Rhea’s POV
“What is your master planning to do on Samhain?” I asked once more when the demon hesitated to answer. This thing was seriously getting on my nerves!
“To open the Gates!” the demon screeched.
I frowned, trying to understand what the demon was speaking about. Gates? Did it mean the Gates between the Earth and the Otherworld? But Adrian already told me that the Gates between the Earth and the Otherworld would open on the eve of Samhain every year. It didn’t have anything to do with Samael as far as I knew. This was so confusing!
“What Gates?” Adrian asked.
The demon ignored his question and continued staring at me with rapt attention. Adrian growled at it and the sound was so animalistic and terrifying to say the least. But the demon didn’t even bother to spare a glance at him. Oh, the nerve of that stupid creature!
“Answer him!&rd
Rhea’s POVI looked at Mercy with confusion as she stared into space with a thoughtful look.“I am not sure, but I think it was because of your energy caging the demon. When the demon was pulled into the Gate, the binding was also pulled in. I think the Gate recognised the energy as a part of you and tried to pull you in too,” she said.Her words made sense, but it was painting the Gate as a sentient being. I shuddered as I remembered the Gate getting closed. Now that I think of it, it sounded pissed off when it couldn’t get me…“It was my fault! While doing summoning and banishments, we have to draw a circle of salt to keep the evil inside it. I didn’t put up a ward or the salt circle because your cage was so powerful and I was confident that the demon couldn’t escape from it. I never considered the possibility that without the ward, you may be pulled in because of the
Rhea’s POVI drew back from Adrian and stared at the direction from which the energy was coming. I had the feeling that the energy was emanating from the living room, the regular spot of appearance of Artemis.I glanced at Adrian, who nodded at me. Both of us padded back to the living room just in time for the figures to appear in front of us.I stood there for a moment studying the newcomers trying to decide if they were friends or foes. That was until I found a familiar face smiling at me… Morpheus, the God of dreams who had visited me in my dream a few days ago. And I realised what was happening. The Olympian Gods had finally paid me a visit…I smiled at them cheerfully, even though my mind was in a turmoil. They were my friends and family even though I didn’t remember them and I was seeing them for the first time. What will they think of me, Rhea? Would they see me as someone inferio
Rhea’s POVThe Gods looked taken aback at my sudden question. What? I knew that they didn’t come here for idle chitchat. Then why waste time acting as if it was just a friendly visit?I looked at Persephone, and Athena who looked hurt at my question. I had to admit that they looked genuinely happy to see me and didn’t seem to have any ulterior motives for visiting me. But I couldn’t say the same for the other Gods, not even my mother Nyx…It was Apollo who answered me.“As blunt as ever. I thought that losing your memories would have changed you and made you more mellow. But you seem as sharp as ever,” he remarked.I bared my teeth at him in the semblance of a smile. You have no idea, buddy…He actually flinched a little at the expression on my face and I wondered if I looked that scary. Then I wracked my brain trying to remember if I had ever read about any interaction
Rhea's POVMnemosyne gave me a small nod in acknowledgement. As she walked towards me, I tensed and thoughts flashed through my mind… The night I woke up without memories, how Sara and the others became my family, how I got Morris and finally, Adrian... Will I love them the same
Rhea's POVI stared at Mnemosyne and waited for her to answer. Even though the pain had subsided a little, I was still feeling a bit nauseous. Seeing her condition, I knew that even she was not expecting it to turn out like this. Still, she was the only one who could tell what happened because I was drawing a blank trying to figure it out on my own. One momen
Rhea's POV"Which memory do you want to get back?" Mnemosyne asked me with a curious look.
Rhea's POV(*Memory of Nemesis continues...*)
Rhea's POVI opened my eyes slowly, and as expected, I was back in Adrian's house. When my past self lost consciousness, I automatically shifted to the present time without needing to anchor myself back here.
(TWENTY-FIVE YEARS LATER…) Rhea’s POV
Rhea’s POV(Two weeks later…)
Rhea’s POVWhen celebrations raged around us, Adrian and I held our own celebration by hugging each other with tears in our eyes.
Rhea’s POVI raised my hands to call my power. Samael looked at me arrogantly, not paying any heed to my words.
Rhea’s POV “Just the Goddess I was waiting for,” Samael said with glee.
Rhea’s POV I stood in the middle of the battleground with the Titans and the demon army led by Samael on one side. On my other side stood the Olympian Gods led by the mighty Zeus himself.
Rhea’s POV I looked at Adrian and I suddenly felt scared. So scared… Tomorrow, we were going to fight in the war with Titans and demons. There was no guarantee that I would be coming back alive. Suddenly I felt as if I was the biggest fool for letting my insecurities come between me a
Rhea’s POV I sat in my room trying to find what exactly I was feeling. My thoughts were a jumbled mess right now, and thoughts flashed in my mind with a speed that I couldn’t process. Was I angry that he hid his identity? A little… Was I sad that he had to go through everything alone
Adrian’s POV Rhea was staring at me with an expectant expression, and I thought of where to start. I decided that I had to start from the very beginning of my existence.
