….
Seven gods are sitting around an oval, white table. Beneath them, visible through a transparent disc, is a city made of crystals. It seems like they are just hovering in the sky without the need of any support. Around them stretches a wonderful sky, dyed in shades of blue and red.
Above them, a blue sun is dancing around a black hole.
“I don't believe her! She is playing tricks on us! You guys must see it too. She is spending too much time outside of our surveillance! What is she doing in those void zones?” -Tjenemit
“I agree, but we never had much choice in the matter. She is the only one who can wander through those places. That makes her our fastest weapon. While others have to take detours, she can just walk in a straight line.” Amaru nods at Tjenemit's words, but there is doubt in his voice.
“She is too useful for the hunt. And she brought us countless escapees who didn't approve of our guidance. Sometimes a god she is hunting escapes. But what's the problem with that? Other young gods on the run manage to get away a few times too. Though she is surely acting strange. Maybe we should investigate her a little.” -Eris
“But many who escaped her never turned up again! Here!” Tjenemit throws a few papers onto the table. “There are countless cases! It goes back as far as our records about her reach! I want to know what happened to them!
“I don't care, even if she locks them up somewhere to play her games. We gave her that freedom for those two too. If someone of her usefulness asks for a favour, you should grant it once in a while. And who cares if she takes some of those she caught for herself?” -Elohim

Enyo stretches in her chair and speaks with a bored voice.
“I think so too. Eternity is long, you need a hobby. I don't know which sick side of hers she is hiding from us. And I don't care, as long as she does her job and those who vanished never turn up again.”
“I still think you guys make a big mistake by turning a blind eye on her! It was a big mistake to give her those two when she asked for it! We should have locked them inside the black hole too! She is planning something. I feel it! And soon, I will be able to prove it!” -Tjenemit
“How?” -El Shaddai
“I invested quite some time to research her favourite void zone. And I think that something is in there!” -Tjenemit
“I am sure, if we would just talk to her we could reach a consensus.” -Lada
Tjenemit throws a disapproving look into Lada's direction.
”I have already sent a message into the void zone. It contains a summoning circle for myself. If we are lucky, someone inside will find it and summon me there. With the circle I will have a perfect conjuring point. I will also be able to use it again to return.” -Tjenemit
“Does Seria know about this?” -El Shaddai
“No. It would be stupid to try this with her knowledge. She would try to stop me. I could even be caught inside the void zone!” -Tjenemit
“I still think that we should talk. Seria is a trusted aide. If we plan something like this behind her back it could destroy our relationship.” Lada throws a pleading look at the others.
“I know that you are a goddess of harmony Lada, but you are too trusting.” Amaru shakes his head.

“A god of wisdom should know better. This is not the right path!” -Lada
“Then we will take a vote to decide. Speak now! Who is against Tjenemit in this.” -El Shaddai
“I am!” -Lada
“I don't believe it to be the right step either.” -Elohim
“I will do it!” -Amaru
“Let him try.” -Eris
“I am not against it either.” -El Shaddai
Everyone looks at Enyo, but she shrugs her shoulders. “I don't care. Tell me if I can crush something, then I will decide.”
“So we have three voices in favour of the plan, two against it and one without opinion. So you will go through with your plan Tjenemit.” El Shaddai sums it up. “I will leave then. There is much to do.”
El Shaddai vanishes.
“Nice! Boring talks are done! Time to crush something!” Enyo blinks out of existence.
“Then I will retreat too. I will have to meditate, in order to find the summoning circle.” Tjenemit fades away.
“Sorry Lada, but creating discord is my forte! So I have to assist Tjenemit in this.” Eris dissolves into particles of light with a smirk on her face.
“This is wrong. Elohim, you know it too!” Lada turns to Elohim.
“I am sorry Lada, but I don't agree with you. I may have voted with you, but for different reasons. In my opinion Seria should be left alone, because she never betrayed our trust. But if she would be planning something like Tjenemit thinks of her....... well.
But Tjenemit doesn't have proof. He has just one of his stupid feelings. So I am against kicking the bee hive just to test if there are some killer bees or normal honey bees inside, if you understand? Even normal bees get mad if their hive is kicked. Seria has done nothing to deserve that.”
Elohim waves and vanishes too, leaving a sick looking Lada behind.
Lada grabs the papers on the table, which Tjenemit left behind and starts to read.
