GODS - THE BANISHMENT

" Father.... father... " a kid kept shouting below as Helen began climbing the stairs . Helen turned down n saw a child looking for his father in the hut. The kid searched and kept yelling but could not find his father . Tears rolled down as she could not bear the sight . She had to do something to axe the guilt . She was on the stairs to heaven . Then , with confused taughts squeaking her head , she took out her ring , the ring the lord had given her , the holy ring of void . None knew the extent of power and story that came with the ring . She took it out and held it firmly in right hand and wisphered " I am sorry to abandon you but I need you now , that kid there is all alone , take good care of him , make him strong enough to face the world and then you can return to the void "and let it down the water .

The ring sank below then came onto the surface of water and soon it started rushing towards the kid . It then came to him and bound itself onto his left ring finger so firmly and so bounded by the lady's words that none could take it out until it wanted to go . The kid was shocked and kept trying to pull the ring away but it was all in vain . Meanwhile the lady had reached the gates of REVINUS .

"Come soon lord , the lady is being held for her trail , she needs you " said the janitor to TARUS .

He rushed to the hall as the rest of the gods did .

All of them kept whispering words about the disgraceful act which was untrue . TARUS rushed to the hall and saw the lady standing with guards beside and Gods off their seats and the lord on his throne with anger that was seen by blood gushing through his veins . TARUS went forward to speak in defence of the lady "my lord please" " stop it TARUS " interrupted PRIMUS . TARUS walked back quietly and saw Riza standing on the other side of the hall with a wicked smile staring at him . TARUS knew it was all craft work of the wicked goddess .

"To all the gods here , is this who we would be proud to call the queen ? , is the lady we would want to be the one giving birth to the lord's heir ? , such a shame and lady Helen , is this why you would visit the land for days ? " spoke one of the gods who seemed to play the strings of riza .

" wizak , you snake , what are you trying to do " TARUS spoke to himself . "Stop it wizak " riza spoke out in the hall , " is this how you treat a woman , respect her , this might just be a misunderstanding " . Helen felt hope , she looked up and smiled at riza , riza smiled back . PRIMUS started to try and force his mind to think the not so bad way . But , riza's smile turned solemn , Helen was confused and scared . Riza spoke " but my queen , where is the ring my brother gave you , I don't see it on your finger , it is supposed to mean everything for a married woman " .

PRIMUS stood up shocked and more angry than ever , his body shivering with temper , eyes sky white " where is it ?" He asked in an impulsive voice . Helen did not reply . " I said where is the bloody ring ?" He Shouted . " I gave it to the child whose father you had murdered " spoke back Helen . PRIMUS was taken aback , he sat back on throne and spoke " I really did love you , from all my heart , I wished every moment that it turns out to be a lie , but you proved it true . World knows now , I cannot be a god who has a wife such as you , the hall speaks against you , you care enough for someone else's child to give away my ring that makes me have thoughts about whose child you will be giving birth to ". Helen was shocked to hear such words , the whole crowd heard his words . Helen was filled with anger and rage , she was ashamed before the gods , she could hear the murmurs scratching through her head .

"You are no god to me , neither is anyone present in this place , I stand before you hoping for you to accept me realising it's all a mistake but , you take my innocence as guilt and accuse me of untrue crimes " Helen spoke out with tears " this is your child PRIMUS " . PRIMUS's fury was not vanished , he stood up came to her and told " you dare disrespect me before the hall , this might be my child but he will never get to call me father " as he said this he pulled the bracelet off her hand , the leaf which had turned to bracelet turned back . And Helen knew she will be down in no moment and with no regret smiled , she smiled at PRIMUS and told "may the hall keep you happy " and vinished .

As she opened her eyes , Helen found herself on the banks of river , she stood up and could not see the steps , she knew she could never go to REVINUS . So she walked , she walked away smiling , for this was not the end . The future lays ahead , future of her child .
