Chapter 14- Empurity

"I'm not used to seeing anything so brightly." Kronos shielded his eyes as we walked towards the shining golden mansion.

"I am not either. We're almost there though." I squinted my eyes looking slightly down to make sure I didn't trip over anything I couldn't see. Finally reaching the door, the light seemed brighter then the sun itself. I knocked on the door loudly until it opened. I only knew it was the door from feeling alone.

"Kronos?" I heard his voice grow curious in the single name he called.

"Hello Helios. Mind if you turned down the brightness?" I kept my eyes closed still seeing the brightness shining.

"Oh yes. Here, place these on your eyes these." He grabbed my hand and placed two small rings in my hand. I took one in each hand and placed them on my closed eye. Seeing the brightness dim I opened my eyes and the rings fused with my eyeballs. It did not cause any pain but it made me jump from the shock.

"Do not worry. They're to just help you see even with how bright it is here." He smiled at me.

I blinked my eyes a few times and smiled when I finally got a good look at him. Unlike most of the gods he had no beard and his hair was short and black. His eyes were bright gold with a purple pupil and outer rims. Even with the rings in my eyes he still had a yellow golden aura circling his head almost as if he himself was the sun as he walked.

"Elea, how are you?" He smiled warmly and leaned in trapping me in a large and heavy hug.

"I'm good. How have you been Helios?" I smiled returning his hug. He was large like Kronos but his hug made me realize how large he actually was. I felt like a child standing next to a tree that was taller then a building.

"I've been better. Come on in. I haven't had visitors in years." He let me go and led us inside.

"We're actually here on buisness Helios." Kronos dropped his smile and looked directly at Helios.

"What can I help with?" Helios dropped his smile clenching his jaw showing his jawline in more detail.

"I think Elea should be the one to tell you." Kronos patted my shoulder and pushed me forward.

"Oh uh... it's more of a favor... a big one at that..." I bit my lip and fiddled with my fingers. I didn't want to bother him, he was always kind to me in the past and I didn't want to take him away from his life or his work.

"What is it hun?" He smiled reassuringly.

"Well... let me explain a little first..." I took a deep breath and began explaining in detail everything that had happened in my life that led me here.

"So now I need your help to run this new world because you have the power over vampires since you basically are the sun and I know it's a lot to ask so I want to give you time to think about it but we are in a bit of a rush because Zeus is going to speak with Gaia right now about creating the new world." I took a deep breath catching my breath from speaking mainly in one breath.

"I-is she allowing her mortal nature control her personality?" Helios chuckled while he looked to Cronus.

"Shes been fighting it ever since Apollo brought her back but yes. She is." Kronos smirked sharing a chuckle.

"Excuse me?" I panted.

"Elea. You don't need to act nervous when you're asking me for help. I'll gladly help you and rule this new vampire world with you. What will it be called?" He smiled as he leaned against the wall.

"Oh uh. I'm not sure." I scratched my head.

"Well, it will essentially be your world so what shall you call it?" He crossed his arms leaving the smirk remaining on his face. I thought for a minute before sharing the smirk.
