Thread: Deception :: The Goddesses Descent. [Karameida x Ashiaka]

Tiamat Freya Nanaja Odin Anu The above are links to each characters respective image. Minus Anu and Odin. Prologue Guilty until Proven Innocent. A hush fell over the gathering of the gods and goddesses. Deities from all cultures stared in fascinated horror at the drama unfolding between the Akkadian and Norse pantheons. I DEMAND RETRIBUTION UPON THE GUILTY! a woman screamed in fury and pain. The woman was Tiamat, the Akkadian Goddess of primordial chaos and of the seas. THEY TOOK IT! THEY DESTROYED IT! she hollered in frustrated agony. Anu, the leader of the Akkadian pantheon looked on with concern. Calm yourself Tiamat, what has happened to you? he asked with furrowed brows. Tiamat whirled around and faced Anu with tears streaming down her face. The heart of Abzu was stolen....and my temple has been desecrated!! she said between chest wrenching sobs. Anu's eyes widened and a cumulative gasp rippled among the different pantheons. The desecration of a gods or goddesses temple was a heavy enough crime, but to also steal such a sacred object? It was unthinkable, the Deities looked around to one another and to each pantheon wondering who could have carried out such a heinous act. The golden heart of Abzu was a dear treasure of Tiamat's everyone knew her tragic story and also knew the value of the sacred object. It not only enhanced her powers but held sentimental value to her. The heart of her dead husband whoever stole it would pay a heavy price indeed. Surely no one would attempt such a travesty? Anu stared at Tiamat deeply troubled These are....heavy accusations, Tiamat. Do you know who might have tried to do this to you? he asked with genuine concern. I HAVE MORE THAN AN IDEA! she screeched even more enraged. IT WAS NANAJA AND FREYA! she said pointing to the two goddesses in each pantheon. At the accusation a burst of conversation echoed throughout the pantheons. Nanaja and Freya? Surely Tiamat couldn't be serious? The conversations rose in volume until nothing could be clearly heard. It was completely outrageous! How could she accuse her own kin of such a thing? The loudest of them all was the Norse pantheon, they denied the accusations on Freya's behalf and they all looked towards the Akkadian pantheon in indignation. How dare she accuse Freya of all deities? ENOUGH!!! Odin said, the command carried over the din of noises and slowly the pantheons hushed, waiting expectantly to see how the all knowing Odin would react. These are indeed, very heavy accusations. Should you be throwing names around so callously? he asked, his eye piercing Tiamat. Tiamat spun around and stared angrily at Odin. Don't try to protect that wench! I know she and that traitorous Nanaja did it! she said without a tremble in her voice or a wavering gaze. It seemed, Tiamat was certain of who'd done it. Anu stared on even more deeply troubled. He glanced over at Nanaja who wore an expression of shocked horror. I DEMAND SATISFACTION! she screamed her voice climbing. Anu and Odin exchanged glances, they knew what their laws demanded but they did not want to carry out the deeds. Not a single word had been uttered by the accused Freya and Nanaja. The shock of being accused of such travesties seemed to have rendered them mute. Was it a sign of shocked innocence? Or horrified guilt? In all honesty, no one was entirely sure what their inability to defend themselves signaled. The silence stretched on and was finally broken it seemed they finally found their voices. How dare you accuse me of doing something so awful?! You wretched little liar! Watch who you accuse, Tiamat! I will not stand idly by and listen to your lies. They both said in self righteous rage. Everyone stared at the two goddesses who were bristling with anger. The air fairly hummed with the rage that was coursing through it. This little scene could very easily start a war between the two pantheons, which in turn would drag other pantheons into it due to loyalties. The guilty will never admit their guilt! BUT I KNOW THE TRUTH! she said her chest rising and falling with each of her heavy breaths. For such accusations, I feel it might be worth our while to let them prove their innocence... Odin said looking to Freya and Nanaja. Anu nodded slowly in agreement. Tiamats eyes bulged and she let out an ear splitting scream NO!!! YOU CAN'T DO THIS! she bellowed. Why do you give them a chance? Why do you not destroy them where they stand!?!? she raged. We can not deal out a punishment with only your word against them. Odin said matter-of-factly. The look on Tiamats face was mutinous, her expression darkening in unconcealed rage. Henceforth, Freya of the Norse shall be stripped of her god-hood and cast out until the day she brings back proof of her innocence. No one shall help her and any caught will be dealt with severely. Odin said with a heavy heart. Let it be known that Nanaja of the Akkadians shall also be stripped of her god-hood and cast out until such a day that her own innocence is proven. Any caught aiding her shall be dealt with harshly. Anu said, an odd expression on his face. With a snap of Anu and Odin's fingers, Freya and Nanaja vanished from their spots with their god-hoods revoked they were no longer able to remain in the heavens and were sent plummeting to earth towards their new mortal lives. Fine! But don't say you're doing this to be fair. You're only doing this for them because they happen to be your favorites. Tiamat said darkly before disappearing from her stage.
