One Last Time
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.
So here we are, bowing down to Zeus, doing his stupid “Outreach to the Mortals bit”; like we are apart of some bad reality show. I mean, why should I have to listen to him, why should any of us? It’s not like he was one of the primeval deities or anything. Who was — oh, right me. Erebus. Born from the deep void of Chaos, the primordial of shadows and darkness…
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.
“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 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.
She still thought this was a game, like I was her plaything to be toyed with. She clearly didn’t know what I was capable of.
Furthermore, this goes beyond the last three months. I don’t feel the same as I used to for you. I need something new, and it cannot be you.”
With all the festivals I’ve been playing lately, I haven’t had time for my children or Nyx. Maybe Morpheus is acting out? Maybe he’s bored with mortals?
