Black soulless eyes stared out to the horizon to the east; Beyond the sea of evergreen trees where the proud Kingdom of Nova nestled into the earth stood waiting. Helena scoffed and chuckled under her breath; Her pace steady as she slowly walked along an abandon road that that had been carved out of one of the many jagged mountain faces of Heaven's Pass. The road leading down to the Forever Forest that seemed so vary far below from where she stopped to take a small moment to take in the majestic view. The Festival of The Gods had come to an end and the crisp cool air of autumn was nipping away at her. A chilly breeze tickled away at her cheeks as she tilted her head back to look over her shoulder. Close behind her; following like a red tail of humanoid figures a band of her more devout Priestesses stood in a line. A pleasant sight that curled her lips to form a demented smile.
" oh God, somebody help us." A rasp, desperate voice plead down at Helena's feet. Her half shaved head lowered to stare down at the thick black chains in her hands. The heavy rusted black metal breaking off into two which linked down to a large spiked black neck shackle. The spikes rusted at the tips, however the wearer had by now learned not to let the metal rest upon the bare flesh. Hunched down on all fours, on hand and knees two naked like the day they were born fated men crawled along the mountain floor. Their hands and knees shredded from hours of walking in the harsh temperature and rough terrain of the mountains. The men, barely even looked human as they shook and one man cried, too exhausted to care anymore. Their spirits broken. Just the way she liked them….
Helena cracked a smile, her lips curling back while her tongue licked along the edges of her mouth. Not sure which one was the one who plead for his life, she bent down to pick up the first fated man with tears in his eyes. Her fingers wrapping so easily under the shackle collar and around his skinny little neck.
" You scum of the earth, Pets do not get to beg for their life or freedom. That is why they are called Pets." Helena hissed, bringing the man closer to her face and licking the side of his cheek with a long slender tongue. The poor man's eyes wide like saucers as he began to panic feeling her grip tighten around her neck. He scrambled to see if anyone was watching, witnessing what was happening to him. He scrambled to believe that someone would come to save him. That someone that was following behind this woman would help, but sadly no one moved a inch to his rescue. The terrified man could do nothing else but look onto the line of masked, crimson cloaked figures un-aware of what had just happened to him in his last moments of desperation. Blood trickling down his face as his eyes rolled back into his head, his body going limp in the Goddesses grip. Half his skull and missing at the back of his head, the chard skin goddess smacking her lips as red dripped down her chin. The sound of bones crunching in her mouth causing the other Fated man at her feet to shake and tremble with fear. Helena held the corpse for a moment, just long enough for her to chew and swallow what she had bitten off. A snap of her wrist and she breaks the chain he was attached to and flung him down the face of the mountain. Her long tongue licking up what was left behind on her chin.
" I say, you Fated taste far better than the natives. However, I tire of smelling that bastard scent where ever I go. I thought I had sealed that vermin in that damn dagger for all eternity! How in the name of AllFather am I still finding his scent on those damn mortals!? It makes no sense?! Unless….." Helena paused, a wicked smile suddenly crawling up her dark features. A quick burst of laughter escaped, causing her followers to jump a little in place. Shocked at seeing their beloved deity suddenly go from angry to laughing hysterically.
" I SEE! So that's how you play Fate! I have gravely underestimated your abilities…however, if no one is going to remove the stain in this worlds balance of order; Then I too can create a little chaos of my own and clean up what Mylee has not ordered my loathsome father to do. So It's still up to me to find that dirty mutt and wipe every bit of his wretched existence from the face of this earth! " Helena hissed, a dark magic seeping from her hands like a red smoke. The smoke would spread and follow low towards the ground, crawling along the earth's floor like a bright crimson blanket. Her lips barely parted as she spoke out the incantations of the spell.
" Rise and Cleans…Rise and Cleans!" Helena began to chant, starting off soft barely above a whisper until finally yelling out the words at the top of her lungs. The red smoke continued to pour out from her hands, crawling and spreading through out the passages, cracks, and valleys that lead down to the Forest. The smoke only stopping when she stopped yelling out. "Rise and Cleans." As the smoke traveled, The earth it touched trembled and became loose enough for the dead to rise in the wake of the smoke. An as it traveled, so too did the bodies begin to rise. The now animated dead slowly making their way to the capital city.
