Returning From The Past?

[persephony]

It was a long moment before the goddess would even make any movement. If a servant passed they would have seen a lifelike statue sitting there before two men. It wasn’t till she turned her attention to Kavan that a smile cracked over those full succulent lips, her hand lifting to come in place over his. “Be Patient. I know what you are thinking and what you feel. Just be patient, my dear Kavan.” Then before she came to speak to Ryu, then both together she locked eyes with him, her fingers coming to trial over his bottom lip and jaw line while that exotic voice sang to his mind. <In the Common Grounds of All Gods…Be Patient…>

Coming to lean back the warmth of her touch slid from his, her hands coming to rest in her lap till she sent those mysterious hues towards Ryu. “You may have ‘more power’ then me, but know this…never call yourself my superior again. Gods have good listening, remember that. And Next, if you are so superior then why do you need me?” her chin lifted in defiance, her words spoken in his direction chilled in the ice he thought coated her very existence. “Tell me that? And then tell me while you are at it, why you are so damn suicidal in your ways when sections of the world are in your control?”

She at back in wait for him to answer, but once he didn’t answer in mere seconds she continued forcing him to wait. “Also, we are on the mortal plane… keep your cool, Ryu, for your lack of patients and all these…creations of yours are a little upsetting. Each of your creations hold demi in them, and possibly immortality. We don’t need your seed swarming this word, so no more creations… but that isn’t the topic of tonight… first, allow us to eat.” Her hand lifts to be seen before them, a simple snapping of fingers produced a table with a feast fit for gods.

::Smiling he would just look to Persephony, then to the servents, he was quite happy now but then something made him slose his eyes and he would nod::

"Ryu... two of your children are not demi gods are they? They are full bloods..."

::He would shake his head growling slightly::

[ryuyogen]

He would nod ever so slightly. "Cambridge and Lai are full blood." He would look to Persephony and smile, something she had never seen him do toward her, at least genuine. "Persephony. How about this. We will respect one another. I am tired of the bickering between us. Niether of us are above the other. We are both gods. My children are none of your concern. If you wish to talk to a god about having so many children, talk to you all father, Zues."

[Lady Desari]

::she sat straight up in bed and paniced for a moment...Kahlan was missing...she closed her eyes and knew Sara had lept the children in their rooms...she gave a sigh of relief and slid from the bed...running her hands over her face, she reached out again and knew that they were all still there...in the hall but something had changed...something was different...walking to her dressing table she ran a brush thru her hair and padded barefoot down the stairs...she caught snippts of the conversation and paused as she heard the goddess admonish Ryu for all the children he had...she counted for a moment...Veedo, Lai and Hazen and Kahlan...wait...who was Cambridge? walking into the hall, she noticed Kavan and Persephony at the high table...brows went up as she saw the feast laid out before them...she wrapped her arms around her stomach and looked over to Ryu...she wanted answers...:: Who is Cambridge and if he is full blood as Vee is then tell me what your daughter is and what exactly she means to you? Because I will telll you exactly what she means to me... ::there was no sarcasim, no hate, no anger...just pain and tiredness::

[ryuyogen]

Looking to Desari, he would would simply dismiss her questions. Right now, she was nothing to him as those icy sapphire hues looked at her and she could feel his irritation and rage. From those eyes, hate did radiate undoubtedly. His thumb run across the hilt of Soulstealer at his side as he just stare at her, a sick grin crossing that face ever so slowly as he tossed his head to the side, his hair shifting to one side of his face as he turned his attention back to Persephony. ~Desari. Don't even speak unto me. My trust in you is nil now.~

As he sat there, he seemed to be growing quite tired, his eyes slowly drifting here and there as he just tried to eat. He hadn't slept since the rebirth, the body was fully exausted. Vincent had used so much power bring Lina to solid form earlier, teleporting, and reaccepting the true spirit of Ryu. He was one to push and push, never respecting the needs of his body. He would stay awake though. Persephony knew how to play mind games and he would catch anything she would say, even in twisted words.

[Desari]

::she actually laughed for a moment but when she looked to all three of them, her eyes were dull and lifeless...she questioned him and his emotions and now he was angry with her...oh that was rich...when she spoke, she did not use any mind link, her words were clear and once more full of pain...:: Your trust in me is nil? And you look at me with hate...Why? Because after everything that has happened I dare doubt you...Maybe isn't you I was doubting Ryu...Maybe it was me...Wondering how you could have ever been remotely attracted to me when you had all these women after you...More powerful then me...More beautiful...Self doubt is like a dieses...it eats at you and festers til you wonder if even a good mother...Did you even look at her Ryu or does your hate and anger blind you to her...Did you notice her hair and her eyes? she looks nothing like me...is nothing like me...she is more powerful then Isabeau...but no you do not see any of it...::she had finally noticed his thumb caressing the sword and with a quick glance to Kavan and Persephony, she fell to her knees and looked up to him...::would this make it easier Ryu...make it easier to slice open my chest and watch my blood flow across the stones...would it make it easier to deal with your anger and hate...because I doubted you when in reality I was doubting my self...gods after all this time you still don't understand...I thought you knew me...::she stayed there on her knees...gods what they must think of her now...she was suppose to be a strong woman...a warrior...a witch and a mother...but instead all she was a mortal woman to them...a nothing...she stretched her arms wide and let her head fall back...revealing the long white column of her neck...she closed her eyes and prayed he make her death quick...she was in too much pain to care anymore::

[persephony]

As Desari and Ryu began bickering she sighed, her never responding to their conflict. "And they say that his children are none of our concern..." She pushed herself up, her moving arond the table till she stood above Kavan. Leaning down her voice caressed his ear, the medalic voice ringing against his ear. "Follow me, mi amor." She didn't say anything else, just straigtened her moving towards Desari, her motioning her to stand.

As the goddess moved past her, a light glow fell over Desari, only to have words follow. "Strength is your virtue, weakness is not. Stand as you always have." The spell that was cast, Persephony did not even mention, her body slowly moving through the door her coming to fade from exsistance till she came to show her presences before the gardener in the garden.

The man gasped and his head as the winged goddess floated past im, leaing a feather behind to flutter to his feet. THe man glanced back towards ger then dashed down to pick it up, it was a good omen for him, but he didn't wait any longer before he dashed away to show his family.

Persephony came to a bush of red roses, fingertips grazing the velvet petals the red shrinking away leaving white roses in their place. IF Ryu was around he should remember one other with the love of white roses... but in her time of changing the peteals colors she was standing in wait for Kavan.

[kavancambridge]

::She wouldn't wait long for she would feel that holy aura as soon as he seemed to form from air behind her, both hands running down each of her arms affectionetly as his eyes looked over the roses. Smiling to himself he would let out a sigh::

"Yes Persephony?"

::His voice was loving for no one was around and a slight breeze would blow over them, his black hair to short to get in his face but hers getting shimmering and blwoing over his hands, his eyes closing as he felt the softness of her skin::

"You wished to speak with me."

[persephony]

"I do not mean to be co cold at times, Kavan. It is just it seems your brother to too stubburn to understand my ways or to even respect who I am." She leaned bacak agisnt him, the shimmering softness of her hair locked between them. Arms came to cross over her chest, her palms coming to cover over the back of his hands.

"And yourself... I apoligize for the lack of affection, but in all the time I have hid you from the other Gods, You should know I cannot show such affections towards you under the watching eye. Hades might be furious with me as it is." She peeked back at him, her offering a smile, before she tilted her body slightly so her lips may place a gentle kiss upon his bottom lip. "But please do not fear. Time will cure everything...even the broken hearts of mortals."

Turning back around she closed her eyes, the images of those aroudn her feeling her mind. From the cries of those with fever from the common cold, to those full of life and freedom that appreciate that in which is given to them. "Just remember one thing, Kavan. If the Greek Gods teach you nothing else... A God does die too, but we die from the mortals. Once they do not believe we fade away into nothingness... And one day that shall happen to us both. And that day might possibly be before this acoplyse in which you speak of with pride."

She fell into her silent ways, her taking his arms and placing them around her. "When you were mortal... were you blessed with a wife and children? Or were you haunted with images of the possible future that was taken from your grasp when you became what you are today?" Persephony never knew mortal life like Ryu and Kavan knew, she only knew the life of a God; living without fear, having a game with mortals as their chess pieces, and never knowing love or true companionship.

[Kolava]

It's good to see such a robust and healthy storyline on the boards.

I'm just posting to point out that "God" in the sense you are using it should be lowercase, because you're reffering to divine entities, not entities named "God". I'm motivated moreso out of respect for the English language than for Judeo-Christian tradition, though certainly the second should be considered.

Good luck with the rest of the storyline.
