Minos and Melisande lie in bed. I rub my hand along her back enjoying the serenity of having her back. Even though it has only be four days since they were banished from the realm of the gods, I couldn't have been happier. We found a small house in a suburb out side the city. The bird chirped welcoming the morning. "Good Morning my little false goddess" I joke at my wife as she wakes up. @Hikikomori

Melisande was more than happy to be back with her husband. The time she’d been alone in the mortal realm had been horrible. Not only did she miss the man she loved, but it had just been miserable. In a world without love and marriage, people so full of anger and hate. Even in the bedroom. As she woke with as stretch and heard the morning greeting, she smiled and turned to snuggle into his chest. “Good morning, my big false god…” She replied, keeping his joke going. @Mr. 9.5

Mitus closed his eyes wanted to cherish this moment for eternity. Her hair smell amazing, her skin warm to the touch. As the god of life, his happiness caused flowers sitting next to the window go grow unnaturally quick. "I'll go make us some food." Mitus was not accustomed to the habits of mortal because unlike his wife he spent very little time in the mortal realm. He wanted to make this their own personal paradise. Mitus rose and left for the kitchen. As he stood in the kitchen unsure where to begin a small humming sound can be heard beside him. It was a humming bird that flew in through the window. The humming bird began to talk. "Mitus the situation has gotten worse." Mitus recognized the voice it was Numo, the goddess of animals. Before Mitus and Melisande were exiled, he asked many of the gods still loyal to him to keep him informed of important news. "The faction calling for Melisande is making moves, I fear they may come for her, right now she is hard to trace because of her diminished divinity, but she gains more strength by the day." "Keep me posted" Mitus ordered. "Are you going to tell her" Numo asked. "No she has been through enough Nu" "Her life could be in danger, not only is she closer to mortality, even at full strength the are ways to kill a god" "I won't let it come to that." Mitus replied. The silent humming of the bird somehow sounded unassured. It flew out the window and Mitus continued to make his burnt toast. @Hikikomori

Melisande smiled her amusement at the idea of her husband cooking food. It was usually her chore as an example of the perfect wife. She laid in bed for a little while longer until she smelled the scent of disaster in the kitchen. Then she got out of bed and slipped on the robe by the door. She hugged Mitus from behind. “Sweetheart, why don’t we make breakfast together?” She suggested sweetly as she stood on her toes to kiss his jaw. It was almost comical the difference in their size. Melisande’s 5’ was dwarfed by almost everyone she met, especially her husband. She left his side to collect the bacon and ingredients for pancakes and fruit out of the refrigerator she set everything on the counter and then paused. She stared off into space as a person entered one of her abandoned temples. She listened to the young man’s pleas for the woman he loved to feel the same. She was maybe a little too eager to help after so long. She gifted the boy with the patience it would take to win the girl’s heart and then searched the world for the girl he loved to give her a small nudge. It was a small use of her power, but after so little use for so long, it weakened her and she held onto the counter for support. She smiled up at Mitus. “I think I took too long of a vacation. I’m out of practice.” She said, referring to her exile. Despite her cheer, she worried, wondering how long it would be for people to believe in her again and for her to gain power or if it would happen at all. @Mr. 9.5

"I you are the goddess most important to the world. Even stronger than me. Life would serve no purpose with out love." He hugs her tightly. Knowing that she was pushing herself. "You are the light necessary for the world to survive. necessary for me to survive." Mitus then presented his burnt toast, proud of his accomplishment. @Hikikomori

She leaned into his hug, smiling at his affection. After living for so long without him her love for one of the most feared and powerful gods had doubled, if that was even possible. She gazed at the burnt toast with pure delight and took a bite. She didn’t even cringe at the charcoal taste as she chewed. It was a show of his love for her and it could be a rotting slab of meat and she’d still be happy with it, but there was no way poor quality food would touch his tongue. She stretched to give him another sweet kiss before turning her attention to making him his breakfast. She set the griddle on the stove and while it heated she mixed up the pancakes from scratch adding chocolate chips, cinnamon, and peanut butter for taste then poured a couple onto the girdle to cook beside the thick slices of bacon. Then she started preparing the fruit. @Mr. 9.5

He watched her cook. Even after all these centuries he still couldn't get used to how beautiful she was. She was perfect the personification of love and she loved him, he was the luckiest god truly. He couldn't help but admire her butt as she cooked. He had no regrets manipulating the mortals, his view was well worth it. "What should we do in our exile love?" @Hikikomori

Melisande didn’t answer him until she had a plate piled high with food being presented to him. She set it on the table that gave them a brilliant view of their garden outside and the lake. “I want to have a family, Mitus…” She said softly. It was forbidden a long time ago for the gods to breed. As soon as the mortals started to stop worshipping the gods, the ban had been set. All to Melisande’s despair. As the goddess of love and marriage, it was only natural for her to want to bring up children as well. In fact, it was part of her godhood, but that part of her power had been stripped of her. Meaning childbirth for the mortals had become dangerous for the mortals only adding to the tend of not believing in the gods. Children brought hope, strengthened love. And Melisande had seen the effect first hand. “I know it’s not allowed and it’ll get us in more trouble, but….” Her chin trembled then as tears spilled down her cheeks. She didn’t talk about her lonely exile. Not even to her husband. “I want to…” She finished in barely a whisper. @Mr. 9.5

He ignored the food see his wife's tears. Mitus hated seeing her cry more than anything. "We are already exiled what more can they do to us? Our child would be the brightest hope for this universe. Made from life and love." He also wanted a child. She did not know it was his rule that banned gods from breeding because he was scared. Could she handle bring in a god when she was so close to mortality herself? But after so much time apart he wanted to celebrate every aspect of life with her. He wiped the tears from her face and kissed her deeply. "We can do whatever we want we are free" He told her and kissed her again hugging her tightly not know how much pain she was really in. He could tell the time in the mortal realm had changed but was ignorant to how much. @Hikikomori

Her arms went around his neck like a child as he held her. She hated when she burst into tears over her first exile. She knew it wasn’t fair not telling her husband what all had happened to her in that time, but her shame and even fear stopped her. She should tell him and one day she promised she would, just not now. She sniffed. “What if the others found our child and….” She could not finish the thought. Their brethren had seemed to have lost every ounce of their morality lately. And she didn’t have a doubt in her mind that they’d end their child’s life if they were ever found. She shook her head and forced a smile on her lips. “Never mind, darling. I’m being silly. You should eat before your breakfast is cold.” She told him, turning her focus on doting over the love of her life. @Mr. 9.5

Mitus knew what she was alluding to. He wouldn’t let that happen they would have to go through him and very few capable. He would end they before they had the chance. He didn’t verbalize these thought he knew the goddess of love hated violence but it is often forgotten he is the god of death as well. “All I’ll say is if you wanted to make a child I wouldn’t object especially to the process.” He winked at her in an attempt to brighten her mood. And ate the most delicious breakfast. @Hikikomori

She did laugh at his flirtation. Oh, she knew he very much wouldn’t object to that part of them creating a child. But she did worry. Would their child be welcome in this world? She couldn’t bare the thought of bringing a new god into the world without anyone to believe in it. As her husband enjoyed her food that had only improved since her time with the mortals, she bustled about cleaning the kitchen until it was spotless. Once done, she watched Mitus like a lovesick school girl. She never seemed to forget about her husband’s second part of his power. And she loved him for it. She shuddered to imagine how he’d function without her when she was among the mortals. @Mr. 9.5

Mitus watch is wife move about the house with a graceful elegance. Even when she did the most mundane task it was graceful and beautiful. While he watch her, he heard someone making a prayer to him. He heard it clearly in his head. “Lord Mitus please allow my child to be born healthy” How long has it been since he answered a prayer? Mitus granted her request she would have a healthy daughter. “Love what do you think about inspiring more mortals to get married?” Mitus knew she needed to be stronger to have a kid. @Hikikomori

Melisande’s head popped up at the question. She looked around them as though the other gods might appear from the walls to attack them. A silly notion she knew, but she just couldn’t help it. “Are you sure it’s wise to draw attention to ourselves?” She asked her husband as she drew closer to him and the safety only he could offer. “What if the others find us?” Her concern wasn’t at all for herself but for the man before her. She knew they’d angered their kin and that Mitus would give his own life to keep her safe. That scared her more than her own dying. He was the most important of the gods. Life and death itself. Without him, all would cease to be. “I did have a prayer today. The boy didn’t know who I was, but he was in my temple praying for love.” She shared softly. @Mr. 9.5

Mitus grew excited. “See all the more reason. The mortals need love they need you.” “No god will challenge me openly that would be suicidal and they know it. It will take them time to strategize.” The thought of her receiving a prayer made him ecstatic. He pulled his wife in hugging her, lifting her off the ground. Spinning her around and kissing her. He carried her back to the room and laid her on the bed. @Hikikomori

His excitement was infectious in the most wonderful way. She laughed as he spun her and took her to their bed like she was a doll. She laid relaxing against her pillows as she gazed up a the mighty Mitus. Her heart swelled with her love for him, the feeling so strong it brought tears to her eyes. Her cheer fell though as her smile melted. “Oh no…” She voiced. She’d been keeping tabs on her one believer and the foolish boy had gone and declared his love for her in front of a crowd. The poor girl was blindsided and shot him down hard. In a second her believer lost faith in love and Melisande felt as weak as a newborn. “Oh, Mitus… what if I never get followers again?” She voiced her despair. @Mr. 9.5

Mitus saw her sudden change in her mood. He kneeled done beside her. He clasped her hand in his. “You want to know why your a stronger god than me? Everything I create will one day cease to exist it must die never to be again. But love is forever, what you create will always exist maybe not in its original form but always there. Love is what people want and fear the most. The mortals were afraid so they try to remove it from their lives, but secretly they all wish for it. Without you life has no purpose and death is insignificant” @Hikikomori

Melisande listened to her husband’s words and then kissed him, her love for him pouring into the affection. “And with our life or death I would be without purpose. There would be nothing to feel love.” She told him. She was one of a very few know realized how important he was and she never let him forget that. She was tired from both the use of her power and the loss of a believer. But still she kept the kiss going. @Mr. 9.5

Mitus understood. He could feel how tired she was the glow she had earlier dimmed. He moved her up to the pillow, put the blanket over her, held her from behind, kissing the back of her neck. He knew he had to figure out something. To capitalize in this moment of small following she had. But for now all he could do was hold her and hide his frustration. @Hikikomori

There was never a more attentive wife as Melisande. She turned in her husband’s hold so she could face him. “We can still celebrate, my love. Actually, I insist we do. It was short lived, but still a win.” She told him softly with a kiss. She wiggled out of the robe so she was in the bed naked and pressed her body against the warmth of his. @Mr. 9.5

Mitus felt her soft body against her and all his frustration instantly melted away. He hugged her tightly, the feeling of her soft skin instantly getting an reaction as he becomes erect. He couldn't resist the goddess of love, this is where she specialized when she got naked all were powerless even a almighty god as Mitus. He reached up and grabbed her breast it was so soft it filled his hands. @Hikikomori

Melisande moaned at her husband’s touch as she kissed him. He may not be the only man she’s bedded, but he was the only man who made her feel so good and took away every worry and fear. She felt his arousal and smiled she gave his lips one more kiss before sending her lips trailing down his body. In everything, he always came first, even if it meant she went without which she never did. @Mr. 9.5

Mitus watched is wife move down move down his body. He burned with desire he wanted to satisfy her every desire. She was the perfect lover. The things she did could drive a normal man crazy. Mitus was ready for her, he was throbbing for her. She drew something primal from him. @Hikikomori

Melisande was always amused by her husband’s reactions to her affections. One would think he’d be used to it by now or that their sex life would become stale, but that was never the case. She knew exactly how to drive him to madness as he did her. In short, they had perfected marriage. She kissed every inch of him below, breathing in his smell and enjoying his enjoyment. @Mr. 9.5

Mitus couldn't help himself anymore, each of her kisses sent shivers down his spine. "I need you" he found himself saying involuntarily her teasing was to much. He was throbbing too intense he grabbed his dick and began to stroke it while watching her. @Hikikomori

Melisande smiled and gazed up at him. Gently, she removed his hand from his member and wrapped her own fingers around it. “You need me to what, my darling?” She asked, though she knew the answer. @Mr. 9.5

The moment she grabbed him. Mitus' mind went into a tailspin he was thinking of nothing else but her. "Taste it." He asked almost pleading. @Hikikomori

She voiced a giggle and ran her tongue from his balls to his tip again and again. Her ass under the covers was in the air and wagging like a dog with a tail , just completely pleased with herself for the effect she had on the man. When she felt she’d teased him enough, she slid her lips around his head and started to suck. @Mr. 9.5

It was divine pleasure. She teased him with her tongue and after what felt like an eternity, but was only a few seconds she started to suck. Her ass in the air, but under the covers was a sin. Nothing that perfect should be hidden. Mitus ripped off the covers and saw the greatest view on the planed. Melisande's head bobbed up and down and just behind her soft ass wagging. It was a sight to behold. Mitus grabbed her hair and pull it back. He wanted to see her eyes as she sucked him.

18:46

@Hikikomori

Melisande shivered a bit as the warm covers came off, but she didn’t complain. Her husband was admiring the view and that view loved being admired by him. The tug over her hair hurt, but she knew the reason behind it as though he’d announced his need aloud. Her dark sapphire eyes met his, full of her love for him and her desire to give everything of herself to him. @Mr. 9.5

He skills were almost too much for him he didn't want her to finish him before he could completely explore her body. He rolled her over, now laying in his favorite spot in the world between her legs. He kissed her on the lips while moving down towards her breast. He lightly rubbed his lips with her nipple. It was so soft it tingled his lips. He then put it in his mouth playing with her nipple with his tongue. @Hikikomori

The change in position wasn’t protested. Melisande was more than happy to do what her husband wanted. And her body reacted to his touch instantly. Her back arched to press her breast to his mouth while one hand buried itself in his hair. The other hand was still on his shaft, stroking it gently. @Mr. 9.5

She felt so good. Her breast so perfect. He moved down and kissed her naval then looked up at her with a grin. "My turn for a taste" he said before moving down between her legs. His tongue dancing around her lips, licking lightly. teasing her he wanted her to know pleasure. @Hikikomori

Melisande was married to the best kind of man. He could be selfish and only want pleasure for himself, but he wasn’t. He wanted her to feel good as well. It was a rare trait she knew especially after her banishment. And she was all the more grateful for him. She moaned at the touch of his tongue and her hands combed his hair back from his eyes. “I love you so much, Mitus…” She breathed softly, never getting tired of telling him. @Mr. 9.5

Mitus looked up at her to say “I love you too Melisande.” And he immediately put his tongue deep inside her while holding her hips.

10:45

@Hikikomori

Melisande’s moans grew a bit louder as her hands in his hair formed into fists with the pleasure. Her feet were resting on his back and her toes curled. @Mr. 9.5

She tasted so sweet it was like nectar. Mitus couldn’t get enough of her taste. He wanted her to tell him how good it felt.

Melisande gazed down at Mitus lovingly as he tasted her. “Mitus… I love it when you do this….” She told him. In truth he could be hurting her and a#she’d still enjoy it as long as it was him. It didn’t seem to matter to her what her husband did, he would always hang the moon, stars, and sun in her eyes. @Mr. 9.5

Mitus loved the way she said his name. He wanted feel her. He came back up and went inside her. She immediately covered him in her juices, she was so wet and tight. "fuck, you feel so good" he said as he slowed gave her all of his length.

11:58

@Hikikomori

Melisande welcomed her into her cavern with a moan and her arms and legs wrapped around him to hold onto him. She’d been close when his tongue was on her and now she moaned as her lower region quivered and squeezed him in an orgasm. “You f-feel so good t-too… Mitus… please d-don’t stop…” She said in barely a whisper as her back arched. @Mr. 9.5

Melisande's moans were music to his ears. He loved pleasing her. Mitus went hard, and deeper.

12:16

With each thrust he could hear the sound off her pussy getting wetter. He could feel it running down his balls. "I want you to feel all of me" He said.

12:16

@Hikikomori

She smiled and kissed his lips. “What’s stopping you, my love? You know I enjoy it…” Melisande told him softly. Then she was kissing his neck. “I want you to practice putting a baby in me…” She added. @Mr. 9.5

Mitus went insane. He started to go fast and harder. He couldn't take it anymore she felt too good. He wrapped his arms around her tight as he came. His piece pulses and with each pulse more cum came out. "Fuck I love you so much" He could help but gasp as he came. @Hikikomori

Melisande moaned with each thrust. It felt amazing as it always did when they made love. As she felt him finish she came again, right along with him. Her chest heaved it it had been her who’d done all the work not him. She smiled and kissed the side of his face. “I love you so much, Mitus….”

@Mr. 9.5

Mitus was drained. She drew all he had out of him. He rolled off and began to spoon her. He wanted to stay like this forever. Just as he was getting comfortable, he heard a knock at the door. Mitus has a suspiction he knew who it was. Mitus has only told some of his most trusted deities where they were. He said to Melisande "remember when I asked you if you wanted to manipulate more mortals into getting married? Well I asked Timos, god of fortune, to start alluding that good luck will come to those who get married. I also told him to say you will bless couples at your temples in person." The gods had not practiced in person blessings in centuries it caused too much of an uproar and war to be fought but Mitus had to do something.

12:57

@Hikikomori

Melisande was close to falling asleep in the safe warmth of her husband’s arms, but at the knock and him getting out of bed, the shock of cold without him had her wide awake, she sat up and frowned at her husband. “Mitus… I told you I didn’t want to manipulate anyone. If the mortals only marry out of greed it’s not the same as marrying for love and it makes those who marry miserable.” She protested. “I love that you want to help, but you’re asking a friend to put his life in danger.” @Mr. 9.5

"I will NOT lose you again. The mortals do not know misery. THEY TOOK YOU FROM ME I WAS THE MISERABLE ONE. Misery I can show them misery. when they took you from me I could have given them years of stillbirths. I wanted to the gods know I did, But I didn't out of love for you" Mitus responded more angrily than he meant. The plant that grew earlier started to wilt. He took a deep breath "I'm not mad, I just do not want to lose you again." There was a second knock at the door. Mitus didn't move, he continued to look at his wife. @Hikikomori

Melisande didn’t know a person or god able to witness Mitus’s outburst without a hint of fear aside from her. Most would shy away from him or fall on their knee to beg for mercy. She let him get the emotion out and then stood on the bed so she could match his height. Her arms went around his neck in a tender, loving hug. “I know, my beloved…. I know you were miserable without me. I was without you…. But the mortals are not to blame. How could they be? They didn’t know their disbelief would take me away from you…. It is whatever’s driven them to not believe in me anymore… that’s to blame, Mitus. Not them, darling.” She pressed a sweet kiss to his lips and then got down off the bed and brought him his robe. “Here. Let’s stop being rude to our guest and let the poor man in. I’ll make some tea and those cookies you like so much…” @Mr. 9.5

Mitus didn't deserve her. She was more level head and controlled her emotions better. She should have been the strongest of us, not me. The universe was truly unfair. Mitus put on his robe, and followed her. He opened the door. Without being invited Timos let himself in. Timos was tall and slender, dressed in a fine suit. He had perfect features often consider the 2nd most beautiful god behind Melisande. He was the god of fortune after all. "Sup, exilees" He jabbed. With a bow towards Melisande. @Hikikomori

Melisande slide her robe on before her husband opened the door. She went straight to the kitchen and started preparing the refreshments. She smiled her greeting to the fortune god. “I hear you’ve been hired to trick the mortals into marriage, Timos….” She gave him a look that told both men she wasn’t at all happy with their plan. She reached up the shelf for the fancy teapot she kept for entertaining guests. She wondered what she was thinking putting something so far out of her reach. “Mitus? Could you….” She started to ask as she pointed up at the teapot. @Mr. 9.5

Mitus moved to help his wife. He reached up and grabbed the pot. “Of course love” he said handing it to her with a kiss. “Hey I’m just doing what the big told me to do” she said with a smirk and pointing to Mitus “have you ever told him no before? Doesn’t seem very fortuitous to me” “I’m not twisting your arm Timos, you offer to help” Mitus said sitting at the table. “I know I know. But what I came here to tell you is it’s working mortals want to meet Melisande.” Timos said joining Mitus at the table.

14:01

@Hikikomori

Melisande hid a smile behind her hand. She’s told her husband no plenty of times. In fact, if she hadn’t said the word to him when they first met, she probably wouldn’t have captured his attention so long ago. She let them talk as she listened. She could tell Timos was right, people were flocking to her temples, even cleaning them. It felt good. She hummed as she mixed the dough in her bowl. “Of course it’s working…. It was Mitus’s idea.” She said with a glow of pride. She might not be a fan of this plan, but it still came from her husband. @Mr. 9.5

Mitus smiled at his wife she really was the perfect wife. He felt even deeper love for her, knowing that she had her reservations but always supported him. “Timos what have you heard of the others?” Mitus asked “Right now they don’t suspect me. They believe it is still influence from you. Half of them don’t care and the other half are too scared to confront you. Except for Sol, he wants to kill her and be done with it.” Mitus leaned back in his chair. Now Sol was a problem. God of Light and Dark. He was almost as powerful as him. “Have some tact Timos. I’m not worried about Sol” @Hikikomori

Melisande part listened, but most of her attention was on the food. “Don’t underestimate them, Mitus…. Sol has many followers.” She told him softly as she brought a tray of tea. She poured them each a cup, kissing her husband as she filled his cup. Then she returned to the kitchen and pulled the cookies from the oven and arranged them on a platter and brought them over, making sure Mitus had a large pile in front of him. She was heading back to the kitchen to clean up when she froze. @Mr. 9.5

"So do I" Mitus replied to his wife. He grabbed one of the cookies he loved her baking. "

16:42

Just when he was about to take his first bite he looked noticed his wife suddenly stop and reflexively stood up. @Hikikomori

The empty platter she’d delivered the cookies in fell on the floor and shattered. “Mitus…. They’re on fire…. All of my temples are being destroyed…. All those people inside…” @Mr. 9.5

Mitus was quick to respond. "They won't die love." He did something only he could do...he temporarily stopped death. All across the world for a brief moment people were immortal. It wasn't long just long enough for the mortals in the temple to make it out they all live for the most part. This act weaken Mitus. Mitus was the god of life and death a balance was always needed. The sudden lack of energy from no deaths made him fill lightheaded. He fell back into his chair. He would be fine in a few minuets "Timos go figure out who the hell touched my wife's temples they will pay" @Hikikomori

Melisande went to her husband when he fell, concern giving her the strength to go to him. She perched on his thigh as she looked at his face to assess how much energy he’d used. Then she left his side and brought over her collection of potted herbs starters for her kitchen. “Here, darling… kill them.” She offered softly. @Mr. 9.5

Weakly Mitus said "You were so excited to grow those. I will be fine" he smiled at her weakly hoping it would bring her comfort.

17:24

@Hikikomori

Melisande stubbornly shook her head. “I will grow more. You’re more important than a bunch of plants.” She told him firmly with a look telling him there would be not arguing and she wasn’t taking no for an answer. “You need the balance, Mitus.” @Mr. 9.5

Mitus didn't argue anymore. He reached up and touched the plant. It withered so badly it turned to dust. Every ounce of life was taken from the plant. Mitus felt better. Strange that he felt so much better from one plant, but then he looked around the house he killed every plant by accident. "I'm sorry love. I must have been weaker than I thought" @Hikikomori

Melisande wouldn’t have cared if he’d killed the whole forest if it meant he felt better. “Don’t you worry about that. I can regrow it all and the dead plants will be food for the new ones. I was getting tired of those old things anyway.” She told him with a loving smile. @Mr. 9.5

Mitus loved how she always cared for him. With renewed strength he looked at Timos "I need names Timos" "Right away boss" Timos replied with a smirk and nod of his head. He headed towards the door, but instead of walking through he simmered away to the realm of the gods. Mitus was glad to have gods still loyal to him. @Hikikomori

Melisande was frowning at her husband. “I think it’s time you tell me why you have my me in hiding here. And why my temples were attacked. What did you do to make everyone so angry, Mitus. This can’t just be over you choosing to live with me instead of in the god realm.” @Mr. 9.5

Mitus knew this would come up eventually. With a heavy sigh "I gave the gods an ultimatum, I told them if they didn't let me influence the mortals to give up some power so I could find you...I would end all life in the mortal realm in turn ending all life and divinity." Mitus looked away from her. "It caused a....divide some gods thought you had too much influence over me and said it impaired my ability to lead. They believe that if you were out of the picture permanently after mourning I could be an impartial leader is what I'm told by Timos and the other still loyal." He looked back at her "They want to weaken you back to a state of near mortality then kill you Melisande. I won't let that happen I will kill any god who threatens you."

18:32

@Hikikomori

Her face turned pale. A war going on between their kin over her? “Mitus….” She said softly. She didn’t know whether to be touched or angry and settled for afraid. For them, for him, for the world. “What if they’re right? What if I do have too much influence on you? Mitus, what are we going to do? They’ve destroyed my temples. I have nowhere for worshippers to gather and whoever did this had to have known about you plan… Timos could be heading into a trap.”

@Mr. 9.5

She was right someone was messing with his plans...but who? "Timos will be fine he is literally the luckiest person in the universe. If they were smart they would leave you alone. Melisande I meant it. I would end the world if something happens to you. They should know that. As for your temples, I made precautions the same mortals I influenced are wealthy and have large sway over the mortals. I told them that my temples are will be rededicated to you and me. The world will know that life is connected to love." He looked at her "The news about Sol is troubling though mortals worship him almost as much as me. He is conniving shit as well always wanted the authority I have." @Hikikomori

Melisande froze at the name. “Sol is involved?!” She looked as pale as she did when her temples were being destroyed. Her and Sol had been friends once. Before she married Mitus. Him and Mitus had been rivals since the beginning of time it seemed. She thought of her time with the mortals and covered her face in horror. She stood and walked away from her husband as the room grew dark and cold. Along with love and marriage, she held some powers of hatred and divorce as well since her sister ended her own life long ago. “Mitus, he… Sol was with me during my exile. I didn’t know it was him. And he was awful….” She said and stopped herself from speaking any more. @Mr. 9.5

Mitus flew into a rage. "WHAT DID HE DO?" he bellowed his anger sending many people into early labor and others into heart attacks. "Melisande if he touched you I will kill him" Mitus knew deep down this was untrue. He couldn't kill Sol, like he could many other gods. Sol was part of the trinity, the three gods that without all would cease to exist. The trinity consisted of Mitus-life and death, Sol-light and dark, and Umay-goddess of nature. @Hikikomori

Melisande flinched at the anger, but not out of fear of her husband. She gazed at him with guilt. “Mostly just hit me or said cruel things. But….” She paused and shuddered at the memory of the few times he’d caught her off guard and alone. “I thought he was a mortal and I was just weak….” She said. It wasn’t as though she could do anything even if it was just a mortal. At the time she was so weak, she was practically mortal herself. She shook, hating that she’d let anyone other than her husband touch her in such a way. “Mitus, please…. You’re hurting so many….” She said. The love and fear of mothers suddenly going into labor rang in her ears and the women prayed for their children being born far too early. A mother’s love had been the only thing giving her strength. @Mr. 9.5

Mitus hated making his wife sad. He calmed down. “I think we need to more proactive about this. We should follow the plan. We can replace the temples if you like. Sooner or later they will make their move and you cannot be mortal.” Mitus was basically begging his wife. @Hikikomori

Melisande chewed her lip. “Maybe i can go to the mortals and teach them how to love again?” She asked. It was a risky idea that would leave her exposed and vulnerable and the only reason she hadn’t done it was Sol was stopping her in his disguise. She looked up at Mitus with a hopeful expression. @Mr. 9.5

Mitus liked the idea. He could levy many of the gods how still trusted his leadership to spread the word of Melisande's benevolence. "That would be perfect. Timos and the others can facilitate the gatherings. The more public you become the harder it would be for Sol to make a move as well." @Hikikomori

Melisande bit her lip. Affairs of the heart usually started as a private thing. It only became public at the wedding. And it would take one couple at a time. Slow, but it worked. “Mitus, if the love isn’t involved in the marriage it’ll be a weak one I won’t have as much energy from it. It’ll fall apart.” She said. She knew she couldn’t use her traditional means. There wasn’t the time for it and with Sol looking to hurt her, it put her in danger. She chewed her lip in uncertainty. @Mr. 9.5

Mitus had thought of this. He had been preparing for decades now. He has done something that even he thought was questionable. He manipulate souls before they were born. He created soulmates. This was a cardinal sin of the gods. It took away free will. He wasn’t sure if he could tell his wife he attempted to artificially make lovers. “I think we can find people who are in love and push them towards marriage. There have to be some people prying to you to find the person of their dreams. We just have to…introduce them to each other.” Mitus said this with a wince, hoping she wouldn’t ask too many questions.

Melisande knew her husband well enough to know when he was hiding something from her and he definitely was now. She wouldn’t ask it of him just then. “I get plenty of prayers from mothers for their children to be happy, but never for love….” She stated. Nothing could kill a mother’s love. She’d seen that first hand. “Mitus, do you remember when my sister took her life? Hatred ceased to be. I was powerful, but it was so off balance… It almost feels like that… I’m so weak even sitting up in bed takes extra effort. Then I get a couple prayers from a few mothers and it’s not as hard….” She shuddered as she turned to fit herself in her husband’s arms. “World without love or hate…. Mitus, if that happens…. You’ll be weakened…. So will Sol….” @Mr. 9.5

Mitus feared that without her it wouldn't matter if he was weakened. There would be no mortals he would lose the will to bless mortals with the gift of life. Mitus remember when Melisande's sister passed. It took years before his wife even started to recover. "What happened to her showed us the violent effects of a god's death. I won't ever let that happen to you. I wouldn't be able to take it." As he held his wife, "I'm not worried about Sol, he cannot defeat me. You will regain you power."

21:43

@Hikikomori

Melisande took great comfort as she always did in her husband’s arms. It was her safe place. The one place where nothing and not one could touch her. She looked up at his promise. “He can’t beat you, but he can beat me. I think that’s what his aim is. I don’t think he’s gotten over that I chose you…” @Mr. 9.5

Mitus usually light eyes flashed black for a second. He couldn't stand the idea of Sol with his wife. "Sol won't be able to touc-" before he could finish his sentence, the door kick open and standing in the door was Cass, goddess of Lust. Cass wore almost nothing a tank top that left very little to the imagination and booty shorts where you could see a bright red thong straps from the top. Mitus always avoided her like the plague. She had got her kicks out of sleeping with gods and causing problems with the married ones. She always saw Mitus as her "Moby Dick" the one she could never get. "Mitus honey I come for you and that sweet dick" Mitus backed away she could compel anyone close to her into a mad lust, Mitus always kept his distance so he could say faithful to Melisande. "Fuck" Mitus whispered. Low blow Sol. @Hikikomori

Melisande glared at the intrusion. The goddess had little effect on her since the only time she was ever interested in sex was when she was around the love of her life. Weak as she was, in that moment, her short frame stood tall between Mitus and Cass. “Get out of my house.” She demanded. She kept a firm hold of Mitus’s hand behind her. “Now, whore, or I’ll make it my personal mission the spay and neuter the mortals.” @Mr. 9.5

Cass continued to walk in her voice would drive any mortal to finish just from the sound. "Ohhh Mel Mel Mel. I think it's about time you shared the best pick of the gods. I grow bored and need a real god inside me." She walked right up to Melisande and you practically feel her jealously coming off of her. "The only reason he is with you is because he has never been with me. Good play snatching him up before I came on the scene." She reached up and held a hand to Melisande's cheek. "I'm sure you don't need me to explain that with the state of the mortals right now, I'm very powerful. Mitus as the strongest god deserves to be with the strongest goddess. It only makes sense." She looked down at Melisande's chest and grabbed her breast while grabbing her own. "Honestly, I don't see what you have over me you boobs aren't even as big as mine" She leaned over to look at Mitus around her "Honey the realm is in shambles since you left with this hag. Come with me so I can be your queen, who can satisfy all your desires" "My desires" Mitus said almost in a trance. @Hikikomori

Something in her snapped and she punched Cass hard in the nose, feeling the cartilage break. “GET THE HELL AWAY FROM MY HUSBAND YOU DISGUSTING SLUT! THE ONLY REASON YOU’RE HAVING TO TRICK HIM TO EVEN THINK ABOUT TOUCHING YOU IS CAUSE YOU’RE NOTHING COMPARED TO ME. YOUR POWER IS MEANINGLESS WITHOUT MINE AND LASTS TWO SECONDS, MINE LASTS FOREVER. GET OUT NOW!” She shouted, grabbing the nearest weapon, a food tray, and beating the other woman with it. She might not have any power, but her time with the mortals did teach her some things. And Cass would be unbalanced. With the ability to make someone love, Melisande had the ability to take love from people. And that was exactly what she did. Everyone in Cass’s life would look at her without love. She’d be nothing to her friends, family, and lovers. Not a one would care about her. @Mr. 9.5

Cass was shocked. The punch in the nose startled her, she had never been struck before everyone loved her or at least wanted her. Her divinity quickly healed her nose and the food trey was nothing more than a mild annoyance. What hurt more were her words. Although she would never admit it, she was jealous of Melisande. She was right she could never be more than temporary and she knew it lust didn't last and she feared the day the mortals realized it. She was angry she hated Melisande even when she was mortal she had everything. In her anger, she back handed Melisande. The difference in divinity was clear. The slap although she meant to hold back knocked Melisande to the ground. Watching her fall. Mitus snapped out of his trance. With speeds faster than light he moved across the room. A loud slam could be heard. Mitus had grabbed Cass by the throat and held her pinned against the wall with one hand her feet unable to touch the ground. "YOU DARE STRIKE MY WIFE!" Mitus bellowed. Cass was elated. She never touched Mitus before, he always avoided her. He could feel his power and it was ecstasy. "Mitus baby, I was defending myself. she hit me what unwoman like behavior. I knew she was unfit for you that's why I help get rid of marriage to begin with. I drove the mortals to lust. I did it for us." This sent Mitus into a rage. "Prepare yourself Cass, depending on what she says this may be your last breath" Mitus waited for Melisande to decide her faith. He had already began slowly draining the lifeforce from her, her skin beginning to shrivel. @Hikikomori

Melisande didn’t see the backhand coming. She’d been so angry that this bitch had shown up to seduce her husband right in front of her that she did not think that the other goddess might hit her back. Or that it would hurt so bad. She didn’t even notice Mitus defending her, although she heard him shouting. When she finally looked up, the side of her face was turning purple and blood trickled from her lip. She didn’t have enough divine anything to heal like Cass did. “Mitus, stop….” She said with a calming hand on his shoulder. “If you kill the goddess of lust, you kill sex.” She pointed out around the pounding of her head. She looked at Cass. “Sex without love is meaningless. Empty. Lust and love together is beautiful, powerful. That’s why you feel power, but no satisfaction. What I have that you don’t is I would do anything to make Mitus happy. Even at the expense of my own happiness. If he wanted nothing but blowjobs forever, I would be delighted to do that and not care that my sexual desires are neglected. Beam cause he’s happy.” @Mr. 9.5

Mitus dropped her to the floor. Cass crumpled to her hands and knees. Slowly her skin started to return to normal. Mitus had not forgiven her. Her confession made his blood boil. She was partially responsible for his wife's pain. "Who told you to weaken Melisande, Cass" Mitus asked hold back the fury within. "Baby it was a group thing not just one. She had to go Mitus." Her tone serious for the first time "The king of gods cannot be at the beck and call of someone incapable of doing anything outside of love. Love clouds your judgement. Even in this moment, she wields the largest sword in the game and doesn't use it. You wanted to kill me, hell should kill, but she didn't and you back down. That is the issue honey YOU are king not her. I would be a proper queen for you one that would set you free not tie a shackle around your neck." "Cass you need to leave." Was all Mitus said. @Hikikomori

To learn that a whole group of gods wanted her gone all because Mitus loved her was a revelation to Melisande. She never felt as though she controlled her husband. If he was upset, she calmed him. If he was unsure of something, she helped him work it out. She looked at Cass and took a deep breath. Despite her spouse being so angry, she approached the other goddess. “I think you’re misunderstanding my relationship with Mitus and the love we share for one another. I’m not at all controlling Mitus. If he wants to he could kill you, even if I don’t want him to. He left it up to me because you’re attacking me. I don’t want you dead, because unlike you, I’ve lived with the mortals when a deity is taken away. And I’ve felt the power high you’re on. I promise you, that high will get to be too much. It’ll start to hurt and drive you insane. So no. I don’t want you dead. We’re all important. We all need each other. If we start killing each other, it’ll be a short war and end in absolute nothingness.” She offered Cass her hand to help her stand. “I don’t want you dead, but I’m not letting you off the hook either. You see you will never be loved. By anyone. At all. I also added love to your heart so you will love someone, but they won’t even be attracted to you. Not even your silly tricks will get that person to even look at you. I’ll take it all away after you learn the pain I suffered being in the mortal realm alone. At least I’m sparing you the horrors of having Sol torment you.” @Mr. 9.5

Cass was confused. Melisande's words hurt her deep. She loved Mitus and now knew he would never love her in return. Before Melisande's punishment, Cass held on hope that he would one day choose her. Cass began to cry, "Mitus I will one day have you in my bed. If you will never love me I can make her hate you" Cass stood and walked towards the door before leaving she paused and looked back at them jealous of their bond.

10:11

@Hikikomori

Melisande watched the goddess leave. She knew it wasn’t over between them. Knew that there would be another round and she’d probably be defeated. But she’d protected her man and averted a crisis. That felt good. Of course she’d used what little strength she had left to accomplish that much. Her legs that had been quaking under her weight, gave way and she found herself sitting on the floor weak as a newborn kitten. If Cass had stuck around any longer, the results would have been different. She looked up at her husband with concern. “Mitus? Darling, are you alright?” She asked him, more worried for the man she loved than for her own well-being. @Mr. 9.5

Mitus looked at his wife he was so impressed with her kindness. “You handled that situation better than I could have ever hoped to dream. You spared her and didn’t even after finding out she contributed to your lose of power.” Mitus knew that the other gods had it wrong his wife didn’t control him she saved them. She is what stopped him his possible tyrannical behavior. The goddess of love have taught him how to love, in turn saving the mortals and gods alike. Yet they plot against her. They didn’t deserve Melisande. Mitus held his wife. He was glad his love for her was so strong he could break Cass’ compulsion it reaffirmed to him they were destined for each other. @Hikikomori

Melisande smiled at her husband’s praise. It made the whole ordeal worth it. She rested against him and closed her eyes. “I wonder who’s all in this group…. Mitus, you’re strong, but if this whole thing turns into a war everyone is going to suffer gods and mortals alike. All because of me…” It was a terrifying thought. @Mr. 9.5

Mitus held his wife while rubbing her head. Her hair felt so soft he loved every part of her. “You are worth a war. It doesn’t matter who this group. The strongest they could possibly have is Sol. Umay has always stayed out of these things. It would take two thirds of the trinity to defeat one. We are safe.” @Hikikomori

Melisande still fussed. “Sol is a match for you, beloved, but I worry what will happen if you are so outnumbered. It will be dangerous for you and Sol is… good at cheating.” She said. The idea of losing Mitus hit her then and the entire world went dark. As the thought lodged itself in her mind the feeling of love evaporated and the excruciating pain of a shattered heart was inflicted on the world, god and mortal. @Mr. 9.5

Mitus felt her pain. His wife was worried. He knew it was time to act. Mitus look to has wife "Melisande I have an idea. We can begin to renew love and marraigae in the world. I have thought long about this and many of the gods are willing to help. You do have a following of gods who understand your importance." Mitus looked at his wife with eyes begging for her willingness. "I know how to get in contact with Domair." Domair was the goddess of dreams. She was difficult to find. She had no temples and spent all her time sleeping. She interacted with mortals in their dreams thus spent most of her time in a unique realm between conscience and unconscious, a place she called the dream world. "Melisande, Domair reached out to me in a dream. She wants to help by letting us into the dream world. Will you go with me?" @Hikikomori

Melisande frowned. “I thought only Domair was the only one who could live there without going mad. Besides, the god of nightmares is one of Sol’s lovers.” She pointed out. She gazed up at her husband. Mitus wouldn’t suggest something unless he was certain it would be safe. She trusted him. “If you’re sure about this then I’ll go with you. You know I will. Let me pack our things.” She stood on unsteady legs and wondered how long it would be for her to not feel so helpless again. Or if that day would ever come. @Mr. 9.5

Mitus shook his head. "We wouldn't be physically there. Domair has suggested she escort our unconscious mind into her realm. This will allow you to touch all mortals as they sleep. You are correct we cannot be there long. You basically have time to send a idea, hope, message in other words a dream that will appeal to all the mortals sleeping." Mitus held her hands and looked into her eyes with a serious expression. "You have to create a dream, a life, a desire, full of description, something to make mortals wake up and want it in reality. You have to show them the power of love and marriage." @Hikikomori

Melisande gazed up at her spouse, falling in love with him all over again. She knew what her message would be. That was the easy part. What could be the perfect picture of love and marriage than her own? “Alright, I know what to do. But if we’re both physically still here when we visit Domair, what will happen if Sol tries to attack again?” She asked. It would be just like Sol to make such a move. @Mr. 9.5

Mitus hadn't thought of that. Their bodies would be vulnerable. "What if I stayed behind to ensure your body is safe?" Mitus wanted to be wit her, but he know he didn't have a role to play in the dream world. It was something Melisande had to do alone. @Hikikomori

She hated the idea of being separated from him, even if their physical bodies were still together, but she could think of a different solution. Melisande gave a reluctant nod. “Ok… when do I go and what do I do?” @Mr. 9.5

Mitus has always had connection to Domair. The moment a mortal fall to sleep or a coma they are in a period between life and death. This is where they leave Mitus' perview and enter Domair's. Its a conscience agreement between them that happens constantly. "I can reach her. She will come here" Mitus internally calls for her, something he has only done once or twice over the eons. There is a soft thud coming from their bedroom. Mitus walks over to Melisande their bed room. There is a woman laid in their bed she appears to be sleeping. She has long unkept black hair. She opens her eyes slightly they are red as crimson. Her voice sounded like a someone on the brink of collapsing from exhaustion. "Mitus....Mel-" her eyes close again. @Hikikomori

Melisande jumped at the thud and followed her husband to their room. She looked at the other goddess with mixed feelings. The strongest being her dislike for having some other woman in the bed she and Mitus share. The other was relief and nerves over the job they had to do. “Hello, Domair. Can I get you something to eat or drink?” She asked politely. @Mr. 9.5

Domair spoke without opening her eyes. "Just...sleep" she answered. Mitus was nervous he know that this was something she had to do alone, but he wanted to be with her. "Domair what need to be done?" The woman in the bed barely moved she just opened her hand "lay...hold...hand" @Hikikomori

Melisande looked at the open hand like it was a venomous snake. She did not want to be separated from her husband. The last time they were apart, she didn’t see him again for almost a century and it had been torture. She turned around and her arms when around Mitus’s neck in a tight hug like she’d never see him again. “I love you.” She told him around the lump in her throat. @Mr. 9.5

Mitus held his wife. "The time we will be apart will be brief. You have to do this love" I will be right here. We won't be apart. "Do you know what you want to say?" Mitus was afraid. As far he knew no one has ever been in the dreamworld. @Hikikomori

She nodded against his neck. “Mitus…. If something happens to me I want you to not kill everything. I want you to find a way to be happy.” She whispered. @Mr. 9.5

Mitus looked deeply in her eyes. He searched within in himself to try and find a truth where he could live without her. "I...I'm not ready for an immoral life without you. How can I bring more life when I wouldn't want to live myself? I would try because I know that is what you want, but I will not spare the ones who harm you. I can't promise you that. Even if it is Sol, the world would just have to live in darkness." Mitus meant it, he would rain vengence on every god who ever laid a hand on her. "But there is no point in thinking of it my love our plan will work and you will rule beside me in full strength" He said holding her and rubbing her back.

20:14

@Hikikomori

If it were not for the goddess in their bed, Melisande would be raining comfort and love on her husband. But since they had a bit of an audience, she settled for a long, love filled kiss. “I love you more than anything in this world.” She told him, meaning every word as she always did. “You’ll hold my hand?” She asked, knowing he probably would anyway. She gave him one more kiss and then moved toward the bed. She carefully laid beside Domair and put her shaking hand in the goddess’s. @Mr. 9.5

Mitus hugged his wife as she asked if he would hold her. “I would hold you for all eternity if you wish it.” She laid in the bed and grabbed Domair’s hand. Mitus knelt beside the bed and held his wife’s hand. As soon as she held Domair’s hand Melisande felt as though she feel into a deep sleep and was falling through the bed. “We are in the dream realm. Here you can interact with every person sleeping at once. And see their dreams.” @Hikikomori

Melisande glanced around and tried to relax. “Domair, can we go to a specific place in this realm? “ she asked softly. She knew it was silly, but she felt as though speaking loudly would be a very bad thing. “I would like to go to where Mitus and I were wed.” She said. Her hand in her husband’s tightened and she felt better feeling him there.

15:59

@Mr. 9.5

Domair thought a second. Well if someone has dreamt it before. She could see it but it would be a dream memory. Domair who was wide awake in the dream realms replied. “Yes I could take you there. It would be possible because someone has dreamt about it before” @Hikikomori

Melisande nodded. She knew it would be a risk. That place was where she was the most powerful since it was where she’d gained her official power. If Sol was going to try to hurt her, that place would be the easiest to have guarded. But if she was going to reach out to so many people in her current state then she was going to need all the help she could get. “Let’s go then…” @Mr. 9.5

Domair nodded and the darkness of the dream world started to swirl. The scene of their wedding started to materialize. The large crowd of gods who had gather to watch to two wed. The exact moment of this scene was when the two were about to say their vows to each other. “Hmmmm this seems fine. This a recollection of Mathis dream remembering your wedding.” Domair said.

12:15

@Hikikomori

Melisande gazed around at the scene, watching her own wedding. She might not be in the physical place, but it was a close second. “Okay….” She had as she heard her husband’s vows, smiling at the sappiness of the man. A side of him only she knew. “I’m ready.” @Mr. 9.5

Domair closed her eyes. This would take a lot of energy from the goddess. She rarely interferes with the dreams of the mortals, she just observed. Not only was she summoning a memory of a dream she was projecting it to all sleeping mortals. “I’ve done it you. You are connected to all mortals sleeping. You can tell them what you wish.” Domair said while trying to hold her focus. @Hikikomori

Melisande took a deep breath. She didn’t say anything. There was no speech given. But as she was connected to a person in their dream she’d see their soulmate. No other god could do what she could do. People were connected and she could, not only form a new connection, but see that connection or repair it and show people the ones they were to love and their futures with that person. She did this now. She’d never done it to this extent, but every sleeping mortal saw the person who would make them happiest and felt the promise of a life of bliss to come. Hope was sparked in those people. And then Melisande showed what married life meant when it was with the one who loved you more than life itself. @Mr. 9.5

Mitus sat there holding his wife's hand. He was nervous. He just found his wife, never wanted to leave her side again. He wondered what she would do in the dream world. He was confident she could pull it off. She was the smartest, and most beautiful goddess. He saw a smile creep on her face and he knew it must have been of their wedding. It was the happiest day of his life. It was the day he felt complete, the day the god of life felt alive for the first time in his life. All Mitus could do was grip his wife's hand and hope for the best. He prayed to her. It was the first time he prayed, the god of life and death never thought of anyone he needed to pry for. But today he prayed to her. He would trade his power for her if he could she deserved it more than him, she was a saint amongst the gods and deserved so much more. @Hikikomori

Melisande smiled as she heard the first prayer to her in her husband’s voice. Heartwarming as it was, a god’s prayer didn’t count, but she’d be doing a lot of thanking later. Then more started to pray to her, begging her for the life she’d shown so many. She felt her power starting to grow. Then the dream realm around her started to darken. “Domair? What’s happening?” She demanded, looking to the goddess. Her vision of her wedding and life with Mitus turned to nightmare. The reality warped. Instead of doting on her, Mitus was hurting her, making her work and do things she didn’t want to do. And the things he said to her…. It wasn’t visions of her husband, but the memory of Sol’s torment of her when she was mortal. The goddess of nightmares had found them and was meddling. @Mr. 9.5

(( @Mr. 9.5 @Hikikomori Hello! I noticed this RP hasn’t been responded to in awhile and I just wanted to check in to see if you two wanted to continue. Let me know either way!))
