Priestess Of The Land

"...a God?" murmured Tria, she did not notice the behavior of the two. She was busy thinking about how the hell she would deal with a God, and besides what would a God want with priestesses?

"Why would a God want a priestess for? If he is already a God, what benefits could he possibly gain?" she asked.

"Ha! The God realm is no different from this world, everyone wants power. Low-level Gods want to ascend into High-level Gods, and High-level Gods are fighting to be that one ultimate God who reigns all the Gods; the God of Gods. There has only been one so far, only by beating him can the next ultimate God be created."

"God of Gods? Does he reign over the other Gods? Can't he stop all this madness from happening?"

"As if...he turned a blind eye to everything that is happening. Even with war occurring, he has not made a move, and he is just as immoral. That is why some of the Gods are consuming so much pure energy."

"And a lowly priestess is what will help them?" she scoffed, although she knew that Hoth was telling the truth, she could not help but mock these supposed 'Gods'.

Hoth understood her reaction and so, he further explained," A priestess is not a lowly being. In order to ascend to a higher power, Gods consume the purity of the world until they break through. That is why Gods and Goddesses have many human female and male concubines but will touch them only once, as ordinary beings become unpure after one time. However, a priestess has unlimited purity, a God would not need a house of wives, just one priestess will do."

"Back in the day," he continued, "some of the ancient priestesses were coerced into marrying some gods, thinking it was love until they made it into the God of Realm, and realized it was all a lie. Somehow it was made known of the Gods' plans in this realm and the priestesses had started shunning the Gods from entering their domain. That is when the kidnappings started happening, and the killing of priestesses, because they would not obey the Gods. What the Gods did not expect was for them to get rid of their power, and only chose one person to wield it as they protected her with their lives. The priestesses ended up losing that fight however, and that one chosen priestess died hanging herself, which was supposed to end that era."

"But it did not..." said Tria.

"No, it didn't. Priestesses would awaken every other generation and would help the people as much as they could. The Gods did not believe the rumors, however as the awaken priestesses became known for their miracles, the Gods decided to come down everytime a priestess would awaken. Most think their disappearance was because they had died, however, they were only taken away to become a God's plaything, "Hoth said but this time his sorrow had become greater.

Tria had an idea of what must have happened to Hoth's lover, however, she shook it off. Hoth was a god unless the Gods would steal each other's lovers, then that was a lot different story.

Hoth saw the awkward expression on Tria's face and laughed at himself.

"Yes, she was taken away...well she gave herself away for my safety. I am but a lowly God, if a high-level God wanted to kill me, it'd be easy. She...she helped me separate my memories and securing them in those places, and put me to sleep at Luna Lake. Everyone's memories were wiped away, and no one knows of how red a moon that night was. I was supposed to be woken up by her....she sealed away this memory until now, but she told me she was going to be gone."

"I'm so sorry," Tria said.

"It's alright...she is still alive."
