Mortal Dealings

Complete and utter blasphemy. I stood there in the rain daring to blackmail and bribe these immortals. How could I... a mere mortal dare to hold power over these beings, these divine creatures who hold so much power they could squash me like an ant.

Standing in the rain. I waited. Would he show? He had to. He couldn't afford not to. Could he? Thoughts stormed in my head like the wind battering my side. Then in a burst of dark feathers, flying coats and the pure force of the winds of the high heavens, he descended.

Clutching my coat closer to my body as if it would protect me from the being of raw power in front of me. I spoke the moment I could, " I need you to do something for me and then I will relinquish my power over your true name."

"Wow, there really is no beating around the bush with you." He chuckled darkly his midnight blue eyes raging. Fear gripped me. It was not a good idea angering a being such as himself, but I needed something and if we feared what the other could do, this temporary alliance should work. I hope.
