Venera's Tome

"Esteemed Bringer of Death, Current Death Reaper, we welcome you to the Eipea Empire," an orchestra roared amidst the golden sparkle of a richly decorated reception hall. Gods and goddesses, yellow gaze swallowed by darkness; Zeus and his entourage busied themselves. 

  "A welcome from the lord of Darkness?"

  "Please do no fret," added a very lavishly dressed Lixbin, "-we have no intentions of foul-play. Today's the day of the reunion, the bound of Zeus and Artanos," he held his glass high and drank wholly. Last events played. The memories of the final battle, not of life or death, but the battle for agreement. A fight between the current and last incarnation. Lixbin broke from Undrar and headed towards finely picked flowers. The palace regained much of its vigor. Zeus and Artanos pleased themselves, the duo hogged spotlights. The scene came from a fairytale, or so it seemed. A gala, whereupon the princess finds her prince charming.
