Chapter 16

"One more." I laughed as I wrapped my arms around Astraios neck.

"Get off of me." He scoffed trying to push me off.

"Give me a hug and I will." I laughed. He rolled his eyes and held his hands on the small of my back giving me a light hug.

"My mothers right tho. Your heart is warm and pure. Don't let anyone take that away from you." His words sent chills down my spine along with a spark in my chest. I squeezed my arms around his neck once more. His grip on me tightened and he held his head close to me. He didn't want to let me go, I could feel it in our hug. Hearing Gaias gasp I let go and stepped back. Astraios almost seemed disappointed.

"You're all more then welcome to come visit." I tried to break the silence.

"Oh uh. I'll take care of Nyx and Erebus for you. You won't be hearing from them unless they just want to visit." Gaia said as she looked back and forth between Astraios and I.

"Don't forget when you break the news to all the creatures, to break it lightly!" Zeus shouted.

"Thank you. I'll see you guys later." I got up on Helios chariot and waved goodbye. They stood together and waved goodbye as we took off to our new home. Kind of new home.

---Narrators POV---

Zeus and Kronos had left along with Gaia and Astraios back to there homes. Kronos to Elysium and Gaia and Astraios towards Olympus to their homes above.

"What did I see there?" Gaia asked Astraios impatient as can be.

"See what mother?" Astraios sighed. He was nervous but he showed no signs.

"You and Elea. You two had a connection!" Gaia jumped with glee.

"Mother, her heart belongs to someone else. Can we move on?" He hid his smirk from his mother as he knew the reality of the situation.

"You cannot ignore that Astraios. I know what I see in you when I speak her name." Gaias glee was overflowing as Astraios annoyance was becoming draining.

"Mother, please. I'm tired after creating another world. I'd like to just go to bed." He sighed.

"Fine. Go home and get some rest. I'll be back within a few days and see how you're feeling since I know it can be draining to create mimics." She kissed his forehead and waved goodbye as she walked alone to her own home.

Astraios sighed in relief as he walked home and locked the door behind him. He looked in his mirror and smiled as he snapped his fingers and transformed into his human form.

"I'll see you soon Rae." He smiled as his heart fluttered.

---Renaes POV---

"How much longer till we reach the mountain?" I asked impatiently as I looked over trying to see past the shining horses.

"Can you relax woman? Just two more minutes." Helios laughed as we began descending. I held onto Helios arm as he guided the horses and chariot to a swift landing on the hilltop. I looked and saw Eros and Adam slouched over holding onto their heads. They seemed dizzy and sick. I stepped off the chariot along with Helios. Helios snapped his fingers and I watched the chariots shine vanish leaving the white horses and white chariot.

"Adam?" I asked as I slowly walked towards him. He stood up stumbling and turned to me.

"Rae?" His eyes filled with tears. He attempted to run towards me still stumbling on his dizziness. I ran to his arms and held onto him tightly.

"I'm so happy." I sighed as I felt his arms around me. His head tucked into my shoulder he didn't hold back any tears and broke down dropping to his knees and crying into my chest.
