Nova smiled. *Lost gods it's been a long time.* She flew above a field, perching atop a tree overlooking it farmers below worked the ground, growing vegetables. It took about 2 years to rid the country of the dead, and society was finally starting to return 30 years later. People were starting to have children again, setting up communities. Arden and Corinne were starting to set up a protection force, whereas Rhett and Jack were working on the government itself.
Nova stretched her wings, breathing in the cold evening air. She lept off the tree, feeling the air swirl around Her, like a cold hug. *True freedom.* She felt like a god. She wasn't one, but she was the closest thing to a god, she no longer had harsh limits on her power.
Nova flew high, with extreme speed, landing herself in the realm of the gods. She had been to the realm every year for her whole life, along most of camp Ironsoul. Nova now took the main seat, that of Ateran. The others sat in their thrones, Rhett, Hunter, Arden, Corinne, Jack, Raven, and Rose. They met semi regularly, every couple weeks.
This meeting was different, Jack had called an emergency meeting, a week early. “Hey guys. Good to see you all.” He started, hesitantly. He glanced to the sky and took a breath. “We won our places 30 years ago, we reestablished the dominance of the human race. We have set up a government, we now reign.”
He glanced to Raven, who nodded at him. Her natural red hair sparkled slightly in the setting sun’s light.
“Anyway. The reason I called this meeting so soon, which I've never done, is because Raven and I are expecting a child.”
All the pain Nova had been through, torture, massacres, tragedy, just melted away. She had been through so much, and yet she smiled.
