Helemoira has been High Priestess to the God of Death and Reclamation since she first came of age. In her ascension rite, she married a stand-in for her God, a half-fae half-vampire named Pelleas, who absolutely adores her. Up until recently, she has lived a calm life in her temple with her priestesses, tending to her God's Forest.

Geien, the God of Death and Reclamation, uninterested in life or anything outside his realm, finds Helemoira fascinating and unique, and simply can't stop watching her every move. When the other Gods try to stop him, he realizes that Helemoira is much more than a simple priestess to him. She is his obsession.

A God's Obsession: The Rebellious Priestess

I ran as if my life depended on it, the storm raging above like something from my nightmares. Once I was out of sight of Geien, I didn't look back. I was too afraid of what I might see.


My bare feet pounded into the dirt beneath me as I sprinted towards the temple. It would be at least two days before I reached it, even moving as fast as I was. I knew I would have to stop and rest soon, my lungs already stinging, but I didn't dare stop now.


The sounds of metal clanging came from behind me and I shut my eyes against the onslaught of tears. My pace slowed as I fought the urge to turn back around and go to Geien. 


It was a silly thought. Yet, it was one that plagued me. There was nothing I could do against two Gods, I would only get in the way. At least, that's what I told myself as I sobbed and dodged each root and wayward branch. 


More sounds of metal meeting metal, then a mighty yell followed by a booming thunder that sounded like an avalanche.
