Divinity: Chapter fifteen

The room fell silent. Geb and Nut stared at each other and then to the suspicious woman in black in front of them. Geb showed an annoyed expression.

"What about my daughter" he asked.

"Is she okay?" Queen Nut asked worried.

"Well...I felt the need to tell you this... since I'm a good friend of her, she's been acting strange...like she's upset all the time..." Metallia started.

"Well...we are aware of our daughter's strong character...so, if that's all you have to say...please leave" Queen Nut said dryly.

Metallia on the other hand was surprised by their attitude, she was expecting more scandal to her words.

"I know why your daughter hasn't come to see you as often as she did before" Metallia started throwing her venom like words.

"And why is that?" King Geb asked lifting a brow.

"Because she has a lover" Metallia stated.

"What? Who?" Queen Nut asked surprised.

"Yes. A mortal lover. An earthling lover." She pretended seriousness but she was enjoying this on the inside.

"What are you saying?" King Geb stood up furious hitting the chair next to him.

Queen Nut couldn't say anything and just covered her mouth with both hands. "That has to be a lie!"

"Go and see it for yourselves...you'll find her in the arms of a mortal" Metallia said loudly.

"Noooooo!" Queen Nut fell to her knees her hands covering her face, frustrated King Geb yelled at the woman in black.

"Get out!" King Geb kneeled next to his wife. Metallia stared at him.

Serenity heard a loud frustrated scream coming from the room where the mysterious guest was talking to Geb and Nut.

She ran as quickly as she could and opened the door in a rush, what she saw frightened her. Nut kneeled on the floor with Geb supporting her and the standing woman in black that turned out to be...

"Metallia..." Serenity said with a cold voice.

"Serenity is witness of it!" Metallia said pointing at her.

Geb didn't want to hear more of this woman.

"I said get out!" Geb stood up, Serenity now holding Nut.

"Very well, I'll leave. But you will find out I was telling you the truth" Metallia said before walking towards the door.

"She's the one who should be put on a seal as well...just like you did with her brother..." she left laughing.

Serenity followed her to the hall. "Why did you do that?" she asked anguished.

"Because I'm tired of you Goddesses laugh about me, I'm tired of you look down on me like if I'm nothing...and you haven't come to realize that I'm actually a threat to you..I know about Gaia's secret...and I know you helped her...I know her past...and one day I'll break her, and when I do that...be sure you are going next" Metallia's voice were determinant.

"What? We never treated you that way… why do you hate us so much?" Serenity said frustrated.

"All of you…took something from me, you took the love of my life away… and now I have the opportunity to revenge his downfall" Metallia said in an angry tone.

"You will never win you witch" Serenity said between her teeth.

"We'll see about that" Metallia laughed and vanished.

"Damn witch!" Serenity said to herself.

She saw Geb and Nut walk out of the room directing towards the main entrance.

"Where are you going?" Serenity asked scared of their answer

"To Earth... to confirm what this woman has said to us, I won't tolerate any lies!" King Geb said.

"No." Serenity gasped.

"It was a pleasure to have you here dear" Queen Narella said to Gaia.

"The pleasure was all mine" Gaia said to the queen with a wide smile.

"Gaia!" a familiar voice was heard from behind her.

Gaia turned to see Eros smiling at her.

"Eros!" Gaia jumped quickly and hugged him.

"How long have you been here?" he asked and kissed her cheek softly.

"We had tea and biscuits" Queen Narella said.

"I see" Eros smiled "I'm glad"

"Yes...I had a lovely time, but I'm afraid I must go" Gaia said turning to see the queen.

"Why so soon?" asked the queen not really wanting her to leave.

"I promise I'll be back very soon Your Highness" she said.

"Come by any time, just like today you don't need to do an appointment, just come by and ask for me...we will have more tea. This time jasmine" the queen winked her eye.

Gaia smiled and headed back home, Eros held her hand.

"Where is she?" King Geb asked upset.

"Your Majesties!" Obelix exclaimed when he saw the king and queen in the main hall"

"Where is she Obelix!" King Geb demanded, his angry voice echoed in the halls.

"I...I don't know...she was here a while ago Your Highness" Obelix tried to cover his princess.

"Gaia!" Geb yelled.

"Your Majesty, is something wrong?" the priest asked with a worried expression on his pale face.

"She is not in her room" Queen Nut said.

"I'm so glad I had the chance to see you" Gaia said turning to see him and cupped his face with her hands.

"Hmmm is that so?" Eros smiled. "Tell me, how much?"

"Very much" she smiled back.

"I knew you were there, one of the maids told me" Eros said with his deep voice. His hand caressed her face; his finger trailed the shape of her face, her nose, and her lips. "Do you have any idea of how beautiful you are?" he asked.

"And do you have any idea of how ugly you are?" she laughed.

"Oh? Am I ugly?" he laughed.

"I'm joking. You are handsome and I love you" she got close to his face and gave him a deep kiss. The two lovers walked for a while until they reached her shrine.

Gaia unaware of what was happening inside of her home hugged Eros tight.

"*Ama me fideliter, Fidem meam toto, Decorde totaliter, Et ex mente tota, Sum presentialiter, Absens in remota " she whispered in his ear.

"**Amor meus amplior quam verba est" his voice deep yet sweet. He then closed the gap between them and kissed her. His hands caressed her back, lifting her off the floor started twirling making her laugh.

Geb heard her laughter and went to the window. He couldn't believe what his eyes were seeing. Nut came next to him and gasped, her hands again close to her mouth and tears started to fall from her eyes.

"I have to go" Gaia said giving her lover a last peck on the lips "But I'll see you tomorrow" she let go of his hand.

"And I'll be waiting for you..." he said softly.

He turned and started to walk back home.

Gaia entered to her shrine, noticing the lights were out, no candles lit she started calling for Obelix.

"Obelix...why is not a single candle lit?" she entered the room and her eyes widened by what she saw.

"Daddy! Mother! W...what are you doing here?" she stuttered.

Geb came near her and couldn't hold his anger anymore; raising his hand he slaps Gaia across her face making her fall to the floor in one hard motion. Nut unable to stop her husband, still covering her mouth stood there, watching.

Obelix ran to Gaia's side.

"You think we're fools!" his raised his voice; his hands were trembling, his anger was evident.

"What?...No! Daddy! Why do you say that?" her hand was covering the place where her father had slapped her, hot tears tainting her face.

"Explain to me what I just saw! What WE just saw!" his eyes were furious. His hands still shaking from anger.

"I don't know what you are talking..." Gaia was interrupted again by his harsh voice.

"We saw you with that man!" he said again. Gaia started to cry; Obelix held her shaking body and tried to calm her down.

"Why...why Gaia? Why with a mortal?" Queen Nut tried to reason with her daughter.

"Didn't we teach you well about this?" King Geb asked, still the fury in his voice was evident.

"I love him!...I love him daddy! Please...understand" she stood up and tried to reach for her father, he backed up a few steps.

"Don't touch me" his voice was dry.

Gaia's sobs were louder. "You are not to see him again!" his voice was determined.

"No..." she said looking up at him.

"What did you say?" both royals said at the same time.

"I won't stop seeing him. I love him." she said again, her voice almost a whisper.

"You dare to challenge me?" he eyes cold, his voice low.

"I dare to do what my heart tells me to do" Gaia said again, stepping close to her father.

"You are not to see him again or any other person!" he raised his voice again.

"Or what? Are you going to put a seal on me just like you did to my brother?" she asked her father.

"Don't you dare talk about him, you know what he did! your situation is different, is demeaning. You are a shame" his voice fell, breaking Gaia's heart.

"Daddy...please..." Gaia pleaded.

"Don't you ever look for us again; you just lost your privileges. I no longer have a daughter. She's dead." his words hit her like a thousand knives to her heart.

Tears showing in her face again, she tried to reach her parents only to be pushed aside.

"May the Gods have some mercy on you...for we won't interfere in their judgment and their punishment" he said turning to his wife.

"Let's go" he said.

Nut nodded and followed.

"Mother..." Gaia called out. "Mother...please...you have been in love...please mother...I need you...I always needed you...don't leave me" she cried.

"You're now worthless... what did I do to give birth to two rebel children?" she left following her husband.

"I am not worthless!" she cried and fell to the floor, pounding it with her fisted hands.

Her cries could be heard in all her shrine. Her world was about to collapse. She no longer was a daughter...she no longer had a family. She was now alone. She touched her face where her father had hit her; her eyes flinched because of the pain.

"Your Highness..." Obelix said reaching for her.

"I am no longer a princess...I am no longer your princess..." she said slowly, her lost stare scared him. She was empty.

"You will always be my princess..." he said taking hold of her arms "Come, let's go to your chambers" he tried to reason with her.

"No...I can't go to sleep...we can't stay here anymore Obelix... you need to go far away...they'll come for me...they'll come to rip the soul out of my body and give it to Hades for the eternity...you have to escape...go!" like a mad person she desperately tried to warn the priest, but with no success.

"Your Highness, I will never leave you...I will stay by your side...you are not alone, you have me and you have him" his words sank in her mind.

"Him..." her eyes widened. "Eros! I must warn Eros!" she tried to stand up.

"I must warn him" she said scared. "I must tell him that war is approaching"
