Such a fair glow

The goat god of earth bit her lip and looked away as Keahi asked how she slept through all of this.  “I don’t know.  I was tired.”

She’s always tired, so that was really no excuse.  It was the only one she could provide however as she joined Keahi at the window looking out at the destruction.

“I slept through it all.  Didn’t notice anything happening here.”  Some god she was.  Her silence was probably a sign of how deep she was thinking.  Her mind going between how to fix this to if it was even worth it to fix.  

“They’ll just do it again.  They keep proving that.”  A rare moment of complete seriousness from Lorelei as her thoughts manifested themselves as words.  She should have been awake and stopping this from happening.  From spreading.  Even if she were awake, would she have found the energy to even bother trying?  “How bad was Makana hurt?”

“They do and we clean up after them every time.” It really was weird that she wasn’t the cause of someone else’s problem this time around. At least that is what it seemed for a bit. “It’s a little drama action -- don’t we enjoy those?” She asked as she placed a small pat on Lorelei’s back.

“Hmm.. Not as bad as others.” She responded before taking a step back. “Big bird thought it was a good idea to have a orb-- it worked.. I’ll give him that.. buuut.. the little robot managed to break in and.. Things went great from there.” At least she was not the one who got nagged on by Kano this time.

Roll out of bed she did, knocking her head on the floor pretty hard.  Keahi was here?  Oh this must be a dream.  Keahi wouldn’t come here to see her. 

Her heart raced for a moment or two as she stared at the other god standing in her bedroom.  However a few seconds later, fully waking up from her sleep and possible head injury, she realized that Keahi wasn’t here to wisk her away to live happily ever after.  She said work.  Goat dang it.

But it was Keahi, probably the only person who could get Lorelei to willingly put effort forth towards things.  So with a groan, Lorelei made her way to her feet and sulked like a child who isn’t getting her way.  “Fiiiiiine.”

There we go. That was the answer Keahi was expecting. The earth goat happily agreeing to help clean the mess on Keanu. Walking away from the bed she went to open the curtains to her room.

“Sheesh. How did you manage to sleep through all of this?” Crates, burnt marks and buildings that were barely standing. This certainly was a whole lot more worse than what had happened on Makana.

     …Despite how unbelievably pissed Hadyn is for this whole ordeal, he can’t help but feel for Keahi. Why? He’s not sure… Perhaps it’s the pitiful, wavering aura around her form that acts like a flickering candle. Or perhaps it’s the sympathy of one immortal to another, knowing how vicious a cycle can be.

   Hadyn keeps his hands balled into fists, watching Keahi walk along the surface of magma. Leylines are well defined with the volcanoes core; it’s tempting to just jump right in and take a long nap for a century or two. But he’s got business to settle. He’s got Tsukasa to look out for, a whole pile of friends to keep safe from another tragedy. When had he gotten so protective and soft? Solitude really has fucked him over, in a manner he can’t describe as good or bad.

      “ …Fuck… ” He grumbled under his breath, looking down upon the edge of the volcano. Those homes, the islands, the people he’s grown so attached to… Maybe he can make this better. Better than before. If he… if he had more control. Control over something so powerful, like this volcano. It’s not as big as the other, but it was enough energy to provide him to more strength.

   “ …King ain’t a bad title… but there’s somethin’ else I wanna’ add to our deal. ” Hadyn turns his attention back to Keahi, his posture relaxing tenderly. “ I want power. Power like you farm animals. ‘nough ta’ keep myself goin’ through the Winters ‘ere. ‘nough ta’ keep Tsukasa safe an’ well… because as soon as you give ‘im back his memories, he’s comin’ ‘ere with me. A King has ta’ have ‘is Queen, right?

      “ But I ain’t no cheapskate either… I’ll keep yer stupid island runnin’. I’ll keep it warm or whatever… An’ I’ll heal you. I dunno how much o’ the same we are, but yer leylines an’ aura are so fucked. I can see it. I can feel it… I ‘ave ways ta’ heal other people, even Gods, I guess. I can do it, but… you can’t take Tsukasa away from me. Never again. He’s… He’s all that I got. I need ‘im to live, capeche? …An’ if you can do that shit, then you got yersellf a deal. ”

   Hadyn promptly holds his hand out for the Fire Goddess’, charcoal hues turning from anger, to straight out serious. If he can have more power, more control… then he can do something right for once.

“I figured you would have liked getting called that.” As much as she did enjoy being a bitch, she did pay attention to some little details when she was.. being friendly with those inferior to her kind. It is because of this mentality that she strongly detested the feeling of knowing that she was.. possibly.. being pitied. 

“As.. Tempting as it is to have you helping me out.. we do take care of our own.” Her healing abilities aren’t the best as they used to be, nor were they in anything when compared to Kano’s... but even so.. She knew that there would be a massive fit if she accepted it. So for that matter, she would have to decline. At least for the time being.

“Alright.” Keahi responded after a moment of thinking over his request. “I’m not strong enough to really grant a whole lot of power access.. What I can do should be enough to get you by and feel better during the cold weather. From the way we designed this island.. this should be more tolerable and to our liking than the other four.” It was why she liked it herself.. She could feel her strength recovering a whole lot better when she was on Makana.

Nodding, she extended her hand and gave as firm of a handshake as she could. “I promise to never take Tsukasa away from you.” Keahi, as much as anyone else, understood the pain that came with being separated from those they hold dear. 

     “ TSUKASA DIDN’T DO ANYTHING TO RUIN YER SHITTY ISLAND! ”

   Hadyn is uptight and stressed– but everything has to come to an end. His energy is not fully at top form, he can’t even burn a white flame. God, if he could though, he’d really make Keahi pay. Hadyn’s breathing comes in ragged as he’s face to face with the Fire Goddess, steam emitting from his nostrils and fire flicking in his charcoal eyes. His fists shake and his eyes threaten to water at any moment.

      He’s so tired…

   “ …You better come up with some good fuckin’ “compromise”. If yer lyin’ ta’ me… an’ you pull some STUPID TRICKY FUCKERY, I’LL DESTROY EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YER ISLANDS! EVERY. LAST. ONE. ”

Huh-- Would you look at that. He really was somehow managing to avoid everything that the goats had thrown at the island residents. How was it that he was already displaying signs of regaining his powers? Was it because of what he was?

“Again with the shouting-- For that you need strength. Dumbass.” What’s with these guest of hers not being able to settle down for a few seconds. 

Taking a deep breath, Keahi slid her hands to grip on to his arms and was using what bit of strength that she had to transport them by the ridge on her second volcano. Once her feet were planted firmly on the ground, she let go of him and took a few steps over the oozing magma. Letting her fingers dip into the lava, she was quickly retracting it with a small groan. “From what I have learned about you.. We’re pretty much the same.. we need a volcano to stay strong.” The fire goddess sighed, frowning at her charred hand.

“Anytime I want to charge.. I get hurt... And in order to accelerate my healing.. I need to charge.. So this is an endless cycle for me. The reasons as to why this is happening isn’t that important.. But.. The compromise is.. If you help me keep this island in one piece and homely.. Make sure the residents follow rules.. and if you manage to wait out this memory wipe. I’ll let you have this volcano. All access. Do what you want.” Keahi stated with a small wave at the pool of magma that stood before them. 

“I am sorry about what happened with Tsukasa. I had a moment of..” Pausing.. internally gagging at the next word that was coming out of her mouth. “Weakness..” Gross. “If I could, I would have my favorites with their memories, happily living with all the fluff they had built-- but.. I’m currently not in my best form. Even I can’t overpower five other gods.” At one point she probably could..

     –Hadyn ceases his wailing of the fists for just a moment to hear Keahi out. She’s not even putting up a fight– bitch. He grits his teeth, grabbing Keahi by the collar and slamming her back against the ground. He’s beyond the point of furious, and seeks or no other arrangement than what he wants.

   Gods or no Gods, this wouldn’t be acceptable. Hadyn drops her and keeps his hands on her shoulders, red flames flickering wildly against her cheeks.

      “ I DON’T WANNA’ WAIT UNTIL YER HAPPY ASS DECIDES TO MAKE EVERYTHIN’ BETTER. I’M THE ONE ASKIN’ QUESTIONS, BITCH! GIVE THEM THEY’RE MEMORIES BACK ALREADY! GIMME’ MY TSUKASA BACK! ”

Why the fuck not. Shove her around. Everyone seemed to enjoy doing that this week. Using whatever bit she had left of her strength, she was picking herself up and grabbing him by his collar as tightly as she could.

“CALM YOUR ASS, YOU STUPID BIG BIRD.” She just wanted a moment to relax after this long winded day!

“STOP taking away MY fun! YOU ALL RUINED MY ISLAND SO YOU ALL HAVE TO DEAL WITH MY REVENGE!” Keahi grunted, keeping her grip tightly, holding back her need to throw flames at him. She did not need him to get stronger. “YOU WILL GET TSUKASA BACK IN TIME.” Her grip on him held tightly. “Believe it or not, you and Tsukasa actually give me some joy. I like it when my islanders are happy.” 

Letting him go, she pushed him away from her. A scoff, her arms crossed and tucked under her chest. The fact that he managed to avoid all of this, it proved that he was stronger than she thought, he could possibly be of some use. 

     …Hadyn’s eye visibly twitches. A flame, bright and red, flickers off his shoulders and grows along his arms. Weak as it may be in size, it still whipped wildly along his forearms.

   How dare this bitch even have the nerve to say something so casual to his face. Especially to someone who is on the brink of insanity. Hadyn has to fight the tears, and instead pulls that sadness into pure, undeniable rage. His hands curl into fists, before he begins slugging Keahi across the face. His weight keeps her pinned as he flings his fists relentlessly.

      “ YOU. BITCH! WHORE! WORTHLESS ANIMAL! FIX THIS SHIT NOW! GIVE MY TSUKASA HIS LIFE BACK! GIVE MY FRIENDS THEIR MEMORIES! PUT EVERYTHING BACK! ”

Oh boy. This was fun. Keahi had never really dealt with someone in her shared element with her angry firey personality. Ahh.. How much she hated not being able to keep up at the moment.

“No. How dare you raise your hand to a God.” Keahi responded with her hand pressing on her cheek. Aggggh. She certainly did hate being drained after that.. little bubble that Kano put her in. The goddess did not have the strength to deal with this.. especially after joining in hands with the others to make these six island in less than 12 hours.

Looking at her list of current island residents and out at the few that were boarding, there was an internal and external look to her face that screamed ‘I hate my life’. Why did she have to have the main troublesome bunch? Augh. Just smile Keahi... You can slowly kill them later.

“Keep your hands and feet inside the boat at all time.” Keahi announced as she made it to the center-most part of the boat. She did not want to be anywhere near that water. Especially since.. not that long ago she was held under until she lost consciousness. “My name is Keahi and I will be your guide to help you settled into your new homes. Please don’t do anything indecent on this boat, for this is the only way on and off the island. Your ID cards are all you need to travel to the other islands.. You all should have received pamphlets with the attractions on other islands and the benefits of Makana.” blah blah blah. How much more did she have to play nice?

Giving a nice little smile, she looked at her happy bunch. “We shall be there shortly.” The island goddess pointed at the island with the two volcanoes. “Any questions, feel free to ask.”

AUGH.

All she could remember her fellow goat was trying to get her to stop throwing her fireballs. Each one that she threw was not enough to make her feel any bit better after seeing the sight of how those super-powered kids left her island. Augh. Who gave them the right? She was the only one who could throw tantrums like that! It didn’t take long for her to notice that she was literally being sucked underwater and being held there. In a matter of moments her vision went black.

Regaining consciousness, she noticed that she was in very familiar arms-- WAIT. It was the idiot who did it to her!! Forcing herself out of his arms, she was quickly creating a fist and punching that blue-haired jerk in the face! 

Goat dammit! She hated that water was her biggest weakness. Her balance was off and she possibly made a fool of herself in front of the others but she did not care.
