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 entered The Betwixt and immediately second guessed my decision to come. It was like nothing I had ever experienced before; shadows clung to everything and rays of sunlight danced on the fog that seemed to come from every direction all at once. 


Before me was a great door made of onyx and inlaid with pearls and fine veins of gold. I wasn't positive, but I assumed it was the door I was searching for. Slowly, I approached it and raised my hand to knock before stopping. 


Did I really want to knock like some commoner?


Just then, the door unlatched and creaked open. A waft of smoke came out, some sort of incense that had floral notes to it. That was as much an invitation as any, so I pushed the door open the rest of the way and eased my way in.


Inside was a palace made of the same materials as the door; onyx, pearl and gold. It was lavish without being over the top, simple without being bare. I stepped in and clicked the large door shut behind me.
