Chapter 564: The deal.

Chapter 564: The deal.

Two of the fates vanished away and only one remained, the middle one. She teleported down and approached Lythia so that they could have the rest of the candid conversation in simple words.

"It cannot be changed, Shadow. Return to your world and accept the way things will be."

For a few more seconds, Lythia just stared at the goddess of fate as she imagined the kind of fury their brother, the god of death was going to experience. Everything that was coming to light lately was just driving him to the brink of raging.

When he raged, humans died, and that was never a good thing. Fate was determined to have the child, but death would not let it be. It would be a slap to his face, an insult if ever there was any. His possessiveness would not allow him to see a child of the dark anywhere else.

Lythia was therefor driven to find a plan B.

"The child will have a home in the underworld. If I give you my word that we will love, cherish and accept her no matter the differences between her and other reapers, will you give her up?" Lythia responded.

"No," Fate responded.

She did not even take a moment to consider it.

"I thought as much." Lythia mumbled.

"Death will not find it easy to accept a child that is part life. Life on the other hand will be eager to get his hands on that child just to infuriate death. In a way, my claim on the child saves her from being caught between two jealous gods." Fate told her.

Lythia sighed and longed for a jar of wine. Nothing about Scarlet, Nyx, Esong or the children’s situation was easy. Everything was complicated.

"Does Nyx know?" she asked Fate.

Fate nodded. Nyx had visited her realm constantly to try and change her mind but it was all in vain.

"The son of death has tried to stop us as well but he cannot. We made a deal that I would protect his soul and find a way for him to resolve the issue of the reapers. In exchange, I could take anything from him as I pleased. The child is what I have chosen, just one by the way.

I could have been greedy and claimed them all but I didn’t. Doesn’t that speak to my generosity and fairness?

I did everything that I promised to do. The son of death must fulfill his own side of our agreement or the consequences will be dire for him and the children. I will be merciless if he attempts to break it."

The deal had been made with Nyx and not Scarlet. knowing how stubborn could be, Lythia did not think for a single second that the female reaper would obediently hand over her child to be raised in the realm of fate.

Lythia was a deity and she never felt cold. Silly things like the weather did not affect her. However, in that moment, she felt a chill that was associated with wind. It made her rub her arms and even feel feverish.

The goddess of fate touched Lythia’s arm and said softly, "I will stand you when Apo comes for the child and Nyx. Fate will stand with the underworld. Rather than see my claim as a thing to be hated, you should see it as a blessing. You have me as an ally and none of our sisters or brothers wants to contend with me. I can either be with you or against you. Return to your realm Shadow and give that message to death."

She teleported away and Lythia did the same. The message had to delivered and then decisions had to be made.

Back in the human world, Scarlet was teaching Carolyn how to shoot while riding a horse. It was a great way to work out some of the stress she had.

Carolyn was screaming loudly. She was like a woman whose burdens had had been released.

In a deep voice she kept shouting pull over and over and shot up a bunch of clay targets which Scarlet had found in her storage space.

To challenge herself, Carolyn was riding at a fast pace while shooting.

Scarlet on the other hand was sitting on a horse that was trotting around slowly, moving at a relaxed pace. The thought currently running through her mind was that she would need to build a castle in the capital soon.

If Carolyn enjoyed this kind of spot then a horse racing track would be included. It would certainly be a great way to earn money from the nobles in the capital.

"Sister I am here,"

A very happy banshee floated above Scarlet and announced her presence.

"Sister, did you miss me?"

"You are as noisy as ever." Scarlet told her.

"Sister, I found another banshee like me on your world. She was just passing through and heading to the East. I asked her if she wanted to work for you. I cannot be everywhere all at once. She said she would think about it because she thrives best as a freelancer." The banshee sighed. "She is missing out on getting a great job."

"You found one so I am sure you will find another. Tell me, have you found out what Ramslin is up to?"

The banshee floated down and sat down on the head of the horse which Scarlet was riding. It was a good thing that she weighed the same as wind otherwise the horse would collapse.

She played with her hair as she told Scarlet, "That sneaky male reaper invited his friends over. I heard one of them saying bad things about you sister. He said he should have taught you a lesson when you were still weak. I think his name is urine."

"Urine?" Scarlet questioned her.

"Ulysses." The banshee corrected herself.

Scarlet recalled the grim reaper that attacked her when she was a newbie in the underworld. She had not thought about that idiot in such a longtime.

What had brought him to her world?

"What else?" she asked the banshee.

"Urine said that they would be paid really well for keeping an eye on you."

"Huh!" Scarlet responded.
