《The Book of The Gods》Chapter 17

I nervously walk down the hall to go outside. "She's just another rich girl who has everything." Isabella says. When she notices me she smiles with a menacing stare. "I hate girls like that, nothing but a crybaby that clings to daddy." She says as she walks toward the rest of the children. "She's so weird." Isabella says. "Yeah, I was looking at her when her dad left, and you would not believe what I saw." Another girl says. "She was crying!" Isabella says hysterically as they all laugh. "Uhgh, crying like a first grader, I'm definitely not playing with her." Justin says. "What was her name again?" Isabella asks deviously. "CJ, more like Pee, J." They laugh. "That's mean! You shouldn't be so inconsiderate!" Isabel says. "Yeah everyone is different." Sofia says softly. Isabella scoffs and walks quickly towards me. "You're nothing but TRASH!" She screams in my face. "Go on and run home to daddy." She teases and I run away. I feel an uncomfortably warm fuzzy feeling in my tummy. I feel like something is wrong with me, it hurts.
Within Dövé's rule forsaken Gods were born. These Gods were the result of affairs between families and thus had no parents. They were disowned and banished from entering heaven. They would be scorned and mocked by everyone that saw them. One God was born unto Borea in this way. She was without a name or title simply called Chance. She was thrown out of heaven and dwelled on the earth. She granted fortune and misfortune to all life. Especially humans that took the initiative to make bets with The God of Probability herself.
"We're going to grandma's house tomorrow ok CJ?" Mommy says. "Wow! Can we go to the lake too!?" I ask excitedly. "We can see the big lake monster again!" My eyes sparkle. "No, we won't be able to go there…" Mommy says with half a smile. "Onera, what's wrong?" Daddy asks kindly. "Can we… talk outside?" She says and glances at me sitting on the bed. "Sure." He gently takes her hand… After momentary silence I sneak over to the door. "I'm afraid it will become a problem as she grows older." I hear the tears in my mother's voice. "She's just a child, it's ok." Daddy says to comfort her. I return to sit on the bed as daddy walks back in. "Nimueh, the lady of the lake." He says, "She is the guardian of the castle. She looks like a monster to everyone except the king." He whispers. I smile.

When we get to grandma's house we walk to the big gates. Mommy takes out a shiny rainbow key with a bird attached. I stare at its mesmerizing glow as she lifts it to the camera. Moments later the black gates of heaven opened just wide enough for us to pass. "Good morning William." Daddy says politely to the gardener. "Wonderful morning, your highness." The gardener bows. I look around the endless garden littered with flowers of every color. The knocking of our fancy shoes on the stone pathway is gentle and calming. The house we are walking to seems tiny. I look up at mommy's smile. When we arrive at the door, the house is so large I can't even reach the doorknob. Then the door magically opens up and we are greeted by various butlers. "Would you like to remove your shoes, malady?" Smith kindly asks me on one knee. "I'd be delighted to have your assistance." I smile at him.
When we walk into the huge ballroom there are only adults. The dim lights and glitter floor catches my eye. The golden ribbons sway in the soft air conditioning. The faint aroma of alcoholic champagne caresses the air. I squeeze my hands together politely as I smile. Clink Clink Clink* Grandma and Grandpa knock their glasses. "Thank you everyone for being here." Grandma says, "May the Xander family live on for eternity!" Grandpa cheers. "Happy Anniversary!" They all cheer. The thump from the mic startles me. "David! What a pleasure to see you, my son." Grandpa points. "Come on over to give mom and dad a big hug." He continues. I feel mommy's hand gently rest behind my back. Grandma and grandpa hug daddy. Grandpa picks me up and kisses my forehead. "You're such an adorable air." He says. "Yes, you have such a beautiful daughter David." Grandma rubs her hand against daddy's shoulder. I look over to mommy. She keeps on a bright smile.

"CJ, I'm here for you, ok?" Daddy said as he kissed my forehead. I cried myself to sleep in his arms.

8 145The Mountains of Mourning
After his rebellion failed, Patrick and his team escaped to another world, thinking to be safe there, and live out what remained of their broken lives in whatever peace they might find. But the world he found wasn't the one he expected, and that remainder of his life threatened to become very short, unless he found a way to survive in this monster-ridden hostile environment. To make matters worse, more refugees started to come in, falling through portals, disturbing the balance. With them they brought tales of war and chaos, the horrors of those who were left behind, and the ravenous hunger for blood of the Tyrant they thought they left behind. Unable to leave the new settlers to their fate, Patrick and his team take on the roles that are pushed onto them, some with enthusiasm, some with reluctance, all striving to build a better world than the one they left behind. They should have realized that portals that open once, can be opened again, and that what they thought they left behind, might one day catch up.
