Bride of War Part 6

It was the day after Duo's fifteenth birthday when the cloaked figure of a woman entered the temple. She waited until Duo left the inner sanctum where she could not enter. She followed and made a noise so that he would turn and notice her. Faking an injury, she drew the innocent to her and when he was within reach, she grasped his hand and disappeared with him.

Heero knew the minute Duo disappeared from his temple and his cry of grief and rage shook the heavens. He vowed that all would suffer until his love was found and returned to him.

It was a dark time for the gods, goddesses, and the earth as Heero ran rampant and embroiled all of the Earth in war. No corner was spared and the death toll was huge. There was no relief for any and the other deities weakened as Heero grew in power and vowed to destroy all in his vengeance for the theft of his most priceless treasure.

So it was that the King of the Gods summoned them all and had a meeting. All but Heero attended, and he no longer had the power to compel Heero to obey him. He demanded to know who had stolen the boy. Hilde stepped forward and acknowledged that she had taken the youth.

However when it was demanded that she return him, she refused. She invoked her right to claim all healers as hers... not even the King of Gods could undo this right.

In his wisdom, he reached a compromise. If Heero could discover where she was keeping Duo and seduce the boy to his side before midnight on his seventeenth birthday, then she would relinquish all rights to the boy. Realizing that she really had no choice, Hilde agreed and left the meeting.

Hilde fled the meeting vowing that no one would take Duo from her. In the short time she had known the beauty, she had come to love him and had no intentions of giving him up.

She took him to her most sacred island that was warded against the other gods and took away his memory of Heero. As far as Duo knew, he had been in an accident that had stolen his memory and would now live here on this island dedicated to the Goddess of Healing.

He had been on the island for a year now and adored everyone on it. He especially enjoyed the visits from Hilde, but sometimes she made him uneasy. He knew she wanted him for a mate but something kept holding him back. Somewhere deep inside his heart, he knew he was in love with another... if only he could remember!
