The Palace Beast

Anubis chuckles as he has his eyes fixed on Kyle and Abezethibou. "Anubis knees before no one!" The voice of Anubis sounded like roaring water being tossed around by a mighty wind.

He hastily blasted through the salt circle and with his staff he knocked Kyle and Abezethibou down. "All of you get out of here!"

Without any second thought, Gerald and Leon lead the king, Bonnie, and Eva out from the throne hall. They were accompanied by Festus and Eux.

"You have no business here, Anubis. You should go now or face the consequences."

Abezethibou dragged himself up to his feet. He glared at Anubis who was holding firmly his staff in his hand as he gets ready to strike with a lightning blast.

"My business is to kick you so hard in the arse." Anubis positioned his staff with his eyes on Abezethibou.

Kyle was enraged by Anubis' interference. He immediately stretched out his hand. His pitchfork appeared in his hands. He gave Anubis a weird gaze. "You want to fight, be my guest."

As Kyle charged towards Anubis with his pitchfork positioned vertically in his hand, there was a gentle wind that greeted Kyle. He was distracted by a thick black cloud that just appeared above his head. "What's going on?"

As Kyle was distracted Abezethibou slammed Anubis with his wing to the wall. "The black cloud is a distraction, focus on Anubis."

Kyle and Abezethibou made their way towards Anubis but before they could get to him, they felt a gentle touch on their shoulders. Swiftly they turned but saw no one.

Kyle glances at Abezethibou and then opens up to speak. "We are not alone."

"I can feel a strange presence here."

"Of course you two are right," said a voice from the black cloud.

As they both looked up to the black cloud, the black cloud turned into a churning figure of ash and smoke. The face was hard to see except for the pinpoints of the eyes, which shone like quasars and with two wings. Beating the wings, the waves of darkness rolled over Kyle and Abezethibou and lifted them above the ground.

"Who are you and why do you interfere in our matter?" Kyle cried out as his pitchfork fell off his hand.

"I'm Nyx, the goddess of the night."

Nyx is the primordial goddess of the Night. She was the personification of the night and a daughter of Chaos.

Anubis dragged himself up. With his eyes fixed on Nyx, he said, "This is not your fight."

"That's right, stay down." Nyx beat her wing and slammed Anubis to the king's throne without the wing physically touching him. It was as if something took hold of Anubis and slammed him to the throne. Angrily Anubis jumped to his feet; he stretched his hand for his staff. Walking towards Nyx with his eyes glittering blue, two dark horses that pulled Nyx chariot appeared from Anubis' behind and kicked him down. The two horses held Anubis down with their feet as Anubis struggles to with them.

Kyle and Abezethibou were still suspended in the air as they keep doing all they could to get down. "Let us down here," Kyle cried out.

"Relax, I'm just getting started." She then giggles. "Hypnos, I summon you, my son, it's time to put them to sleep."

Immediately, a cloud of black smoke came out from the ground and transformed into a young man with wings on his brow. He was bearing a horn known as the horn of sleep.

He then looked at Nyx with a smiling face. "Here I'm."

Hypnos is the god of sleep, and the father of Morpheus, Phobetor, and Phantasos.

Long before the Trojan War, Hera was angry at Hercules, and she persuaded Hypnos to make Zeus sleep while she tormented the hero. When Zeus awoke, he was furious. He searched for Hypnos and finally found him hiding in the arms of his mother, Nyx. Zeus overcame his anger and simply warned Hypnos not to try such a trick again, and Hypnos went unpunished.

The entire palace was covered in darkness as Nyx slammed Kyle and Abezethibou to the ground with a wave of the hand. She then turned and faces the soldiers who couldn't see a thing anymore for darkness had rolled over them.

Nyx started making her way towards the soldiers, before she could get to them, Horus flew in and with his right-wing, and he slammed Nyx to the ground and held her down. Hypnos then charges towards Horus but was blasted away with a flash of light that came out from Horus' palm.

"Darkness can't dwell where I reside," said Horus as he quickly flapped his left-wing,, and immediately the darkness disappeared.

"What have you done?" Nyx cried out.

"What needed to be done!"

Horus dragged Nyx up and ordered her to release her horses that were pressing against Anubis on the ground. She didn't give in easily but after much threat from Horus, she gave in to avoid being destroyed by Horus' light. She quickly released Anubis as she jumped into her chariot with Hypnos and disappeared.

"What should we do to these two demons?" Anubis asked as he points at Kyle and Abezethibou.

"Send them to hell where they belong."

...At the Dungeon...

Princess Bonnie was lying lifeless at the entrance of the dungeon. After she escaped Kyle and Abezethibou, she decided to visit her mother, but she was stroked on the head by Drew with the edge of the sword.

Drew tricked one of the guards and has him come into the dungeon but he ended up disarming the guard and releasing the queen from her chains.

The princess didn't know what has happened but walked into the dungeon to visit her mother as usual but was knocked out by Drew who was at that time fleeing from the dungeon with Queen Afi.

As she was still lying lifeless, a jewel-encrusted, golden chariot which was pulled by sparrows pulled over beside her. Seated on the chariot was a beautiful woman with her hair resting on her shoulders, her breasts were exposed and her lips were red with glittering eyes. She was accompanied by another man with wings carrying a bow and arrow.

She mounted down from the chariot and places her hand on Bonnie's forehead. She is the goddess of love, beauty, sexuality, desire, lust, and fertility. She is the eldest of the Olympian gods and her name is Aphrodite. Immediately her hand rested on Bonnie's forehead, Bonnie exhales. Sitting on her butt she stared around. On seeing Aphrodite and a chariot with a young man seated in the chariot, she asked, "What happened to me and who are you, people?"

"My name is Aphrodite and that's my son, Eros. Andrew your beloved prayed to me from the halls of the dead to protect you. Even in his death, his love still remains pure."

"Are you a goddess?" Bonnie enquired. A lot has been happening lately but she never expected to see a goddess as beautiful as Aphrodite. The last thing she could remember was being knocked down from behind.

"I'm the goddess of love and your beloved has cried out to me from the halls of the dead in Olympus. Your father's friend Drew knocked you out and he has escaped with your mother."

Helping Bonnie to her feet, Aphrodite puts on a smile and then said to her, "You have to get to a place safe. The war between the Egyptian gods and the Grecian gods is so severe that their mortals have to pay with their life." "We have no business in the war going on with the gods. They can't keep showing up and wanting to kill us." Bonnie argued.

Aphrodite glances at Bonnie and then began to speak, "We can stay here and talk but it won't change anything. If you did not die in the hands of the gods, you might die in the hands of the demon prince you made a deal with. Or even the vampire that has destroyed the kingdom of Kez, and Wessex. They have been turned into vampires and have added to Ambrogios' vampires' army. How long will it take them to wipe the Kingdom of Wex, Uzex, and Maxis? It's true Ambrogio is doing this to redeem his soul from the underworld so he can be with Selene again. But, if there is no underworld, there is no deal with Hades. Ambrogio will lose but the people he killed and turned into vampires will never recover their souls from the underworld and his soul will still be in the underworld and the worst part is, there will be no underworld if we lose to the Egyptian gods."

"Thanks for the heads up but I have no business with..."

Bonnie's words were pushed back by Eros. "Mother, we need to leave now. Nowhere is safe."

Eros was the god of love and the son of Aphrodite and Ares. Many believed Ero is the mischievous god of love, but one thing is certain, he is a minion and constant companion of the goddess Aphrodite.

It was he who lit the flame of love in the hearts of the gods and men, armed with a bow and arrows and most at times with a flaming torch. Eros was often is often seen as the disobedient but fiercely loyal child of Aphrodite. "Mother, let's go. I can sense trouble." Eros cried out.

Aphrodite gazes at Bonnie in the eyes and then stretched her hand towards her. "Come with us, we can keep you safe."
