V2-C30: Horror That Touches Divine The god’s domain would usually reflect an emotion a god would feel in some manner. Some would shift and change colors, some would gain or lose plantlife, and many would be beset by earthquakes. Yet Laleyn’s realm was tranquil as ever, despite a powerful emotion she felt. The emotion that was foreign to even lesser gods, much less the greater goddess like herself. The emotion of Fear and Terror. The lake rippled as she hugged her knees tightly. Despite being a greater goddess, she was clumped up and on the verge of tears merely due to a simple fact. She had messed up and let the Devourer notice her. Due to her stupidity, she almost failed Peron. If it wasn’t for Runas, Laleyn would have jeopardized everything. “Agh! How do I explain this to the Chief!” She dragged a finger over the water. Runas will report everything to the Chief. She inhaled deeply, “Please give me another chance, I promise I will be more careful!” She whimpered into the void. She pushed her face between her knees as she sighed. Even if the devourer was powerful, it shouldn’t have caused such a reaction in her. Yet when she felt the blazing gaze peering into her. It was cold yet scorching. No matter how much she tried to wrap her head around it, she had failed. It was an incomprehensible sensation for a goddess. When she had noticed the Devourer staring at her, she froze up, and only due to the quick action of Runas was she able to cut the connection. With a heavy exhale, she pushed herself up. She wanted to observe her Azure, yet she knew it was now impossible. Runas had told her to cease any observation, even if it seemed possible. Yet, she couldn’t help but worry for her child. Azure was one of her favourites, yet she was next to an entity that even gods feared. I am so worried! Something better not happen to you, Azure! She squealed; Laleyn had noticed her blessing shrinking away anytime it had grown more powerful, yet it did not dissipate fully. Azure had to get away from the elven girl as soon as possible, otherwise her blessing would stagnate. What was even worse was that recently, an entity that sent shivers down her spine appeared next to her Azure. “Summoned by the Devourer, I suppose.” Her head slumped in defeat. The entity was enigmatic, yet every god could sense the sheer magnitude of its strength. It was as if the Sun itself had descended upon the world. It scared her. A greater goddess was afraid; it was rather comedic. Someone whose very name instilled the terror in the hearts of mortals had shivered from that very emotion. “I guess there is no point in worrying. Runas will figure something out.” She lifted her head up toward the full moon that shone upon her realm. She admittedly was not the smartest, nor the wisest; those roles went to Runas and Peron, respectively. However, what she had in abundance was love for all her children. Many considered them monsters, yet to her, they were all darlings that needed a mother’s love. Yet one of her favoured children was in the presence of two entities that made gods soil themselves. With a quick head shake and slap on her cheeks, she calmed down. She had to trust in the Chief and Runas, even if she had messed up royally. After a moment of silence, she disappeared from her domain and found herself in the same palace where the greater gods met before. The floating thrones were empty as they were for the majority of the time, yet two thrones were filled. In one sat Runas, and in the second her Chief. “Laleyn, you are here. Come sit.” Peron was gentle, despite her mistake; he had not shown anger when speaking. Instead, his voice consoled her. After all, the Devourer was an unknown, and it was expected to make mistakes. “Yes, venerable elder. I have come to discuss the Devourer as requested… and my failure.” “Failure? That’s not what Runas had relayed to me.” His voice rumbled through the city of glass. She leaned her head to the side as she blinked in surprise. The two go
