Chapter 221 You would be privileged

She turned around, giving her back to the reaper as she chose to walk away. Mincing words with him would only serve to anger her.

"You turned your back on me, I am still talking, how dare you?" She heard him angrily yell and felt his hand on her shoulder.

Her plan was to flip him over her shoulder when he was suddenly launched into the air, and suspended there. His mouth was opening and closing like a fish that was struggling to breathe after being taken out of water.

Scarlet looked around to see who was providing this assistance and out of thin air, Lythia and her guards appeared. One of the guards was holding his hand upwards, she guessed that it was him that lent her a helping hand.

"A level six warrior reaper attempting to unfairly beat up a level three guardian reaper, now this is what we call indiscipline. You have earned yourself one month in the hall of punishment." Lythia said softly.

Like the last time with Ulysses and his friends, a portal appeared through which this reaper was sent.

"Did she attempt anything as well?" Lythia looked at the female reaper that was frowning, looking frightened as if she was about to shit herself.

"No." Scarlet said and the woman sighed in relief.

The hall of punishment was not a place reapers wanted to visit even for a few seconds. It was full of nightmares and your powers were stripped away so all that you suffered was cruel and unforgettable.

"Thank you." The female reaper said in a small voice and she disappeared.

Scarlet looked at Lythia and bowed politely before saying, "I was on my way to find you before he accosted me verbally, said you were my mummy." freewebnove l.com

Lythia chuckled and took Scarlets hand, transporting them to her gardens. "You know, it would be a privilege for you to be my daughter. It would make you the child of a deity after all."

Smiling in a cheeky way, Scarlet pretentious held Lythia's arm and said, "In that case, you can adopt me."

Lythia laughed and shook her head, "You just want some benefits from me, I know you Scarlet. What is it that you need?"

"Some rejuvenation water." She replied without a second thought. "Ooh, some water from your spring too, I heard that spring water which belongs to the deities can cure any human disease."

"And that's why we do not give it out easily. " Lythia answered. "Imagine a world where humans never fall sick, there would be no death and no pain. As horrible as it is, those two alone give us deities incredible power. Humans believe more when there is suffering and hope."

They sat on a swing set under the large peach trees and a reaper brought them some tea.

"Drink, it's good for you. " Lythia told her.

For a while, they sipped the tea slowly, admiring the beautiful surroundings and laughing at the silly antics of the spirit monkeys.

Still, Scarlet could not erase Lythia's words about pain, suffering and death but she chose not to ask anything else. She asked another question instead.

"What are you the deity of? I know the old deity is in charge of death but what about you?"

Lythia raised her hands gently and in the bright light shadows formed, some were dancing, some were standing still and others running. "Shadows," she said. "Shadows and darkness."

Everything suddenly went dark, as if the entire realm had been lit up by lights that were suddenly extinguished.

Scarlet could not make out a single thing, not even her superior grim reaper vision was working. All that was in front of her was an endless darkness which felt like an empty void whose companion was the wind which suddenly sounded mournful.

They say death and darkness were companions but as an agent of death, Scarlet felt uneasy, it was freaky, scary and troubling.

"Lythia, turn on the lights before the entire realm turns to chaos." Scarlet heard the old deity's rage full voice shout from somewhere.

"Hi-hi-hi." Lythia chuckled and suddenly it was bright again.

The first thing Scarlet noticed as her eyes adjusted to the sudden onslaught of bright light was the way the spirit monkeys were huddled together, holding each other for comfort. Nobody liked darkness, not a single being or creature.

"It's amazing that my brother acts as if my powers are so simple, turn on the lights!!!" Lythia complained in a disbelieving voice and she poured out the rest of her tea and sulked.

"Would you like to see my power in action in your world?" She asked.

"Oh please no." Scarlet blurted out desperately.

"See, this is the right reaction, fear, anxiety and desperation. But he talks about my powers as if they are an ordinary light bulb to be switched on and off."

Scarlet had another question on her mind, something that made her even more curious. " As a deity, you can have your own realm, why do you choose to live here and work with or for your brother?" It seemed logical that every deity have a realm of their own.

"Because nobody likes the darkness, not even I, it's deity. And, of all my brothers and sisters only he likes me, deities too act like humans, they segregate. Some feel more superior to others and think they should be revered, respected and admired more than others. It's why we rarely interact, there are less wars when we mind our own business. Why were you seeking me out?"

"Oh, I delivered a level seven soul, the gate keepers stole it and I got this." Scarlet finally got around to the real reason why she had come seeking for Lythia before all the distractions. "I don't know if I should be complaining but I feel cheated, it's not what I wanted."

"It's one of the beads of infinite protection, with this, no one can harm you physically in this realm or the human one. I am surprised that they gave you something so precious, they must be courting you. A day will come when they will ask you for a favor _"

"No, no," Scarlet shook her head, "No favors, they are too big in this realm."

"But the bead of infinite protection is a good thing, there are things that your little flame cannot protect you from but the bead will. Keep it, the gate keepers will only ask you to capture an escaped soul from hell once in a while, don't be afraid." Lythia stood up, she looked ready to bid Scarlet goodbye. "Are you eating the hell fruits daily?"

"Yes," Scarlet replied, " I am tired of them now though."

"No, keep eating, it's important." Lythia said in a sterner voice that perhaps even she did not realize.

"Why?" She asked curiously. This was important to Lythia it seemed. "You know, if I had some rejuvenation water I could be convinced, I would even consider increasing my intake."

"Here." Lythia shoved a whole collection of twenty four mid sized vials all filled with rejuvenation water at Scarlet. "Four fruits a day and if you skip, I will know and I will be very unhappy. Lights tend to go out when I am unhappy Scarlet."

"Don't worry adoptive mom, I will eat the fruits faithfully." Scarlet knew that Lythia would not tell her why the fruits were desperately important to her so, she chose to get some benefits. This rejuvenation water could be helpful perhaps in curing the darkness.
