The throne room of the king of the heavens held a mix of emotions; shouting and arguing, sadness and stillness and a silent curly haired, green eyes young man. “And until you find the end to your marks you will not return to the heavens. The answers you seek lie in the eyes of the goddess.” A noble man raised his hand into the air, the room filled with a great light and the six individuals in front of him vanished. The King slowly placed himself back onto his gallant throne, propped up his elbow and rested his chin in his hand. “Aw young one, will you continue to torment yourself or will you finally find peace?”

As the Gods fell from the sky the conversation began. “The answers you seek lie in the eyes of a goddess?” The youngest god repeated his voice solemn and depressed. 

“Yes Axel, that is what he said; judging by the King’s demeanor, he must know much more than he’s telling us.” The elder of the gods said as he crossed his arms during their fall.

“That trickster of a King knows exactly what he’s doing. I’ll be back in the heavens in no time.” The smirking brunette said laying back as the people fell from the key.

The goddess with the dark violet hair who was falling among the gods clicked her tongue in rage towards the smirking man. “Shut your mouth you worthless lion. You know nothing of the King’s plans.”

“Scorpio be still.” The black haired man with a professional presence said in an authority tone. “Leon knows as much as the rest of us. He is just making a guess.”

“Director Stick in the Mud knows nothing; I at least know where I stand.” Leon said in a casual tone giving a shrug. 

“I think we should split up.” The more mature looking one spoke up once again, “Finding the goddess that the king mentioned should be our number one priority.”

“I agree with Hue.” The silent one finally spoke up. “We’ll meet at the mansion and report anything that we have found. Despite the king’s rough treatment of us, he would never set us up to fail. The god we’re looking for must be in the city.”

“Curt is right.” Axel said speaking up, sounding much full of more hope than he had been when they first were summoned to the palace. “If we take the time to split up and search we’ll have a better shot at finding the person we need.”

“It’s nighttime Axel,” Scorpio said as they continued to fall. “The likeness of any disgusting human being awake right now is next to none. We should go to the manner and resume the hunt in the morning.” The other gods seemed to agree while the youngest looked disappointed.

“It doesn’t hurt to look…” He muttered under his breath as he eyed his supervisor. Scorpio and Axel looked at each other for a moment before she shrugged with a muttering of ‘be careful and stay calm’ before she turned and flew off towards the location of the mansion. 

Soon the other gods left as well and Axel was left on his own. His focus so hard on the fact that he wanted his sin erased that he didn’t realize he was falling a bit fast. “Whoa!” He called out before [b]SPLAT[/b] he landed hard on the ground near the back of an apartment building. “Owwww….” He muttered as he stared up at the sky feeling as though he was seeing stars. Oh boy, that knocked the wind out of him.
