Soul Thief
Mira wandered into Despond's Domain one day, for his was close to hers and she must have missed a step.
Despond was started, shot a bolt of fire at her before he realized who she was.
Mira seemed unfazed. The fire struck her but did no harm.
"What are you doing here?" Despond demanded.
"I'm Mira. You must be Despond. I did not mean to come here but I'm glad I finally get to meet you," Mira said.
She smiled but Despond scowled.
"You are that Goddess Athena created," Despond said.
"Yes, but I would like to be known for more than that."
"You have Irene's beauty," Despond said. "But I wonder what Oberon has given you."
Despond didn't have to wonder for long. Mira was direct and did not understand Despond's tone of voice.
"Me too," Mira said.
"Do you have any powers?" Despond asked.
"The humans have no souls. That is because Edol took them all," Mira said.
Despond was silent, stunned.
"What?"
"I don't know what my powers are. But I do know I have callings. And I answer them," she said, then quickly added, "like how I stole that child. I knew I had to, but I didn't know why. But now it has worked out well."
Despond immediately summoned Athena, told Mira to tell Athena what she told him.
Athena was surprised as well, but also excited. This meant chaos.
"Little Goddess of Peace," Athena said. "I don't believe you are of Peace at all."
Mira was confused.
