The council____1

Their arrival was noticed by all the gods. It was hard not to when they were the VIPs of the day, the two who were responsible for the gathering. 

Scarlet's bold remarks and her nonchalant attitude captivated the interest of the deities. What is it that was giving her confidence to stand before them and challenge one of the strongest deities so openly? Was she simply foolish or did she think this matter was laughable? 

"You are quite fearless for a reaper, are you not?" One of the female deities asked. 

"You stand before the council of deities, perhaps you should tone down the attitude and humble yourself. We are here to decide the fate of your children after all." Another, a female deity advised. 

"If you expect the little reaper to bend to the will of us deities then you will be disappointed." Tridon told them. He looked amused, with that playful smile on his face. "I for one would be very bored if she simply surrendered cowardly."
