(The same night: The Divine realm)
Rionaya smiled, enjoying the entertainment that had become consistent, the blissful moment that soothed her thoughts and mind, the serene atmosphere that hid away her longing to break the monotony.
" Your Majesty! ",
Eron's sudden call jolted her out of her peaceful embrace. She glared at him sharply,
" Have you lost your senses? What makes you startle me like that?",
" I'm sorry my lord, it's very urgent".
She rolled her eyes and raised her palm, stopping the show immediately before turning back to him.
" What's it?",
" You have been summoned, my lord, to the divine courtroom."
Naya frowned as she heard that, and she wondered what was going on.
The huge golden door opened for Naya to walk in with Eron strolling behind her. All eyes turned to her as she strode in, her soundless walking steps against the bright white glassy floor. She bowed slightly before the king using the corner of her eyes to scan the golden room.
' why have all the gods gathered? What's going on?', she speaks in her mind,
" You summoned for me, my lord",
" Yes, Rionaya. And we have all gathered here because of you ".
Surprised, she pointed at herself, " for me? Why?",
" Every god here came in anger to report you and request for you to be punished, "the god of heaven says.
" Punish me? For what?", she asked before looking at the gods one after the other.
Present in the room is the god of the sun, her brother, and her sister, who is also a moon goddess (Selene). Apart from those two and the king, there are seven other gods present, the god of anger and revenge, the god of sky and thunder, the god of wisdom, war and fate, the god of creation, the god of nature, the god of night and darkness, and the god of the underworld.
" What have I done to you to come and report me?" she asked, looking at them one after the other with confusion.
" Rionaya! Your ignorant actions and decisions have not only endangered the werewolf world but also claimed a beloved life", the god of anger spoke angrily,
" Stop talking in parables, what decision did I make that cost a life or endanger the world?", she asked confidently,
" Naya!" the king called, " your eyes have gone blind, and your mind has been distracted, a soul scream and curse echoed through the whole universe, and yet your ears have been deaf. You made actions that wrongly claim lives and you shall be punished",
" I can't take a punishment for something I don't know, my eyes have been wide opened, my mind is clear like a crystal, and my ears are very much active",
"How true is that? Where were your eyes when you were choosing the mate, where was your mind during the choosing moment?", the king asked,
" It was in the right place ",
" Then why was Scarlett given to the wrong mate?", he asked,
" That's not possible, "she defended and summoned the mating scroll, where she confirmed what she had done; Scarlett was indeed bestowed to the wrong mate.
Her brow furrowed as she realized her mistake.
" I made a mistake", she muttered,
" A mistake? Have you forgotten about the prophecy? You were supposed to promote love, and harmony and guide the werewolves, not make mistakes", the god of sky and thunder said,
" No one is an above mistake",
" You're not a no one, you're the moon goddess, you should do your duty",
" Which I did, what happened was a mistake, and it's been fifty years of the prophecy and nothing happened",
" Is that why you became nonchalant?", the king asked,
" No, I did not become nonchalant. I apologize for the mistake, but this isn't entirely my fault; I made the decision, but the action is not by me; it is by the ignorant werewolves who know nothing. I've chosen mates countless times that they rejected, they chose to treat their mates however they want which is not my fault ",
" you should hold accountability for what you did, what happened was the result of your wrong decision", her brother said,
' how could he say that? Isn't he supposed to be siding with me right now?'.
Naya glared at him, " should I also be held responsible for something a mere werewolf did?",
" This is what you did, and seeing that you're not ready to see what you've done or hold up to it which will make your punishment now become severe, and during your punishment period, you'll be taken away from your throne ",
'This is ridiculous!' she fumed in her mind.
" I've done my duties for thousands of years diligently, guiding, protecting, loving, and watching, but those were not seen or considered. But now that I made a mistake, you all gather up against me, requesting me to be dethroned", she laughed in disbelief, " I've carried out my duties like every one of you and I'll not take the blame for someone else actions",
"As I said, you're still blind, deaf, and distracted. Until you find your compassion, and empathy and free the curse, you shall remain punished ",
" What curse? Who was I not compassionate about?",
" you should hold accountability for what you did, what happened was the result of your wrong decision", her brother said,
' how could he say that? Isn't he supposed to be siding with me right now?'.
Naya glared at him, " should I also be held responsible for something a mere werewolf did?",
" This is what you did, and seeing that you're not ready to see what you've done or hold up to it which will make your punishment now become severe, and during your punishment period, you'll be taken away from your throne ",
'This is ridiculous!' she fumed in her mind.
" I've done my duties for thousands of years diligently, guiding, protecting, loving, and watching, but that was not seen or considered. But now that I made a mistake, you all gather up against me, requesting me to be dethroned", she laughed in disbelief, " I've carried out my duties like every one of you and I'll not take the blame for someone else actions",
" Like I said, you're still blind, deaf and distracted. Until you find your compassion, and empathy and free the curse, you shall remain punished ",
" What curse? Who was I not compassionate about?",
" That's for you to find out ",
" I can't be punished, the death of whoever died is not my fault ", she fired, " and if I'm dethroned, who's going to carry out those responsibilities you're punishing me for ",
" Till you return, it shall be carried out by your sister ", her brother answered,
She looked sharply at her sister and realized they'd all decided before she arrived.
" This is not fair, this is not fair!" she flared, seeing the king's staff being pointed at her and causing her to disappear slowly.
She kept yelling angrily till her presence in the room vanished, and at that moment, the eyes of an unconscious werewolf flung open with a different eyes color.
