we are so lucky to have you?"

Her words hitting Nathan as he had not chosen to come here but rather forced by his oldest daughter. It was clear that she had done so to teach him a lesson and show him the value of being around and guiding people. Though he was sure, he had gotten guided himself.

"I'm a lucky man indeed. I have many people to thank and at the end of everything I want my family back together. I have much time to repent."

His words were pulling a smile to his face as he relaxed to the ground, next to him Ameria just burst out laughing. It was not the sweet and kind laughter but one mixed with some disgust and a tinge of displeasure.

"Ameria?"

His words were caught in his mouth as he was confused at the strange behaviour of the woman. Somewhat unsure as to why she laughed in such a way to the question.

"Sorry, please ignore that. Let's go onto a different topic?"

Still feeling rather curious he looked to the woman before just nodding his head. Curious as to why she laughed in such a way but putting it behind him as he looked over the city below.

"What do you wish to talk about?" He lightly responded.

"Let's talk about how Senoa went. How did everything progress and how did you manage to turn that Angel?"

Her words light and kind again as he looked to the woman with a small smile, his mouth starting to move as he formed the answer but his mind stopping as Nathan quickly concluded as he felt some fear flowing through him.

"Wait. How do you know about Annie? You never went to Senoa."

His body was shifting as he pulled himself up into a sitting position, turning his body to the woman as things were not starting to add up. The woman was acting strange and getting this close to him and asking weird questions.

"Who..."

His words were dying as he looked at the woman who was sitting next to him, pain shooting through his body as it felt like fire was raging through him. His body was tearing itself apart from the inside as he could no longer breath.

Looking at Ameria as her arm extended out to him. She was gripping a dark golden blade with ancient runes and gems studded into it. The edge was emitting a horrible divine power that seemed to devour everything close to it.

The blade buried in Nathan's chest. Energy leaking out as the edge devoured it all. The life force already weakened now getting taken by this monster like blade.

"Oh, you almost caught on. Little too late though."

Her giggle was coming out again with a sickly sweet tinge to it. Her face morphing as it looked like something crawled under her skin. Nathan's eyes were darkening as he concluded.

"You are not Ameria."

His words hollow as he could barely keep his eyes open. His powers were unusable as any power he tried to summon got merely sucked up into this nasty blade. His body was rapidly fading as he did not know what to do.

"Oh, I've waited for this face for so long. I will become and gain everything you have. I will stand at the top while I cast you aside!"

Her fingers were pressing the dagger further into his body as her tongue licked her lips with a degree of lust and deformed pleasure. Her scream was shouting to the world her twisted desires.

"Now do me a favour father..."

"Just Die!"

Her words pausing as she moved closer to his face as she licked her lips again, eyes staring deep into his eyes.

Pressing the blade into the hilt as she laughed.

"I will become this worlds newest Arch God!"
