Keeping to herself, Zinnia silently walk away from the others, they all thought that she got angry over a little scolding and left until Zinnia came back with two Ghuoit behind her. Although the Ghuoit were nothing more but dead puppet they visibly tremble in fear as they trailed behind Zinnia.

"You don't have to use the Ghuoit servant in your possession, I can create more against the human." Storm attempts to dismissed the Ghuoit away, but his puppet was no longer in his control, any Ghuoit he had given away to the other gods could no longer be controlled by him, unless it has been permitted by its new master.

"Keep your powers to yourself Storm." Zinnia spoke out in a harsh tone. Her cold gaze move to the others in the room as her mind calculated on what to do. "I don't want any more silly accusations because you. This whole act may have started because you wanted to do a favor for Faye, but this involves me, that human boy has an ability that belongs to me and I want it back, you are all free to call me petty but I have the right to give my powers to whoever I feel it's good enough for it, and that boy isn't good enough. He has never been, just because he managed to get lucky with Zyros ability doesn't mean that he's worthy of it." She use her nails to rip the skin of her palm apart and then grab one of the Ghuoit besides her by the neck.

The Ghuoit shakes at it tried to escape Zinnia strong grip but couldn't.

Zinnia use her magic to stop the creature from screaming and then remove the human blood in the puppet, replacing it with her own. "The only fault in your puppet is that it's made with the blood of dead weak humans who couldn't survive Hlasked."

Everyone watched and remained speechless as the Ghuoit under Zinnia grip changed and when it transformation was complete, it weak clouds body was filled with silver amor and it face was blank without a ouch of emotions.

"How is that possible?" Caspian ask. Just like the others he had been left in surprise. Not once did he considered that the blood in the Ghuoit could be changed.

"I'm going to need more blood." Zinnia said, as she turned to the others who had glare at her and accused her of being proud.

Although they may all had the same god-like status, they weren't equal. Zinnia wasn't the type to lower herself for anyone, regardless of their complaints of wanting to be equal, deep down those who were like Orion and Caspian knew their place and that thought gave Zinnia enough satisfaction, even as she indulge in their fantasies of letting them feel as though they were important and needed, a subtle part of her voice mock them.

"With the help of your blood, we will have for ourselves a celestial assassin, one that has never been seen before." Zinnia kept her tone arrogant without any demands of please.

"One that should never be seen." Caspian added, "are you trying to implicate us in your crime, a little Ghuoit trying to murder a human was amusing and wasn't that big of a deal but this…?!" His hand furiously indicated at the Ghuoit that had been transformed.

"You are afraid of Dunstan." Zinnia spoke out in a casual tone. "Like you said, no one here is my slave and I'm not forcing anyone to go this far."

Thalric shakes is head in agreement with Caspian, while the others except for Storm gave their blood to Zinnia, and soon the other Ghuoit was also transformed.

"This new creatures can't be kill by anyone except for us. As long as we are alive, they will stay alive." Zinnia hands were behind her back as she pace around and then finally face the Ghuoit. "Your first are those humans who always gets in the way, that boy would have been long dead if not for them. Make those annoying lesser beings incapable of walking before killing the real targets, Lucian."

Dunstan words hook in his throat as felt something strange, it was for a second, but he was such that he felt the presence of a celestial being leaving the heaven realm.

"What is wrong?" Faye hide the nervousness she was feeling from her voice. She had been place in change of distracting Dunstan.

In a quick moment, Luna and Soren were both kick in the gut at the same time. They were closed to where they had left Reed and Marta before their sudden attack.

The two silver armor Ghuoit both move at the same speed, each using the same style of attack as they climb over their opponents and threw ruthless punches without giving them any chance to process what was happening.

Before Luna could see who her attacker was, her eyes was swollen. She screamed in pain as the Ghuoit dislocated the joint keeping her leg straight.

Soren on the other hand has managed to throw one punch towards his attacker, but his powerless attack couldn't do any damage, and even when he had managed to summon a sword as he was being beaten. His blade couldn't cut through the Ghuoit, the Ghuoit had caught Soren hand, break his wrist, making his sword fall out of his hand.

When the Ghuoit was done beating Soren, it broke his legs. He wasn't given the chance to scream in pain, the Ghuoit use a heavy blow to make him pass out.

Luna breath came out in a harsh wheeze as she tried to heal her lungs she suspected had been damaged from the unexpected kick she had received before she was beaten.

"They are going after him." Luna said inwardly, she was barely able to heal her lungs and didn't have any strength to heal herself anymore.

'Lucian,' Luna thought as her eyes shut down.

The two armored Ghuoit stop in their movement, their twisted backwards at the same time and looks far into the distance where Reed was laying on the ground holding his breath in fear as he pretended to play dead. Both creatures stared silently for a while before choosing to movement again.

Reed face was drained out of colors for lack of breath, he released his breath when he was sure that the Ghuoit creatures were gone.

Reed was out of breath by the time he was able to move Luna and Soren body away from the spot where they had been abandoned by the Ghuoit. He waiting for any one of them to wake up, but there was no response from either Soren and Luna. It has been quiet for so long with Reed, Marta was sick with a fever that wasn't going down no matter how he tried to treat her. While waiting for Luna return, he was afraid that she was never going to return along with the others, and now with her badly wounded state, Reed had a new fear in his heart that everyone will die and he will be the only one who cowardly survive.

'I don't want that.' Reed tap Luna, trying to get her to wake up, as long as Luna didn't die, the others will be able to stay alive.

As Reed wakes Luna, he thought of his dead brother, agony passed through him as he wondered if what happened in the passed was about to repeat himself again. 'I shouldn't have made friends.' the thought passed through him before he could stop it. Finally he was realizing that Lucian and his teammates slowly started to mean something important to him, he formed a bond he couldn't form with Thorin and his last team.

"Please…" Luna mumble out as she stirred awake and tried to keep herself conscious. "Please help…."

'what is she saying?' a worried expression form on Reed face as he lower his ears closer to Luna lips; her words came out in a weak whisper.

"I beg…. Of you, save Lucian." Luna passed out.

Reed remained frozen for a while with his ear still lower over Luna, he thought of what to do, should pretend as though he had never heard her request? he didn't want the same creature that had hurt them to hurt him. Reed was afraid of pain, he didn't like stronger opponents, and he didn't want to throw the life his brother has given him to people he hasn't stay with for up to month.

Reed press his knees against his chest, his arms wrapped around him. "I don't want to fight against that thing." He muttered to himself. But he couldn't get Luna words out of his mind, it hunts his heart and even though it wasn't her last dying words because she was still breathing, it felt like it was.

"I don't want to fight against that thing." tears flow down from Reed eyes as he remembers Soren last words to him. His head was buried between his arms.

'Lucian isn't going to survive if he's alone.' he force his trembling legs up and turns towards the direction the Ghuoit followed in search of Lucian.
