A Night Of Horror

You followed Zyglavis down the palace hallway after the King had requested he brought you to him. You didn't know what the King wanted with you and grew anxious at the many possibilities why he could have summoned you. 

Zyglavis led you into the throne room. The King was sitting elegantly on his throne where he had been awaiting your arrival. Nervous, you slowly made your way to the King and stood still before him. You grew uncomfortable with the fact- besides Zyglavis and the King- no one else was around. Then, the King ordered Zyglavis to leave surprising you further. Though he thought it strange Zyglavis did as he was told and left you alone with the King.

Your heart beat frantically and your chest squeezed with worry as this was all so disconcerting.

“Do not worry.” The King spoke with a kind smile, “I didn’t bring you here to punish you if that's what you were thinking.”

Surprised by his tone you peeled your eyes off the floor to see the King smiling at you.

“Is there something you want, Your Highness?” You asked, feeling curious at what the King may be up to.

A mischievous smile immediately crept over his lips and he gracefully stood from his throne and came closer to you, “There is.”

His movements and expressions sent chills down your spine. You knew nothing good ever come out of it when the King planned something. Just what did he have in store this time?

“I want you to help me.” A little smirk formed on his lips, his eyes glinted with mischief, “You are going to help me scare those foolish sons of mine.” The King seemed almost too thrilled about the idea he had planned.

Your body flinched at his his words and you narrowed your eyes in confusion, “What do you mean? How am I supposed to help?”

The Kings smile grew wider like he was happy you asked, “You will bring them to the haunted mansion that currently dwells behind the house they use while on Earth.”

Your brows furrowed in puzzlement, “But there is no haunted mansion there…?” As long as you could recall the gods house was the only one in the area. Just what was the King saying?

The King chuckled at your confusion, his eyes crinkled into a smile, “There is now.”

You didn’t like where this was going. Why did you have to be part of his tricks you thought.

“You are to get as many of the gods to follow as you can. Once inside the haunted mansion you are to stay there the entire night. All powers will be nullified and the doors and windows will be locked.” The King said with a wicked smile as he imagined the fun night ahead, “There will be many surprises waiting in store once you get inside.”

You shivered at the King's last words, “surprises” that only fueled your worry for what laid ahead. You wished you could refuse and just run away but this was the King you were speaking to. It wouldn't be wise to refuse him lest something even worse may happen upon you.

Though hesitant, you reluctantly agreed to his wicked plan.

You frowned as the King smiled joyfully, “Don't worry. No gods will be harmed in the making of this glorious horror show. Now go. I will be watching over you from here.” He chuckled and sent you off.

You immediately left the throne room, heaving a sigh once outside. Zyglavis was waiting for you nearby, curious as to what was discussed but never bringing it up.

Together, you returned to Earth.

Evening was just setting in as you returned. You quickly got to work and checked what gods were currently around.
