A/N: Hey guys! So…this is my first story in Greek Mythology, which I find kind of funny considering most of my stories are for Percy Jackson… Anyway, I don't believe I've seen a story with this couple yet, so I decided to put it into my own hands. I'm doing this for fun because sometimes I just want to write something to write something… Sorry for rambling, BUT this story centers around the meeting of Eos and Astraeus, the birth of the four winds, and them growing up with guest appearances from other deities and their other children (the planets and such). Sorry for keeping those of you who actually read theses long, but enjoy and review, please!

Disclaimer: The beautiful yet bizarre world of mythology does not belong to me.

From Dusk and Dawn Are the Winds Born

Chapter 1

Beneath the weeping willows and sycamore trees, Eos sat tiredly while her sister chatted lively, as she always did as the sun descended beneath the mountains. Eos's deliciously bright blue eyes dulled with boredom as her nimble fingers fiddled with her russet curls. Selene did not seem to notice her sister's state of mind was elsewhere until a heavy sigh filled her ears.

"What is the matter, dear sister?" she questioned, her sultry voice breaking the rambling thoughts of her sister.

Eos's eyes brightened once more as her rosy lips formed a small smile. "Oh, nothing, Selene. My mind enjoys wandering off at the most random of times. I apologize if I distracted you. What were you saying?"

Selene narrowed her eyes, their midnight blue depths seeming to search through her. "Are you positive there is absolutely nothing troubling you? You have not been yourself for the past few days."

"I am sure," she insisted.

"I have also noticed that you enjoy staying out much later than usual," she continued despite Eos's pleas. "Do you fancy a man, perhaps?"

Eos's freckled cheeks burned bright, even in the cover of the oncoming darkness. "O—of course not! What sort of porosity is that? I have not fallen for anyone."

A triumphant smirk slithered onto Selene's plump lips. "I see. Then if you do not fancy anyone…why do you stutter so, and become so flustered? Only those who are honest do not do these things."

Eos's shoulders slumped in defeat as she turned away from her proud sister. "I admit I have fallen under Aphrodite's spell."

The moon goddess jumped up giddily. "I cannot believe it! My little sister is in love! Who is this mystery man, then? Do I know of him?"

The response she received was a simple nod and she squealed in delight. "Well? Who is he?"

Eos bit her bottom lip self-consciously and glanced around as if she feared of being overheard. "It is Astraeus."

With a chortle of excitement, Selene threw her arms around Eos and nearly suffocated her with her ample bosom. "At last, my sister has found a suitor. You have not a single clue of how much joy fills my heart to hear this news. Oh, we must tell Helios. He will be just as excited as I—"

"Please stop, sister," Eos whimpered against the pale skin of her sister's neck.

Selene glanced down curiously at her. "Why do you sound so sad? One would think being in love is a joyous thing, and yet you appear to be depressed. Is something not to your liking about this?"

"I…" her voice faltered. "I am frightened my feelings will not be reciprocated. What if he loves another? Or what if he does not have a lover, but still does not love me? I am so confused."

Selene sighed as she ran her hand along Eos's hair comfortingly. "One does not know such things until such questions are asked. I am not saying this is what you have to do, but it may help console your own heart if consolation is needed. Do what you think is best for yourself, Eos."

Eos was silent for a moment as she registered the advice. "Thank you, lovely Selene. I will ask him…tomorrow."

Selene released a throaty chuckle. "Oh no, I saw him not to long ago wandering this garden. I think it best if you ask him sooner rather than later."

Eos sat up, alarmed. "I cannot! I am not prepared."

"Is anyone really prepared for anything?" she countered. "Now go and see what Aphrodite has in store for you, my sweet sister."
