Talya

Tales of the Godess

• Text

  Niece of the god of war, Ares, her authority as chateau of Lord Ares home has now been taken by his new girlfriend. This happens every now and then and generally they are all very insistent that she stay and help them win over the heart of her brother but this one was quite different. A daughter of Zeus herself she pulled up an enormous amount of power and literally threw her out of the house. Being as hot headed as she is she went straight to her brother to protest the way she had been treated only to find the woman crying to him about how mean Talya had been to her. Talya had burst into the room yelling giving her the perfect opportunity to cower and sob.
  "Sister, what have you done?"
  "Me? I came here to protest to the way your new Lady treats your family."
  "I didn't do anything you didn't deserve," she sobbed from behind the desk.
  "You stay out of this," Talya shouted at her.
  "You will NOT shout at my fiance."
  "Then I shall shout at you." And so ensued a argument between the god and goddess of war.
  Anger and blood lust stirred up in all the worlds and all the realms with such force. Bellona was irritated at the constant sobbing of the woman standing there but found some satisfaction when she became quiet and actually retreated to the back of the room.
  As the story goes, the woman had claimed Talya had been spiteful in giving up her position. She had the servants put nasty things from the sewer under her bed, pored ink on many of her best clothes, and threatened her life. She also had it on good authority from the head servant that this was not the first time his sister had done this to a new 'temporary lady' of the house.
  This was of course preposterous as Talya shouted her innocence to Ares. She had never been anything but kind to any guest or lady he ever brought into his home.
  After a while Talya started to get this feeling that she should stop but she couldn't give ground just yet. She nearly had this one. She could see that Ares was having the same feeling but he too chose to fight on. The clock ticked louder. No less than fifteen seconds later a flash of lighting and a crash of thunder flashed.
  "ENOUGH," boomed Zeus' mighty voice. They both fell silent. "Any more of this and you two will cause the world to tear itself apart."
  Talya, who wasn't the daughter of Zeus but the illigitimate daughter of some goddess and a rather angry human man, was not permitted to speak to Zeus unless directly allowed too since that incident with his horse. Ares approached.
  "Father, I am sorry."
  "You should be. We are enjoying a time of peace as declared by me. You and her have endangered the delicate balance we have worked so hard to put in place. Explain yourselves."
  "I can, father," it was her.
  "You may speak, favored daughter Darshauna," so she had a name.
  "I was wronged by the Lord Ares Ward, Talya, and had her sent away as is my right as Chateau."
  "Then what is the problem?" Zeus asked.
  "Talya claims she is innocent of these accusations."
  "Obviously you don't believe you or you would not be arguing," Zeus told Ares.
  "Darshauna makes a convincing case," Ares said. He seemed really unsure and that hurt Talya's feelings.
  "And did she bring any convincing evidence?"
  "No."
  "Then do you let the decisions of the Lady stand?"
  Ares gave it some thought. Both he and Talya knew that if Ares through him out she would no longer be welcome. Although it was obvious she had the blood of the gods none would claim her as their own and she could not prove it. Ares took her in and hoped that she might become his but Zeus had forbidden it. The fights they could have would tear down the very foundations of civilizations. As roommates it wasn't so bad. She had been living ageless in his home for time she hadn't cared to count. If Ares would not have her she would no longer be welcome on Olympus.
  He wasn't going to do it, he was going to let her stay but Darshauna did something. Talya saw it.
  "Yes, I will let the Lady's decision stand."
