Bride of War Part 4
The years passed and as Duo grew, so too did Heero matching him in age.
Heero began to feel more and more, and found himself reluctant to be parted from the exotic youth who had grown in beauty.
Heero's temple was no longer filled with rage and solemnity, it was filled with a simple enjoyment of life and Duo's ringing laughter.
It was not only the temple that had changed with the enlightenment of Heero, the rest of the world had changed as well. No longer was war the prevailing force that covered the world. As Heero's rage had been tamed, so had his desire to spread the sparks of war.
The other gods had noticed this and were curious as what could have affected the cold, unfeeling God of War to this extent. So it was that the other gods and goddesses crept to Heero's sacred temple and studied it for several days.
They were amazed as they caught their first glimpse of the lovely youth Duo. It was easy to see he was being groomed to become Heero's High Priest. This puzzled the other deities because it was obvious that Duo did not like violence, but none could deny the soothing and humanizing affect he had on Heero.
They watched in awe as Heero would smile at the braided boy's antics and even laugh with him, but the most telling gesture was his acceptance of hugs from the slender beauty. They were pleased with what they observed, but this still did not stop a disaster from happening.
