Hell On The Heart, Part I
I’m a fool for thinking I can come here and what—admit my feelings to her? I must be crazy.

I had only used an eighth of my shadows, a part of me now would always be here, watching over her. At least I could take comfort in that.
Maybe I’ll come visit her while she’s down here. Wait – what? Am I admitting I wouldn’t mind spending more time with her?
“I am Erebus, Primordial God of Darkness and Shadows. I have more power in my little pinky than you will ever have.”
“Then I guess you have no problem going before Zeus,” he spoke matter of factly. “Zeus can’t kiss my ass,” I spat.
“So you admit it then? You let those two out. What about the rest of the Titans? Did you release them, too?”
“Shut up.” “Make me.” That was all I said before I slammed my lips onto his.
“I’m the Primordial of Darkness, Atë. The shadows belong to me, and now so do you.”
“I mean, Zeus couldn’t be happier; Erebus After Dark rakes in a ton of money. You have your own brand, clothing line, vodka…but all that came at a price.”
“A lot has changed since then. Erebus isn’t the man we once knew. I guess he’d much prefer to be by himself then to visit with family.”
She takes all the credit, you know. Is it too much to ask to maybe share the power and glory once in awhile?
“Without seeing what has been, what is and what may come, you will never know true happiness.”
I didn’t even have to answer and the conversation would repeat as it had months before when I was trapped in the dream realm.
Oh yeah, I lied. I didn’t really want people knowing that the God of Darkness and Shadows was on a Tinder date.
Just put a little into whatever it is Melinoë is drinking and voila! Let the fun begin.
