Chapter 146


    Fuming with hatred, I pace back and forth while thinking of ways to destroy Mysteria. Finally, Ie to


    a halt and smile as the answeres to mind. Thypon, the God of ferocious monsters. He has the


    head of a dragon, a bat’s wings and a serpent’s body. Once a God amongst the other deities in the


    Celestial Realm, Thypon wreaked death and destruction across many worlds. To end Typhon’s terrible


    ways, the deities and I trapped him beneath a volcano for all eternity,pelling the volcano never to


    erupt since that was the only way Thypon could be released.


    I immediately travel to the world of ash andva where Thypon has been sealed. Approaching the


    volcano, I raise my hands high and begin the chant. The seal dissipates, and the volcano erupts. An


    explosion of ash rises into to air, whilstva flows out from the crater. A boisterous roar emits through


    the cloud of ash. Enormous wings p and push the ash away. Thypon, now silent, gazes at me. I


    smirk and cross my arms.


    ‘Finally, after thousands of years, I am free,’ Thypon roars, ‘But of what purpose did you free me?’ He


    asks in a deep gruff voice that vibrates through thend.


    ‘I want the deities to suffer, all of them, including my sister Selene. I’m sure it’s on your agenda


    anyway?’ I say.


    ‘Go on,’ he says, giving me his attention.


    ‘In your absence, a new world has been made, which they named Mysteria. Selene, Ogrun and many


    others have created life forms in their image and gifted them with some of their abilities. They have


    grown a great love for the world and its people. Destroying Mysteria would destroy them. I want to see


    them all suffer. The midsummer solstice is near, and it would be the perfect time to strike,


    | purposely leave the detail out that the only way in and out for a deity is during the solstice. Once he


    enters, he will be trapped there until the next solstice or longer if he doesn’t figure that out.


    ‘I suppose I can start with their precious world of Mysteria before finishing the destruction of the other


    worlds I was pursuing before being sealed under this wretched volcano.


    ‘I will ce a temporary spell over you, so the other deities can’t trace your whereabouts. It will only


    Thypon nods, and I begin a chant. A blue iridescent sphere encircles Thypon and then vanishes.


    ‘There, it is done.


    I will return when it is time,’ I say. Thypon nods, and I return to my Realm and await my revenge.


    The Moon Goddess


    ‘We sealed Thypon with an unbreakable spell, I don’t understand how he broke free?’


    ‘Selene, we have to find him and seal him back before it’s toote,


    ‘I know that Valkrim, but even you haven’t been able to trace him yet,’ I say.


    ‘We must let all the deities know that Thypon has somehow been released. As soon as anyone knows


    his whereabouts, we are to immediately gather and work together to seal him again, just likest time,


    ‘Selene,’ Ogrum interrupts, ‘I understand finding Thypon is of utmost importance, but we need to find


    out how he became free? There isn’t much point to sealing him only for him to be freed again,

    ‘Ogrum has a point, Cerridwen says in agreeance.


    The only way he could have been freed is if the spell used to seal the volcano had been removed,’ I


    say.


    Cerridwen stiffens, and her eyes grow wide.


    What is it, Cerridwen?’ | ask.


    Anta is the one who ced the spell. You don’t think she is the one who removed it?’


    We all stare at each other in thought.


    ‘It’s possible, Ogrum replies.


    ‘I know we haven’t seen Anta in over a thousand years, but she wouldn’t do this, would she? As far


    as I’m aware, she is still locked inside the dark crystal realm. If she hade out, someone would


    have known about it and would have told me straight away,


    Valkrim ces his hand on my shoulder,


    “But what if it was her? The question is, why? What is her intention? Does she want Thypon to continue


    with his ambition, destroying the innocent lives of the weaker species?’


    ‘I can’t imagine that Anta would resent us so much to the point of releasing Thypon. If only she knew


    the love we have for her,’ I say, shedding the sparkling tear that runs down my cheek, ‘Mysteria is the


    only world protected by a veil. If we can’t find his location, we will need to split up and monitor the


    different worlds that carry life forms and wait for his wrath to begin. Once we know his location, we will


    continue with the n to gather and seal him again. In the meantime, I’m going to go to Anta’s


    Realm and see if she is there.’


    The Deities nod in agreement. I take my leave and go straight to the dark crystal realm. The dark


    crystal dome still covers the domain. I cannot see through it. I knock many times but receive no


    response. But even if Anta is still in there, she would probably not answer. Letting out a heavy sigh, I


    peer around at the other realms and decide to question them.


    So far, everyone ims they haven’t seen Anta leave her Realm, but a few say that they haven’t


    seen Aria in a while, which is very unusual.


    My next stop is to visit Aria’s Realm, which is opposite Anta’s,


    Aria’s Realm is a blue sphere of wind that sits on a ground made of clouds. I enter the globe to see


    small whirlwinds of


    . It’s raining white feathers. I raise my hand, take one, and caress it across my cheek. Iugh from the


    tickle’s soft feel, release the feather back into the air, and watch it float away. Then, approaching the


    stairs made from clouds, I look around for any sign of Aria. Once I reach the top, I knock many times,


    and the door opens on its own.


    ‘Aria?’ I say, poking my head in, and receive no reply. Worried, I enter and search every room of her


    home. There is no sign of her; it appears she hasn’t been here for days. A bad feeling consumes me.


    ‘Something is not right. Aria informs everyone of everything and visits many deities each day. She is


    probably the biggest social butterfly amongst us. It’s not like her to vanish without saying anything.’ I


    wander outside her home and through her garden onest time ande to a halt when I see an


    imprint in the shape of a circle on the ground with ck crystal. I kneel and touch the mark,


    immediately sensing Anta’s power.


    ‘Anta, my sister, what have you done?’ I say and return to my kingdom without stopping.


    I enter my hall, walk across the moon’s mosaic tiles, and take my seat in the moon chair. My friends


    can sense I’m distraught as I stare nkly down at the table in thought, wondering what she has done


    to Aria and confirming the suspicions she is behind Typhon’s release.


    Valkrim, Cerridwen, and Ogrum take their seats silently and wait patiently for me to talk.


    ‘As I expected, Anta either ignored me waiting in her Realm, or she isn’t there. After asking the


    neighbouring realms if anyone had seen Anta, they said they hadn’t but found it strange that they


    hadn’t seen Aria for a few days. They said she had visited them every day for thousands of years, so to


    vanish without a word has them worried. So, I went straight to Aria’s, there was no sign of her, but I


    found a sign that Anta had been there, Everyone gasps and gazes around with worry, ‘There were


    remnants of her magic, and Aria is now missing,


    ‘Why would she use her magic against Aria, though?’ Cerridwen asks.


    ‘The only logical theory I can think of is because Aria is the only one who knows Anta is out. If she


    had released Thypon, she might not yet want everyone to know. Which means silencing anyone


    witnesses that know she has left her domain.’ I say


    ‘This is not good, not good at all,’ Ogrum says in a glum tone.
