Ch 2 Anointed By The Deities

  The supreme divine emperor of Treas sits regally on his throne and hears of the plunder. His armies had invaded the neighboring tribes of Fresui. And I as his noble adviser have the great honor of telling him about it.

  “The Fresui armies are completely destroyed, all of their treasures are ours and now their peoples are at our mercy.” I say.

  The great Kes emperor shifts in the silver and cyan colored seat and speaks in a booming voice, “Excellent,” he says. “Now all we do must pray for forgiveness from Grea before slaughtering them all.”

  “Of course.” I say “shall we bring in the Grand Seer.”

  “Yes, adviser Helha, bring me the Grand Seer.” he says to me.

  I leave the divine throne room past the massive silver and cyan doors. I look back at the king as the doors close and the king looks satisfied sitting on his throne knowing he has won.

  When the doors finally close I begin to look for the Grand Seer. but to no avail she should have been waiting outside the door as I instructed her so it’s strange that see is not there.

  I ask a Fas maid servant “where is the Grand Seer?”

  “I believe she returned to her room.” said the Fas. “She didn’t seem to be acting normally.”

  “That’s no good.” I say the Grand Seer must be full of poise and beauty at all times; she must always be a symbol for the kingdom. She speaks with the gods so she must be divine in herself. She’s a weapon for the state so acting on her own is no good at all. “So she’s in her room. I simply must grab her.”

  “Of course.” says the maid servant. But as I leave I hear that servant say to another. “I’m so glad I’m not the Grand Seer.”

  I walk towards the room of the Grand Seer. She lies past many statues of deities past ancient holy relics and past coffins of ancient kings all silver and cyan in color. As they are holy they are full of images of the most holy of beasts, great earth dragons and storm lions.

  But something is off, there's a lack of holy people. This part of the palace is normally full of religious leaders and various types of holy people. They are supposed to keep track of the Grand Seer and instruct her on what to do but none are here.

  “What is happening?” I say to myself.

  The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

  I soon reach the room of the Grand Seer. Her doors are of course silver and cyan and covered in holy beasts. Most importantly though they are massive so she cannot leave without the permission of someone more powerful. Someone like me.

  I knock on her door. To get no response so I open them slowly as they are heavy. Then I look into the room to see the Grand Seer.

  Seer is an ancient title given to Fas gifted with the power to hear the words of the deities. They have the power to hear and see gods and thus communicate their will to the people and speak to them with our response. They are important to keep the powers of the deities on the emperor's side. And also the people as many of the populous hear the words of deities through them.

  But they can do the opposite: they can get the people who listen to them to be against the empire. For that reason we must keep the Seers close to us so we may get rid of the ones who rebel.

  But more important than any of them is the Grand Seer. The Grand Seer is a title given by the empire to the most useful Seer. They are most important because people see them as a power of the empire.

  So then of course the Grand Seer is a part of the empire and like the empire she must be beautiful, divine, and full of poise. She must be known as the most beautiful person on all of Grivos.

  And our Grand Seer was all that, her dark blue skin shone in the moonlight and her silver hair was obviously divine. She is the type of Fas that I would take for myself if I had that power.

  But this is so wrong the Grand Seer must be a perfect being she shouldn’t move like this she should move with poise and grace. It is her job to be beautiful and loved. This is wrong. She must be corrected.

  She spasms out on the ground with foam in her mouth, her skin peels and her eyes look blankly out into the distance. Her hands twitched and her legs peddled as if she was swimming. It was a horrible sight. One that the Grand Seer should never show to anyone.

  “Grand Seer!” I say, “what are you doing sprawled out on the ground.”

  She rolls over seemingly in a painful way to look at me blank eyed and says “doom has come to our home.”

  “Who cares why are you convulsing on the ground,” I say, “you need to get up or you will be punished again.”

  “No, no please,” she says, “the gods are all sending me messages at once. I can’t think straight I can’t do a thing”

  “What if a maid saw you like this.” I say.

  “Ours is not the only world there are others and a being has come from another. It is all powerful and anti-divine.” she says.

  “Are you saying sacrilege?” I say looking at the Fas woman she has a scared face I sigh and say. “guards get in here.”

  “A few come and grab her.”

  One says “is she acting out again?”

  “We might need to replace her again, she’s saying things that are madness and divining things that are of no use to the empire.” I say.

  The priestess shakes her head and says “you have to believe me. More than the empire, the world is at stake.”

  “Enough I’ll discuss with the divine leaders on what to do with her. Take her to the dungeon” I say. “This is annoying. I’ll have to find someone else to lead our prayers for now”

  “No, don't take me to that place.” says the priestess.

  I walk out of the room as the guards take her off to the dungeon.
