The Death of a God
Part 7
4 days later the entire pantheon was gathered for Hera's announcement. Strife and Ares were both not present. Dez and Bliss were over by 'Dite and Hepheastus when Hera walked in. All talking ceased when they saw the look on her face.
"I have asked all of you here for one reason. Our possible destruction." Everyone began to whisper. "Both Joxer and Cupid are changing. They are no longer the gods we knew. The fates have decreed that they will stay this was until the sacrifice of One. I want everyone to be on guard. There was more to the prophecy and I want everyone to be on alert to anything suspicious." Hera looked to Bliss and Dez.
Their worry was clear. No one had seen strife since the day they bound Cupid. Hera noticed a glow around Dez and said, "Step forward Dez."
Everyone moved out of her way as she walked forward. Bliss went with her. He held her hand as they walked up.
Hera laid her hand on Dez's head and reached out with her power. Her assumption was right. Dez was pregnant. Hera was about to say something when Callisto and Psyche flashed in. Every God and Goddess back away from the deranged Goddess.
"Well well what have we here?" Callisto walked forward and looked Dez up and down.
"She's new. I wonder who she is." Psyche said. "Hello son."
"Mother." Bliss said coldly. It was no secret that Bliss hated his mother.
"Psy my dear I just figured it out. This little mouse is Cupid and Strife's child." Callisto laughed wickedly as she played with Dez's hair. "I see now to. We can't have that. Now can we?" The Hind's blood dagger appeared in her hand. Psyche took aim and would have killed Dez had Strife not flashed in front of her.
"NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Dez screamed as Strife fell to the floor.
Psyche looked at Callisto. "Oops. I guess I missed. Oh well." She flashed out just as Callisto grabbed Dez.
"You're coming with me girlie." Callisto's schreecing laughter echoed through the room.
"DEZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!" Bliss lunged for her but grabbed air. He screamed in anger and frustration. Then he remembered that Strife had been stabbed.
"Dad." Bliss knelt down and pulled the dagger from Strife's chest.
"I'm sorry I let them take her."
Strife shook his head. "Find her. They'll kill her." Strife whispered and spit up blood. "Tell Cupid, I love him." His eyes closed and the sky grew dark as the God of Mischief and Mayhem died.
Olympus was shaken by the screams of Cupid and Discord. Those two would have to run long and hide well to avoid the two bitter gods. Bliss stared blindly at the crowd. Hera was crying, as was Aphrodite.
Ares flashed in and saw his grandson and nephew. "We have to find Dez."
"Yes. We must. I didn't have a chance, but Dez is pregnant." Hera said.
Bliss looked at her and everyone watched as her picked the dagger up. He flashed in a cloth and wrapped it up. "I'll kill them both."
Before anyone could stop them Bliss vanished. Hades came forward and picked Strife's body up. He hated his job some days and this was one of them. He nodded to Ares and flashed out.
