The Blood Of A Deity

“The one imprisoned, and bound by chains for a thousand years shall awaken and fate will move once more”

"The mortal girl will find hope soon, in the form of despair."

"The beginning of the end is near."

voices from heavens whispered far beyond the sky, they were watching.

Far below, beneath the stormy sky, Jane was falling apart.

"It’s brain cancer, Miss Jane."

"With surgery, you might live a year. Without it… four to five months at most."

The doctor’s words lingered in her mind like a cruel joke, she was so lost in her thoughts

She walked under the heavy rain and her feet were moving on their own.

She didn’t know where she was going, She didn’t care.

The world felt unreal. Like she had already died, and no one had told her yet.

"Why was I even born if I was meant to die like this? I haven't even lived my life to the fullest, what about the things I'm yet to do?

How will my mom cope without me?”

She clenched her fists and her nails were digging into her palms in a painful manner but she didn't care.

The cold rain couldn’t wash away the anger, the unfairness of it all. Then, without realizing it, She stepped into another dimension, a place where no mortal could ever locate.

The next thing she saw was Fog all over the place, the street lights were no more and the sound of cars, voices ... .gone.

Only silence remained.

Jane frowned, blinking against the rain.

Where am I ?

She turned back, The road she had walked was no longer there. She wasn’t lost. She was somewhere that should not exist.

However she wasn't scared, she was already prepared for death, what else could happen to her if not death?

She threw back her head and screamed

"If this world is so cruel, let it all disappear! Let everyone perish”

With tears in her eyes the sky split apart, Lightning tore through the mist, striking the ground with a powerful roar.

Before her, something appeared, it was like a stone monument wrapped in chains. And then..

SNAP.

The first chain shattered.

Then another.

Then all of them.

The sky wept even harder, the wind made crazy noises like a living thing.

Then he appeared, The deity of misfortune

He stepped forward, very tall, powerful and unreal, his Dark hair slicked back from the rain.

He wore a long black coat that could barely move in the storm.

He stretched his hands which made cracking sounds, then his neck.

He gave out a sigh of relief

Then, slowly, he smiled.

"Was it you? Did you call for me?"

Jane stumbled back, her breath catching in her throat.

"W… Who are you?"

He tilted his head and was amused.

And in a voice as smooth as silk and as dangerous as a blade, he answered

"I am called Misfortune . And thanks to you… I am free."

Thunder crashed.

And from that moment Jane's fate was no longer her own.

The next morning. Jane woke to the sound of her phone’s alarm. She stretched her arm to grab it from the small desk beside her bed.

Her head was still dizzy from last night.
