CHAPTER II

"Mom, dad" a young god called unto his parent with so much anguish. He was craving his mate and they knew that. "why wont you allow me go be with my mate, I need him mom and you know he needs me too." He knelt on the icy floor in the thrown room and draped his head onto his fathers lap. Lord Wincher caressed his son hair softly. They worried about their only son getting hurt, therefore forbid him from ever going to the mortal realm to be with his mate. He was a male for goodness sake and so was his mate. Which will make it extremely difficult for that stubborn king to accept him.

They didn't want this, god Wincher and his wife goddess Idrissa did not want their only child, mated to a man of that high arrogance. But he had insisted that he only wanted him, therefore making it a very difficult choice. He's a god, he could be mated with anyone of his choice but he still chose that jerk.

"You both know how much I've longed for him and how long I've had to wait for his birth. I've waited thousands of years for this moment, yet you're both keeping me away from him. Dont you want me to be happy? With all this yearning I might end up going insane." young god Erix said with so much pain in his voice.

His parents could feel his pain but were still besides themselves, scared of what that prick might do to hurt their only beloved son. It was hard enough that he'd have to leave them to live in the mortal realm but it was even harder that, that mate of his might never accept him due to his gender... It was unheard of in the entire kingdom of windris. the people might rebel not to think of that stubborn king never accepting the match.

"Of course we want you to be happy with your beloved but we all know how this Is going to begin and how it'll all come to an end. He wont accept you my love.. you know this as well." goddess Idrissa said in a worried tone, stroking his back lovingly. Letting go of her son was one thing but him going to that asshole was another thing she wasn't and will never be prepared for.

"I wont know if I dont try. I love him mother and i know that with the right amount of love and care he'll learn to love me too.. I have to help him find his way back to you again, I want to be able to educate him on how things happened, cause as it is now he blames the gods for all the bad things that happened to him. He has lost respect for you and everyone else because of those past incidents. Hes deteriorating mother, he needs me by his side to make things right.... please..." Erix pleaded with his parents desperately.

Lord Wincher who was sitting there in silence the whole time, only stroking his sons hair finally spoke, you could detect the sadness in his voice wholeheartedly, it couldn't be masked even if he intended to, "Okay but are you prepared to face all the challenges that comes with the choice you've made? Are you sure you can withstand the pain, the rejection, the agony thats to come with this particular mateship of yours?"

"I am dad.. more than anything else, am so ready" with voice of determination, Erix looked from his fathers lap to his face and there, Lord Wincher knew his son had never meant anything more.

Maybe they were being a little too over protective over him ever since that incident. Maybe it was about time that they allowed him to explore the mortal realm, to experience it so he could understand why They are as worried as they are.

The mother stroked her son's beautiful silver hair, which he inherited from his father as the god spoke. "Alright then, if you feel you're ready then you may go..But, remember you only have one year to make your mate fall in love with you. If he doesn't by the end of the year, you'll be brought back to choose a different mate. Do you understand?"

The young god was shocked by what was said, he wanted just one soulmate and that one person only, and that person was his current mate... nobody else. And so he was willing to do anything and everything to win his mates heart. He was willing to go to the moon and back just to see that happen, even if he had to be striped of all his powers.

"I do understand father. And you guys also need to promise me that within this one year you have given me, you wouldn't interfere in matters that concerns my mate and I, no matter the situation or problems between us.... I know it'll be tough but until that one year is over or until i win my beloveds love. you wont interfere. Please promise me." Erix said.

His parent stole side glances at each other before reluctantly agreeing to his demand. "Okay fine, we wont interfere in your love life. But don't you also forget that no matter what, he cant know you're a god and of your abilities until he has fully accepted you or there'll be consequences." Goddess Idrissa said to her son.

"Okay, now that we all agree on our terms, when can I leave?" the young god asked excitedly. You could see the brightened mood and happiness on his face. The way his eyes seem to have gain some sparkles in them made his parents hearts burst with joy, even though they were still worried, they were happy their child is happy.

The younger god couldn't wait to see his soulmate again..he could think of all the nice things they'll do together and all the places they'll travel to first in the mortal realm. Though forgetting that there was always a storm before the calmness.

He was all smiles, the older gods gave him weird looks. "Okay calm down jumpy, we need to fully prepare you first and send a message across to the chief priest to notify him of your coming.... From all the disturbances from the priest and what we're seeing, your mate is causing quiet a ruckus about you."
