last update Last Updated: 2025-03-12 05:57:03

I’ve lived fifty per cent of my entire existence in the body of a human, with all of the weaknesses that come with it, but this is the first time I’ve ever felt helpless.

It’s been almost a week and there has barely been any improvement in Orenda’s condition. I’d say she’s clinging to life, but that would imply she’s trying and I’m not so sure that she is. Every day I tend to her. I brush her hair, keep her company, and I try to keep her fed. Soups and broths are the only thing she can get down, but at least it’s something. She speaks the occasional word every now and then, but they take so much out of her that I encourage her not to speak and keep her strength. She’s able to communicate much better telepathically, so she mostly responds that way. While I miss hearing the sound of her voice, I’ll take any form of communication she can manage; it’s a sign she’s still with me and hasn’t given up yet.

I put the empty bowl of broth down on her nightstand and gingerly dab some of the beefy

  • A Queen Among Tempests   A Desperate Favour Pt 2 - Azadou

    “You’re a father?” I quietly ask.He studies me carefully, rising to his feet. “Yes.”“What’s her name?”“Aživa,” he answers suspiciously.“She’s beautiful,” I say sincerely.He blinks rapidly, his mouth agape only briefly before he composes himself. “Thank you…Forgive me, I’m just not used to you giving compliments.”“I’m not used to giving them,” I admit, awkwardly. “Do you know what kind of God she is yet?”Gently, he shakes his head. “She’ll tell us when she’s able to speak. She’ll know what she is, just like we all did. Even you,” he answers, giving me a knowing look.I nod in understanding. It’s not something easy to explain, but the moment I came into being, the first thing I could comprehend was what I was, not just a God, but the God of Malice. I wonder what kind of Demi-Goddess his daughter will be. I wonder even more what kind of Demi-God or Goddess my child will be.“Why are you here, Azadou?” Oshmin asks with burning curiosity.“I desperately need a favour from you,” I br

  • A Queen Among Tempests   A Desperate Favour Pt 1 - Azadou

    Watching over Orenda as she sleeps, my mind replays all our discussions from the day. I find it almost impossible to comprehend that the same being whose darkness and hatred brought about my creation could create someone like Orenda, who has boundless compassion and understanding.Despite all I have done, she holds no hatred in her heart for me and even seems to understand me better than I understand myself. She will never forgive the horrors Invidia forced upon her, yet she meant it when she said she doesn’t wish ill on her. I didn’t sense a shred of malice inside her, and I have to admit it feels so…peaceful.I now understand why Zarseti said Orenda was meant to be the peace I yearned for. Zarseti made it clear that she never decides who belongs together. She is gifted with the ability to see which beings the universe made to be a perfect fit. She then creates a bond and gives them the power to decide what to do with it. The universe made Orenda my other half, not the Gods. She is t

  • A Queen Among Tempests   Casualties Pt 3 - Orenda

    I grab a hair clip from the bathroom sink and push down the wave of anxiety rising inside me. With shaky hands, I put my hair up in a bun, taking slow breaths as I remind myself over and over in my head that just because I can’t feel my hair on my neck, doesn’t mean it isn’t there. I repeat the mantra as I strip down and climb into the tub, the wonderfully hot water easing the tension from my muscles as I breathe in the scent of the bubbles, letting them calm me down as they surround me with their frothy warmth.I look up to see Azadou standing by the tub, his face a little flustered as he looks down at me. “What does pampering involve, exactly?” he asks with uncertainty.“Well, in this case, you can wash my back for me since I can’t reach, and then my feet because I can’t reach them either,” I say with a cheeky smile, letting the anxiety drift to the back of my mind.I grab my loofah off the edge of the tub and hold it up for him. He takes it from me, eyeing it curiously, then sits o

    ***“You’ve been staring out that window for hours,” Azadou’s sonorous voice sounds, filled with concern.I glance over my shoulder, meeting his worried gaze from the post I have taken on the sofa. I sigh, shifting so I can face him. “I just want to be here the moment Aya returns.”“You have no idea when that will be,” he points out.“So?”“So, it’s not good for you to perch yourself on this couch indefinitely. Have you even eaten?” he inquires.I purse my lips to the side guiltily, his question making me realise just how hungry I am. Have I really just been sitting here for hours?“You’re carrying a celestial being, Orenda; you have to keep your body strong,” he reprimands me, disapproval etched into his face.It’s so strange hearing him say my name, but I like it…just not when I’m being scolded like a child who didn’t eat their greens.“You have really gone from one extreme to the other,” I muse. “First, I can’t get you to care about me, now you won’t stop fretting over me,” I say i

  • A Queen Among Tempests   Casualties Pt 1 - Orenda

    Entering the living room, I see Ayawamat sitting on the sofa, staring intently at his laptop screen, his face morphing from disapproval to adoration and back like the flipping of a switch.I walk over to him. “What are you looking at?” I ask curiously.He looks up, his expression turning unusually bashful. “I…um…”I sit down and clasp my hands on top of my belly. “Well, it’s not porn. You wouldn’t look so shy if it were,” I tease.He chortles, the sound lifting my spirits and putting a bit more life back into his eyes.“It’s not porn. I…was looking at baby things,” he reveals, turning the laptop so that I can see.My eyebrows almost disappear into my hairline as I take in the webpage displaying rows and rows of adorable baby clothes. I’d been so focused on whether or not the baby and I would live to see tomorrow that I hadn’t given any thought to baby necessities.“This is so thoughtful of you,” I gush, reaching out and squeezing his hand.He shrugs half-heartedly. “The least I can do

  • A Queen Among Tempests   Light At The End of the Tunnel Pt 4 - Orenda

    Agreeing to disagree is just a lazy way to end a conflict, but without the benefit of a resolution. I may as well have said I’d rather be right than find a compromise. Have I always been this stubborn, or does Azadou just bring it out in me? Once Aya and I sort things out I will ask him.“You’re right…I’m sorry,” I breathe out, feeling contrite.“You…really?” he mumbles, looking caught off guard.I nod slowly. “I tried to kill the conversation instead of finding a compromise or explaining my feelings. I’m sorry,” I humbly apologise.He quirks his eyebrow suspiciously. “Just like that?”“You explained why you said what you said, and your explanation made me realise that I was wrong, so I’m apologising,” I articulate for him.“I can’t believe Jartre was right…” he whispers incredulously to himself, looking off in thought.“Right about what?” I ask curiously.He shakes his head, turning his attention back to me. “Nothing. Forget about it. I’d like you to explain why you’re taking on blam
