Thread: A God's Mistake {TheCrimsonRose&Jjfanrb}

The wind was perfect as Artanus strolled down the street towards his favorite mortal brewery, The Calling Crow. He saw some beautiful girls who looked to be in college approaching and he slashed a smile only a god could give. The girls faces blushed and he walked past and he overheard one of them say wow who was that gorgeous guy? Well if only they knew he thought to himself with a chuckle. It wasn't everyday you get a smile from an immortal, but he wasn't concerned about giving himself away. All the other gods knew that beautiful women were his weakness. In fact some had exploited it and it led to some very bad disasters here in the mortal world. Despite his almost model like looks he was not perfect. He was constantly criticized for not helping the mortals and being non confrontational when it came to problems. Artanus had his reasons for his behavior though. Why get himself into issues what didn't concern him? He left most of that work to the earth god Exodor. Now there was a god who wanted to be everyone's white knight. He had such a hard-on for justice he and the other gods sentenced him to a year among the mortals. He had already served 6 months of it and he was finally getting used to this boring place. He had found his perfect pub, gotten laid regularly, and was living in peace. Life was as perfect as it was going to get here. He was removed from his thoughts when he heard some screams down the street. Women's screams. He knew that he really shouldn't care but he was bored and tired of same routine so he decided he had better go check it out. He ran down the street to find a man in a mask trying to steal a small girl's purse. Every bone on Artanus body said don't be a hero but he still found himself moving forward towards the man who was now wielding a gun. The masked man grabbed the girl by the neck and held her close and put the gun to her head and shouted stay away! This doesn't concern you pretty boy! The look on the girl's face was pure horror as she struggled to get free from the man's grasp. Artanus stopped for a moment remembering what the gods had said at council. He had been in chains of lightning and fire facing the other 4 gods. The goddess of fire Mulara, whom he had been tricked by her beauty and lust and enveloped in her flame. Coarla, the goddess of water who was wife to the earth god Exodor who were both pure and stood for everything just. Then you had the sneering evil Spectrus, god of spirit. He was the most conniving and evil of them all. Each had sentenced him here unanimously and not without rules. Rule number 1 being to make sure he was never discovered by anyone or the mortals who knew would have to be killed. Rule 2 was not to cause any trouble. In the next few minutes he could break both possibly. He looked into the girl's eyes with his own deep blue and stood straight at his full 61 stature and he brushed a fallen lock of sandy brown hair out of his eyes. You don't want to do that he said calmly looking at the gunman. Youll regret it The only thing I'll regret is not killing you sooner! He yelled and blasted three rounds into the chest of Artanus who was already moving at lightning fast speed towards the gunman. In milliseconds he had the man disarmed and both arms broken and laying on the pavement in pain. He looked down at the man but couldn't bring himself to end the man's life in front of the woman. He saw now that she was beautiful. Beyond beautiful in her own ways. He tried to hide the three bullet holes in his shirt from her eyes by turning around. No mortal weapon could harm him but she couldn't be allowed to know that. She was already in danger as it was. He tried to figure out what he should do next. Leave her to the gods to possibly kill? Protect her? Ugh. this is why he didn't meddle in mortal affairs. But then again she was beautiful. You can't stay here now. It's too dangerous. I'll explain later but for now you'll have to crash at my place if you want to live he said looking over his shoulder.
