Nyx's Conversations with the Dead:Jack
Nyx was walking through her grove with her consort Erebus beside her. She heard a noise coming from behind a tree near her and Erebus.
"Go ahead my love, I will be along shortly." She told Erebus, who reluctantly bowed and put his fist over his heart. He continued walking toward their castle in the center of the grove.
Nyx strode over to the back of the tree, to see Jack crying.
"What is the mater Jack?" she asked. Jack jumped unaware that the goddess had come up to him.
"I miss Damien." he answered wiping his eyes with the back of his hand.
"Don't worry sweety, he will be here with you before you know it" She said kneeling in front of him.
"It'll be along time before Damien dies, what if I start to forget him. What he looks like, what he smells like, why I love him." he broke down crying again once he said that.
"Come here child." Nyx wrapped her arms the crying boy and she rubbed his back trying to comfort him. They were like that for a while before Nyx pulled away.
"You shouldn't think like that." she told him.
"You have to remember all the happy things about Damien, remember him and don't give up hope. You will be with him again." Nyx stated.
"It will be hard without him for so long." he whimpered.
"Why don't you make a list of things you and Damien can do together once he gets here." Nyx told him, knowing that he would jump at the idea.
"That's a great idea, I could show him all my favorite places and the fun things you can do here." Jack said getting giddy at the idea.
"I have another Idea Jack, why don't you come and stay with Erebus and I in are castle till Damien gets here."
"No, I wouldn't want to impose." Jack told her.
"You wouldn't be imposing, to tell you the truth it'd be nice to have the company. Besides it gets kinda boring with only Erebus to talk with." Nyx replied.
"Alright, I'd love to." Jack said.
The to stood up and walked out from behind the trees. They walked to the castle were Erebus was waiting for them.
