PROLOGUE
THURSDAY
I t's been decided then?
Loki asked.
The dark-haired, blue-eyed devil was the God of Mischief and enjoyed his job very well. Loki was always up to this or that but he also had his moments of seriousness. Like now for instance. Changes were afoot and it was all hands on deck.
Yes, six supernaturals residing in three different bodies. Two in each body,
Eris replied.
Eris, with her long blonde hair and golden eyes that saw everything, was the Goddess of Chaos and as such got along with Loki without issue. They were always getting into trouble and causing havoc, but lately things had started to slow down. They weren't as powerful as they once were. The gods were old and mostly set in their ways but they were aware of modern speech and utilized it sometimes in conversation.
I see. How will it be done?
Loki asked.
Everything that's human about them will be stripped away and in its place only the monsters will remain.
Have the girls been chosen?
Not yet. That’s where you come in. You will find the three humans best suited for the task.
Am I to know what creatures we will be creating? Which ones would be paired together? That way I can find proper candidates the first time.
Of course. Come, we must find Hecate, Fenrir, and Oberon. They will be the ones infusing the humans with the powers they deem appropriate.
Eris and Loki searched Domus, the mythical home for most of the gods, for the three gods that would be performing the rituals on the human vessels. They would have the necessary details that Loki would need to find the perfect humans for the procedure. Picking the wrong ones could prove fatal and waste precious valuable time. Time that they were no longer sure they had left. The gods were weak, they’d likely only be able to preform the ritual once, so it was best things were done right the first time. There probably wouldn't be a second chance to correct any errors. Eris and Loki chatted quietly during their search about day-to-day operations of the remaining gods. Everyone was on edge and had every right to be. Their powers were fading more each day and soon there would be nothing left of them but memories. It was a problem they were desperately trying to avoid. This plan with the human vessels may just be the key. The sooner they found them, the better.
Hecate looked up from her vanity when Fenrir and Oberon entered her room. Did they not know how to knock? They were the rudest gods she knew.
Is there a reason you two have barged into my chambers? I could have been naked for all you knew,
Hecate, the Goddess of Witchcraft, demanded.
We had an arranged meeting time so why would we knock? You're not making any sense,
Fenrir, the God of Wolves, growled.
Fenrir was always growling, perhaps it was the beast in him and Oberon was no better.
Exactly,
Oberon, the God of Dragons, huffed. You should have been waiting expectantly for our arrival.
The both of you should be checked for brain injuries,
Hecate said.
She turned back to face her mirror and continued to brush her black hair. The red tips made her hair look as if it were on fire and back in her hay day it served well in scaring the natives. The purple eyes also helped with that particular scheme. Those were certainly the days, back when she was worshiped freely and often. Now, it was a wonder she had the strength to get out of bed in the mornings. Many of the gods had faded because no one prayed to them any longer. It was only the handful of witches that kept her going. It was the same for Fenrir and Oberon. People's obsession with wolves and dragons were the only reason they hadn't faded out as well. Before she could dwell too heavily on these travesties, and her rapidly failing strength, Fenrir's voice broke into her thoughts.
So what are we going to do about our worshipper problems?
Fenrir asked, getting right to the point of the meeting.
Hecate took in his glowing yellow eyes and gruff but handsome appearance. It was easy to mistake him for one of the wolves he loved so much. Anyone looking at him would be hard pressed not to fall to their knees and submit to his every command. Centuries ago he held the command
