This whole chat minus Kye @ Astral and Derlik

The gods @ random people

"I…" Derlik looked down at his hand in Kye's. "What do you know, about what happened with Wren?" The god chose to ask instead. Ease into this.

“Well… I know that you stopped by to see Wren and he was awake. He um… did something to you somehow, then he started saying all of this sad stuff in chat that he wanted to die…?” Kye started, already rambling. He didn’t like thinking about how torn up Wren currently was while he lived such a happy life. “Then Elliot got Marcos, you guys were fighting and everyone was hurt.”

(I love all of these XD)

"Yeah… that's a really good thing," Mia agreed. "And that Kye person seemed to have a lot of connections."

"Well, the thing he did was…" Derlik let out a breath. Start at the beginning. "You know how souls have a harder outer shell when they're not in a human form? Well, god's have those too… and he put me in mine. And I got really, really upset…"

“Yeah it really seems like he does, doesn’t it?” Simon replied, chuckling softly.

(> Mother @ Astral or Derlik when something was both of their faults and one got caught first: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/VuNH-Zo_V8JeFpsikxc0ybj6ntdnR1ibIwXEZahVajhr2tcc7tvbYAvRty9V3TqEq8jko5USawBTa7exUO0UDCEIvi0oibUH68CU3wQODTQyRcJQ2iI)
(I can't view this one tho ;-;)

((That’s the “Kim stop taking pictures of yourself, your sister’s going to jail.”))

“Yeah it really seems like he does, doesn’t it?” Simon replied, chuckling softly.

(I can't wait for Simon to meet him and just go: wtf he's like 10-)
(Kye: I'm 11 so shut the fuck up-)

(okay no he'd be nicer but i had to do the meme lmaooooo)

((Omg yesssssssss that’d be hilarious))

"Well, the thing he did was…" Derlik let out a breath. Start at the beginning. "You know how souls have a harder outer shell when they're not in a human form? Well, gods have those too… and he put me in mine. And I got really, really upset…"

Kye listened, understanding. He figured the souls of gods were at least somewhat different to human ones. The lesser gods were different anyways, their make up being only dust and an inky black soul. The boy wondered how a human could even do that. He would have to ask about it more when he met up with Wren. Not that he would ever do it. He was just… confused.

"A-And…" Derlik let his hold on Kye loosen some. He knew his son would pull away. The one who hadn't even flinched as he tore Blake's soul from his body. The one who'd been with him for centuries, seen all the things he did, and loved him anyway. He knew this wasn't going to be okay.
"A-and, I let myself g-get… like I used to… when Wren let me out, and… I… cracked him." Kye had seen Derlik destroy souls before- it was necessary, after all, to bring back dead gods. And Derlik had brought back many dead gods under his care before. They fought so often in the old days…

Kye froze. No. He didn't hear that right. No. No no no. Kye's breathing got faster, and it was just as he expected, the boy twisted out of the god's arms. He slid off the rock slowly, taking Blake and his phone along with him. He needed some time to think about it. He almost lost someone he deeply cared about… because his own dad nearly destroyed him…?
He could only heard the shattering of souls play in his ears. He kept walking, not quite knowing where he was going. It wasn't very far due to the fact some of the lesser gods seemed to like to attempt to steal the shrunken human from him, but he needed some time to think. He sat down before Kye set his friend gently down in the grass, along with his phone. Then he hugged his knees close to his chest.

Derlik watched Kye walk away, tearing falling slowly. He knew this would happen, and unlike some gods, he would give Kye his space. He would let Kye work through his thoughts, and then they could talk. They could talk, and figure out how to make sure it never happened again, and then everything would be okay.
Derlik closed his eyes, pulling his own legs up to his chest. He was such a fucking idiot. For so long, he'd made sure he was careful, and then he fucked it up. He hurt the one other mortal Kye cared about for centuries.

“Are you alright?” Blake asked, regretting the words as soon as they left his mouth. ‘What a dumb question of course he’s not!’ They scolded themselves before looking back up at Kye. “Is there anything I can do?”

Kye looked up and gave the boy a soft smile. "Ah… sorry. I just didn't feel right being alone. If you can just stay here a while…?" he asked, voice sounding weak. He normally might have taken Blake into a light embrace, but right now, he let them be.

“Yeah yeah of course, I don’t mind.” Blake said, moving closer and grabbing one of Kye’s hands with his smaller ones.

Kye smiled lightly again before seeming to have a staring contest with his knees. After a few moments, Kye couldn't keep himself quiet any longer. "Dad told me… that he did something bad to Wren," he whispered, feeling tears beginning to come. All he could imagine was his dad taking Wren's soul in his hand and slowly beginning to squeeze. The tiny fractures spreading to full on cracks…

“But Wren’s okay now, that’s good, right?” Blake said, trying to prevent Kye from getting too deep in his bad thoughts.
