Chapter 8

Years have passed by and Eros and Soul's love have grow even stronger. The two couples were always together and sometimes when princess Soul feels really bored of the palace, Eros will just carry her in his arms and fly her to the clouds were they can see what's happening down in the mortal realm. Princess Soul was always happy to see what was happening in her father's kingdom, how the people were living their lives, and the celebrations that occurs yearly. The kingdom was always peaceful, and nobody seem to be missing her. Soul who haven't seen her father for years suddenly got worried about him, and then she begged Eros to fly her to the cloud above her father's palace to see if he was doing better. Eros who didn't mind her request flew her to the cloud above the palace, and Soul who finally saw her father was immediately heartbroken to see him in such a terrible condition. Well, it turns out that the king feels guilty for the death of his beautiful daughter and if he didn't force her to pose as a goddess because of the benefits his kingdom will receive, he's daughter will still be alive and be the next ruler of his kingdom. The king who never had a son felt guilty that his family reign was going to end because of him. So, he wasted himself with wine and locked himself away from the people, while he gave the leadership of the kingdom to his friend.

So on seeing the state of her father Soul couldn't hold her tears, so she cried in front of Eros. Soul tears fell on the clouds and the cloud absorbed and multiplied her tears, which it later pour down to the kingdom as rain. Eros fly her back to his palace and comfort her, while he plans for a way she can see her father again without his mother or the goddess of trickery knowing that she is alive. So....as princess Soul lives in the comfort of Eros. Close to the underworld they is a palace of misfit were the goddess of trickery station herself. The goddess isn't happy that the two favours which the west wind gave to princess Soul haven't yet return to her. Normally, when somebody with a favour from a diety dies, the favour will come back to the original owner of the favours but in this case the favours of the goddess haven't yet come back to her. "Or was her soul delayed by Hades?" The goddess ask herself. "Well, I have to find out and get my favours back." She said as she set off to the underworld to ask Hades about Princess Soul Spirit. 

The goddess of trickery got to the underworld quickly with the help of her Griffin, a creature with the body of a lion, the head, wings and feet of a eagle. The goddess enter into the palace of Hades and request for him to tell her about what happened to princess Soul spirit. The god of the underworld wasn't in the mood to answer questions from a minor goddess, then he angrily request her to leave his palace. The goddess of trickery then knew that Hades wouldn't give her any information unless she give him something he will like. So, the goddess of trickery trick Hades and told him that if he tells her about what happened to Soul's spirit she will give him one of her most priced processions. Hades agreed and told her that princess Soul's spirit never came to the underworld and she is still very much alive. On hearing this, the goddess of trickery was beyond angry and then an idea came to her mind. So, because Soul had the beauty of a goddess she was going find princess Soul and offer her to Hades as her most priced procession and before doing this, she was going take her favours from her.

The goddess of trickery promised Hades that she will bring her most treasured procession soon and she left the underworld. The goddess went straight back to her palace and summoned the East wind. The East wind was the brother to the west wind, but they don't get along with each other. The goddess of trickery, then ask him about the Greek princess Soul and what happened to her the day she was supposed to be sacrificed. The east wind who wasn't present there at that time told her that he didn't know what happened to the girl. So, he requested to see Soul's picture so that he can find her in any part of the world. The goddess showed him a illusion of Soul Through her mirror and the deity was beyond amazed of the girls beauty so he stared at her illusion longer than he should. As he stared at it the east wind then suddenly remembered that he partly saw Soul with the god of love in the clouds looking down at mortal realm. The goddess of trickery was surprised that Soul was with Eros and wonder how she could fight a equipped god like Eros inorder to get princess Soul. She then recall that East wind told her that Soul was looking down from the clouds to the mortal realm, and this means that she is missing her father and her kingdom. "This can be a good way to capture that princess" she said to herself. "East wind! I need you to spy on Soul on Eros Palace." The goddess commanded East wind. "But it is against the rules for a gods to spy on a god" East wind reminded her. "I know that, and I want you to be careful when doing it. I just want to know if the princess is planning on coming to the mortal realm anytime soon" she said. "Okay I will do it for you, but you owe me one" the deity of the East wind said as he flew off.
