The God of Crossroads listened well to Enyo's words. So the
Greek system worked on a hierarchy where twelve Gods ruled over
the rest of them. It seemed that those twelve maintained the
balance in the realm, while the Gods under them handled the
specifics. "If there are only a select few who would hear your
words of wisdom, then perhaps you should begin by speaking with
them. Then they could help you expand."
Over the next hill was a full scale image of all of Greece. But
something was different. The sea had receded, the land was
uncultivated, and the sky was dark. No humans roamed the land.
And with no humans to offer tribute and praise, the Gods had
grown weak. Those of them who had little strength to begin with
had faded. "Do you know what this is?" he asked to Enyo, looking
toward her as she took in the view.

It might have been the day's events or her husband's delay in
presence but Oya did not feel up to harming the human man who
attempted to seek other means of 'vengeance'. After she was
granted permission to leave and her powers were restored, the
goddess returned to her bed but the silence was once more
disrupted by Olorun whose anger had transformed to concern and
fatherly compassion.
The power Olorun rented her were enough to drive her crazy.
Never had she felt stronger but without allowing it to get to
her, she mentally pushed it back out and gave it back to whom it
belonged.
"You asking forgiveness for another man's deeds makes no sense,"
she murmured, her eyes closed once again. "I hold nothing
against you for his crimes. If he had successfully achieved what
he started out to do, I would have not needed your powers to
kill him."
Oya, turned her back on him, not to be rude but to seek comfort
of changing laying positions. It had been a long day.
"Thank you, for taking me hunting," she murmured against her
pillow. "I'll try to learn my lesson."
Oya spoke softly but she knew the god would hear her plainly.

Today was not his day , everything he had done went wrong. The
best thing to do at this point was to leave the women to her be
. He felt like farther who failed his daughter . The
disappointment that ran through his mind trouble him to no it.
But she was right that man did no wrong and Oya did none either
. Olorun came to one conclusion , it was him.
Raining back on everything that just happen he said catch the
most dangerous prey and she did, he punish her for no reason and
he gave her the power to kill a man that only knew what he was
taught. The once wise god felt ignorant and shame cross his face
.
A leave of absence was called for , he needed to find his own
self and start over the path he swore to take . With a flash he
disappear off the radar . No one would sense him , not even his
on kids . I whisper " I'm sorry " whisper through the air as a
message to the goddess before he departed .
Between the realms heaven and earth olorun stayed in deep
meditation . He for us on the wrong he did and the path he
should have took . His decision making wasn't to wise . Unlit he
found himself he wouldn't be returning

all the wondrous Sights before them Abana the younger girl grabs
a sparing tool and throws one at her brother "You wanna duel
Ajala?" She giggled and leaps toward him with a playful look in
her eye she giggled a bit at her brothers awkward stance.
"Abana, this is no time for fun and games we have to stay alert.
This is a new place we have no idea what kind of people are here
so for once just listen to me" Ajala said calmly while abana
pretended to be asleep "Aww your no fun" she said then had a
great idea she took off in a wild sprint laughing loudly because

Though it was merely an image, Enyo could feel the draining
effects of a desolate Greece. Her eyes moved over the entire
seen, and she could feel that herself in this image had
perished. The thought of not existing, of being returned to
nothingness, frightened her deeply. This was the future if Ares
continued upon his path. The humans would cease to exist in
Greece, and he would pursue destruction in other parts of the
world. She couldn't allow that to happen.
Her gaze shifted to Esu, and she stared at his beautiful, ebony
face. Would he perish if Ares wasn't stop? Would his lands
become as war ravaged as Greece could become? She did what she
had never done before in that moment, she took what she wanted.
Enyo kissed the god, a soft amd sensual kiss. He would probably
berate her for her actions, but she didn't care. It was then she
felt a presence in her mind, a beckoning. Her father was calling
her home, and Zeus was the only god that you did not ignore.
"Esu, will you come with me? To Greece?"

The whisper fell on sleeping ears. Oya had fallen asleep rather
quickly but it was not to her disliking. The goddess was in need
of sleep however when she woke up, she was taken back by the
length of time she had stayed asleep. It was nighttime, probably
a bit pass midnight and she knew it had been a few days. Sitting
up in bed, Oya yawned and stretched as the memories flooded into
her mind. A sigh broke her lips apart as she remembered how
upset Olorun had been and wonered if he was still in the fragile
mental state as before. No matter how hard she attempted to
track him, she was unable to although she did detect two young
gods. Later, she would find the children but for now she needed
to decide what to do about Olorun.
"Esu," she called, allowing the name to be carried on a breeze
that wound track him.
Not knowing if he would come for sure or if he was preoccupied,
the goddess bathed and started to pick through her closet for a
desired attire. Nothing suited her, so instead, she sat on the
edge of her bed and wrapped herself in crimson, satin sheets
while golden thread appeared with a matching cloth. Using a
silver needle, she sowed herself a new dress while her thoughts
lingered on her father.

Èṣù's eyes narrowed in frustration when the woman kissed
him. Not that he didn't care for the touch of a female, but this
was simply wrong. He was trying to show Enyo the road best
traveled, Issues that needed to be addressed, and the possible
fate of herself and her family! And she had the nerve to be
focused on something like that? "I suggest you get your
priorities in order, quickly Enyo. Your time may not be as long
as you think." He huffed away the rest of his frustration and
shook his head in response to her request. "I have my own
responsibilities to take care of here. You need to return to
your home and take care of your own business." The world around
them shattered to reveal the exact place where they started.
"Besides, I need to check on the children soon. I hope you'll
come back and tell me how it went soon."
With that, Èṣù was preparing to go check on the twins,
whom he had been watching over for decades upon decades, but
before he could, he heard the voice of Oya calling to him. "It
seems I've been summoned as well. For now, our paths will split,
Enyo. I hope to see you again, once you find the peace you
seek."
The God then appeared before Oya only to find that she was
bathing. Of course, nudity wasn't a big issue in their culture,
so much that he had actually seen the Goddess in the nude more
than once. He didn't take the time to look away. "You called?"
The God asked, in an almost subservient manner. The frustration
and tension in the woman's being was obvious, it had grown even
further in the time since his departure. "In need of something?"

Enyo stared at Esu with saddened eyes, but nodded. He would
never see her as anything but an outsider. Without another word
to the god, Enyo vanished to return home to Olympus.

Oya tightened the sheets around her breasts, knowing that her
nipples would show beneath the fabric since she was chilled.
Nudity was not an issue, but it still bothered her to be in her
birthday suit in front of anyone not her lover. The goddess knew
he had seen her body without clothing before just moments ago
when she finished her bath and went to he bed; it made her a tad
more comfortable.
"You seem perturbed," she inquired, her eyes glancing away from
her work only momentarily.
A sigh raised her shoulders and dropped them abruptly. It seemed
she had the affect on everyone, lately.
"But, then again, I was never really good with reading people's
faces. How did your journey go with Enyo?" she asked.
The goddess bunched up the fabric and held it up then looked at
him for an opinion that could not be given even if he wanted to
since what she distorted it into did not resemble anything close
to a dress. Oya glanced back and realized her failure and
giggled beneath her breath in spite of her irritation.
"Maybe I will go shopping instead," she said softly. "I don't
want to take up your time. I know you have better things to do
than to visit but if you see Olorun, could you ask him to come
speak to me? I'm afraid he's upset because of my foolishness."
Supporting her weight with her hands behind her back, the
goddess leaned back against the bed and looked at him while the
mess of thread and fabric fell to the floor at her feet. Unable
to help herself, she wondered if anything had occurred between
Enyo and Esu but the thought would remain just that; a thought.
It was not her business who Esu sought after. Her eyes dropped
to the man's torso, deliberately breaking eye contact to show he
was free to leave when he needed to. Oya had not expected him to
stay and he did not seem to favor the option, either.

Èṣù closed his eyes and shrugged his shoulders in response
to Oya's statement. "I suppose you could say that, but then, so
do you." He took a few steps toward the woman as she continued
and shook his head. "Don't get me wrong." He told her. "You're
not the source of my aggravation. After all, it's not too often
I have someone to match wits with." That grin returned to his
face once more. "As a matter of fact, I wonder if it's that
cat-killing curiosity that lead you to call me here..." A wink
and a smile before the woman asked the last question Èṣù
wanted to hear.
"That woman..." Èṣù started.... "She's unable to decipher
what's important. She can only focus on her immediate desires.
You said I appeared perturbed earlier. That is the reason." He
couldn't believe her behavior! The fate of her whole family was
at stake and yet she... "Perhaps she's still too young to seek
her identity."
Èṣù found himself looking on at Oya as she fiddled with
her fabric and laughed to himself. He couldn't say he agreed
with Shango's way of doing things. He favored Èṣù's
mother, Oshun, because she was a master of the household chores
that Oya wasn't all that great at. Like... sewing. Or Cooking.
Oba was considered to be the most traditionally attractive. Oba
was the one who tended to be neglected, but from Èṣù's
point of view, The lightning God didn't know what he was
missing. Oya may not have been as good of a cook as his mother,
but she appealed to him the most. The way her mind worked was
extremely attractive. She had an abstract way of thinking that
made her capable of keeping up with the quick thinking God of
trickery, and a loyalty that was unrivaled, despite the fact
that it wasn't reciprocated. Shango didn't deserve her...
Honestly, he didn't deserve to be married, but that was a whole
different story.
"You called me here and now you're kicking me out? Well you're
an odd one." He walked toward the door. "Olorun is fine." He
told her. Olorun was known as the father of all the Orisha Gods,
but due to their independent nature, Èṣù was the only one
who had regular contact with him, since he had to make regular
trips to deliver messages. "He gets worked up over trying to
protect and take care of everyone. He doesn't realize that free
will and responsibility are just as important for Gods as they
are for Humans. Just give him some time to calm down." His eyes
fell to his bare chest as hers did, suddenly. "See something you
like?" He asked, that signature grin returning once more.
