The Guardian gods

37  Sleep

As soon as the male soul saw the arm, it seemed to notice what was about to happen to it, it immediately rushed to the woman to attack her but she was swift and moved out of the way and as she continued dodging she never stopped singing.

A whole totten body soon got out of the grave and it shows that it has been quite sometime that this body has been buried as you can see maggots eating off the skin and the bones in the body were making their appearance.

Once the whole body of the rotten corpse got out, the male soul chasing the woman seemed to have got stuck in the air and just froze there. It could be seen that he was just an arm reach from reaching the woman but it never breached that distance.

A pleading look soon came over the male soul and by this time the woman had stopped singing and the same twisted smile came upon her face, she reached out to the male soul neck and a collar formed out of nowhere adhered to the male soul neck.

After the collar came a long chain held strong on the woman's hand, with her other free hand, she pushed the male soul back and with no resistance the male soul got back into the rotten corpse.

Life seemed to come into the corpse as it immediately let out a roar full of anger at the woman but the woman's soul had no fear as she walked to the corpse, soon she stood before the corpse and the corpse immediately took a knee.

If Ikenga was here, he would find that this scene seemed so familiar to how a knight is showing his pledge and allegiance to a princess.

As soon as the male corpse took a knee, keles felt her realm react again and this time it was her realm asking for her allowance to bless the woman's soul.

Intrigued by what was happening in front of her, keles went ahead with the blessing and a transformation took hold in the woman soul, if before it could be said that she was a normal looking female figure, this transformation took her up a notch and that wasn't the only change, souls usually doesn't have legs and they look corporeal like you can you can see through them.

This time the woman soul gained a leg after her transformation and her corporal form now look more full like it could be touched, the corpse watched the transformation and an emotion appeared in its eyes similar to the look that a man shows when he is attracted to a woman showed in its eyes, the woman soul seems to notice the look but paid no find to the male corpse, anger showed on the corpse eyes but for some reason it can't seem to act against the woman.

Keles and her children watched the whole transformation take place, both her child have no idea on what was happening but since keles was involved in the creation, she understood everything but that still didn't make her happy as she has come to understand that anything that relates to her doesn't always fit in well with the living.

Shaking her head, a gulf of black smoke emerged from her, covering everything around and with that, a moment later the smoke receded with no one around the area any longer. Keles now felt like she has tried every option as she is now back in her realm contemplating, she felt how two of her siblings have gone into deep sleep and having nothing to do as it seems for her children's creation to grace itself upon this world she will be needing a lot of consent from both her siblings and mother.

Keles now entertains the idea of having to go into a deep sleep herself but before that, she needs to make sure of something from both her children, with a mental call she connected with both Roth and Xerosis. It took but a moment as a small bat flew into keles palace and right behind the bat was a small see through crow with a gloomy gray light all over it.

Both birds flew into Keles palace with the bath turning into Roth and the crow into a xerosis ghost like figure, they both took a knee as they looked up to their mother who sat on her throne.

" Xerosis, Roth. I will soon be going into a deep sleep, " Keles informed her children but she noticed a wave of fear and concern passing through her children's eyes.

" No need to worry, It's just a sleep to pass time, when the right time comes i will be woken until then Roth" Keles called out to her son.

" Yes mother "

" During my sleep, tour the realm and take notes of any changes, both big or small, i will be the one to judge how big or small the change it, tour the realm and make sure you occasionally go out and test more of your abilities on the living to see its effect "

" What should I do with the result of the test? " Roth asked, already having an idea of the answer he will receive.

" Kill them and make sure none of it gets out, " Keles answered with a stern tone, before taking her eyes off him to look at her daughter.

" Xerosis "

" Yes, mother " Xerosis' sweet voice sounded out in the empty palace.

" I need not much from you daughter, except that i want you to continue with your transformation of those female souls, if possible come up with a name for them"

" Yes mother"

" As we both have noticed Xerosis, some female souls doesn't have much resentment to come out as intelligent after there transformation, Let those souls be as they don't have to be forcefully transformed, proceed with the ones qualified and make sure you accompany each soul during the moment the are transported out of the realm, make sure that they all come back and incase of uncertainty, inform your brother before taking action " Keles stated as she looked at both her and her son.

" Understood " they both answered at the same time.

" One more thing, during my sleep add more buildings to the realm. I feel like there will be a change the next time I wake up, so be prepared and never stop with your training now, leave" Keles waved her as a gloomy wind blew both Roth and Xerosis out of the palace before they knew what was happening.

Xerosis and Roth looked confused as they now found themselves outside their mom's palace, it took a moment before they reacted before shouting out " Sleep well, mother " All that answered them was the tall dark palace door closing in their face.

They both sighed seeing that but soon perked up with excitement all over their face as they heard their a whisper carried by the wind pass through both of their ears " Take care and be safe children "

Roth looked at her sister who was also looking at him, nothing was said but he knew that his sister understood and he turned back into a bat and flew away ready to start with the work his mother prepared for him.
