Inevitable destiny

Finally, after searching for months, I had found my wife. Those idiots did their best to hide her but it wasn't enough. I had to get to her somehow and of course I was going to. After Zeus cast me out I was condemned to live in solitude but thanks to that human, I would no longer be alone.

I noticed a deep sadness in her eyes and she seemed to feel just as lonely as I did. It was clear that we were destined to be together. We both wanted companionship and we were going to have it.

I found her home and posed as a young man looking for work. The owner of the ranch was hesitant for a second but seeing that I appeared to be someone with a lot of education, he hired me.

He introduced me to his family and offered me a room to stay while I worked there. Celeste was in awe of me and always came to keep me company while I was doing chores.

I watched her for a while and realized that she loved nature. She was simple, enjoyed the little things, loved animals, was noble and empathetic. Very different from the goddesses I was used to dealing with.

The more I got to know her, the better I liked her, I loved her sense of humor, her sympathy and her energy. I made no mistake in choosing her as my fiancée, it didn't matter if she refused because in this world we gods were in charge and everything we said had to be fulfilled.

I waited a few days and then I started with my plan to capture her. I got into her dreams and generated false memories in her mind.

She started telling me about our times together and apologized for forgetting about me.

-I can't believe I forgot you, I don't know what's on my mind.

-Don't worry, it happens.

-I don't know why I didn't recognize you, ¿why didn't you tell me it was you?

-I was waiting for you to remember and you did.

-I feel weird seeing you after what happened between us.

-You don't have to feel that way, believe it or not I could never get over our separation.

-¿Really?

-I never stopped loving you.

I approached her and tried to kiss her but she turned her face away.

-What's the matter, don't you feel anything for me anymore?

-I don't know, it's been a long time and I hardly remember you.

-Did you meet someone else?

-No, you were the only one I was with.

-Then you have nothing to think about.

I made him look me in the eyes and he stared into my eyes -I came here only for you, because I love you and I could never forget you.

-I...

-What do you want me to say?

-What do you want me to say?

-Say that you love me, that you still feel the same and that you want to be by my side.

I was about to kiss her when I heard her father's voice and I pulled away. She reacted again and went to her father's call.

As long as those filthy peasants took care of her, I would not be able to get close to her. Only in my dreams would I be able to take her with me.

After the talk I had with my mother, I was able to have more freedom. My father hired a young man I had met in town and I liked him very much. We became good friends and talked almost every day.

I liked having someone my own age to keep me company because the area where I lived was very boring and nothing interesting ever happened, but since his arrival on the farm. Strange things started happening around me.

I started to feel watched, in my room, in the field or in any corner of the house, I felt that someone was watching me. I checked every part of the house but found nothing out of the ordinary.

I told my parents about it and they increased the security of the house, hired caretakers to watch the surroundings and that reassured me, but I continued to feel that I was being watched.

One night, I dreamt that I was in a place similar to heaven, there were clouds surrounding me and in the distance I heard a man's voice.

-Finally we see each other Celeste.

A booming voice came, I looked around but saw no one.

-¿Who are you?

-Who I am is not important, what really matters is that I found you and that we can finally be together forever.

-Tell me who you are, show yourself right now.

-Are you also anxious for us to meet, patience, ¿all in good time?

A gust of wind blew through me and a shiver ran through my body. The gust went through me again and again and a strange sensation took over my body. I ran without knowing why and the gust followed me as the same voice repeated "Don't run" over and over again.

I woke up with a jolt, breathing heavily, I felt a pressure in my chest, in the same place where the creature pierced me.

The next night, I dreamt that I was in the same place but the creature was no longer disembodied. It was now humanoid in form. I could not identify its appearance but I could tell it was human.

-Hello again my love.

-I am not your love, who are you?

-Patience, you will soon find out.

It pounced on me and for a moment I felt my breath go out of me. I ran away and the creature followed me while repeating "come with me" over and over again. Until I woke up with difficulty breathing.

The next night, I could see its body but not its face. It was in the shape of a winged man and an immense darkness covered its face.

-What are you, what do you want from me?

-I want you.

I was about to run but something stopped me. An invisible force paralyzed me and a gust of wind pushed me towards him.
