?283 wrong wrong wrong work
Sorry everyone.
This was originally a chapter when I uploaded my second novel's chapter here once by mistake. The initial posting of this chapter occurred via Ñøv€l-B!n.
I didn't see it for that time, and then it slipped my mind. Since WN doesn't allow removing chaps, and I already had next chaps posted, I only have one option, that is to either leave it or edit it with something else.
And since next chaps r posted in continuation, I'll just write some flashback scenes of Rio for you guys.
Sorry and Love

5 years back
13 year old Rio was standing on an empty street looking at the dialapited temple in front of him. It was an empty shell of a building with moss covered walls supported by broken pillars. Empty windows and a door less entrance welcomed anyone who stepped over the boundary of the temple.
Over the top of these walls was the mural carved on stone of a rising sun, spreading rays of light which pushed the clouds away.
Rio shook his head in disappointment and walked inside the temple with clear steps. A platoon of guards and shadows stayed few steps behind, ensuring his safety and awaiting his further orders.
"In every harmony, in every light, I am present."
"In the echoes of his lyre, find the harmony of your soul."
"When the world weeps in its darkest plight,
Those were already thrown outside.
"This is the first time I'm actually inside one of your temples. I've always wanted to come here though. But mother wouldn't even let me out of the house with what happened last time.
I wanted to say thank you for saving me when I was cursed some years ago. I just came here after destroying the last temple of the fallen God who cursed me.
If not for your grace and your follower's help, maybe I wouldn't be here. So thank you for giving me this life. I'll remember it till the day I die."
Rio finished his words and stood up back again. He turned around and left the temple.
In the place where he was sitting though, was a silver coin placed there with the mark of a moon and a river carved onto it.
Rio walked out of that temple and left without turning back. He looked at a corner where all the broken stuff from the church was placed and shook his head. "Burn them, and put some new chairs and tables inside."
After saying that, he sat inside the car and left. Looking back through the glass mirror, he saw the pile of trash from the temple rising in smoke and even before his car turned, he noticed there was no sign of anything left behind.
'High rankers, so efficient.' Rio praised the shadow guards and closed his eyes.
'How would you feel if you knew the thing you were looking everywhere for, was just buried in your temple and burned in front of you, Apollo.'
'And that too was just in return for some simple tables and chairs.'
Rio thought in his heart as he remembered the plotline of the treasure map he just burned, and couldn't help but smile.
While Rio was lost in his thoughts, in Apollo's church, the coin he left behind shone in a white glow and then lost its luster and the mark of moon.
It just turned into scrap round regular metal and then withered in air.
If Rio saw this scene, he'd smile some more in his heart. As it meant, the bait he threw out, someone already took it.
And now he just needed to wait to see the results of his experiment.
Experiment number 9 - Would gods interfere if their followers and believers were to fight amongst themselves on their name? Would they ignore it like usual, or would they sit, talk and sort things out.
