57 Sorting out the mess? (2/2)

-Daddy? It's all nice and all. I appreciate that you are showing me your work. But it's still boring as hell!-

Aengus complains from my lap.

”Oh...sorry, but mommy can't look after you at the moment. She is trying to find out how Seria created this.... mess in our ecology.” Then I grab the crystal globe with Tjenemit and shake it a little before my son. Tjenemit gets slammed from one side of his cell to the other like there would be a violent earthquake.

”Look! You can play with this for a while. This is my new Tjenemit-globe!”

Aengus takes the small crystal sphere with both hands and holds it carefully.

-You shouldn't do that to prisoners! It's not very heroic!-

”Aw! Cheapskate! Try it! On top, that's no prisoner, that's an experiment!” I have to teach that guy the right view on the world! What if he ever has to take over my position?

Aengus tries to shake the globe up and down a little. Then his eyes start to gleam and he lets go of the globe. It stays in position and doesn't drop. Looks like he is holding the light globe with telekinesis. Then the globe slowly starts to spin through the horizontal axis. Tjenemit starts to run as his prison starts to spin. Going ever faster until he trips and is pressed against the wall like a hamster in a running wheel.

”Hiihiihihihihi!” Aengus starts to laugh with a high voice but the Tjenemit-globe gets snapped out of the air before our eyes by a hand.

”Don't corrupt him!” Celes snaps at me and slams the globe back into it's position at the pedestal. ”I had hoped that you would be a better example.”

”Hi, honey! We just had a little experiment that's all.” I smile at her.

”So it wasn't mistreatment of a prisoner of war?” She looks down at me like I would be dirt. ”Give me Aengus! He has to get to sleep, he is a child after all.”

She takes Aengus from my lap and walks off with him. He is waving at me over her shoulder, while he is looking a little disappointed at the globe. Hoho? Maybe I can teach him a few things after all?

Looking out of the window, I realize the setting sun and declare the end of my audiences. After a few minutes I am back in our private chambers and throw myself onto the bed.

Why is it that we still get tired and have to sleep and eat? Aren't we gods again? Are we something between mortals and gods now? Celes is trying to find the answers, but I don't have much hope. From my knowledge no god ever lost his divinity, got reincarnated and got it back.

Not many gods ever died before under the council too. There is no knowledge about the life cycle of gods. It's disturbing.

Celes enters the dark room and jumps onto me. ”Husband, I need you for an experiment!”

”The husband is tired! The wife has to make the experiment on her own....hmpf” I grumble but something that tastes like chocolate gets shoved into my mouth.

”The husband is needed for this, because this doesn't work with a female alone!” She kisses me while she hugs me on the bed.

”Did something happen? You are really aggressive today?” I ask her while she is rolling on top of me.

”Oh. Nothing... I just managed it to create a new form of that aphrodisiac, I got from Tanja..... so I wanted to test it!” She whispers into my ear.

My face drops. Damn! I have to puke! I already swallowed it! I try to jump out of the bed but Celes wraps around me like a snake, using her tail too! ”The husband shouldn't run from his duties!” She whispers to me. ”It's not good if you run around while the drug is taking effect!”
