I spat out my fruit, I screamed and watched the rest force my warriors to eat it. Tyson and Hadyn tried to reach me. They all fell in pain and I watched Anat, it was as if her soul escaped her body. A faint blue smoke formed a bubble, Demeter had smoke escape her too but it was like a lime green and it inserted itself inside the bubble. Aura had her head hung back and her white smoke that escaped wrapped itself around the bubble. I waited for my turn and it wasn't like smoke, more like a spear. This wasn't my soul, it was my powers as a God. What is happening?

 

My spear drove itself inside the bubble which made it burst and some of my spear bounced back. Some of the smoke also went back to the Goddesses but it also went towards our maidens and right hands. We all screamed in unison, I used all my strength to push myself out of the ground and it suddenly separated. I looked towards the tree but it didn't move, then I looked to my warriors. Hadyn held out his hand and I watched as his wings wrapped around his body like armour made out of stone and rock. His feathers fell to the ground and he had a body of a human. Tyson grew taller and gained human like features, he grew dark hair and his big goggle eyes shrunk into sharp lizard like eyes. His reptile skin shed and grew steal like arms. Tyson then was covered with armour made out of steel.

 

Naida's eight arms bonded together and formed a body, her head shrunk into a human like head with purple hair falling down to her hips and her eyes turned pink. Jorck's wings grew larger and his orange feathers changed to a shade of yellow. He grew a body and had yellow shaggy hair. Mitica's wolf like body shifted into a human like a werewolf changing into a human, his hair stayed white but his eyes changed blue. Ermir and Esen formed solid bodies, Ermir turned fully black leaving black smoke whenever he moved. Esen however became white and she glowed bright.

 

Anat finally stood up and smiled, she walked towards our followers waiting for a response. "Now bow down to your Goddess." Anat held out her arms but they didn't respond. Screams echoed behind the gates of the Garden, the seven new Elementals turned to the screams and I followed behind them. Once we stood outside the Garden the other two Goddesses joined us, Anat looked confused as most of our once loyal followers shifted and changed into something similar to our seven maidens and hands. As the Elementals looked up to the new seven, Naida rose her hand and a beam of purple shot into the sky like a laser. Eventually the rest did the same, beams of lightning, ice, laser, darkness and light shot into the air and the Elementals cheered for the new Elementals. Hadyn and Tyson looked back at me in confusion.

 

I turned to Anat and she suddenly began to apologise. "What did you do?" I grabbed onto her shoulders and shook her back and forth.

 

"She went to the Tree of Knowledge." Demeter stepped forward and tried to hide tears. "We ate from the Tree of Knowledge."

 

"Why in the world would you do this?" Aura glared at Anat, she looked down and shrugged her shoulders. "We are no longer the God and Goddesses of Gaia, at least not just us." We turned to the not just Elementals but now Gods and Goddesses. Naida went towards Anat and Anat quickly put a smile on her face.

 

"You did it Anat, now we can take down those dogs." Anat nodded and began to walk towards Naida.

 

"We'll do it together." Jorck and Mitica said in unison. The five excluding Hadyn and Tyson stood beside me, the others glared at them.

 

"These are only mere Gods like us, but we are stronger. Don't you see how we can build an army?" Naida reached towards them but they both denied her.

 

"Why would we need an army for a war that isn't coming, you will start the war." Aura yelled and Naida laughed.

 

"War has already begun, first we need the advantage between the realms." Naida explained.

 

"Peace is the only way we can do this, if we spread this violence all our Elementals will be corrupted. We create not destroy." I tried to reason.

 

"See that sounds funny from a Fire God, aren't you the reason for destruction?" Naida laughed again and Demeter placed her hand on Anat.

 

"Please Anat." Demeter tried to pull her into a hug. Anat took a step away and folded her arms. "So this is it? Really?"

 

Naida, Jorck, Mitica, Ermir, Esen and Anat took hold of each other's hands. Anat looked into my eyes in sadness and reached out to me. "Help us." she begged. I shook my head and she sighed. A bolt of lightning zapped from the sky, hitting Jorck and he flew into the sky in the speed of light. Mitica's body melted to the ground and he suddenly disappeared, Esen and Ermir vanished with the wind and Naida waited for Anat. She waved goodbye and a tsunami rolled towards us, Hadyn raised his fist and the ground formed shelter around us all but Naida and Anat. My fire lit the darkness inside the shelter. Suddenly we felt a large crash with some of the shelter falling apart slowly. Demeter placed her hand against the walls of the shelter, forming roots that filled the holes and cracks.

Proteus

Once again we are on the road chasing after creatures that are pretty fun to kill. Starting to get a little more boring after every group we come across, Brooklyn was left behind with Sunotics along with the young teenagers. Levi has never left my side even during battle, always keeping in check if my werewolf form is staying hidden. It annoyed me a little but it is better than being with the team leader. Harris was partnered with our driver William, two others named Reece and Erin were paired up too. Being with Levi forced me to fight against the blood suckers. As much as I loved it, the more I wondered why I continued to do so. We are so far from their main base and here I am fighting with the humans.

 

Levi however isn't the same, the rest were clean with their kills but he turned very sloppy. He sliced open their throats and hacked into their limbs when you could just murder them faster. Levi dripped with blood sucker's own blood, he didn't seem fazed either. I felt like I was protecting him more than helping, when he sets sight on one he won't keep in mind of his surroundings.

 

As we continued along the track behind Harris and William, Levi dragged his feet against the desert sand. "Levi, we are slowing down." this was the first time I have ever spoken to him since we left the base. He glared at me and I couldn't help but to feel sorry about him. "Look about-"

 

"He is dead Proteus." he quickly said, he then looked back down to the sand. "I have nothing left you hear."

 

Levi walked faster and I sighed. It is my job to kill these humans, make sure none get through. Kill all the leaders, that is what I must do. Brooklyn is becoming too attached to the humans and Sunotics thinks Travis is going psychotic. I do agree with Sunotics and besides these humans are an endangered species, if that city is all there is of humans left. Plus half were slaughtered while being attacked, Travis said to make sure none get back to the gates, maybe we could be with them as an advantage. They think everything other than human are enemies, all but Levi.

 

I could see some bloodsuckers ahead, I charged forward. Running past the rest of the group, Harris managed to keep up with me. I looked towards him but he didn't glace back towards me, he runs faster than an average human surely. He pressed forward and now I tried to keep up, the bloodsuckers tried to run faster but we staked them before they could go any faster. Once we finished them off Harris grabbed me on the throat and ripped the cloth around my arm off. The wound that was previously there, healed up and was only left with dry blood. His eyes glowed in different colours, from red, blue then purple. Those aren't werewolf eyes, nor blood sucker's. Shape Shifter?

 

"What are you Proteus, if that is even your name?" Harris squeezed harder against my throat but I was wondering what exactly he is. Shape Shifters are loyal to their kind, they wouldn't even consider other beings lives. Levi ran in between us and pressed his hands against our chests, pushing us back. I growled and my eyes gave me away, Levi shook his head at me and dropped his hands. "You brought a werewolf into our base? Werewolves?" Harris grabbed onto the box that he always held.

 

Before he could speak into it, Levi kicked him back causing him to drop his box. Levi quickly bent down and grabbed onto the box. "I brought them because they could help us, these are the beings of Order not Chaos Harris."

 

My back stiffened and I kept my eyes on Harris. "Order and Chaos are the same Levi, Shifters, Demons, Angels, Elementals, Vampires, Werewolves. They are all the same!" His eyes continued to flash different colours. "They killed our families, they destroyed our world. Why am I trying to explain? Those Vampires killed your father!"

 

Levi went to speak but while we were in a middle of a fight, bloodsuckers surrounded us. William, Erin and Reece also were within the circle. We gripped onto our weapons and Levi looked down to his bag, a little silver diamond flashed red. "We are close to the Chaos gate!" He announced to the crew, we all came closer together. I sensed a large power, I looked over the large army of bloodsuckers. It was a gate, moulded with flesh and bone. Human corpses literally is the Gate of Chaos. The rest of the crew put glasses on and saw the gate slightly open, the skulls were stuck against the sides and the rest of the gate continued to move. The limbs were still moving and people continued to scream in pain. Barb wire tied each body to each other and hooks kept them in place.

 

The blood suckers ran towards us but Levi had the first that came towards us, Reece, Erin and William ran into the army and I stood by Harris. Some charged at him but he lifted up his hand and the bloodsuckers fell to the ground in pain. His eyes flashed red and they all chocked on their own blood. Their eyes rolled back and their bodies turned into dust, Levi grabbed my arm and pulled me with the rest of the crew. Harris screamed as a flash of light escaped his hands. The same amount of light Levi had in those bombs. All of the bloodsuckers fell to the
