38 <Myth> When Gods Promise Other Gods Favors

X'al, Goddess of Fortune AND Phoerow, God of Death

Part 1

............

She was a small and heavily ill-fortune human who was one of the rare females to pray at his temple.

She treated him as a just god, despite stories of his cruelty.

It was one day when she replaced the offering with fresh pomegranates when it had happened- she had the bad luck to be accused as a witch.

With an ailing mother and no father, she had no choice but to be burned at the stake.

Heartbroken, Phoerow turned to the one goddess he should never had trusted: X'al, Goddess of Fortune.

With a sly tongue and an even slyer mind, X'al promised to help the desperate god on one condition- a single favor.

He did not question anything before he grabbed her outstretched hand, sealing his doomed fate.

Not only had he lost his love, but a part of his existence as well.

When Gods promise Gods other favors, the favor is automatically advantageous to the god doing the favor. It was like a lottery, and the losing side never knows how much is lost.
