Divinity: Chapter fourteen

Flashback

"Si vis pacem, para bellum'' Obelix told Gaia when they were sitting on the marble floor. Her tears couldn't stop falling for her precious eyes.

"I know Obelix... " her sobbing made the priest's heart cringe. He never saw his princess cry, wiping one of her fresh tears he smiled.

"I'll pray for you..."

Her eyes showed gratefulness, she stood up and walked to her room; he heard the soft click of her door and knew it was time to go to the temple room.

End of flashback.

There he was, on his knees; praying in the small temple.

The walls were covered with roses of all colors, the sunlight entered from the top of an uncovered ceiling, the energy was flowing, his heart feeling all what his princess was feeling.

Soft words were escaping his lips, a communication between this planet's crystal and the higher Gods. Words he could only hear.

Tantum ergo sacramentum
Veneremur cernui:
Et antiquum documentum
Novo cedat ritui:
Praestet fides supplementum
Sensuum defectui.
Salus, honor virtus quoque
Sit et benedictio:
Procedenti ab utroque
Compar sit laudatio

Tears were trailing down his face. He felt the suffering his princess was having; he felt how his words were taken by the wind. From afar he could hear soft steps, like if someone was running.

He stood up and went out of the temple and watched his princess ran away from the shrine.

He knew where she was going.

"Please, be careful" he said softly.

Ares was sitting in a conference room talking to other gods about some things they needed to take care of, he thought it was right to think to start arrangements with other alliances in the galaxy when he felt the need to take a break to get some fresh air.

He felt as if his head was about to explode, he excused himself from the room and went outside.

He was at a magnificent place. He took in the surroundings, the sky was pale and could be seen many planets as if it were satellites. Earth looked like a crystal marble from afar. He was thinking about her.

"Why haven't I heard from you?" Ares asked, his words floating in the soft breeze. Laughs were heard behind him.

He turned immediately to only see a woman in black; her dark hair floating in the soft breeze so long that reached the floor.

Her dark yellow eyes stared at him.

"What are you doing here?" he asked serious.

"I'm asking myself the same question, what are you doing here?" she smiled.

"I'm busy. Get out of this place" his voice was now in a threatening tone.

"I will...I just want to ask you one thing...Have you heard anything about Gaia?" she crosses her arms in front of him.

"What do you want Metallia" he asked again, this time he placed his hand were his sword hung at his side.

"You'll see" she laughed and vanished away.

"What the hell was that?" he asked to himself.

Queen Narella strolled through the palace's gardens when one of the maids came close and gave a low curtsy.

"Your Majesty, there's a girl who wants to see you"

"Today?...that's strange...I don't have any appointments for today" said the queen.

"Do I ask her to leave?" the maid asked, her small hand covering the sun from her eyes.

"Did she give you her name?" the queen closed her umbrella and gave it to the small girl in front of her.

"No Your Majesty" the brown haired girl told the queen.

"Very well...bring her here, I'll wait" Queen Narella sat on one of the benches in the garden.

The petite maid didn't take too long in guiding the girl where the queen was waiting.

"Your Majesty" the maid called again.

Queen Narella saw the girl behind her and recognized her.

"Oh! Dear, what a pleasant surprise!" Queen Narella smiled and gave the girl a hug.

"Griet, you are excused" the little maid gave her queen a bow and left.

"I'm so sorry, I know my visit is unexpected" Gaia said to the Queen.

"Oh no dear, don't worry, I'm so glad you came! I was wondering if you were coming sometime soon" The queen motioned for Gaia to follow her.

"Care for some tea dear? I don't want to presume but we have the best rose tea in the area, and since it's lunch time, it would be a nice way to know each other a little bit more, what do you say?" the queen smiled and patted Gaia's shoulder softly.

"How can I say no, it's an honor Your Majesty" Gaia smiled back.

Queen Narella cracked a soft laugh "Aren't you adorable? Come; follow me to the tea garden"

The tea garden was Queen Narella's favorite place in all the Palace, it wasn't exactly a room, but a small garden full of flowers. A large white round table was in the middle of the small place a big white umbrella gave shade to the people who sat there, a small river could be heard in the background, small stone steps guided them to the table. They sat.

"This place is beautiful" Gaia said in wonder.

"Thank you, it's my favorite place, I love the small river that goes around us, you can actually hear the small fish jump in the water" said the Queen.

"Lovely" Gaia said smiling.

Soon the same maid that led her to where the queen was brought a tray with the tea pot and their respective cups, another maid came in with a tray full of pastries, small sandwiches and chocolates.

"Everything looks delicious" Gaia commented.

"Please, suit yourself" the queen said, while filling the cups with the soft pink liquid.

"Tell me Gaia, how you know my son?" the queen took a sip of her tea while looking at the raven beauty.

"From a discussion. He was upset about something and I wasn't agreeing with his arguments but we ended up being friends" Gaia said taking a sip of the tea.

"This tea is delicious"

The queen smiled "I told you we had the best rose tea, try this...you'll love it" she gave her a piece of chocolate.

"Oh my... this is delicious, I've never tried something like this before" Gaia said sincerely; she remembered the time when she had some food when she was with Eros at that party.

"Your Majesty, I wanted to ask for your forgiveness about what happened last night at the ball, I feel so ashamed" Gaia told the queen.

"Dear...you don't have to apologize...it wasn't your fault, it was actually just a matter of time for that girl to explode the way she did. She is a very spoiled girl and I could tell Eros wasn't comfortable around her...he always found a way to leave the room whenever she was around" the queen said.

"Can I ask you something? The queen asked after she took another sip of her tea.

"Of course Your Majesty" Gaia said, she wasn't used to treat other people the way maids treated her in real life, but she wasn't uncomfortable doing it. She liked being around the queen.

"Do you care for my son?"

Gaia directed her gaze from the cup of tea to Queen Narella.

"I do Your Majesty, very much" she responded with sincerity in her words.

"Does he cares for you?" the queen asked again.

"Yes." Gaia simply said.

"Tell me the truth dear...why is it so hard for you to be together? the queen took Gaia's hands softly.

"Because I'm not a free person" Gaia said and looked down at their holding hands, she felt fresh tears forming in her eyes again but fought for not to let them fall.

"Are you married child?" the queen asked shocked.

"No! no Your Highness...but I don't live in the same place where your son does" Gaia said sadly.

"Isn't there something we can do to help?" the Queen Narella asked.

"I hope there is...we will find a way" Gaia said sadly.

Serenity was at the main court picking some flowers; Athan was in a meeting and would take a while before he could come for her to have dinner together.

Just like any other day, the sun was shining brightly; she was enjoying herself placing all the flowers in a white basket when she suddenly saw someone being escorted to one of the palace's living rooms.

Wondering who it was she tried to follow them and saw a woman in black.

"She looks familiar..." Serenity thought.

It was a better idea if she stayed near the hall so she could hear something to know who this woman was when she then saw one of the guards who escorted the woman coming out of the room.

Serenity asked him with interest. "Who is that woman in black that just arrived a few minutes ago?"

"She told us she was a Goddess and wanted to have a word with King Geb and Queen Nut Your Highness" the guard said.

"A word with Geb and Nut?...who was she and why did she needed a word with them?...No...could it be related to Gaia...? Oh by all heavens..." she said to herself.

Inside the large room, King Geb and Queen Nut were having tea when they were interrupted by a woman named Metallia.

"Your Majesties...it's a pleasure to see you doing well" Metallia said, walking towards the royals.

"And...you are?..." Queen Nut watched the dark woman.

"Your Majesty...I'm Metallia...I need a..." Metallia was interrupted

"What do you want?" King Geb asked with an expression of discomfort.

"I need to talk to you. Metallia smiled. "It's about Gaia"
