Chapter 41

"...We are going to destroy it from the inside." Dusa replied him. "... That's impossible. Our magic can't blast through it from outside, how are we going to destroy it from the inside?" Eros ask her. "...We don't have to destroy it from outside to get inside. We can just destroy it from the inside out, with the arrows on Soul's quiver." Dusa explain to him. 

"...How is Soul going to destroy the forcefield with the arrows in her quiver, when she don't have her bow with her?" Eros ask Dusa. "...See upper god, if you want to rescue your love, you better think more positive!" Duda shouted at him. "...sorry, i am sorry. I am just really worried about soul, and i am pretty sure my mother would have already told her the secret." Eros said, and turn to look at the Forcefield. 

"...What secret?" Dusa ask Eros, but he kept quiet. "...Eros, what secret!?" Dusa asks again. "...Okay!" Eros said, and turn to her. "...Years or probably decades ago, my mother sent me to do something in the mortal realm, and the place in the mortal realm she sent me to was soul's father's kingdom." Eros said, and continue speaking. "....At that time i didn't know soul, or anything about her." Eros added, and turn to the Forcefield. 

"...so... go on!" Dusa who was curious to know what the secret is, said to him. "....The tasks my mother spent me to do, is to shoot Soul with one of my love arrows, so that she will fall inlove with a demon, who plaques the wastelands of their kingdom. She said if i do this, the people in soul's kingdom will hate her, and she will also be killed by the demon. She said it's the perfect punishment for her because she stole away her worshippers with her beauty." Eros said, and kept quiet. 

"...My sister really send you to that?" Dusa said to Eros. "... Didn't she know that Soul was my reincarnation at that time?" Dusa ask another question. "... Strangely, no. I don't think she knew soul was your reincarnation." Eros replied her. "...I am sure she knew. She is the most powerful goddess after all, so of course she will know what her the face of the person who she thinks stole her worshippers look like." Dusa added. "...Did my sister tried to kill soul, just because she saw her face and find out that she was my reincarnation?" Dusa quietly ask herself. 

"...I doubt that." Eros said to her. "...If mother knew soul was your reincarnation, she wouldn't have spent me to shoot you with a love arrow, when you were already inlove with Zadre. The arrows wouldn't have work." Eros said. "...Yeah! But at that time, my conscience was still lock inside soul, so the arrows would have still work on me." Dusa said, and frowned. "...You don't know your mother, and the countless times she have tried to kill me. So i wouldn't be surprise that she knew i soul was my reincarnation and she wanted to get rid of her, and me." Dusa said, and this time Zadre move closer to her. 

"....Okay! What are you two discussing? Shouldn't we be trying to rescue Soul for that thing?" Zadre said as he points at the Forcefield.

"...Okay! What happened next?" Dusa ignored what Zadre just said. "... What's next?" Zadre asks. "...Soul is trap in that strange forcefield created by your sister, and your mother, and you guys are hear discussing." Zadre said to them. 

"...Eros is telling me how he met Soul." Dusa said to Zadre. "...How he met soul? That's not important, we have to save her from your mother." Zadre turn to Eros, and said. "... It's important, i have to know." Dusa firmly said. "...Okay! Continue, when my sister spent you to shoot soul with the love arrows what happened next?" Dusa ask him. 

"....My mother sent me to shoot soul with the love arrows, and i immediately left to carryout the task. I got to soul's room one night, and i saw soul for the first time. She was sleeping soundly in her bed, and her beauty instantly got my attention." Eros revealed. "... Okay! What happened next? Did you succeeded?" Dusa asks him, while Zadre just stare at them, trying to understand what they were taking about.

"...Well, i was so distracted by Soul's beauty, that when she suddenly turned in her bed i thought she was waking up from her sleep, and i mistakenly removed my hands from the love arrow already set in my bow." Eros narrated. "...So? Who did the loves arrows hit? Did it hit her?" Dusa immediately ask him. "...Okay! What are you gods talking about? And why is soul part of this story?" Zadre who couldn't stand the fact that he do not know what their talking about, pitched in.

"...Fine! My nephew over here is explaining to me how he met soul for me fight time, and how he's mother tried to kill her, but sending him to shoot her with his love arrows that will make her to fall inlove with a demon." Dusa explained to him. ".. Okay! How will any of that, free her from that strange forcefield?" Zadre ask Dusa. "... It wouldn't." Eros firmly said, and turn to Dusa.

"...The arrow i accidentally shot out of my bow, struck me, and i immediately fell inlove with soul." Eros revealed. "...so wait! You never love her? The only reason you love, and saved soul in the pass was because you were spelled by your own love arrows?" Dusa asks him. "....I saved Soul because i love her." Eros said. "...yeah! You love her because you shoot yourself with your own love arrow. That type of love isn't genuine." Dusa said to him.

"..I bet you didn't tell soul any of this." Dusa added. "...Of course i didn't. If i tell her that i fell inlove with her because i shot myself with a love arrow, she wouldn't want to be with me, and i love her so much that i can't let her go." Eros said, and look at the Forcefield. "...I have to rescue her from that thing, and explain to her that i love her even though i was shot by my love arrows." Eros said. "...What if you don't genuinely love soul, and the only reason you are doing all of this is because you mistakely spelled yourself with your own love arrow?" Dusa ask him, and he kept quiet.

".....my love arrows were design and created to make any mortal or immortal fall inlove. I really don't know is the love it gives to the them anytime they are stuck with it is genuine, but the love i have for Soul is genuine and i belief that." Eros said, and face Dusa. "...So how are we going to use soul's arrows to destroy that forcefield from the inside?" Eros asks her. "....Okay! I am going to control the arrows with my mind, and hope it do exactly what i want it to do. If i succeed in this, then the Forcefield will blast open from the inside, and soul will definitely fall out of it because she don't have any powers. So, nephew you will catch her when she falls while me and Zadre will try to retrain...you mother." Dusa explained, and close her eyes.

"...How are you going to control an arrows that's inside a quiver, and in a strange forcefield with your mind? Is your powers up for that?" Zadre ask her. "...Of course." Dusa said while still closing her hands. "...Wait isn't mind....." Zadre was about to say something but Dusa Interrupted him with her words. "..Look! The arrows i am about to control with my mind was also one of my spirit weapons. I gave it to soul because she told me that she was good at archery." Dusa said, and Zadre kept quiet.

"...Soul was really good at archery so i left my spirit weapon with her." Dusa said. "...Okay! Please carry on." Zadre softly said, and kept quiet. 

"...Soul, i am coming to save you." Dusa said, and take a deep breath. "....Okay! Now!" Dusa shouted, and her hair began to levitate. "....Yes, yes." Dusa whisper to herself, as she sees soul, the arrows in her quiver, and also Aphrodite walking towards her. 

"...So mortal how do you feel after hearing the truth?" Aphrodite ask soul, with a smile on her face. "...Just stay away from me, okay!" Soul raised her head, and shouted to her while tears still drips from her eyes. "...You mortal, you dare shout at me?" Aphrodite said to soul, and was about to grab her again in her neck, but this time Soul quickly brought out a arrow from her quiver, and stab Aphrodite with it before she could grab her. "...You...you mortal!" Aphrodite said, and step backward a little after soul stabbed her. "...I am sick of you gods and your bullying." Soul boldly said to Aphrodite, and wipe the tears on her face. 

"....You mortal, you stab me on my stomach. You will...." Aphrodite words were cut short from the pain from the wound created by the arrow. "... AHHHHH!" Aphrodite shouted, and fell on her knees. 

"...Oh no!" Dusa shouted. "...What? What's going on?" Eros and Zadre asks him unison. "... It's soul, and Aphrodite." Dusa said in a shocked tone. "...What? What did my mother did to Soul?" Eros who was afraid of what is mother could do to soul, now that they are both in a forcefield, asks. "... It's the other way around." Dusa said to them. "....What do you mean?" Zadre ask her. "...I mean that soul is the one who attacked, not Aphrodite." Dusa revealed. 

"..No! No! You have to destroy that forcefield now." Eros said to Dusa. "...Yes! You are right about that." Dusa said, and raise her hands. "...Soul, please don't do anything stupid." She said as she tries to carry some arrows in her quiver with her mind.

"...You mortal! You dare stab me?" Aphrodite said, as she press her bleeding wounds with her hands. "...I am sick of your gods, and your bullying." Soul said again, while holding the arrow she use to stab Aphrodite. "...I will kill you!" Aphrodite shouted, and tries to rush at soul again, but the pain from her wounded stomach stopped her from moving. 

"...Why haven't my wounds heal?" Aphrodite asks herself, while trying to heal herself, but her wounds weren't closing up. "...I guess you can't heal yourself...huh?" Soul said to Aphrodite. "...You damn mortal! What did you do to me?" Aphrodite asks her. "...They say the arrows do actually what it's user thought. So i wanted it to greatly wound you, and it did so." Soul revealed to her. 

"...You damn mortal!" Aphrodite yelled, and tries to charge at soul again, but her wounds open up even more, so she falls on her knees and stop the bleeding by pressing it with her hands. 

"...So what are you going to do now? Kill me?" Aphrodite ask soul. "...Haha!" Soul chuckled. "...No! I am not like you, and I am not going to kill you. Wait! How can i even kill you? You are a goddess and i am not a lonely mortal, who just found out that the love of my life was actually in love with me because he shot himself with his own love arrows." Soul said, as she walk close to Aphrodite. "...You are crazy, you damn mortal....and i wouldn't allow you to hurt me." Aphrodite said, and secretly conjure up a knife in her hands. 

"..I am crazy? You are the crazy one goddess, Aphrodite. You tried to kill me, your sister, Eros, and Zadre multiple times or have you forgotten." Soul said as she got really close to her. 

"...So what do you want? Why are you standing so close to me? Ain't you afraid i might attack you?" Aphrodite ask, and brought the knife to her other hand, so that she can properly attack soul with it. 

"...I want to stop fighting." Soul said, and draw her hands to Aphrodite Inorder to help her up. 

Little did she know that some of the arrows in her back were begining to move because of Dusa's mind control. 

"... Stop fighting?" Aphrodite asks. "...Yes!" Soul replied her. "...That can NEVER HAPPEN!" Aphrodite shouted as she stretch out the knife to Stab Soul.
