"Do you have a family, you know…up there? Your…I mean Gaia" Aurea asked.
"Yes…my mother is the Goddess of the Skies and my father the God of Earth, my mother's father is the God of Sun" Gaia said to amazed girl.
"Do you have any brothers or sisters?" the girl asked.
Gaia sighed and lowered her gaze. "Yes…an older brother"
"Is he too the God of Earth?"
"He once was but…he decided to take another path"
"What's his name?" Aurea asked.
Gaia raised her face; her eyes lost in thought "His name is…"
Divinity: Chapter forty three
Flashback
A 5 year old Gaia was sitting in the grass playing with a doll in a golden dress. Her hair was in a small bun at the top of her head, her eyes big and bright green, between honey and apple green; a few feet away was a boy 5 years older than her practicing with a sword.
"You need to concentrate more" King Geb said.
The boy tried hard to master the sword but when King Geb won again he threw the golden sword a few feet away landing next to Gaia.
"I don't understand why I have to use that thing! We could easily beat anyone by using our powers" the boy said upset.
"You need to master that sword in order to use the power of the Crystal" King Geb said.
The boy's black hair fell on his face covering his deep grey eyes "I want to use the Crystal"
"There's no need to use it the Crystal now, it's not a toy!" King Geb said.
"You'll see…when I master the Golden Crystal I'll conquer everything!" the boy said.
"That's not the point in using the Crystal son…" King Geb sighed and turned to leave.
Little Gaia stood up and went to his brother who was standing in the same place his father left him, taking his hand she looked up to see him.
"What is that Crystal?" she asked with curious eyes.
The boy looked down at her. "A stone that could make changes to this universe"
"Why daddy doesn't want you to use it?" she asked confused.
"Because he's jealous that I'll be more powerful than he is" the boy said.
Gaia walked through the darkened halls of the terran palace, her eyes full of worry, her heart was pounding fast. When she opened the door of the throne room she saw him threatening his parents with a black sword.
"What are you doing?" she asked frantic.
"Proving them that I am worthy of the Crystal!" he said, his voice deep and sultry.
Gaia walked towards him. "Please, that won't prove them anything…"
The man turned to see her; the grey color that once was there was now turned to black. "That is why they trained you as well…because they didn't want to give me the Golden Crystal…"
"You want that power to use it against the gods, and everything we have. That is not right!" King Geb yelled.
"What I want is to turn everything the way it should be, I will be the most powerful God of the entire universe and if that means killing the mighty Zeus I will!" the man said with rage.
"But you already are a God…" Queen Nut said.
"Of a planet, I want to be God of the Universe!" he said.
"What have you turn in to, you're a monster!" Queen Nut said.
"And you're a pitiful Goddess, that is why you could never use the crystal" the man said.
"What happened to you?" Gaia asked.
"I became stronger. And I came for what belongs to me" the man raised his sword above this father's head.
"Surrender to me!" he yelled.
Gaia's eyes widened in shock "Stop it!" she summoned the power of the crystal and sent him a golden blast.
End of Flashback
"His name is…" Gaia said.
"You're awake" Eros said from the door.
Aurea stood up quickly from the bed and bowed "She just woke up Your Majesty"
"Good" he smiled "How are you feeling" he asked his wife.
"Not so tired anymore" she smiled.
"Do you need anything else Your Majesty?" Aurea asked.
"No Aurea, thank you very much" Gaia smiled.
The young maid left the room a few seconds later leaving the Eros and Gaia alone.
"You two seemed to be in a deep conversation" Eros said.
"After she saw that fight, I started to feel her distant, scared…and I felt bad, she has been more a friend to me than a maid" she said.
"Like Leonidas and me" Eros said while laid on the bed.
"Exactly" she smiled.
"That girl is special" Eros yawned.
Gaia half smiled and ran a hand through her husband's hair, Aurea made her think in him and her half smile fading away to be replaced by a sad expression.
"I hope you find peace…" she said softly.
Flashback
"I need you to help me…"
"In anything you want…"
"I want that crystal, it's mine"
"I know it's yours, everything is yours"
"Will you help me...Metallia?"
"Would you stay with me forever?"
"…Of course"
End of flashback
A pair of yellow eyes opened, they showed emotion and sadness, almost like they were about to cry.
"You said you were going to stay with me forever…" Metallia whispered.
A tear fell down her pale face, almost like if it was made of acid she quickly wiped it away with the back of her hand.
"You said you were going to stay with me forever!" she yelled this time, in a moment of rage she stood up and threw away all that could find in her bedroom; bottles, her vanity table, chairs until she reached for her hairbrush and threw it against the mirror in front of her breaking it into small pieces.
She fell to the ground with loud sobs.
"I destroyed her, took away her crown and still…you are not with me" she cried, her eyes staring the nothing.
Metallia stood up; drying her tears she walked to her window.
"It's time to bring you down, Queen Serenity"
"Poor little witch" a woman chuckled.
Metallia turned wide eyed at the voice. "How…?"
"Did I come on inside? Easy, you don't have the power of a goddess to form an energy barrier" the woman walked closer.
Metallia's gaze lowered.
"So, that is the main reason you wanted to destroy the Earth Goddess…" Neherenia said.
Metallia raised her face to see the queen of darkness in front of her.
"You felt love for him" Neherenia chuckled.
"I still don't understand something, why do you want to destroy the Moon Goddess?"
"Because she claims to be the only Queen of the Moon" Metallia said.
Neherenia turned. "We will see…maybe that will happen without any of us interfering"
"What do you mean?" Metallia asked.
"Serenity is finding difficult to get pregnant, I don't think her husband will stand the idea of ruling a kingdom with no heir" Neherenia said.
"She can't have a child, how do you know this?" Metallia asked amazed.
"You still don't get it, unlike you; I'm a Goddess of darkness. I can get any kind of information" Neherenia said.
"A kingdom with no heir…" Metallia said to herself.
"Queen Serenity" Luna said.
"Yes" Serenity turned.
"You have a visitor" the feline girl said.
"Who is it?" the queen asked.
"It's me, Serenity" a man entered the garden.
Serenity stood up "Chronos!"
The man walked in next to her, his dark attire and dark hair made contrast with the light surroundings.
"Please, sit" Serenity said.
Chronos sat on a chair next to the white queen "How are you?"
"I'm great" Serenity said, her expression showed confusion.
"I know you are forming an Alliance, but you haven't talked to me yet" Chronos said.
"I'm sorry…I thought Athan went to see you already" Serenity said.
"No…but its fine, I preferred to come and talk to you directly" Chronos said.
"It will be an honor if you joined the Alliance" the moon goddess commented.
Her face lowered showing sadness, Serenity sighed.
"Me too…" the god of time said.
Serenity raised her face in surprise. "You too what?"
"I wish she could join this new Alliance. Earth has always been a very strong and powerful planet"
"Do you think there could be any possibility?" she asked with hope in her soft voice.
"Serenity…" Chronos tried to reason with her.
"You, dear Chronos as one of the Higher Gods… do you think there is a chance for her to join this Alliance? Serenity asked; her clear lavender eyes showing emotion and hope, her hands were together as if she was praying for it to be possible.
"Dear flower, she is part of a new world now" Chronos said, taking one of Serenity's hands.
Serenity eyes started to shine with tears, one fell graciously from her cheek. "She's left unprotected…if Earth doesn't join this Alliance, they could be in danger…"
Chronos stared at the young woman in a sheer lavender dress "Serenity…you are worried of so many things…"
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"I know you are worried for Gaia, I know you are worried for your kingdom…and I know you're worried for not getting pregnant" Chronos said.
Serenity widened her eyes in shock "How…"
"Serenity…destiny is a funny thing, one day you have a slight idea of what might happen in your future but then…something comes and changes an entire life. Life changes with every breath we take." Chronos said.
"But I'm trying and Athan…" Serenity drifted off.
"Time is like the sea…there are things that fall into it and get lost in its immensity and there are others that come back to you. I will only say one thing; there are some things that need to happen first, you need to be patient" Chronos said.
"What do you mean?" Serenity asked confused.
Chronos smiled. "Gaia will be fine; she is no longer in danger"
"No longer in danger…I still don't understand" Serenity's confusion grew.
"She has a very special guardian, and soon will be born"
Serenity's eyes went wide in amazement "She's…"
"There is a reason for everything little flower…just give some time to time" he smiled.
"If she's expecting a child, she will be in more danger…they'll want to kill that child" Serenity said.
"What will challenge our world is soon going to be born. Do not worry"
