Demigod Monsters of Protheka

Deknol has sold his soul to The Deceiver. I can see it in the powers that he now wields. Far stronger than any magic present on Protheka. It excites me. Because he will use his power to rescue me. To protect me. To pleasure me. The value of my life on Protheka is less than worthless. But when I stand next to Deknol, whose godlike powers crackle the air around him, I am a queen. His queen.

When his unit brought the wounded warrior, Guilri, to my camp, I had no choice but to heal him. It would be inhumane to let someone so hot die. As he came back to life, I realized my mistake. He was a threat. Not to my body . . . but to my walled off heart. Only Guilri has been strong enough to tear down my barriers to love. But the goddess he fights for is a vengeful deity. She will not sit idly by as her champion finds love in the arms of a human woman. She will force him to choose . . . His destiny. Or his heart?
