Soul Thief
Athena turned to look at Mira.
Mira was taller than Athena and had long white hair that flittered around her. She had the presence of Oberon but the face of Athena.
Mira's skin glowed too, and from her back she sprouted her large, white wings.
Athena was far more intimidated now, stepped back from Mira.
"Why are you here?" Athena demanded.
"I had to rescue that child," said Mira.
While Athena shouted, Mira spoke softly and clearly.
Athena looked Mira up and down, refused to believe she could have created a God as soft yet bright as this one.
Mira seemed to read Athena's thoughts. She said, "You and Oberon created me. And for that, I am thankful. Yet I am very lost and confused. The only thing I know for certain is that my name is Mira."
Mira tried to muster a smile for Athena. But Athena was offended, sulked back and deeper into Irene's Domain.
"That's not possible. What do you do?" Athena asked.
"I don't know," said the Goddess with angel wings.
She said, "I don't mean to frighten you, Athena."
"I'm not frightened," hissed Athena.
Athena vanished, returned to her own domain.
Mira stood, alone, in Irene's Domain.
She went along and vanquished all the pests Athena had put there. It seemed like her calling.
She had not met Irene, but tucked glittering gems in the petals of Irene's flowers.
As the morning light struck the tall windows within Irene's Domain, not only did those gems shimmer, but so did this new Goddess.
