Divinity: Chapter thirty one
Serenity walked through the long hall that directed to the conference room of the Moon palace.
Her heels clicked with each step she took, her silver aura lightens softly the path she was taking. Her personal maid told her there was somebody who needed to talk to her immediately.
The guards at the large white doors bowed at her presence and opened them letting her to come inside.
"You wanted to see me?" Serenity asked.
Ares turned the chair around and met Serenity's stern face. "Yes"
"What can I do for you?" she said walking towards the large marble table.
"For a new Queen, you are not being polite"
"How can I be polite, after knowing what you did" she placed her hands on the table, her lavender eyes watching Ares.
"Remember who I am"
Serenity's eyes widened. "That's no excuse"
Ares let out a sarcastic laugh. "Oh Serenity, dear. You will always be a soft queen. I never understood your friendship with her…she is so different from you"
"Is this what you needed to tell me?" Serenity raised her voice a little.
"I want to know how is she. You are the only one who can tell me that"
"Why should I tell you and how should I know?…you didn't help her when you could!"
"Because I know you. And speaking of helping…you didn't help her either"
Serenity's face fell. She knew he was right, but she remembered Gaia asking her to no to do anything, she wanted to be free."
"You don't understand"
"What am I don't seem to understand Serenity?" he stood up in a drastic move, sending the chair a few feet away.
Serenity remained in her place watching his explosive new demeanor develop. She felt scared but she didn't want him to know it.
"That she isn't here anymore, that she is a stupid mere mortal?" he raised his voice.
"She once felt love for you Ares but you never looked at her, instead you bedded other women and broke her heart so many times by telling her" Serenity said remembering the several amount of times when she cried until she fell asleep in her room because of him.
Ares eyes widened in shock. "What are you saying?"
"What you just heard. She was in love with you a long time ago. But she accepted you were never going to look at her the way she wanted you to, she stopped looking you as a man and started looking you as her friend, as her mentor in battle." Serenity looked down.
"Don't blame her for moving on and leaving you behind" she said raising her face, revealing two sad and teary lavender eyes.
Ares was in shock, he never imagined Gaia once had feelings for her. But his rage took control all over again.
"I must go to earth" he said.
"You leave her alone!" Serenity said.
"She is mine!" Ares raised his voice.
"You did enough! You destroyed her shrine…you tried to kill Obelix!" Serenity tried to come near him to calm him down.
"She belongs here! She belongs to this realm not to that insignificant mortal one"
"She chose to live there!" Serenity insisted in defending her friend. She knew Ares could bring destruction to her new life now that she wasn't a goddess anymore.
"She will be mine again" he said. His voiced sounded more like one of a mad man.
"You pushed her away. You lost. Let her be"
"She must be missing us all"
"She's happy"
"She cannot be happy living in an insignificant world. I must got to earth"
"You have nothing to do there"
"Of course I do. I will convince her to come back"
"You won't be able to do that. She's in love, leave her alone!"
"That's not love Serenity! That's stupidity, she deserves better than him!" Ares pounded the marble table with both hands.
"She is where she wants to be, with the man she chose to love and it's not you Ares, deal with that. You just can't stand the fact that she chose a mortal over you." Serenity said sternly.
Ares's gray eyes went dark with fury. "I love her"
"Too bad Ares because she doesn't love you back" Serenity's eyes too went a darker shade of purple and raised her index finger at him.
"And if you do something to her, I swear with my life, you will highly pay for it" she said.
"Are you threatening me?" Ares asked perplexed.
"I'm warning you" Serenity responded.
Ares face fell serious and with nothing else to say walked past the lunar queen and left the room.
Serenity stared at the enormous window in front of her and saw the blue planet hanging proudly in the vast space.
"I will protect you dear friend"
"Dear, I can't eat that!" Gaia whispered into Eros ear.
He laughed. "Why not"
"It's a dead bird!" she said in shock.
"You might hate us…you might hate me as well, but dear, we all humans eat meat" Eros stared at her.
"You…" she turned to see again the big golden plate with the cooked peacock on it.
"That's our way to survive" he said again, not sure how Gaia will react.
"You actually took its life to save yours?" she asked.
"We have to eat. Don't you eat?
"Yes. But not animals…"
"It's a circle of life. You can't judge us because of that"
Gaias eyes started to fill with tears. Eros felt concerned and took her hand. "Dear…"
"Do I have to eat peacock?" she asked terrified.
Eros smiled in relief. "No dear you don't have to if you don't want to"
Gaia smiled. "I'm sorry…I'm giving you so much trouble…"
"Hey, why do you say that?" Eros asked.
"I'm not a normal girl…" Gaia said sadly.
Eros lifted her face with his hand softly. "Who says I like normal girls?"
Gaia laughed. Eros placed his hand on her cheek and caressed it softly. "We're finally together; I won't leave you, ever. I yearned for this moment to come so much…I love you"
"My lovely Dea would you grant me this dance?" Eros extended his hand to her.
Gaia laughed softly. "Why, yes Your Highness"
"And the next dance after that, and the next one and the next one?"
"Forever" she said.
They both walked to the center of the court were the people were dancing to the sound of the music the band was playing. All the guests were intrigued by the beauty of the girl and the love their prince showed for her in public.
A new piece was starting to play. A soft tune, a melody that guided both royals of both worlds to follow. He twirled her several times, making her dress glimpse by the light of the candles like if she were a star, everybody surrounded the dancing couple in awe and stared.
A jealous girl was in the back drinking wine from her crystal glass wishing the one dancing with the prince was her. She wished she could find a way to bring that mysterious girl down and turn herself the new queen.
Queen Narella was more than happy to see her son with a beautiful and refined girl. She still wanted to know more about her, but for now she decided she was going to enjoy the moment and see the happy couple enjoying their engagement party.
Gaia felt like she was living a dream, her dream. What she always wanted.
To be dancing with the man she loved, to feel free and complete. But this time she was awake.
They danced for several hours until it was time for the party to come to its end. When the couple stopped dancing, they turned to see a very cheerful audience clapping and smiling at them.
Eros guided Gaia to the steps were the royal thrones were and turned to see his father which was about to speak.
"We are more than grateful to the gods to let us be here tonight celebrating this moment we never thought could happen" King Odell laughed.
The audience laughed softly at their king's joke, Eros smiled.
"It is our great pleasure to introduce to all of you, Lady Gaia. We are happy to have you with us and expect to treat her as well as you treat my son" King Odell raised his glass in the air.
"For Prince Eros and his Lady Gaia" he said.
"For Prince Eros and his Lady Gaia" everyone said in unison raising their glasses as well.
"We want to thank you all for coming, and we'll see you soon. Have all a pleasant night"
"We will see about that…" a woman said from behind the crowd, a glass of wine in her hand, near her she saw an enraged girl drinking desperately her wine and thought she was going to be her best weapon.
"Your dress is lovely" the woman in red said.
"This old thing?" Charmindy said blushing.
"Well I think it looks gorgeous on you…" she trailed off.
"Thank you. Do I know you?" asked Charmindy after she took another sip of her wine.
"I don't believe we have. But I don't seem to matter that…I mean, of all the girls that man could have chosen hw chose her. A nobody" the woman said.
"I dated him for a while, I could have married him if she haven't showed up" Charmindy said between teeth.
The woman in red smiled. "I have you…" she thought.
"Well…I truly think you would be a better queen than her…you are gorgeous"
"Do you know that girl?" Charmindy asked.
"Why would I know a nobody? … a common peasant or a witch"
"Witch?" Charmindy's widened.
"Well if you think about it, isn't so strange than she appeared out of nowhere, and suddenly the prince fell in love with her and so the king and queen?" the woman said.
"Well…she is mysterious, but she doesn't seem like she were a witch" Charmindy said.
"Be careful…you could find one in the least expected places and at the most unexpected time. You never know when you'll meet one" the woman said.
"Nobody seems to know where she's from…" Charmindy trailed off.
"Isn't that strange….?" The woman asked.
"It's a good reason…she even stays at the palace!" Charmindy said.
"I don't believe it's just because they liked her since the beginning. That is too strange" the woman said.
"Oh my…she's a witch!" Charmindy said in a whisper.
"And a witch is soon going to be your new queen, are you going to let that happen?" the woman laughed softly.
"No…thank .." Charmindy was surprised to see the woman in red missing.
"Where did she go?" she asked. "But…she's right, it's too suspicious…and obvious she's a witch and I have to stop her" Charmindy said.
Gaia's eyes widened when she felt a strong presence. She tried to figure out who it was for only powerful beings had that strong aura. She tried to look for the owner of that energy but she couldn't since everyone was wearing a costume.
"Maybe it's just my imagination…" she thought.
