His Devious Harbinger: How To Tame A Wicked God?

Chapter 227: Who is hotter: sun or fire? (1)

Everyone in Iravan knows that the god of sun is in love with the god of fire. 

Of course, the god of fire herself is an exception to that. 

If someone asks the sun god why he hasn't proposed the goddess fire, he would say, 

"What if she rejects me?"

If someone tells him to put an end to his one-sided love, he would say,

"Sun is the fire itself. How do I forget her?" 

And if someone corrects him that the sun is not made of fire but plasma and a bunch of gases, he would say,

"My heart burns only for her." 

Eshyal gazes at the fire goddess from the sky. At night, he would peek at her realm, hoping to catch her glimpse. It's been going on for countless years. 

Even Noras is troubled by this creepy one-sided form of love, but he doesn't want to get involved in the personal lives of gods. Handling Adira's issues have already been enough for him. Now, he wants to concentrate on his pregnant wife. 

Eshyal, the god of the sun, is fine with loving a certain goddess from afar.

"I think that I am going to have a girl." Sitting on the grass in the garden, Ea, the goddess of wind, rubs her flat baby with shiny eyes. It's only been days since she got knocked up. It's too early to tell the gender, even for a god. "I want her to be dumb like Noras."

Why do you want her to be dumb?" Niela, the goddess of water, questions her. "I guess I understand. If Rilyah wasn't over smart, she wouldn't have tried outsmarting Adira."

"It's not the same without Mirinae." Mahuna, the goddess of fire, grumbles, "I wish Rilyah would wake up soon."

Mirinae isn't here today. She's taking care of Rilyah. Her daughter's health is improving. Colours are back in Rilyah's eyes. Her essence is slowly moving into her body. But it will take a while before she can even move her fingers. In any case, Mirinae hasn't blamed Adira or anyone else from his family. After all, Rilyah brought it upon herself. But Mirinae is also a mother. It's painful to see her daughter in that state.

"Cina's health is also improving." Niela puts her hands on the ground and leans back slightly, stretching her back. Sighing, she says, "Mahuna, you and I are still single."

"I want to date someone." Mahuna raises her hands in frustration. "But nobody can deal with my fire."

"Nobody?" Niela raises her brow, aware of the sun in the sky. 

"Adira and Noras are married." Mahuna wrinkles her nose, looking at Ea with an annoyed look. "Why are you smug?"

"Do you know the speciality of the primordial gods?" Ea smirks at her. "They have an extremely high libido. I am sure that Ari can understand my woes."

Mahuna scowls at Ea. The goddess of the wind never skips an opportunity to talk about her husband's libido. 

"Oh well" Niela lets out a heavy sigh. "I might remain single for an eternity."

"There are single gods." Ea smiles at Niela. "Though Cina got a wife recently, Eshyal is still there."

"Eshyal is already interested in someone else." Niela rolls her eyes. "Besides, I don't think that I can deal with him. His personality is too clingy for me."

"He is interested in someone." Ea glances at Mahuna who is scratching her chin. "Maybe he's good enough to deal with someone's fire."

"Heat plus heat will be equal to more heat." Niela ponders, "It might be only smoke and nothing else."

"What are you two talking about?" Mahuna knits her brows. "Heat plus heat? Are we studying fire now? I am an expert. Ask me."

Niela and Ea share a look. The sun is hiding behind the clouds. It's probably a good time to say the obvious to a certain goddess. Ea suggests to Mahuna, "There's a god who might be a good match for your fire." 

"There is?" Mahuna creases her forehead. 

Ea adds, "And he's a god of Iravan."

"Who?" Mahuna raises her brow. "Is it some minor god?"

"No, No." Niela points at the sky. "What do you see?"

Mahuna looks in the direction where Niela is pointing at. "God of clouds? Nope! He vaporized the moment I touched his hand once. It was a horrible date." 

Ea chuckles and says, "Behind the clouds."

"Sky?" The lines on Mahuna's forehead become deeper. "We don't have a god of the sky."

"Ooof!" Niela holds her head. "What do you have in your head?"

"Just say the name." Mahuna clicks her tongue. "Why do you talk in circles?"

"I was pretty direct." Ea sighs. The god of the sun is hiding behind the clouds. "I was talking about Eshyal. I heard that he's hotter than you are."

"What?" Mahuna widens her eyes. "Eshyal? That man? He can't be hotter than me."

"Ari that the temperature of the sun is quite high." Ea scratches her chin. "She said that the sun is made of plasma or something. I heard that She asked Eshyal if how he was handling the plasma power."

"Plasma?" Mahuna feels offended. "Did she say that he's hotter than I am? How is that possible? Sun is made of fire."

"No, she said that plasma is hotter than the fire." Niela blinks her eyes. "Or did she say that fire is hotter than plasma?"

"It was plasma." Ea interjects, "I don't know what plasma is. Noras overheard it when he visited Adira for something. Ari was teaching her daughters and her son. Noras was also surprised when she questioned him about the speed of light."

"No, I am hotter than Eshyal." Mahuna stands up, enraged. "I will find Ari and ask her myself."

"She's not in our world at the moment." Niela tells her, "Try it when she comes back."

"Then, I will confront Eshyal about this." Mahuna glares at the sun. She's the only one who can look at the sun directly. Goddess of the fire has always wondered why she feels like something is watching her back. She knows that it's him. Though she's been feeling this for a long time, she doesn't know how to ask the sun to stop keeping a watch on her.

Does he want to pick a fight with her? 

Now, she is sure that he does.
