Re: Kingdom of Yoruba Gods

His ears detected restraint from the goddess's lips,"speak your
mind my child,you have that right just much as the next god".
Olorun loved to listen to people's opinion even if it didn't
have no justification nor reasoning in it."Because who I am
doesn't mean you have to adjust to me, If I'm wrong say it.If I
misunderstand or you disagree then bring it to my attention . I
prefer all my child to speak how they feel then to hold there
tongue and let it build up with a bitter taste of unspoken words
.Please my dear Oya speak freely". The god waited on a response
if there was truly one .
With Oya's breezs Olorun gave them light in there darkest hour
, It was a sigh of hope , which they needed at that time. But
even with his offering for hope an apology they still damn the
god .He understood there pain and forgave there blind anger and
hurtful words towards him.
"It seems we will be having guess , Please welcome them like
there our own Oya . Please, for me" Olorun was extremely proud
of Esu, He himself couldn't handle the situation any better . He
stayed pose , even under threat , took the peaceful way like the
god himself would want .Esu spoke too the women like an equal
and not like she was inferior . Olorun had seem enough to please
him and awaited for his son and his guess to arrive so he
himself could greet them with open arms.

Oya watched the humans with little amusement as they cursed the
situation as well as their gods. It displeased her to see them
so ungrateful and so she revoked the gentle breeze and sent
forth a strong wind that tested their balance as well as their
patience. The few who had held their tongues remained untouched
by her annoyance.
"I do not judge them," she replied, her eyes flashing as she
calmed the wind once again. "However, I see no issue with
testing their loyalties. Those who stand strong, I grant
blessings to."
With a decisive shake of her head, Oya turned her back on the
humans and listened to Olorun. A brow arched along her forehead
as she scrutinized him.
"If you are hinting that I mishandled the situation, I would
have to disagree. I withheld the urge to fight them with more
than my tongue and I still doubt my decision," Oya stated in
defense before she sighed. "E u did well. He usually does but
then again that is probably why he is the trickery god."
The goddess pressed her thumb to her lower lip thoughtfully as
her eyes fell from Olorun's.
"Guests, are sometimes wolves in sheep's clothing, my friend. We
would do well to remain wary of them until there is more
information about them."
It was clear Oya did not trust them but she had enough wisdom to
know when to bite her tongue.

Her emotions travel with the wind ,an gentle breeze shifted into
a guest of wind . The humans reaction displease her quite a bit
, he would not hold that against her instead he would let her
emotion flow free like the wind .She had a valid point about
there loyalty . It was no question in fact it was shady at times
,but the god couldn't change human nature , he could only show
them the path and the door, as there right to choose they had
that right too either follow it or not
"Scrutized? My dear Oya that's the last thing I would ever do ,
you handle the situation with good judgment . You stay on your
toes and thought with your head instead of following emotions. I
didn't bring the subject up because there was no need to . I
apologize if I defended you in any time of way " Olorun close
his eyes in an disappointment matter, his words seem to be
hurting her more then anything . His silence seem to be the best
answer for the moment.
She poke about the guess that was about to arrive . She place a
smile on his face "This is true , but remember this . The
predator can also become the pray .Plus I have you you and Esu
just incase ." He looked at the goddess and his emotion shift
again."If you choose to bite your tongue then that on you but
when you want to finally say something don't be upset when it
abandons you for abusing it with your teeth. " The god's
emotions shifted back to a smile as he look the goddess with a
please look.

"Artemis, please!" Enyo pleaded with her half-sister. She had
begun to follow Esu, hoping he would keep her here. "I do not
wish to fight anymore. If Ares learned of this, he would never
allow my wounds to heal. I am a goddess of warfare, I know, but
I want to silence the turmoil within me. He," she pointed at the
ebony skinned god, "is willing show me a path that will lead me
to inner peace, and I plan to take that path. You can go to
Ares, Artemis, and tell him that you could not find me."
"And," she started anew and stopped to face her sister, "Esu is
as much a god as we are. If he were not, he would not have been
able to place a spell upon me. I know you can feel it on me,
Artemis." Enyo knew it would be difficult to convince her sister
that this beautiful, dark being was a god. She had been
skeptical, just as he had been about her. The truth would come
out though, and Artemis would not be able to deny its validity.
Enyo was a bit nervous to meet Esu's father. If he were anything
like her own father, he could be vicious and cruel if his
demands were not met. Being that she was not one of the twelve,
like Artemis, she did her best to remain out of her father's
path. "I doubt I could be the birth of anything on Olympus. I do
not hold a seat in the circle as Artemis does. In fact, I am
what they consider a lesser god, if you will. For me to push new
concepts would likely end in my expulsion from Olympus."
Without much thought, Enyo ran up and took Esu's hand in her
own. It felt good in her grip, though her hand was smaller.
"What should I expect of your father, Esu? Are there any
courtesies that I should show him? I do not wish to disrespect
him in his own domain. I already feel horrible about
disrespecting the goddess." As she walked with Esu, Enyo glanced
back at her sister, wondering what her decision might be.

Artemis looked skeptically at Enyo, then to the man. “You don’t
understand.” She said, a near-pleading look entering her eyes.
“Two weeks. Ares gave me two weeks to get you back,” She began,
turning her eyes back to Enyo. “He’s an impatient man, and will
likely come looking for the both of us in a few days if I
haven’t returned with you.” Now her eyes settled on the man, and
as weak as the light in them were, her body remained strong and
stoic. “If he comes he will be furious. Your home will be
destroyed – you will be destroyed. He won’t stop, not even when
he gets Enyo. Especially when he finds out you’re gods…” Her
throat tightened up, and she cursed herself for it. Artemis was
the goddess of hunt, she had seen and done her fair share of
killing. But Ares took it to a whole different level, one that
even Artemis – and Enyo – had had enough of.
Her teeth chewed thoughtfully on the inside of her cheek. Enyo
seemed to really want to be with this man, whose name she still
didn’t know, and the mention of new game was really tempting.
Artemis clenched her fists at her sides, twitching to go to her
bow just at the thought. How had the dark-skinned man known of
her one and only weakness? Damn him! Once more Artemis’s
beautiful face scrunched up in a glare. Any and all sorrow she
felt for him and his people was gone. If he was so keen on
helping Enyo and his own demise, be her guest. “Fine,” She said
in a voice with the air of finality. Her eyes moved back and
forth between Enyo and the man. “But only a few days. If you do
not communicate with Ares within the next five days, I will, and
he will not be happy with what I have to say to him.”
It was around this time that Artemis began to hear the howls and
yips of her six hunting dogs. A smile appeared on her face,
making it the warmest and welcome it had been since she first
met the man. “I hope you do not mind my companions coming. They
should be here soon…” If the man wished it, she would send her
dogs away, but would prefer if they could stay with her.
“Shall we see your father than?” She questioned with a raised
brow, narrowing her eyes at their intertwined hands. Enyo was
only getting herself in trouble with that man….

Èṣù did not involve himself in the bickering between the
two Goddesses. He did, however, respond when Artemis Addressed
him directly. "Someone, man or God, who is interested in only
destruction will eventually lead himself to his own demise." He
knew well that he was no warrior. But with the power of wisdom,
he had overcome those stronger than him many times, by leading
them to bring themselves down. "And if Ares is as you say he is,
he will not show you mercy if you contact him without Enyo in
hand. You will be the first victim of his rage. For now, I'm
glad you were able to see things my way. I am Èṣù, God of
Crossroads, and guide to those who are lost. Èṣù was known
for many things, but that was what he prided himself on most.
It wouldn't be long before they arrived in Olorun's domain.
Though the Sky God was known as the father of all the Orisha, he
typically was not addressed as such, as he had no part in the
actual conception of them. "Olorun." Èṣù greeted, bowing
to one knee upon his arrival. "I bring with me two Goddesses
from the land of Greece. I found it hard to believe that other
Gods could exist, but it is indeed true. Enyo here is seeking
her own form of enlightenment." He jestured toward Enyo before
continuing. "And Artemis is her escort." The trickster God then
eyed Oya, who had informed him that she would be in bed, should
she need him. "Oya, I was unaware that you shared your bed with
the Sky God? Shango would be very displeased." A grin played on
his face as he joked with his elder Goddess. Oya knew well that
Èṣù didn't care for Shango, but she also knew that he
would never involve himself in their personal affairs.

Oya smiled at Olorun, knowing that she was allowing her emotions
to get the best of her; as usual. The goddess was the goddess of
change, which was why the wind suited her so well. Laying a hand
that was warm at the touch upon his cheek, she laughed in good
nature. It was true, he had offended her but only because her
mood had been long spoiled. He was an amazing god, one of the
few she found herself rather fund of but what was more was that
she respected him. Oya valued his words above most as well as
his opinion which was why his comments touched her so easily.
"Forgive me," she said then dropped her hand. "I am not being
good company, I fear."
Transferring her gaze from him to the new arrivals, she could
not help but sigh at who she saw.
"Olorun, if I held my tongue as much as I should, I think I
would break my teeth," she replied without allowing the new
presences to cause her thoughts to falter. "That is why we have
gods and goddesses like you. When foolish emotions cause gods
like I to be destroyed, someone must be wise enough to survive
and carry on the family name."
The air of humor was vacuumed out when she laid eyes on E u. His
teasing voice filled her ears but she feigned a horrified look.
"My E u! Your jealousy amazes me! If you wished to accompany us
you should have said so," Oya joked, her smile returning
mid-way. "Or did you want me all to yourself?"
Her eyes pierced him and challenged him to respond. The words
'check mate' could clearly be read behind her pursed lips. Oya
soon turned her attention to the one she had not met yet.
"Another goddess?" she asked the stranger. "I only assume since
you are with the one who had drew her blade and claimed to be
one as well."

The warmth of a women's touch was like the wind, it couldn't be
explain nor painted , you have to feel it yourself to understand
it. The gentle god just smile in good nature . She ask for
forgiveness believing she was being bad company." There's no
need to apologize my child, your acting on what you feel and I
can not ask for nothing less from you but your respect and
honesty . "A deep laugh found its way out the pit of his stomach
. She was well known for speaking how she felt and the comment
of her tongue breaking her teeth trigger a funny image of his
mind.
Esu enter the domain with two females , He bowed first to show
his respect to Olorun and in return Olorun bow his head to
confirm it. The God started to explain the situation about there
being others god in other worlds and the path Enyo wanted to
take. He explain the story of Artemis and her purpose here
.Olorun just soak up the information like an sponge . Before she
even said a word he could feel an award aura coming from Oya.
The goddess known as Artemis seem to brought her own company of
creature. They look restless and eager to chase or to hunt
something . He wonder why she wouldn't fulfill there natural
instincts but he wouldn't question it at the time
"Hello Enyo and Artemis ,welcome to my domain .I and Olorun and
it's an honor to meet both of yall "Olorun bowed his head to
show both women respect . As his head raise his snow white
pigment eyes target the goddess Enyo."you wish to find inner
peace ? The first step to finding it is seek forgiveness and
letting go. On the first step of your travels I will be sending
my son Esu with you , this journey will be at your pace . you
will see every image of task your have perform that you either
regret or haven't let go , you will go through some struggles
emotional wise but you will not be alone so don't fight it .We
will begin as soon as you feel ready to . "
Esu comment struck the god's attention , his son was very good
of using his vocabulary to get what he desire and to press
buttons " Shango has not nothing to worry about accept being a
good husband , I pose no threat but while we are on the subject
have you found a women that would be your equal. I see a lack of
a females present has made you a little edging . "He giggle at
his own joke even though it might not been that funny to
everyone but himself, but the two of them bickering did amuse
Olorun

"Artemis, I know how Ares can be. Name one other god who has
spent more time with him as I have." Enyo frowned at her sister,
but squeezed Esu's hand to remain grounded. Ares, the most
fierce of the Grecian Gods, and the most ruthless. She could
remember when he destroyed an entire city because they would not
pay tribute to him. And his eyes, burned like two coals when he
was angry. Even Zeus did not step in his way when Ares was
upset. "But I believe that Esu will protect me from Ares." She
gave the ebony god a gentle smile then, and kissed his cheek.
When Esu bowed to his father, Enyo followed suit. Starting off
on a bad foot with Esu's father would be a bad idea, and showing
him the respect he deserved would be a good way to keep from
angering him. "It is an honor to meet you as well, Olorun. But
yes, I do wish to find inner peace and quell the fighting nature
within my heart. I do not want to fight anymore; and I know that
with Esu by my side, I will be able to find that which I
desire." Enyo smiled at the elder god and squeezed Esu's hand
once again.
Her gaze turned to Esu then. "I know with you by my side, I will
overcome any turmoil I will face. You have been able to calm me,
with a little trickery, since the moment we met. I thank you for
that, Esu." Her smile never faded as she stared at the wonderful
god beside her. Enyon began to wish she had met him long ago,
before she had chosen to spend so much time at her brother's
side. Perhaps, she wouldn't regret some of the actions she took
in her brother's name, and at his demand.
Enyo answered the goddess without taking her gaze from Esu. "I
do wish to apologize for my blatant disrespect when we first
met. I am a Goddess of Warfare, and I was not accustomed to
being snuck up on. Please forgive me for my rudeness and lack of
manners." Her golden gaze flashed at the goddess, as well as a
dazzling smile.
At that moment, Enyo was thankful for leaving Olympus. She had
freed herself, albeit temporarily from her brother's rage, met a
group of gods who seemed passionate instead of vengeful, and she
had begun her path towards inner peace. Artemis being here was
merely an added bonus, because Enyo had always wanted to spend
more time with her half-sister, though that would remain a
secret.
"I am ready to start, Olorun."

Artemis’s face remained stoic. She did not express any emotion
when they reached the man named Olorun, nor when she bowed to
show her respect. These gods seemed just as strong as those in
Olympus and it seemed like a horrible idea to get on their bad
side. Titled as Enyo’s escort, Artemis remained quiet throughout
the whole exchange, her face remaining as stoic as it was
before. It seemed that she wasn’t really needed, and she debated
whether or not to explore, but figured it would be a bad idea.
She didn’t want to trespass on anybody’s land and anger or
insult them.
Eventually her dogs showed up; six of them. They were happily
yipping and howling until Artemis shot them a look that told
them to be quiet. The six dogs settled by her feet, as she was a
few yards away from the whole exchange. The biggest dog, Titus,
rolled onto his back playfully, tongue lolling out of the side
of his mouth; his black and white coat getting dirty from the
grass. Alistair and Zeno sat stiffly in front of her feet, eyes
looking around. Otis sat the closest to the group in front of
her, ears pricked as if he were listening to everything they
were saying. Zale, the smallest and quickest of the group picked
around with Titus; each time the giant dog snapped at him he
would dart away just in time. Xenos was the dog most distant
from her. He was the newest and youngest one, and he didn’t
trust her as much as the other dogs did, but she was slowly
gaining his affection.
All through their discussion Artemis’s eyes gazed lovingly onto
her beasts, a small smile tugging her lips upward and a twinkle
threatening to enter her eyes. They were her six favorite boys
in Olympus, and she loved them all.
