Water is life

Athena is the main character in the visual reality, I guess my stay here is over, I follow her and I see her with mel, they are having a conversation, I could feel the anticipation growing like a flaming furnace.

How will Athena go back to earth now?, Mel places her hair on Athena forehead and then I could see the wind blowing vigorously around them, then a downward force pulling me down.

In a blink of an eye, it becomes dark, with star up in the sky, we might be back on earth, I don't know what part it is, but either way, I feel at home already, Athena had her eyes up in the skies, smiling from e trye to eye.

" I want the bright one" she said pointing at the brightest star in the sky, " that star" she said in the most calm manner she had ever spoken since I came here, " that star is the future of her people, are you sure you want that?" She said,

Athena nodded, lady Mel took her hands, and they both, stare at the star, together, soon I could see Athena slowly and quietly turning to dust particle right before my own eyes, till she was one with thin air, " be a better human, and don't forget to return" Mel said before turning around, now all I could see was Athena being one with the stars above

There were more stars in the skies, more than words could contain, but that special one was the brightest, if Athena is out of the picture then I guess the story has ended. But I don't fade away like I expected, is there more?.

Mel stays there for a while before everything goes back to how it used to be, I see myself in the altars of the king and queen, " Athena is one with a human" she says immediately,

" which human?"

" a bright star" she said, I could see the glum look disappear into a smug smile, " I bet she would have what ever she wants now, with enough protection" he said, Mel nodded in response

I get distracted my a familiar face, a man with feather in his boot and hat, " tell every god to meet me at my altar" he said, and just immediately the messenger was out like he was never in in the first place.

In seconds I could see the altars of the kind, filled with different gods, th try were nothing like human, each of them had features of earthly creatures, some had hands of an animal with a trunk of an elephant, I could see some of them having eyes all over their boy.

All this discoveries were way too much to handle, as I felt the urge to evaporate, if any of this gods find me, I am likely to die, just by fear, I can't attest to the fact, that some had glorious hair whose length were unmeasurable.

And some had unique facial feature, most humans will kill for, but each beauty was dented with one attribute of the extraordinary, and they were all lined up before me, waitt it inf for the lead god to say something.

" Gaia reported a war, and not everyone would survive" he said, they all exclaimed with he mentioned Gaia, but when survival came in question, they weren't so borthered,

" what do we do, and why are we being attacked" one of the gods said,

" we fight, to sustain our honor, and we are brined attacked because they want us down, and Athena, as well" the king said.

" where is Athena?" They asked panicking.

" Safe" he replied, it was puzzling yet clear enough to know, the king had made way for the future ruler of Athens, the trust they have for one another, keeps my puzzled thoughts at rest.

"we would fight till our last breath no matter what,she would die as heroes and not weaklings' Ares said and the others agreed, I would have never spotted him amidst the crowd.

Edit

"No!" I hear someone yelling from behind, " hey Aristophane, this isn't done joke" ares glared at him, the way they look at each other I bet they aren't in gods terms, " it isn't a joke,,the vision seer said we would all die if we fight why don't we run away and avoid death, there's no need fighting"

With the unserious look on their weird faces, they weren't taking him seriously, maybe he has always been a coward but it makes more sense to me, they could all flee from the land,and leave to tell the story, or more over to fight another day.

or they fight and die as legends, " maybe Aristophane wasn't msking a joke after all" I hear one say, they all speak in unison making it really hard to detect a particular word, the king watched everyone being doubtful, same With the queen and I could tell they expected it.

And in matter of seconds, I tell from the looks of things that it had all Been divided into groups, and those who were with Aristophane were talking way louder, and soon, they all left the premises including Aristophane who left first.

But ares stayed, same with a couples of weird faced gods, whose looks still terrified me, they all looked up to the throne where their hope rest, " if Gaia said it's our turn to meet our fate, then yes we would, but Athena is safe, with a bright star, and yes she is the ruler of the Athens, so why he frightened, when we are leagues of gods that would never perish in the heart of men, they worship us"

They all listened attentively, and I could tell there was a hint of hope in their heart, but how will the princess save them if she wasn't aware there was trouble in the first place.

The chatting between king of comrades continues, as they plot attack plans, in hopes of higher chance of winning, it becomes boring all of a sudden, and I feel the urge to move round the altar, a part of me misses when Athena was in the scene, now all I can see are community affairs going on.

Just right outside the altar, I see sat most hovering round the pillars, it wasn't there when I went in, I move closer towards th tree pillar, as I ran my finger through the smoke, it felt really light on my hands, yet burn right through my skin.

I could see the hollow holes in my hands, it must be a protection of some kind, looking outside the altar, it wasn't as bright as it was either, everything felt dull, deep down my gut, I know something is wrong but I can't put my hands on it.

Sitting down there, on the base of a pillar just beneath the mist hovering on my head, I reminisce on the kiss I had earlier, before dieing right before my own eye, then I get taken to this hell of a place where nothing makes sense at all.

I have no business with myths,neither do I care if Athena had family issues, or if a weird person named Laila I had lost her mother, because back hom my mother had just lost a daughter who wasn't willing to die just yet.

And here I am, stuck between a rock and a hard place, I don't even know my way home, I don't know home, my cheek moist slightly with tears, and it feel and looks strange having to cry as a dead person, a drop falls from my eyes, and I could see it burn right through me, as it hits the floor.

What?.

I see the hole created by tears heal up immediately, like nothing ever happened, way a second, if my tears can cause me to burn,then I need water, I need water, if I need to get of the place

" water is life" I repeat to myself as I stand hurriedly from where I sat, in search of the nearest water stream, and maybe it will rain, it must rain, the void is moody as well, and I hope it cries alongside with me, I see it darken with seconds and light flash of lighting.

My stare at the clouds, as it got darker, and more windy, maybe it's a storm coming, but no, I see beings drop was the sky, like lightening itself, the altar is under attack!.

This weren't like other beings I saw earlier, they were partially decayed, some had horns poking out of their body, and with each second, they dropped from the sky, they have bizarre features

It must be the end time!, running into the altar I see all the gods and goddess standing in a defensive manner, with weapons in their hands, some had swords, while others had weird instruments with spikes at the end.

I could feel my heart beating like a war drum inside me, and it only means one thing, I might die of fear, just watching what ancient gods war looks like.
