Broni nodded her head. “I think he wanted to use me against Zerina.” Broni shuddered, fear for her sister flooding her mind.
“He’s the one behind this?”
Broni explained what had happened while he had been gone.
He remained silent while she told him, emotions swirling across his face.“That explains why humans haven’t been able to rebuild; he’s influencing the gangs to keep the cities in chaos.”
Broni agreed with him. It explained why the violence was escalating instead of calming.
“I need to talk to your mother,” he said suddenly. “Go back inside until I return. I won’t be long.”
“Why are you going to see my mother?”
“I’ll be back. I don’t think he’s acting alone. This is a war against your mother, and Dionysus is a peon, not a commander.”
“Who could be in charge then?”
Warrior shook his head, disappearing without answering her question.
If Dionysus was only being used by the person who was really trying to take control from Mother, then the battle would worsen. Humans were barely hanging onto their fragile grasp of civilization as it is. If someone else were involved, that could take this war to the Gods. Then, the only ones able to save them would be Odin’s army.
Her warrior was Odin’s commander, so if the war went to the realms, he could be killed. She would lose him again. An immortal that died in the realms was not reborn—he would be lost forever.
Chapter 30
The warrior appeared beside Fate.“You saw?”
“Yes. You do not believe that Dionysus is doing this on his own?”
“No. He is just a pawn as Morgana was.”
“Who do you think is responsible?”
Broni’s mother was clearly exhausted. He was sure that watching Broni being attacked and being unable to help as well as concern for Zerina had taken its toll.
“First, I want a promise from Mother.” Warrior folded his arms across his chest.
“What kind of promise?”
“That will be between Mother and me,” the warrior stated his terms. He had to use Fate to carry his message because no one was granted an audience with Mother without permission.
Her face paled, but she nodded her head in agreement. She disappeared a moment, gone briefly before returning.
“She agrees.”
The warrior gave a sigh of relief.
“Now, who is the one responsible?”

“Zeus!?” Broni said in shock.
“Yes.”
“No. He’s Chronos’s son. He was raised with Odin and is Mother’s step-son, but she treated him as well as Odin.”
“He is jealous of Odin. Mother split her inheritance between Odin, Hades and Poseidon, so there was nothing left for him, but he intends to have it all.”
