I close my eyes, allowing the warmth of my room to embrace me. I was stressed, I AM stressed, this world was falling apart and I’m running out of time to save it. My thoughts ran rampt, someone's arms wrap around my waist, resting their head on my shoulder,
“Cybele, you’re doing an awful job keeping Novus safe you do realize that right?” I sigh, tilting my head pink dreads fall in front of my face, a smirk grows against the beautiful woman’s face, my head shakes,
“She’s reckless Aphrodite, I can’t stop her from doing what she wants.” She gently moves her wonderful hair out of my face, cupping my face with her warm hands, her mouth opens delicately,
“Do you think Genitor would be pleased? 247 times you’ve failed, you were so close last time too.” Genitor, the Creator of All, dead. Only for his name to be tossed around as if he was just a human. Younger Gods never knew him, but I did, he entrusted me with this, Aphrodite can’t just spat his name out,
“Don’t talk about The Father as if he is an object of manipulation, he is dead, the Spatium Creatura were reincarnated, I was put in charge of all of you.” she giggles, her shoulders moved up and down each time,
“And I was put in charge of creating the image of Crystillians, his favorite race. So why is it you’re letting his people die.”
“I am not! It is the Unspoken who are causing this! They’re just upset over what we’ve done!” I shouted at her, but she didn’t flinch,
“You mean what you’ve done. The Crystillians worshipped you all those years ago and it scared you. That’s the reason you did what you did, that’s the reason why every couple generations pain is created.” It wasn’t my fault, it never was my fault!
“Aphrodite, why are you here. If it is to mock me then I will kindly ask you to leave.” She scoffs grabbing my hand,
“I’m here to help obviously, I’m tired of hearing how good you’re living. You’re in a human form how good could your life be, I want to help. I want to be in a human form too.” Her eyes sparkle a bright pink, I look away,
“If I start to accommodate to Gods wants, then everyone will start to be here.” She lightly touches my cheek until our eyes meet,
“It just me Bele.” She pouts,
I pull away from her control, “That’s exactly the problem. It’s you, can you control yourself around Crystillians.”
Aphrodite squeals, “They’re so cute can you blame me? When you’re the Goddess of Love how can anyone resist me?”
“What would you do if I let you stay here, how would Novus benefit from you helping her.” Aphrodite huffs walking towards me,
“I would help her love life obviously. She needs it just being dumped and all.”
I shake my head, “Novus wasn’t dumped, she broke up with him.”
Her hair seemed to jump up, her face turned deep red, “What?! You mean to tell me the perfect man was dumped? What about her Soulmate?” Aphrodite was clueless, clueless of everything,
“She doesn’t like the ideas of Soulmates. Liam is just a friend that betrayed her.”
She crosses her arms, “You’re kidding! She’s having a tough time in this reset and she has no one to be with either?” Did she really have no one? All the pupils, all the followers and yet she’s still alone. No, that wasn’t true,
“Actually, there may be someone that she likes right now.”
Her eyes light up, “Someone I didn’t put in her path?”
“Do you know Yanamarie?” Her smile fades, “The young girl that works for the Unspoken Complex.”
“She was Genitor’s favorite creation. She was the last creation he made before the illness fell. Why would Novus be interested in someone that is her enemy?”
Clueless, “Who is Novus’ mother?”
She pauses, “Eden Hope, she married Aaron Hope they’re so cute. I remember when I made- wait, I didn’t..Eden isn’t organic.”
“No, she is. She’s made from DNA that Yanamarie stole from her Soulmate.”
“Eden, is a puppet? Which means, Novus is Yanamarie’s Soulmate?”
“That is exactly what it means.” Silence, her eyes were no longer bright, she lets go of my hand,
“Look, Bele, I want to help Novus, but this isn’t for my amusement anymore. I want to investigate, for Father.” Disgusting, she never even knew him,
“You can’t pull The Father card and expect me to comply with your wishes.”
“This isn’t a wish anymore. This involves me, because I created Soulmates, and I don’t want someone messing with my pride and joy.” Determination, it was something I hadn’t seen in a God's eyes for centuries,
“Do you have a name, an identity that you want to take up while being here?”
“Oh my god yes, this is like my dream come true I can finally have a Humansona, I’m going to be so pretty! So, my name is Hathor, I don’t have my antlers, my hair is half pink half black.”
“You’re going too far into this.”
She huffs, puffing out her cheeks, “I am not! You get to have fun, why can’t I?!”
“Aphrodite this isn’t for fun, this is serious work that I was trusted with, you had your job too, you just got carried away and supplied enough creations for everyone on Crystillia to have at least 10 children.” she giggles, before taking a deep breath
“Then please, just let me help. I’m not bored, I’m actually interested in these mortals.”
“Do you even know what’s going on with Novus currently?”
“No,” Aphrodite twiddles her thumbs, sucking in a breath, holding something back. She knew something that I didn’t, “I mean, maybe.”
“Novus became a Watcher of Time, and so did Liam, they share the powers that only one should have. They’re not waking up.”
“But that’s not,” she pauses, contemplating on what she should say until she mumbles, “that’s not what I saw.”
“If you saw something, it might help them.”
“I saw, I saw Novus crying on Liam’s shoulder. Their eyes didn’t glow, but they were holding hands. His eyes showed a deep fear, he didn’t say a word to her, but held Novus tightly,” she halts, her eyes glowing trying to find the pair, “It’s an empty room, dark, cold, a prison.”
“I think we should tell the Pure Lights.”
“Do you think they’re in the mental state for us to tell them? How do you think they are right now.”
