Capítulo 16: Chapter 16
'Hear ye, hear ye, the god Kasali is planning something strange at the field that bore no fruit. You wouldn't want to miss it. Come out of your dens all gods and watch what would happen. Hear ye, hear ye.' Arthy couldn't believe he was still sleeping or that both Belle and Nuala hadn't woken him up to be with them. He knew that Belle wouldn't translate for her and knew that Nuala would be too proud to ask. How Arthy was able to sleep through the ruckus the two must have been involved, Arthy had no clue. Deciding to shrug off his thoughts, he dived into the waterfall and quickly washed himself of yesterday's grime. Donned my clothes and flew like an eagle to the field.
It was bizarre the sight. No blood or injuries, more participants than ever and still no words exchanged. I quickly got to her side and got her to explain what was going on. After understanding the situation, I got permission to act as her explanator but was denied. 'Do not worry Arthuila, I have a few tricks that would help her understand and communicate with us. You can go sit with the others.' Kasali did not give me time to question his statement before he sent me to where the others were seating.
There was a mixture of emotions on their faces, mostly confusion, maybe apprehension, and only a few were excited about what was to come.
Kasali often wondered if he would ever have a chance to see his tormentor suffer. He shouldn't actually brand Laiithu as only his but rather a tormentor of all. As a god of time, his power of seeing is only rivalled by Zadra. And while Zadra can see into the future, Kasali could only experience what had passed through time, therefore, the past.
It was something he loathed because of the job. He never had to experience whatever he could see, it just had to pass through time for him to know and forever remember. And because of all those memories, all those things he would rather forget, he would be getting justice for gods and humans alike. The only problem was deciding whether to start from the worst or the easiest. Then he thinks back to all he knew and realized none of them was easy to digest. Might as well get on with the trial.
'I'm sure some of you would think this is unfair. After all, I am the only one who would be throwing accusations left, right and centre but should the judges find him innocent of everything, then he can kill me. In fact, I will kill myself.' Kasali was boasting. He knew that should he lay down all the evidence, no one in their right mind would set him free, he turned his gaze upon Laiithu who was still flexing his muscles, sending his smiles to them. He chuckled and decided to get into character. It was time.
'As gods, it is said that we are all family. We may fight with one another just because of the humans we were meant to protect, but when we are here, in our home, we are meant to leave all the anger, the hatred, the fighting in their land. And why? Because we are a family. But when a god, takes it upon himself to be the reason other gods fear coming out or talking, what should we do?
Laiithu often took it upon himself to trap me in his water-filled bubbles and leave me there for hours upon hours. And you would say that it wouldn't kill me but the feeling of being trapped, of begging him to let me out for so long before he would. Then he's laughing, his taunts. Some of you would call me a liar, but the others would support me. Or am I lying?' a shout of 'yes, he did it to me' from all sides of the field, one or two from the people sitting, Nuala's eyes filling with fury and Laiithu's gaze. I was just getting started.
'And oh, that's not all my people. He decided to break the one rule we hold dear, the one rule that is meant to show that we have class compared to the humans. He forcefully had carnal knowledge of humans. Not one, two but many. And if you don't believe me, here's the proof.' I showed the replay of my memories. As I had said before, I was all-seeing of the past, and when the past is needed in situations like this, I can share what I know to those who need to see. Tears poured from their eyes, some closed them to see no more.
Nuala looked like she was about to puke, tears were streaming down her face, and Arthy was fidgeting between staying with his sister and being by her side. I wondered if seeing these, all of it would be enough to convict him, but his smug face proved that I still had a lot to do. Unluckily for him, I still had so much more under my sleeves.
'And who told the other gods about Anthuina's thoughts? Sister, I know you thought Kiluaroth had betrayed you but maybe next time, choose a better spot to lay down your thoughts and wishes. He overheard you and decided to spread your thoughts about wanting revenge. But you know, this wasn't his only involvement in your situation. Oh, if it was, I wouldn't be building as much suspense as I am right now. Laiithu, would you like to tell the truth or should I?' Kasali turned to him.
He had begun sweating and pleading with his eyes. He didn't want me to say it. But I needed to, I needed for my sister to understand why things happened the way they did, and most of all, my selfish desire was to see him suffer. Maybe that's why I didn't say anything in the very beginning. Why I let them do that to my brother in law and my nephew.
'Sister, have you never wondered why your husband's people changed all of a sudden to be accommodating to your husband? Or why, after the sudden change, they changed back and became worse? Even going ahead to kill your family.'
'It is all because of him. He is the reason they pretended to accept him, he is the reason they killed your family, and he is the reason behind all of this.'
