She couldn't accept it, no matter how much her daughter tells her how happy Gajeel makes her... Lucy can't accept him as Levy's husband. Even if it already had passed thousand of years, she still has rancor and hater in her heart for that God.
So she planned something... something evil, which would bring bad consequences... even to her.
-Come on mother!- Levy called out for Lucy- It's time for me to return to my husband's side!- the Spring Goddess exclaimed happily, crushing the Harvest Goddess heart... once more.
"Keep it calm Lucy" she told herself in her mind "Just a few more hours and she will be yours forever". Levy was so excited, to see Gajeel again, that she didn't notice the maligned smirk that her mother was wearing as she descended the stairs of their home.
Meanwhile, in the Underworld Gajeel was very happy as well as frustrated. He looked at the empty throne on his side and sighed annoyed at not having his wife next to him.
Each second that he spent far from her, he suffered more than any soul that was being tortured in Tartaro. He missed how her smiles would make their cold and harsh kingdom shine as bright as the sun, he missed how her laughter would bring life to their castle, he missed how it would feel to be inside her, he missed how cute she would look whenever he teased her about her height, he missed how powerful and evil she would look as she punished those souls that had been really bad when they were alive "She truly deserves that humans fear her so much that they are even afraid of pronouncing her name" he thought chuckling evilly, he missed her ways of thanking him whenever he let her do as she commands... but what he missed the most is to feel her warmth next to him. To feel that she was safe and sound... he missed his light.
Suddenly, he perked her intoxicating scent "She is early" he noted, in his head, a bit confused of why his sister would let her adored daughter come down here sooner than expecting, but brush it away as he transported himself and his wife to their chamber to make love to his dear Levy...
Saying that Levy, Queen of the Underworld and Spring Goddess, was excited to see her husband again was an understatement. Words couldn't express the joy, happiness, ecstasy she felt each time she takes the chariot ride towards her kingdom.
However, that day was the only moment that she wished to be anywhere but in her palace's chamber... She desired to be able to wipe all the memories of HIS King touching, kissing and confessing his love to another woman... although, it wasn't any other woman. It was Lisanna (Mint) Bickslow's (Apollo) nymph and girlfriend (A/N: In greek mythology there is no mention of Mint and Apollo being together. This is just a modification that i did so the sequel i'm planning to write has coherence).
Poor of my half-brother... he also saw everything and by the look on his face i knew that he was as broken as i was... i knew that he would understand me. That's why i chose to accept his invitation to go to his temple, when he appeared in front of me as i left the Underworld, than returning to my mother's side.
"I'm gonna kill him, i'm gonna kill her, i'm gonna kill both of them!" Bickslow chanted in his head as he held his dear half-little-sister. Levy only spent half a year on the Olympus but she had gained everyone's heart with the time. His specially... don't get him wrong he didn't love her as a woman, after all his heart was for Lisanna no matter how much her betrayal hurt him, he loved the Spring Goddess as a little sister. He loved to see her dance, he loved to hear playing guitar and specially he loved to hear her sing.
The Sun God was the one that taught her to play the guitar and helped her to perfection her dancing as well as singing skills. Their bond had grew strong with the passing of years, slowly and unnoticed for both of them, until it reached a point that they would trust anything to each other. Bickslow told her things that he could have never told anyone, not even his father who he loves and admires a lot. Neither to his musses Laki (Aoide), Bisca (Meletea) or/and Kinana (Mnemea).
That's why watching her sob as if it was the end of every world was the second worst punishment that anyone could give him, the first one was already given to him by Lisanna and Gajeel an hour ago.
-Are you ready buddy for a drinking contests?!- Cana (Dioniso) slammed the door's of his chamber open exclaiming/asking, as always completely drunk. (A/N: I know that Dioniso should be a man... but really what other character of Fairy Tail's guild was a better choice for the God of wine?!)
When she entered one of her best drinking buddies chamber she expected to find him having sex with the girlfriend he loves so much... but she didn't expect to find him consoling a heart-broken Spring Goddess that should be in the Underworld by that time.
-What's going on?- the Wine Goddess asked confused and worried at the same time, if Gajeel finds out about this Bickslow would be dead in less than a second.
-We had been betrayed, that's what happened- the cold tone in which the Sun God talked and his icy gaze made Cana shiver in fear. However, after hearing the one she concidered as a little sister tell the complete story between desperate sobs he was fuming furious- For what's this?- asked Bickslow puzzeled, helding two small bottles of wine that he had just been given by his half-sister.
-That is my special wine, it will take all your worries and sadness for tonight- answered Cana with a mischievously smile. He waited until both of them drank an entire bottle before turning on her heels ready to march towards her house.
The next day in the Underworld, a scream was heard... and not those of the people that were being punished but a feminine sream of someone that had just discovered what happened.
Scared of being killed by the hands of a furious Gajeel she began stuttering- I wa was wi with Lu Lucy in he her ga garden wh when she gi gifted me th this ne necklace, th then i app appeared in your ca castle your hi highness- Lisanna began to sob clinging on the sheets, as Gajeel paced around his chamber with only a robe trying to process everything that she was saying- I wa was ve very confused bu but wh when i saw Bi Bickslow i di din't care... i ju just wa wanted to be wi with him- she cried harder, knowing that her boyfriend would have seen everything from his temple.
She was so deep in her self pitting hole that she didn't flinch when the Underworld's God yelled from the top of his lungs and from the deeps of his rage- Lucy!
(A/N: In the original myth, Hades cheated on Persephone with Mint. But in my story they had only been tricked by Demetre to do it)
-This is bad... this is very bad!- said an agitated Levy as she paced around her half-brother's chamber, after hearing everything that Cana, Laki, Kinana and Bisca had told her- If Gajeel finds out about this blood will be shed!- she shivered at the thoughts of what her husband would do when he finds out, it brought her to the edge of tears but she shed none cause she had to be strong. For herself, for her half-brother and for...
-Then we'll leave!- stated Bicsklow not wanting to lose another important person to him- We will leave until it's safe for step into the light... until it's the right time...- he made their baggage as fast as he could, praying that no one would be able to find them sooner than it was necessary- Muses i forbid you to tell anyone about this!- he demanded with a stern gaze, receiving nervous nods from Laki, Bisca and Kinana- And Cana, my friend, i'll ask you to keep your mouth shut up for only this time- begged Bicklsow to his half-sister, who only nodded with 'sorry' written all over her eyes... but it was too late for that now, the damage was already done...
-Lucy what have you done?!- exclaimed angrily Laxus. He knew that her sister was... let's say troubled, but this was real low- You broke the heart of two of my children... two of the ones i love the most!- an electric storm was formed above each country of earth- It's that your rancor had blind you so much that you didn't notice that your own selfish actions would bring the unhappiness of four Gods!- everyone in the Olympus was silent and sending deadly glares to the Harvest Goddess, who was crying for the lost of her daughter. After all Levy and Bicsklow had vanished into thin air and no one could find them, which was driving everyone crazy. Specially to Gajeel and Lisanna, who seemed that they would commit suicide in any moment when they heard the news- Your punishment will be that when we find Levy i will take away your permission to see her for half a year, she will belong to Gajeel for the rest of times!- the Thunder God stated, shocking everyone. But none commented anything cause the dark aura that surrounded him scared all of them.
Two decades had passed since the disappearance of the Spring Goddess and Sun God. Gajeel never stopped searching for HIS Queen, he even gave Aria (The Death) this mission as principle objective. Meanwhile, Lisanna wandered through the entire world looking for her boyfriend. With time they had both turned into dead bodies, they were alive but their heart and souls were shattered.
So when Levy and Bicklsow received this notices by the muses, that also had been looking for them all those years so they could tell them what truly happened that night, they rushed to their beloved ones sides.
-Gajeel you can not continue living like this- Lily told the Underworld's God, who only grunted and continued polishing HIS Queen's throne so it would be ready for when she comes back. It broke his heart to see his master act so desperate, and he hated Lucy with all his heart for that.
-Juvia thinks that Gajeel should resign in finding her... each day that Aria brings none notices of Levy Juvia sees Gajeel's heart breaking again- Juvia advised her King with all the pain of her heart. She couldn't stand to continue watching her King so torn.
-Don't you dare to repeat that!- Gajeel yelled from the top of his lungs- She is everything to me! I will never stop searching for her! Specially not when she thinks that i cheated on her...
-I don't think that!- a sweet voice, that he remembers perfectly and missed so much this last twenty years, cut him off- The muses had just told me the truth of what happened, but i still can't believe that my mother would do such a thing!- Gajeel looked at his wife with wide open eyes as she advances towards him. Her smell was the same, her eyes were the same, her voice was the same, her hair was a bit longer... but the same indeed, her height was the same... everything in her was the same- MY King why are you crying?- she even called him 'MY King'!
-You are here- Gajeel sighed in disbelief. He had dreamed this too many times, that it seemed unreal at all- You are truly here- the Underworld God hugged his petite Goddess as he burried his face in her sky blue haired, not caring for all the bitter tears that he was shedding- I'll never let you leave my side again!- he growled in her ear making her laugh.
-Don't worry, i don't want to- Levy murmured back, happy to be with him again.
"Another useless day of searching" sighed sadly, in her head, Lisanna- I miss you so much Bickslow...- she said out loud hoping for him to hear her.
-Me too MY Ninph- her favorite voice in the world murmured behind her.
-Bicks...- she was cut off by two pairs of lips against hers.
She didn't care that they were in middle of the forest, she didn't care that he didn't tell her where he had been all this time... she only cared that he was next to her right now.
Both couples were happy once more but Levy and Bickslow knew that they would have to tell their beloved once the truth one day... but for now they would live their lives peacefully, until the time comes...
