43 CHAPTER 43: Goddess Guidance... (1/2)
The air around Zeran became frozen. He felt that he was having his worst nightmare, as he heard Ange's taunting voice, despite she was the light Goddess. Soon, Ange continued to tell him by the phone,
”Shocked that it was me who called you?”
”Instead of Mai, Arseia or your beloved DARK GODDESS RU?”.
As he was hearing more of Ange's words, he was steaming with sudden rage, making him to grit his teeth. Though, he tried to control his composure, so he just responded complacently,
”Yeah...who knew you have a nice voice over the phone...”
”By the way...err...is Ru, mom and Mai there?”.
Ange replies,
”Hold on...”.
There was a long gap of silence from the phone, it seemed Ru was truly in Ange's place in a dire situation. Sooner or later, he heard Ru's charming voice such as she was a worried princess,
”Hey there Zera...”
”Oh it seems we came into a pinch here...”
”Also she is kinda desperate now...”
”For now that plush d—”.
Suddenly, Ru's voice was interrupted by Mai's furious voice,
”Zen, Ange's nuts...”
”She put us like birds here, in a frickin' cage...”
”Come here fast...”.
A little while later, he heard Arseia's voice filled with motherly concern this time,
”Zen...my son...I guess I underestimated Angehime's and Nassus's stubbornness...”
”Sorry but, you'll have to do something on your own here...”.
There was a long noise of distorted silence afterwards. Soon, Ange spoke to him,
”Yeah...did you hear each of their voices?”
”Seems you're their only ho—”
”Ahhh! Nassus...hah...stop that...hahn aahhhn♪...”.
Though, her sarcastic voice over the phone was suddenly interrupted for some reason. It's as if Zeran was hearing her womanly moans dipped in spearmint licorice instead. It seemed she wasn't on her own, rather she was accompanied by a third party that she had spoken of. She ended the call immediately, turning Zeran to be isolated in his own space. His face looked numb and his sheer cold hand dropped the phone due to the recent news he had heard. He let out a grinning smile that was almost in the verge of losing sanity and he expressed with a forceful laugh,
”This can't be happening right?!”
”RIGHT?!”
”HA-HA-HAHAHAHA...”.
His hands were holding his head, as he was uncertain in his thoughts,
(”What should I do now? Mom...Mai...and my love Ru...”.)
Suddenly, the Ru plush doll came out from the kitchen. It went near him, although it lowered down it's sad head, since it was witnessing that he was lost inside his thoughts. More than that, the plush doll noticed that Zeran was letting out pitiful tears, since he doesn't know what to do next. Thereon, it jumped unto his shoulder and rubbed Zeran's head with its soft arm. Zeran felt like that Ru was patting his head, trying to calm him down and letting him to think clearly, even though her plush doll was the one doing the said action. He was feeling kinda relaxed and he had stopped leaking out tears of hopelessness from the abyss. He took a glance at the plush doll that was on his left shoulder and uttered out her name,
”Ru?”.
The Ru plush doll nodded in response. Zeran grabbed it. He was wreathed in sweet petals, as he was lifting the plush doll and kept staring at it. His tensed self calmed down. He embraced it such as he was embracing his beloved dark Goddess Ru, making him to be determined even in his thoughts,
(”I guess...she's still here...”)
(”As a plush doll.”)
(I almost went insane back there...”)
(”Now to plan carefully...”)
(”And use my wits with all I got...”).
In Ru's situation, she was accompanied by Arseia and Mai. They were barred inside a huge birdcage made of impervious divine golden steel that was made to capture divinities or deities, in which the words that Mai had said to Zeran recently was correct on all points. The birdcage was hanging above the all-white sanctuary of light Goddess Ange. Strangely enough, Nassus and Ange were nowhere to be found. Sooner or later, Ru sighed and let out her questions,
”I was wondering...”
”How'd Nassus break off from that DEEP PLEASURE SLEEP of a queen succubus Goddess like Niara...”
”It would take months to wear that off...”.
Mai comments,
”What else do you think?”.
Mai's troubling question made Ru to make a wild guess inside her thoughts. A little while later, Ru clasped her hands with energetic vibe and answered Mai's sensitive question, while Ru was twitching her foxy ears,
”Ohhh! I guess Ange's lewd instincts kicked in...”.
As Mai and Arseia heard Ru's answer, they nodded in respect to her speculation.
At the other side of the holy sanctuary of light Goddess Ange, Goddess Otorine was sitting on a golden white arching bed. It was engraved with golden ornaments and design. The fluttering golden fireflies and butterflies were like living spirits flowing into the sea of air. Otorine was nearly getting dressed in her kimono for some reason. Then, she tightened her obi sash. As for Nassus, he was sitting on the floor. Otorine looked to the right and saw Ange walking near her. Later, Ange spoke to Otorine in a composed manner,
”It seems you were the only one who was able to awaken him...”
”Out of his GODDESS WIVES and me...”
”Now that you're done waking him from his slumber...I guess—”.
Suddenly, Otorine stood up with all her brazen feelings, proving her love and possesion for her dear lover, while she swayed out her hand, denying Ange's request, as she shouted,
”NO!”
”I SHALL TAKE NASSUS AWAY FROM YOU AND HEAL AWAY HIS SCARS!”.
Nassus was very surprised over Otorine's sudden expressiveness. He was noticing that his serene Goddess Otorine had changed drastically. Her eyes were filled with seething emotions against Ange, proving Otorine's denial. His depiction of her as a calm, supportive Goddess was then changed into a Goddess who wanted to steel herself with her own gradual bravery and spirit. As for Ange, she wasn't shocked, rather she just closed her eyes and said, while she was walking away further, knowing what comes next,
”I see...”.
Nassus didn't want the awry situation to swell any further, so he stood up and went close to Goddess Otorine. Then, he says in a complacent manner, trying to negotiate with her,
”I must apologize Otorine but...Angehime is willing to support me on my ideals...”.
As Otorine heard Nassus's statements, she gritted her teeth in boiling anger, since she was frustrated of his driven ambitions for the benefit of Goddess Ira. Thereon, she gripped both sides of his collar, pleaded with all her heart out aided by sorrowful tears full of empathy for him, although her tone was very forceful,
