Life vs Death

The kingdoms all declared at the same time that there signing a treaty with the demon continent... And of course the public was confused...

On one hand... They didn't want to start a war.. And on the other hand they didn't trust demons..

And of course someone was angry..

Alein: "WHAT THE & #&#&$ IS WRONG WITH THEM?!!"

She was pissed when she learned that the human king sent ambassadors to the conference without telling her, and when she and the head priest tried to convince him with the need to declare war, that was his reply:

Shine: " Alright.. If you want to declare a war do as you please..."

Head priest : "good"

Shine: "but you'll have to do it with the temple alone, the kingdom won't be a part of it"

Head priest: " WHAT, BUT THE TEMPLE IS PART OF THE KINGDOM"

Shine: "no it's not, besides this kingdom the temple exists in other kingdoms as well, you don't belong to a single kingdom, wanting us to declare war on your behalf would be the same as saying as our kingdom is one with the temple, and that might offend other kingdoms as a declaration that they all are under our rule..

Have a fun war... "

Head priest: "....."

THAT MORON, AT THIS POINT WITH THAT SORRY EXCUSE HE'S OBVIOUSLY TRYING TO GET RID OF THE TEMPLE, AND IF THEY ATTACK HE'LL SIDE WITH THE DEMON KING AND SAY THAT THE TEMPLE BROKE THE TREATY, AND IF THAT HAPPENS I WON'T BE ABLE TO TAKE THE TEMPLE'S SIDE OR I'LL SEEM UNJUST...

AND MEANWHILE THE OTHER GODS ARE ACTING LIKE IT'S NONE OF THERE BUSINESSES WHAT'S WRONG WITH THEM... AT THIS POINT I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE...

Alein: "ERESH"

Eresh: "hey Alein *munch* *munch* you don't usually come to visit, why are you in the underworld?"

Alein: " we have a huge problem"

Eresh: " *munch* *munch*"

Alein: "the Demon Lord that I thought I killed, is alive and made a kingdom"

Eresh: " *munch* *munch*"

Alein: "he's trying to trick the kingdoms with some treaty..."

Eresh: " *munch* *munch*"

Alein: "I need your help to stop him.. I'll lead him here with a trick, then you can...

What are you eating?"

Eresh: " *munch* *munch* chicken Skewers"

Alein: " where did you get them?"

Eresh doesn't leave here much.. And unlike some airheaded god, she doesn't pick up food every week.

Eresh: "a gift from my followers and temple maidens "

Alein: "YOU HAVE FOLLOWERS!!! THAT'S FANTASTIC!!!"

finally some good news, ever since that kingdom fell no one worshipped Eresh, if she managed to get some followers and some shrine maidens then she can have some help with her job..

Alein: " where are they?"

Eresh's maidens have a special permission to be allowed to stay at the underworld to help with her job.

Eresh: "over there"

Eresh points to a group of young beautiful women who were cleaning up a shrine.. Alein didn't notice them when she got her, because of her anger.

Alein: " oh... I've been acting very ungodly while people are watching, hi there I'm....

Eresh?"

Eresh: " *munch* *munch* yes Alein?"

Alein: "why do they have red eyes...."

Eresh: " *munch* *munch* why wouldn't they have red eyes?"

Alein: " EREEEEESHHH!!!"

Eresh: "hehe alright yes their Demons"

Alein: "WHAT ARE DEMONS DOING HERE?!!"

Eresh: "their my temple maidens"

Alein: "AND FROM WHERE DID THEY COME FROM"

Eresh: " oh.. I know a guy Sapphire, he made them for me *munch* *munch*"

Alein: "...."

Eresh: " *munch* *munch* want some?"

Alein: "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND, SINCE WHEN DO WE ACCEPT DEMONS AS FOLLOWERS?!"

Eresh: "according to our rules, we can accept all worshipers from any race"

Alein: "since when did this happen?"

Eresh: "about half a year, a friend of mine came and asked me if I'd like a Temple in his kingdom, so I said yes, at first I didn't think much people will follow me, but apparently demons are attracted to power, and think that the power of death is absolute, hehe I'm getting alot of letters from children who think that I'm the coolest god."

Alein:" I'm sorry... You said half a year ago... YOU KNEW ABOUT THE DEMON KINGDOMS EXISTENCE ALL THIS TIME AND DIDN'T WARN ANYONE....

AND YOU ALSO SAID YOUR FRIEND?!

SINCE WHEN WERE YOU A FRIEND WITH THE DEMON LORD"

Eresh: " mmm... You mean Sapphire, I've known him long before you two met *munch* *munch*"

Alein: ".... what?"

Eresh: " oh yeah... He stumbled upon my abandoned temple a while before you two fought"

Alein: "HE WAS IN YOUR DOMAINE AND YOU DIDN'T KILL HIM?!!"

Eresh: " I tried, but he was smart enough to figure that I can't hurt him if he didn't attack, well this and that happened and now we're buddies, he sends me some books every once in a while and visits, this novel that he got me Ble*ch is very entertaining.. Although I think that the main character is getting strong way too fast, and although some words were a little complicated *eath *ote was very exciting, I was about to start the Det**t**ve *o*an.. Want to join?"

Alein:" ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? WHAT WILL THE OTHER GOD'S SAY WHEN THEY LEARN THAT YOU MET THE DEMON LORD FIRST THEN LET HIM GO AWAY?!! AND THAT YOU BUILT A TEMPLE AT HIS DOMAINE?! "

Eresh: " oh I didn't meet him first, Seid beat me to it, then Realta after me, you're the fourth person to meet him, and they both seem fine with it, Realta also started a temple in the Demon Continent, and due to demons being very talented in the dark element, alot of Demons are flocking to him as well, apparently Darkness is also a Concept associated with power and coolness, funny right?"

Alein: "...."

Eresh:" also Pearla started a temple, after the first conference, apparently she was visited by the Leviathan Queen, and since she owed her one she didn't mind... "

Alein: " the Leviathan Queen ... But she's dead... "

Eresh: " oh.. You know how it's like with souls, sometimes they don't move on, apparently that what happened to her then Sapphire revived her and made her into a demon, she's his first in command Skadi"

Alein: "WHATTTT?!"

Of course Alein heard about the scary SSS rank who one shotted one of Atila's generals... She never took notice of her name when she was alive, so it slipped her mind...

Even when she was one rank less than her Alein always was scared from that leviathan..

And now that she's back, of course she'll want revenge for what Alein did back then...

Alein: " ARE YOU ALL CRAZY, ARE YOU SERIOUSLY TRUSTING A DEMON LORD"

Eresh: "Alein remember our rules, we don't punish without a crime"

Alein: "SO YOU'LL WAIT UNTIL HE KILLS EVERYONE BEFORE YOU ACT?!!"

*MALICE*

Eresh: "Alein remember that all gods are to do with their domain as they please, and this is mine, make sure you don't step out of line"

This is why Alein and Eresh don't get along well, as long as it doesn't cause her too much work she won't care if people died, after all she's the goddess of Death, and doesn't think of it as something bad, to her it's not different than living.

Alein: "FINE, I'LL HANDLE IT MYSELF"

Alein stormed out.

Alein: " I'll expose his true colors, then you'll have to help..."

The goddess of life have another scheme in mind.
