Hunt left as soon as the arrow was complete.

With only a brief thank you, she was gone, leaving him almost dazed by her swift departure. He sunk into one of the chairs and tilted his head toward the ceiling. Crafting such a perfect and powerful weapon had truly drained him; it appeared his well of power only seemed infinite.

The momentary exhaustion passed, however, and Creation was on his feet again. With Hunt off to deliver the arrow to her chosen champion, he had time to indulge his curiosity surrounding the other two doors of his godly quarters.

“Let’s see what the mortals think I need . . .” he mumbled, opening the door directly across from the workshop. It led to yet another staircase that wound up and around a different landing. The room was circular, but empty. He couldn’t help but wonder what the mortals ultimately intended to do with it.

Creation started back down the steps and tried the final door at the end of the first hall. This one was painted white and he didn’t know what he expected, but it certainly wasn’t the lavish bedroom that waited on the other side.

Tapestries hung on the walls and a fireplace in its center that Creation went to on instinct. With a dip of his wrist and twitch of his fingers, a fire flickered into existence, instantly replacing the blues and purples of late evening along his walls with orange and yellow. He looked at the way the firelight played on the walls, the four-poster bed, and the lush rugs underneath his feet. Creation walked over to the window, gazing below at the hedges that surrounded the temple—palace, more like, as it was truly fit for a king.

Or a Prince of Gods, he supposed.

A sudden thrumming across the ether of his magic cut his exploration short.

Creation sensed Destruction the moment she set foot within the kingdom of Aristonia. Turning, he began walking hastily, a pace that quickened to a near sprint as her presence grew. Though, as he approached the main temple doors, he made it a point to slow his stride, catch his breath and steady his mind.

He had no way of knowing why she was here, just like he had no way of truly knowing why she’d left at the beach. After the way it had felt to finally hold her in his arms, to finally connect with her on the level his magic had been designed to crave, she had run.

Perhaps she was only here to do him the kindness of a final goodbye.

Creation’s heart ached at the thought. But even as the possibility loomed just on the other side, he knew he was beyond denying himself her presence, even if it was the last time she were ever to allow it.

So, focusing on the silent pull of her magic, Creation opened the door and laid eyes on her for what felt like the first time in centuries.

“I was starting to think you’d keep me out here in the cold forever,” Destruction said without preamble.
