Chapter 108: The Messenger

Zion and Cole went outside the hotel to investigate while Grakar stayed near Azalea to protect her if anything bad happened.

Amaris sat on the couch again, thinking about Eiris.

"You're in deep thought. Is there something bothering you?" Diana asked while sitting across her.

Zoila, Maxine, and Shelly followed, joining the two in the living room.

"I was thinking of Eiris. Zion said that she wasn't a messenger of the Gods before. Do you know what happened?" Amaris asked curiosity piqued.

"Well, she was punished like the Fire God, Ignus, and the Water Goddess, Aqua." Zoila started.

"By Maka?" Maxine asked, who became interested in Eiris as well.

"No. By Terra. Eiris was one of the most beautiful goddesses of the sea and the sky. Before she became the messenger of the Gods, she was very fond of Terra, which was called Earth back then." Diana replied.

"What happened?" Maxine asked again.

"Eiris lived peacefully in the Rainbow Village. As a Goddess, she would travel to Terra at the speed of the wind from one side to the other. She was portrayed in different ways. Sometimes as a rainbow or a young woman with wings. The rainbow signifies hope for Terrans, so she traveled back and forth after every storm." Diana started telling Eiris's story.

"The Fire God, Ignus noticed her and was mesmerized by her beauty. He tried to pursue her, but Eiris didn't like Ignus. The Goddess Terra wanted to help her brother, so she befriended Eiris and set up a meeting between the two. Rumor said that Eiris insulted Ignus that made the Fire God mad and forced himself to Eiris."

"I heard that story from my mother. I didn't know it was true." Zoila commented.

"Well, no one knows if it's true. They were the only ones on that day. Eiris told the Mother God Maka about what Ignus did to him. She persuaded Terra to side with her. But the Earth God didn't know that Ignus would do something like that. He's her brother, so of course, Terra didn't believe Eiris."

"Did Ignus go into trial?" Maxine asked.

The Gods who committed sin will go into trial, and if proven guilty, they will be cast out of Caelum. They will either live as mortal and die or be imprisoned in Tartarus.

"Yes. But Ignus said that Eiris agreed to it. He made it look like it was consensual. Terra also testified that Eiris knew that she would be meeting with Ignus. That part was actually correct. Eiris agreed to meet Ignus but only to reject him properly. In the end, Eiris lost, and as punishment, Maka made her the messenger of the Gods." Diana continued.

"I don't really see it as punishment. I mean, she would only come to Terra to relay a message. It's not that hard." Shelly commented.

"It's hard for her. One of Eiris' tasks, when she was still a goddess, was to punish those who lied. Maka believed she lied about Ignus, so she turned her into a messenger to relay only the truth. She could never lie. So even if the message would cost harm or pain to someone, it should be forwarded." Diana answered.

"So that was the reason she hated Terra?" Amaris asked.

Diana nodded. "Yes. Although Ignus no longer exist, Eiris could never forget that Terra betrayed her. She was happy when Maka punished her own son and took his power, but she could not forgive Terra."

"Did Eiris know that the Fire God's power was transferred to Zion?" Amaris asked again.

Zoila frowned. "Why do you ask?"

"I heard that if a God or Goddess had an ill-feeling towards their own, they could recognize them even if the one in the wrong is already dead. They are attracted to their powers, so it's a possibility that Eiris knew that Zion inherited Ignus' elemental power." Amaris answered.

"I don't think so. The last time we saw Eiris was when she gave Zion the mirror. It didn't look like she was attracted to him." Zoila said.

They were disturbed by someone who came running inside the suite. It was Azalea followed by Grakar.

"I found her!" The little fae shouted.

Amaris suddenly became interested to see Eiris. She felt like something would happen once Zion meet with the messenger of the Gods.

"Where is she? I want to meet her." Amaris said.

Diana glanced at Maxine and Zoila, who were also looking at each other.

"Why do you want to meet her?" Shelly asked.

"Ari, if you won't tell us, we can't help you." Maxine said while looking directly into her cousin's eyes.

Amaris pouted. "It's just a woman's intuition. I think the reason she's here is because of Zion. Or maybe one of the reasons."

"Are you suspecting that she has a thing with my brother?" Zoila asked.

"Not to your brother, but the Fire God's power. What if she already knew about it? Zion might get caught in between because of Eiri's desire to get revenge on Ignus. I want to make sure, so I know how I could protect my man." Amaris answered.

"Then let's go and meet her." Zoila said and stood up.

"Where are you going?" It was Elwyn, the Elven Prince.

"Azalea found Eiris so we're going to see her. We might lose her if we waited for Zion and Cole." Zoila answered.

Before Elwyn disagreed with their decision, they heard a knock on the door. 

Grakar, Elwyn, and Zoila positioned themselves as if they would attack someone.

"Who is it?" Elwyn asked while holding his bow and arrow.

They didn't hear an answer, but the door's bang continued, and it was louder this time.

Elwyn glanced at Grakar and Zoila, then nodded at them before slightly opening the door. He was surprised to see a woman standing in front.

"Who are you? What do you want?" He asked.

"I came here to see the Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack." The woman answered.

Amaris heard what the woman said, so she walked towards the door. She knew it was Eiris and wanted to see for herself, but Elwyn suddenly grabbed her hand. 

Zoila saw it but turned her eyes away from the two. She could see Elwyn's affection and worried face towards Amaris.

"It's fine." Amaris murmured.

Elwyn nodded then opened the door to let the guest in.

The woman walked elegantly inside the suite. She was wearing a white satin dress paired with a denim jacket. Her eyes were green like emeralds; her hair was black and skin as white as snow. She looked like a Goddess. No wonder Ignus fell in love with her. Amaris thought to herself.

Eiris looked around the room and gazed at everyone inside. She stopped and stared at Amaris, who was already back in her seat.

"You're the Luna of the Blue Moon Pack. The halfling."

Amaris frowned when she heard Eiris' words. It was an insult and not a compliment.

"Indeed I am. So what do you want with my Alpha?" Amaris asked after sipping her tea.

Eiris smirked. "I'm here to take him with me."

"What?" It was Zoila who had a more shocking expression than Amaris.

Amaris chuckled. "What made you think he would come with you?"

"I believe I don't have an obligation to answer your question. I'm here for the Alpha and not you."

The others didn't like the way Eiris talked to their Luna. Zoila was beginning to get mad, and so was Grakar.

Amaris raised her hand, signaling them to stop.

"Eiris, if you believe that you can't tell me about the reason you were looking for Zion, you won't come in here that easily. I know you know what everyone is capable of. I could order everyone to attack you or keep you in here."

"And you're confident that they will follow you?" Eiris asked, still feeling highly to herself.

"Why would you think they won't? Grakar, the Elven Prince, Diana, my cousin Maxine and Azalea were all my protrea. They're here to protect me and not Zion. And even if they don't obey me, I could do it myself."

Eiris laughed. She didn't believe that Amaris could capture her without her protrea's help. But to her surprise, she suddenly couldn't move.

"W-What did you do to me?" She almost yelled, which shocked everyone.

"I just want you to know your place. I don't care who you are or who you work for. You could never take Zion away from me." Amaris said.

Eiris noticed that everyone in the room started walking backward, away from her and Amaris. When she looked at the Luna again, her eyes were red, and a black energy was coming out from her body.

"W-What are you?" She asked, trembling.
