Soul Thief
As Edol died, Mira turned from white to gold.
They had scattered from Edol's Domain as it began to collapse, found themselves in the stars watching Mira change color.
She was like young star.
Despond watched with amazement. Athena had actually feared this was chaos even she could not withstand.
Mira looked at her hands now turned golden like Edol's.
"Mira," Despond said, "you must be our new Sage."
Mira was not ready for any such responsiblity, but she knew deep in her heart she was meant to be.
"What does this mean?" she asked.
"You must answer that yourself, Little Goddess," said Athena.
"The humans," Mira said.
Athena and Despond looked at each other.
Mira said, "We must return the humans' souls back to them. Immediately!"
She grasped the arms of Athena and Despond, brought them to Earth to fix the disaster Edol had caused.
And these three Gods, of War, of Despair and of Peace, returned to Earth to deliever the humans' souls back to them, where these souls rightfully belonged. And where they would not be touched again in any case of enraged, godly jealousy.
And for once, Athena and Despond found themselves not so much causing trouble, but fixing trouble.
Despond had seperated himself from these pitiful creatures since his loss of his beloved Zacharie, but found a new hope and joy within humans watching them venture into Heaven.
Athena had yet to be convinced these humans were as worthwhile, but did enjoy sending them to the Hells.
And Mira looked on at her work and found that perhaps she belonged here on Earth as well, as not a God to humans, but as a friend.
