"Where are we going to live now and raise our baby little Dea?" he asked softly in her ear.

Gaia looked up at him and smiled "In the land of dreams… Elysion"

Divinity: Chapter fifty six

In the center of the new shrine was a big garden full of roses of every existing color, stone benches near the fountain in the back. After they talked to the crowd, Gaia and Eros were with the court of the four kingdoms.

"What is going to happen next?" King Bernard asked.

"We will fulfill our promise of a better place to live, creating an Alliance and a new Kingdom" Gaia responded.

"A new kingdom…" Queen Narella said.

Gaia turned to look at her mother in law "Yes…our new palace awaits us at the heart of Earth, in a place where we can live at peace and where we can raise our child. A land of dreams called Elysion"

"A new palace, where is it? Where is the heart of Earth?" King Odell asked amazed.

"A couple of hours from here, where the four kingdoms meet" Gaia said.

A man with a blond child in his arms caught Gaia's eye while she was telling the court about the new alliance.

"The court of the four kingdoms will be one to this new kingdom" Eros said.

"Does this new kingdom have a name?" King Urmanus asked.

"Yes, The Golden Kingdom" Gaia said.

"We are now at your service Your Majesties" King Bernard said bowing his head.

"Bernard…you are still king of your land…but we will consult everything to one another, the heart of every matter will be at our palace which will be open for you every time you want" Eros said.

Gaia turned to look at Obelix and smiled "My dear friend, could you bless this new beginning?"

Obelix nodded "Under the blessing of our Higher Gods, your protection and the faith of our people, I'll pronounce this, our new Kingdom. The Golden Kingdom"

"I need to go…"

"But you are so happy here…with me…"

"Happy?"

"Yes…"

"What have you been doing to me?"

Neherenia's red lips curved up in a devishly smile "I haven't done anything dear…you, coming here was your own choice"

Athan was lying down on the black queen's bed, his eyes were staring at the nothing, he felt like he was sedated somehow, he knew he loved Serenity but he didn't understand how he could end up in Neherenia's bed.

Her hand caressed his face "How can you care for a being that cannot bear a child?"

"I love her…"

Neherenia laughed "Please… don't be an idiot, how can you love an empty goddess?"

Athan's empty eyes widened and like if he was brought back from the trance he felt in and sat on the bed.

"I love her…" he mouthered.

"What?" Neherenia sat quickly "This cannot be, he cannot break the spell I cast on him" she thought.

"Serenity…" Athan stood up and turned to look at Neherenia "You…you will never be like her"

"How dare you…" Neherenia said lowly.

"I must go to her…what have I done?" Athan stood up and walked towards the palace's exit leaving a very upset black queen.

"Do you think you can escape dear King?...No one can escape my beauty and magic…someday you'll be mine, once I kill that wife of yours…" Neherenia said in the dark, her fisted hands trembled against the bed.

"No one…" she stood up and went after Athan.

Athan walked towards the black palace's exit when a dark shadow stopped him in his tracks. He tried to look at his surroundings finding nothing, a few seconds later he heard Neherenia's laugh. Appearing in front of him, her cold hand grabbed his jaw tightly and made him look into her catlike eyes.

She chuckled "Ah, dear Athan…you are king, but, you are nothing but a simple warrior from Andromeda, nothing else…it's a miracle that Selene actually chose you to be her daughter's husband"

Athan tried to free her strong grip "Leave us alone!"

"I will, when I see Serenity break like a piece of glass. Once that happens…you'll die in the river of the forgotten…you are someone just because you are married to a very powerful queen, but other than that you are a weak being…so weak I can do with you whatever I want with you"

"I won't let you" Athan said.

"No?... but I already did" Neherenia laughed.

Athan made the mistake of looking into her eyes, and in a blink of an eye she had him in the palm of her hand once again.

"Told you so…" Neherenia laughed.

Serenity was sitting on the rail of her balcony, her white gown glistened in the light the stars shared, her lavender eyes stared at the blue planet hanging in the sky, but she wasn't admiring the beauty of anything this time, she was waiting for her husband to come home, so many things have changed in the past year, she needed her mother, her friend, the love of her life and none of them where there for very different reasons.

Luna was becoming her confident, but still she needed her husband to be there by her side. Even the mortal king was always there for Gaia when she needed him. "The mortal" she thought.

Even though he was a human, a person who had his time measured and limited, he fought for her since he laid eyes on Gaia. After everybody found out about her, he was there; she is now even expecting a child.

"The child…" she said softly looking at the blue planet "That child is a miracle…"

She stayed there in silence thinking about her life, her parents, her training to be queen and how she wasn't trained to be a warrior like her friend. Queen Selene had other ideals for her, to be educated, regal, very lady like, elegant and refined. The beautiful Goddess of the Moon, a silver doll made of the most delicate porcelain, like a diamond. She was starting to wonder if that is what was disintegrating her marriage with Athan.

Like if she invoked him, Athan entered their chambers very tired. His blonde hair was disheveled and he had dark circled under his blue eyes. He spotted her on the balcony and walked to her.

"What are you doing up this late?" he asked.

Serenity turned to look at him surprised "Late? I wasn't expecting you this early…"

"What are you doing?" he asked again.

"Nothing" she responded.

"Where you waiting for me to come home?" Athan asked.

Serenity smiled and stood up, coming closer to him she patted his shoulder "No dear, I stopped doing that a long time ago…" she walked back to the room leaving a very astonished king outside.

"Because you think I'm a nobody right!" he yelled at her from outside.

"What?" Serenity turned to look at him.

Athan walked back to their chambers and stood in front of her "I'm just a soldier to you…a nobody from Andromeda!"

"Are you drunk? Are you even listening to what you are saying?" Serenity said.

"Just because you are a Goddess doesn't mean I can't rule this kingdom too!" he said.

"I don't need to hear this nonsense of yours" she said again.

"Now I'm saying nonsense"

"Yes! You don't even know what you're saying!" she raised her voice in frustration "Why are you telling me all this?"

"Because you think I'm just a simple being, a spirit…"

"Athan…"

"You are cold towards me; you go to our meetings alone! You think you can do everything alone!"

Serenity's eyes widened in shock "But of course I can do everything alone, and I do it because I'm very capable and do you know why else? because my husband is always away, he's always distant, he's never here! It would be much easier for you to just tell me with who are you sleeping"

Athan stared at her in shock "What?"

Serenity's eyes started to get blurry with tears "Don't hide it anymore Athan, I know you are having an affair!" she yelled in frustration.

Something inside Athan broke, he felt cold and uncertain. The love of his life was crying in front of him, asking him to confess his affair and yet couldn't move.

He lowered his gaze "I don't have an affair Serenity"

"Don't lie to me! Don't lie to me anymore!" she said again frustrated, she turned to leave but Athan grabbed her from her right wrist making her stop in her tracks.

"Who is poisoning your thoughts against me?" Athan said.

Serenity gave a sarcastic laugh "Please Athan, don't make a fool of yourself anymore. I'm not stupid, you come home at very late hours, you always have something to do that seems to be more important than this kingdom matters or even myself…"

"You don't know anything!" Athan raised his voice.

"I know more than you can imagine!" Serenity yelled at him "I cried entire nights wondering what I was doing wrong; blaming myself for not making you happy…I had enough"

"Serenity…" Athan said.

"Do whatever you please, but you will leave me alone" Serenity broke free from his grasp and left him alone in the room.

The three kings left to their respective kingdoms to inform the news and then prepare for the terran alliance, Eros and Gaia were standing in the now northern palace's remains now turned into a shrine, Gaia was still amazed by the flowers, candles and gifts the people left for them. She sighed in relief but then remembered the man she saw moments ago with a blond child in his arms.

Eros came closer to his wife "I'll go check the rest of the palace and see what we can take with us"

Gaia smiled and nodded at him, Eros went inside the shrine with his parents and Leonidas following leaving the terran queen with her personal maid.

"I can't believe this is happening…" Aurea said softly.

Gaia smiled and turned to see Aurea "Me either… Metallia is finally in a place where she can't harm anybody anymore"

Aurea turned to see Gaia "Where is she?

"In a very deep place…we will finally live in peace" Gaia smiled and then frowned a little bit "Aurea?"

"Yes?" Aurea responded.

"Do you know the generals?"

"Not all of them, why?"

Gaia started to walk back to the now shrine with Aurea by her side "Because I saw a man with a child on his arms and he was wearing a uniform"

"A newborn?" Aurea asked.

"Yes!" Gaia said excitedly.

"He's not a general; he is the man who takes care of the stable. His name is Admes, poor man…his wife passed away when she gave birth to their only son" Aurea said sadly.

"Oh no…" Gaia gasped.

"Why do you ask?" Aurea said.

"Because I had that feeling again, another stone responded. Do you know where I can find him?" Gaia said.

"Well, at the stables, if we still have stables…this place is completely different now" Aurea said.

Like if they invoked the man in question, he passed by with the small child in his arms. Aurea turned to look at Gaia and smiled.

"Admes!" she called out.

The man turned to look at Aurea and nodded "I'm glad to see you Aurea" when he saw Gaia he lowered his head in a respectful manner "Your Majesty"

"I've been looking for you Admes…you and your child" Gaia smiled.

The dark haired man's eyes widened in surprise "I don't understand"

Gaia lowered her gaze and smiled at the baby in his arms "What is his name?"

Admes's immediately changed from wonder to sadness "I don't know yet Your Majesty…my wife…" he trailed off, his voice sounded deeply sad.

"I know Admes…and I'm deeply sorry…but…" Gaia looked for her red pouch and took a green stone and smiled at him.

"This stone is called Nephrite. My father gave this stone to me when I was very young, he said it was the stone of guideness and perception and that would always be there to help me find the right path"

"Your Majesty…" Admes said in amazement.

"I want to give you this stone for your child, to protect him and guide him and when the time is right to protect others including you" Gaia said softly and put the stone inside the baby's light green blanket.

The man smiled and looked at his queen with teary eyes "How can I ever thank you for what you did?"

"No…I'm the one who needs to thank you Admes…for believing in me. You don't need to thank me anything"

Admes nodded his head deeply "We will always be at your service, Your Majesty"

Gaia smiled and nodded. The man left the queen and her silent maid behind seconds later.

"Why are you giving those stones away?" Aurea asked.

"I'm not giving them away Aurea, they are asking me to take them to their new owners..." Gaia said.

"New owners? What are they going to own?" Aurea asked.

"Their energy and protection" Gaia said.

"Why not choosing people from the court?" Aurea said confused.

"Because I'm not the one choosing them…" Gaia chuckled.

"Then who?" Aurea asked.

Gaia looked at her belly "Must be my baby…"
