The War Within
After, the long seven year war the Xiphos family had started by the dark father Xailus had started. Alyssia Penelope Xiphos was pronounced dead by her baby brother Victor just so he could announce her dead that led the young goddess lead into a coma. By, the fact there father was killing her siblings just to gain power was his motive. Power however consumed the dark God as the Emperor would kill each child. Draining his own wife power to feel himself feel all mighty. The family was deep in touch with one another as they felt their siblings die their mother’s powers drained. Many tried to rise against the dark Emperor to try and save their own lives to end up dead. Many died as they fought. She felt herself wanting to scream as she was remembering it while in her deep sleep. It was dreams, that never seemed to stop playing in her head even still after being awaken from her coma. Alyssia was saved by the youngest. He’d done everything to try and erase her memories even still years later but, they only seemed to grow as time played out. Their anniversaries of their deaths grew closer as her mind would hear their screams.
The spirits started to surround the goddess screaming at her and taunting her. Her body was cold to the touch as the ground around her slowly sunk in from her powers. At least what little powers she could use at this point. She was a damaged goddess over the years just giving her brother some of her powers after, the fact she nearly died. She looked around confused as to where she was. Alyssia had found herself in the middle of a graveyard at her mother’s castle where her siblings were buried. She started to look around as she would hear the voices amongst her. She could hear the anger in some that she should have been dead herself. The voices played mind tricks on the goddess portraying themselves as her siblings. It came to a point they taunted her “Kill yourself, Alyssia.” It was then, she realized it wasn’t her own siblings.
Her eyes started to glow a bright blue as she looked around at the graves. Seeing, each name brought back memories how, her brothers looked out after her. How, her sisters would give one another beauty makeovers. It was that time, right there she realized the spirits were angry for the fact she had survived. For they were mixed in the crosshairs of her father’s wrath. Their was nothing she could do to show that there deaths weren’t meaningless. She looked down, around herself as she was barefooted and in her pajamas as seeing the blood against her pale ice cold body that had a look of ice under the moonlight. She had no idea who she had killed or what she killed if it was a creature of the night or a human being. She walked down to a nearby lake that she could wash off at. She saw the blood against her pajamas as she sighed. The goddess had been careful to not kill anyone, since she wasn’t like the rest of her family who had a blood lust desire since, her powers were dampened a bit. Her coma messed up her powers over the duration of time she spent under a sleep.
Time was not kind to her in some ways as she slowly drifted back to thinking on things that she saw or heard while in her coma. Her uncle Kronos couldn’t find a way to wake her up even if he could. For he felt he was to blame, for his own sister Aileen’s loss along with what happened to his niece. Nothing, felt right for the Xiphos family for awhile. She could feel that inside. Knowing that she couldn’t wake up was hard. But, awakening she knew some things would be different and they really were. The fact she had a new half sister and brother who one had blessed her with nieces and nephews.
She had to slowly snap out of the memory again the time was very painful due to the fact all her father had done to all of them. Still, stumbling to remember where she was for a second she looked around remembering she was at her mother’s castle. As, she slowly walked her way to the gate to leave the graveyard she came across the body that she was sure that was the person whose blood she was covered in. Dragging the body, like it was a sack of meat she knew someone would eat the person. She sighed, as she took a deep breath making her way in the castle. It was cold as her body was feeling inside as she looked around as more memories flushed. She shook her head trying to brush them off as she dragged the body to leave at the stairs. “Well, I guess one night at this painful place can’t do me too much harm” slowly walking up the stairs as she was heading her way to her old room. “I know, this night will be dark and full of many terrors.” Unable to do much with her powers as she made a candle appear as she slowly blew at the wick as she made it light. Finally, making it in front of her room as she slowly turned the knob as she sighed. Running to her bed like she was a small child, protecting the candle from blowing out, she knew this place would eventually haunt her too. She placed the the candle on the night stand as she clung to the covers like a frightened child. As she waited for the voices to taunt her as she laid in bed.
