Part 2

***

Context: You are the last remaining priestess to the Sun God. Your presence keeps him tethered to this plane, and you dutifully carry out his orders, be it to address his people or address his desires, to offer mercy or to kill. Where there once was a man that could see reason, time twisted him into a sadistic tyrant, happy to let his subjects suffer if his mood was foul. Yes, he loved you still, but you've grown tired of all the suffering. You know something must be done. You just do not know when you will do it.

Setting: The Temple of the Ebony Sun

***

[Scene opens in an obsidian city, thousands of years in the past]

[SFX: Rumbling stone]

[You are trying to work when you feel the temple rumble. Runes flash in a deep, molten gold across the obsidian stone of the temple. His voice rumbles before you can even tense]

Priestess!

[...]

I know you can hear me. You belong to me, no matter your attitude, no matter your opinion. Now, come. I need you to rend judgment

[...]

[SFX: Sad footsteps]

[Head bowed, you set your scrolls down and meander down the halls until you reach the throne room. The heat grows immense as you sit at his side]

Good girl. You’re wise to not keep your Sun God waiting, lest my judgment be rendered without mercy. Now… Look at the fools made to kneel before us

[Pause]

[Seven people kneel before the Throne of the Sun, bags over their heads and hands bound]

[Pause?]

They are accused of treason against me, their god. They attempted to curry favor with another deity, whining and moaning of how I do not shine upon their crops, of how they starve and waste because of my ‘cruelty’. Hmph. Ingrates. INGRATES, ALL OF YOU!

[SFX: Rumbling and fire flaring]

[Pause!]

[He glares at you, his beauty and power staggering]

Priestess… Remember your place.

[...]

That’s my good girl. Now, I am sure you already know my judgment. Take the blade of the ebony sun and kill them.

[...]

Mercy?! HA! You and your bleeding heart. Come here. Yes, on my lap.

[He pulls you forward and your heart flutters]

Come now, my bride… You know I must contain my power to keep this world lit and thriving. If I unleashed it, they would burn for eons in perpetual agony. A decapitation is merciful, no?

[Pause]

We are bound. You are my presence here in this plane. My tether. My obsession. Please carry out my divine order. It is the best mercy I can offer. Any worse and they may be pulled to the Abyss within your planet. Torn asunder in pitch black. Is that what you want for them?

[...]

[SFX: The sword being grabbed and the Priestess approaching the accused]

[You take the ebony blade and approach the accused, shaking. One of them wriggles in desperation]

[A] “W-Wait, please! There are children here!”

[...]

Then at least they will be spared a painful, pitiful life of barren crops, hmm? Go on. Get it over with

[...]

[SFX: Low, ominous chanting slowly building into a magic spell]

…What are you doing, Priestess

[SFX: The magic building]

[The Sun God laughs]

Ohh, is the little Priestess trying to conjure a spell…? Hmhmh, go on. Show me your defiance! Go on, I LOVE when you rage against me! What spell have you come up with now?

[SFX: The magic building until an eruption of darkness explodes across the room]

[You chant and chant until the room warbles and reality bends. For once, your god sounds shaken]

What is this…? How have you woven the very fabric of the stars into this room?! You DARE try to smother me in the foul robes of Nyx?!

[SFX: The sword cutting through the bindings]

[While he is infuriated, you cut the people free]

[A] “T-Thank you, Priestess! Run! Run, children!”

[The accused flee as the temple shakes and warps. You turn back to your god, your lover, and stare him down. He glares at you, radiating rage]

…You go against my orders then, hm? Foolish. You are a beautiful, wise woman, but you forget your place. You are MY ward, you are MY Priestess, and you will obey me, do you understand?!

[Pause!]

[He snarls and rises from his throne, fire flaring from him]

You make me stand, you make me unfurl all six of my wings, you make me consider raising a hand to you, to my love?! I have suffered your insubordination, your coldness, you repelling me from your arms as you express distaste in how I rule! I AM THE SUN GOD, I am infinite, I am unending, and I know how to rule my kingdom

[Pause!!!]

[He scoffs]

Cruel? CRUEL?! Do you have ANY idea of what waits beyond me??? Nyx does. The goddess of night, infinite darkness, cold, unfeeling DEATH. Is that what you want?! Hmph. It doesn’t matter… I am going nowhere. There is NOTHING you can do, there is NO ONE that could replace me, so why try? I spoil you, I shower you in gold and gems, you eat the finest foods, you wear the flowing robes that befit the Muses, and it still isn’t enough?!

[Pause!!!]

[He roars in anger]

YOU TAKE ISSUE WITH HOW I TREAT MY SUBJECTS, NOT YOU?! YOU THINK I AM A MONSTER TO CUT DOWN USURPERS AND HERETICS?! YOU… are naïve, my love. For any pain they suffer at my hands, the afterlife will be much kinder…

[His tone changes to something softer. Almost pleading]

Please understand… As best a human can. There are things beyond your control, beyond human understanding, that I must keep in check. You know me. You’ve felt my touch for years and know me to be kind. To whisper sweetly in your ear and worship you as you once worshipped me.

[...]

[His words are so sweet and soft, laced in poison and honey]

Please… I’ll forgive you cutting them free. Let us not taint our love with further fighting

[...]

[A cold, cruel sneer cuts into his beautiful face]

Oh, you still don’t like how I rule, hm? Well, I fear you will simply have to deal with it, Priestess. I do not intend to change, and the more you disobey me, the more inclined I am to punish those that ‘aren’t’ you… Do you want that blood on your hands?

[SFX: The magic flaring harder]

[You meet his gaze, tears streaming down your face, and he smiles sadistically at you]

Cry, if you want. There is nothing you can do. So long as you exist, I remain.

[...]

[His expression changes as you turn the blade on yourself]

…What are you doing, Priestess… Take the blade away from your neck, now!

[...]

[He tries to rush forward but two clawed, demonic hands reach out from the shadows and grasp him]

RRGH! NYX, UNHAND ME! Priestess, no!

[SFX: Dark, ominous chanting in a foreign language]

NO! NO, YOU WILL NOT PULL ME AWAY FROM MY LOVE! FROM MY KINGDOM! FROM MY THRONE!!!

[SFX: More Eldritch noises]

[For a moment, all the arrogance, cruelty, bravado, and insanity fades in his eyes. It turns to heartbreak, to desperation, to… fear]

Please… Do not do this-!

[You shut your eyes and slice your throat open, resolved]

PRIESTESS!

[He screams and roars as blood spatters across his throne]

NO! NO NO NO NO! YOU CAN’T LEAVE ME, I WON’T LET YOU!

[SFX: Him being dragged into the darkness]

NYX, FREE ME, THEY STILL LIVE! LET ME SAVE THEM! PLEASE! PLEASE, THEY DO NOT DESERVE THIS-!

[SFX: The Listener collapsing to the ground]

[Even with his heat, the world grows cold around you. Each sin bleeding out of you as he rages and struggles against the Goddess of Night]

Please-! P-Please…

[He’s wrenched further into the abyss and the madness in his eyes burns brighter than he does]

…I will find you again… I swear it! I SWEAR I WILL FIND YOU IN THE STREAMS OF TIME AND WE WILL BE REUNITED!

[With one final snarl of protest, he is thrown into the abyss, and you are left in cold darkness as your life seeps away]

[SFX: Blood trickling]

[You consider his words and shudder one last time before your eyes shut]

I will find you…

[To be continued]
