Nasty business

Three deities were holding what they deemed to be an urgent meeting in the underworld. They were meeting in the death lord's palace over a matter that concerned them all. 

The only matter which concerned them all lately was Scarlet of course, the pregnant grim reaper.

"The small world invitations are out." the old deity was the first to speak. 

"It's about time." Carnelia answered. 

"Yes, it's that time." Lythia concurred with Carnelia. 

The old deity released a round gold egg like ball in the air. It had intricate patterns of waves in it. 

"It's the water god's turn." he said. 

Carnelia folded her lips and made a disgusted face. 

"Tridon, I loathe Tridon." she said. 

He was the god of the seas and oceans, all of water while she was the goddess of fire, of course they didn't mix. He could not stand her as much as she could not stand him.
