A/N: Thank you so much for reading Divinity. It means a lot to me, really, thank you. Enjoy.

I own the story and some of the characters.Previously on chapter eighteen:

Gaia was getting close to the Terran Palace, her feet were sore for all the walking, her body tired. She started to feel weak and dizzy. A few feet away she couldn't take it anymore and fainted.

Obelix was observing the landscape through the window when he suddenly saw a figure coming closer, his heart started to pound harder with every step she seemed to take.

The feeling inside his heart was very familiar. He tried to focus his vision to the person walking towards the Palace when he recognized that long raven hair and the golden dress she was wearing.

"Leonidas!" he ran out of the room looking for the general.

Divinity: Chapter nineteen

Prince Eros was already in the meeting. They have been trying to end the war between the other kingdoms and create an alliance to bring peace to the people.

While the king of the southern kingdom was talking, Eros's mind was thinking on someone else. His finger was tapping softly the wooden table, his left fist covering his mouth. He turned to see his father talking to King Isra and then to the other two kings.

"We need to find a way to finish this nonsense" King Odell said.

"We will stop this fight until everyone gets what we want" King Bernard said placing both of his hands on the table as a matter of emphasis.

"And what is that?" Prince Eros said looking at the Eastern King. "Isn't peace what we all want? Isn't our people's trust?" he stood up.

"I don't see the point of us fighting anymore. We all can get what we want without war" he said again.

King Isra stared at the prince. "Isn't you the ones who have a piece or our land? You have something it belongs to us"

Eros turned to face the southern king. "This land or any other land doesn't belong to any of us"

"Of course it's ours!" the southern king said raising his voice. "You stole it from us!"

"We are not stealers" Eros said sternly. "We are just inhabitants of a beautiful planet we don't even admire because of this constant fighting"

King Odell's eyes widened in shock; he had never listened his son speak with so much feeling.

He could tell his son was worried about something, his face looked tired and yet he was still here trying to reason with other kings to stop war.

"We need to understand, all of us that we are supposed to bring peace to people, a good life. And we are not fulfilling our duty by continuing with this war" said the prince and sat back down on his chair.

"Prince Eros has a point" King Bernard said. "You're a noble prince; you will be a great king one day"

King Odell was about to speak when a knock on the door interrupted him.

Obelix ran as fast as he could, trying to find Leonidas; he felt something in his heart that was telling him the fainted person outside was his princess. Asking to many of the servants where he could find the general.

Leonidas was in the study organizing some important papers for the prince to read later when he hears the door opens. The priest was standing at the door.

"She's here!" he simply said.

The general understood who he was referring to and ran with him outside the palace to find her.

"Open the gates now!" Leonidas said out loud to the guards.

Once they were open both men ran to where the figure was lying.

"By all heavens...Princess!" Obelix said placing a hand on her back.

"We need to take her inside immediately!" Leonidas said lifting her off the ground.

Once they were inside the palace, they took her to the prince's chambers and laid her down on his bed.

Obelix asked one of the maids to bring some food and water for her.

Leonidas saw her injured skin. "What have they done to her?" his face worried.

"I don't want to even imagine..." Obelix took one of her hands and caressed it. "We need to call the prince"

"But he's in a meeting..." Leonidas said.

"He needs to know she's here. Otherwise we don't know how much she is going to hold on" Obelix said concerned.

"I'll go get him" Leonidas said before leaving the room.

"Dear princess...what have they done to you?" the priest asked her softly and then started to say some prayers.

Leonidas walked in a hurry towards the conference room where the meeting was taking place. His steps echoed in the hall, his heart was beating very fast.

Once he got there without hesitation he knocked the door.

"Who's knocking on the door?" King Odell asked annoyed. "Come in" he said out loud.

"Your Majesty...I need to have a word with Prince Eros" Leonidas said after giving a low bow to all the royals in the room.

"Can't it wait?" King Odell asked again upset.

"It's important Your Majesty" Leonidas said.

Eros turned to his father and said only for him to hear "It's okay father, I'll be back" he stood up and excused himself out of the room.

"What's going on Leonidas? This is an important meeting" Eros said to the general.

"I know Eros, but, what I have to tell you it is too of great importance" Leonidas said.

Eros raised a brow.

"Goddess Gaia is alive." Leonidas said.

Eros eyes widened. "Where is she?"

"We took her to your room"

Eros didn't have to think twice this matter and went straight to his room. With each step he took, he got more and more worried about her, how she was, if she was okay.

He didn't hesitate to open his chamber's doors, once he entered he saw Obelix sitting next to her fragile body.

"Gaia…" his voice was soft.

Obelix turned to see the prince, he stood up and stepped aside letting the prince come closer to her.

"She's unconscious…General Leonidas and I found her outside this way" the priest said.

Eros sat down next to her and took her limp hand. "Gaia…please, open your eyes"

"What have they done to her?" Leonidas asked worried.

"I tried to link my energy with hers, but she's not responding" Obelix said.

Eros felt desperate. He couldn't stand to see her like that, her face was worn out, her hair disheveled, her lips dry.

"I can't stand seeing her like this!" Eros let out a frustrated cry.

"Your Highness…I don't mean to interrupt, but you have to return to the meeting" Leonidas said.

"But I can't…" Eros was soon interrupted by Obelix.

"You don't have to worry Your Highness…I'll take care of her" he took once again her hand.

"Very well…please, if anything happens, anything, please send Leonidas to inform me right away" Eros said before leaving his chambers.

"I can't believe she's gone" Serenity said quietly, her eyes were red from crying.

Athan was by her side caressing her arm. "I know dear, I know…"

Serenity lifted her head and faced her husband. "I have a feeling, something tells me that something else is about to happen…I'm worried"

"Why do you say that?" Athan asked concerned.

"Because I don't think Metallia is over with her revenge" Serenity said worried.

The moon palace was silent; it felt like if someone had just died. The halls were empty and there wasn't enough candles lit. Everyone was feeling the absence of the earth goddess.

At the main court was King Geb, he sat on the same bench he was sitting were he talked for the last time to her daughter. His eyes were fixed on the blue sphere hanging in the dark sky.

"Gaia…" he murmured, hot tears were forming in his deep green eyes.

"Why did you tell the Higher Gods about her fault?" a male voice said.

Geb turned around and saw Ares standing near the fountain.

"Ares…" he said.

"Why…if she was your daughter…and you knew this could happen to her, you went and let them harm her?" Ares asked again.

"You don't understand Ares" Geb said, his voice sounded tired.

"You adore her…why Geb?" Ares walked towards Geb and stood there.

"She broke my heart" Geb said.

"All of us make mistakes…" Ares said.

"When you have a family Ares, you expect the best of them. You try to do your best to make them succeed…it breaks my heart to know that my two children made terrible mistakes" Geb said, his eyes still fixed on the blue planet in front of him.

"She is not like him." Ares said.

"No, she's not. But she's gone as well" Geb said directing now his gaze to Ares.

"And that is why I want you to go and destroy the shrine on Earth" Geb said, he stood up and looked at Ares straight in the eye.

"Geb…" Ares couldn't finish what he was saying when Geb interrupted him.

"You are the God of War…put an end to that disaster I had for daughter" the king said, turned around and headed back to the palace.

Ares stood there; he couldn't believe what he just heard.

He knew Geb was upset but this was a side of him, he never imagined for him to have. After all he was once the Protector of Earth, and was an excellent fighter.
