Chapter 30

"....I have pass the test mother, please can you let me out of this place." Aphrodite begged as she look up. "...Come on, please let me out of this place." Aphrodite shouted again after not getting any replies from her. "...Damnit!" She shouted angrily and then turn her heads down.

"You should be a little patient sometimes my child." A voice from a glowing light said to her as it levitate close to her. "... Mother is that you?" Aphrodite ask, wondering why she in a round glowing ball. "...Yes! It's me child." The voice came out of the ball again, and then the bright glowing ball transform into the sharp of a woman, but she was still glowing. 

"....Mother it's you." Aphrodite shouted excitedly. "...of course it's me. Who else will it be?" The mother of fate ask her, but Aphrodite totally ignored her question and hugged her tightly. "...That is one grip you have there child." The mother of fate said, and then hug Aphrodite back.

"...I am so sorry for the things i have done, i am so sorry for letting evil consume me. I am...." Aphrodite got interrupted before she could complete what she was about to say. "... It's not your fault child. We all have our own personality, and yours was like that." The mother of fate cut in.

"But i...." Aphrodite wanted to explain again, but the mother of fate stopped her from speaking. "....No! Child. You may think you were the one who did all that but actually you didn't. The evil inside you was the one controling you the all time, and all that was also happening because of the Prophesy." The mother of fate said to Aphrodite.

".... What prophesy? I heard that they were a prophesy but i you haven't still explain what this prophesy is about, and why me, my son, that mortal, Dusa, and her partner are part of it." Aphrodite ask after withdrawing back from here.

"You will know about the prophesy soon, i just want to gather you all together and explain why i created the new prophesy, and why you all her part of it." The mother of fate said, and this made Aphrodite really confuse.

".... Gather us up? Mother my....son is dead, and that demon Dusa fell Inlove with is also dear. Dusa or that mortal isn't here, so how i you going to gather us up?" Aphrodite ask as tears gather her eyes after she remembered Eros.

"It's okay child, you don't have to cry." The mother of fate comforted her. "...They are a lot of things you don't know yet, but be patient. You will receive what you deeply desire." The mother of fate said and then stretch out her hands to her. "...come, they is something i want to show you." The mother of fate said, and Aphrodite immediately hold her hands.

"...but mother are you taking me to go and see Dusa?" Aphrodite ask, feeling worried of what Dusa may say or do to her after what she did to her.

"Kind off!" The mother of fate gave her a straight, but incomplete reply and then they both began to glow brighter, and brighter still they eventually vanished away from the white room to the mother of fate domain.

"Woah! I have totally forgotten how captivating this place is." Aphrodite said as she appears in the mother of fate domain. "...Yes! This place is where i use to watch and control every living beings fate in universe. "....Yeah! I knew, but i ever knew that it was this bigger." Aphrodite said as she look round the place in amazement. 

The place was filled with bright glowing lights with different colours, and they were small round balls which show activities of different gods, mortal and demons. 

".... You haven't enter my domain since the falling of your sister millions of years ago. Well, for those million of years, humans, demons, and even gods populated the earths and all it's bodies. So, whenever any being is born, so as his or her fate." The mother of fate explained to Aphrodite with a magical illustration.

"....Oh! I see!" Aphrodite nod her heads to signify that she understand what she just said. "...but why bring me here?" Aphrodite ask her. "...i brought you here to witness your sister and her reincarnation go through their test." Aphrodite said as one of the round ball levitate towards her.

"...Yeah!" The mother of fate said as she points the ball. "...Dusa?" Aphrodite ask as she walks closer to the ball. "....Wait! They are feasting?" Aphrodite ask as she looked into the ball. "...Yes! They are for now." The mother of fate said to her. 

"...The way you said that, is something bad going yo happen?" Aphrodite ask as she stare at her mother. "Let's find out then." The mother of fate said and use her magic to increase the side of the fate ball so that they can see everything that is going happen very well.

BACK IN DUSA'S AND SOUL'S TEST.

"Oh! I am full!" Soul shouted after eating as many fruits in the dinning table. "...Mortal!" Dusa grumbled in her mind. "...you bare ate anything. Don't gods eat?" Soul ask Dusa. "...we eat, but not fruits! We eat humans." Dusa lied, trying to stared Soul. "...Nah! I have been with Eros for years, we would have told me that gods eat humans to survive." Soul confidently said to Dusa. "... We don't eat humans, but we eat humans yearly festival sacrifices to her." Dusa revealed.

"...so you don't eat food or fruits at all?" Soul ask as she pick up a berry. "...we do eat those, if we want to." Dusa firmly said. "...Okay! Okay! It looks like you don't want to talk. I get that." Soul said, and kept quiet. "... it's not like i don't want to chat with you mortal! I am just anxious to know what our test is about, and why it haven't commence yet." Dusa said, and pour herself some glass of wine.

"...If you drink more wine, you will get drunk!" Soul warned her. "... quiet mortal! We gods don't get drunk." Dusa replied her, and then drink more wine.

"....and personally i think our test will...." Soul wanted to say something, but then the table began to shake furiously, and this cut her words short.

".... what's that?" Soul ask as she try to use her feet to confirm if an earthquake was going to occur. "...That shaking sound isn't coming from the ground." Dusa cut in as she stares to the skies of the fake paradise which was slowly opening up. "...then where is it coming from?" She ask her, but got no reply from Dusa.

"....I am not taking any chances!" Dusa angrily said and then conjure up her magically weapon. "...Take this!" Dusa said, as she also conjure up a dagger for soul. "... What's the weapons for? What is going on?" Soul try to ask again, but Dusa totally ignore her, and just stare at the splitting sky. "....what is going on?" Soul quietly said to herself as she turn her focus to the sky. 

"...what is that?" Soul ask as she barely sees two angle like creatures fly down from the splited sky. "...Come let's go and check what was those things." Dusa said to Soul as she walks to the place were the two angle like figures landed. "....are you sure we should head towards those things, we don't even know what they look like. What if they are huge demons." Soul try to convince Dusa to stay back with her words.

"...If they are demons then we have to kill those demon to pass the test, and get out of this place." Dusa confidently replied soul as she walks into the forest in the paradise. "...fine! Okay!" Soul said, and reluctantly follow Dusa into the forest. 

"...Woah! They are countless flowers and plants i haven't seen before in my kingdom here, too bad i can' t smell them." Soul said as she walk through the forget with Demon. "...How! Look at this beauty." Soul shouted and then pick up a very rare follow that can't be found in the mortal realm. "...Wait! This flowers has...." Soul wanted to say something important but Dusa interrupted her. 

"....will you be quiet? For all we know those things that cane out of the sky may be lurking around here, and your voice may give away our presence to them. So please be quiet!" Dusa shouted at Soul with a quiet tone. "Sorry, i am sorry....jezz!" Soul said, and then put the flower inside the hands of her dress.

"...Now let's see what those things are!" Dusa said as she slowly remove a tree branch, and saw a open field with a man standing at the middle of it. "...Wait! Isn't that....?" Dusa who was completely shocked said. "... Wait! That's Eros!" Soul shouted excitedly after sighting Eros at the middle of the field. "... It is him." Soul with tears all over her eyes shouted again, and was about to run to him, but Dusa grabbed her. "...Stop!" Dusa shouted as she holds Soul in the arm. "...let me go to him, he is standing right there!" Soul shouted and struggles to free herself from Dusa's grip. "...Have you forgotten what i told you?" Dusa ask. ".... Everything here are fake, they are just well placed illusion and so as he." Dusa try to explain to Soul, but she wouldn't listen. 

"....If you saw Zadre too, will you also say he is fake?" Soul ask her, and she kept quiet. "...fine! You want to meet him so bad, Come on!" Dusa said as she grab Soul out of the forest into the open field. 

"Ero!" Soul shouted to him, and he looked at her without saying anything. "...Eros it's me!" Soul shouted again, and this time he began to walk towards them. "...You see? He isn't fake is still remembers me." Soul said to Dusa, but she isn't convince that Eros is the real Eros.

"..Stay back!" Dusa shouted to him, after noticing the way he was walking towards them like a Zombie. "...What? No! Don't stay back." Soul shouted. "... Can't you see?!" Dusa shouted to her. ".... can't you see how he is walking, that's not the real Eros!" Dusa added, but soul who was took blinded with love ignored what she was saying.

"...I don't believe you...so leave me alone!" Soul shouted and manage to release herself from Dusa's grip. "Waittt!" Dusa shouted to Soul as she runs towards Eros. "Eros! I finally get to see you again." Soul quietly said to herself as she runs towards Eros, but he then unexpectedly took an arrow from his quiver and aim it's shot at Soul.

"...Eros it's me!" Soul thought to herself as she sees the way he pointed his arrow at her. "DIE!" Eros shouted as he released it's hands from his bow, and his arrow flew directly to soul. 

"EROS!" Soul stopped running and shouted with tears dropping from her eyes after seeing him released his hands from his bow. "No!" She quietly said, and waits for the arrow to hit her, but Dusa intervene by hitting the arrow away from soul before it could hit her. 

"AHHH!" Soul shouted and close her eyes, thinking that Eros' arrow touch her. "... It's alright mortal!" Dusa said to her, and then she opened her eyes. "...what did i just tell you?" Dusa said while still looking at Eros who was putting more arrows into his bow.

"...He wanted to kill me." Soul softly said to herself. "That is not the real Eros." Dusa said to Soul. "...i am pretty sure he may be one of my mothers servant sent here for the test, or maybe a demon who wants go kill us." Dusa explained to Soul.

"...so that's not the real Eros?" Soul ask as she look at him very well. "... here that thing is just using his looks." Dusa replied her. 

"...Hey! Want her you?!" Dusa step forward and shouted at it, but it just stand still and stare at her. "Are you a demon or just a servant sent by my mother?" Dusa ask again, but the fake Eros replied her with a creepy smile.

 "... You don't wanna talk huh?!" Dusa shouted to him. "...I will make you talk when i beat the life out of you." Dusa boldly said to him.

"Hahahaha!" The fake Eros laughed. "...You think you can defect me?" He said to them. "He has Eros voice, are you...." Soul wanted to say something but the fake Eros Interrupted her. "... Soul it's me, it's Eros." The fake Eros immediately change his mood and tone to look friendly.

"...I know it isn't you Eros." Soul said with a sad tone. "...I watch you die, you ain't the real Ero!" Soul confidently said to him, and his mood change. 

"... Hahahaha! You two are quiet something, you can tell who is real from who is not." The fake Eros said to them. "....now we know that you are a fake. Show us your true form." Dusa commanded. "..Why will i do that?" The fake Eros said to them, and this made Dusa really angry.

"...Okay! Fine! I will show you two my real form, but before i do that i will make sure you two are almost dead." The fake Eros said and began to laugh.

"...You overestimate yourself demon." Dusa said to him and then brought out the blades in her chains. "... It's just one of you, and two of us." Dusa added. "...You wouldn't stand a chance." Dusa confidently said to him.

 "Hahahaha! You think you can take me down?" The fake Eros said to her. "...Or have you forgotten how i almost killed you back in that your incomplete world?" The fake Eros who also has some of the real Eros memories said.

"How. Did. You?" Dusa asks. "... well i also have the memories of Eros too. Isn't that amazing?" The fake Eros said as he observe he's hands. 

"... Wait! Eros tried to kill you? When did this happened?" Soul ask Dusa, but she ignored her question. 

"....You are going to die by my blades!" Dusa shouted to him. "...We will see about that outcast goddess." The fake Eros insulted Dusa and this made her really angry.

"...You DARE!?" Dusa shouted in anger as she flies towards Eros with her chains tightly warp around her hands so that she can kill him without a single hit.

"Wait! Stop!" Soul shouted as Dusa flies towards Eros but she totally ignored her.

"DIEEEEE!" Dusa shouted as she flies closer to the fake Eros, but before she could hit him with her chains, a fire blast from above struck her down. 

"What da...?" Dusa who was barely hit by the blast said, and she stand back up from the ground. "... Wait! That magic. I recog......" Dusa words was cut short by the fake Eros laughter.

"...Well i forgot to tell you, i am not the only one here." The fake Eros said after he stopped laughing. "Nooo!" Dusa and Soul said in Unison as they stare at Zadre levitating down to the ground.

"Zad...." Dusa wanted to call out of him, but she remembered that he wasn't real either. "...Come here!" The other Zadre said to Dusa as he reaches his hands to her even if they were further away from each other.

"...I know... you ain't real!" Dusa shouted in pain, and a huge magical force blast out of her. This hits the two fake gods, and gave Dusa a chance to restrict get as far away from them.

"..Are you alright?" Soul ask her, as she saw Dusa suddenly standing close to her. "....I am fine." Dusa gave her a straight reply. 

"...so how are we going to defect those two?" Soul ask while pointing her stagger at their direction. "... I don't know." Dusa replied her, and this shocked Soul.
