The Maker's Undoing

Chapter 10: Sa Susunod na Habang Buhay (In the next Lifetime)

A/N:

Update! Finally...

I am so sorry for the long hiatus... But I'm back and that is what matters.

I was actually considering scrapping the whole book thinking the story is not that good or that I am doing a bad job at writing. Thank you for catherineCooke6. Your comment pushed me through finishing this chapter that was stuck in my Word document for months. 

To those of you who are still reading, thank you. I appreciate it very much. 

Take care all of you... I will do my best on my end. 

I hope you find this update nice enough. <3

Summary:

My love's life let grow as my soul takes flight. 

Even in death, my heart longs for you.

And in my rebirth, there is only you.

Warning: 

Talks of OD and Self-harm.

"Rhea has finally woken up, thank the gods! I thought I'd never see my darling girl ever again. Do you reckon that it's time for me to visit my children?"

"Your 4 — treacherous children?"

Zeus exhaled noisily. The mere thought that his children were now against him stirred anger in his being.

"They are NOT treacherous! I refuse to believe Rhea has lost all her respect for me, Athena is wiser beyond comprehension, Apollo finally gets the facts straight after eons of his oracles trying to make him see what is about to happen, and Ares is not dumb enough to start another coup!"

Hera laughed mirthlessly at how blind her husband can be. She refuses to believe that Rhea has nothing planned, and that cursed offspring has more than enough power at her disposal to rid them all.

She's just waiting for the opportune moment to use her powers. She hasn't caused any problems as of late, in fact, she never caused problems to begin with. Always the obedient and docile daughter to the mighty Zeus. Never giving her husband any reason to doubt her.

That is the only reason why Rhea has proven to be hard to kill. If she can even be killed. Zeus even in his unforgiving nature thinks it wise to keep her alive. Saying she doesn't pose a threat. Only time will tell.

"Your naivety is humbling. Someone so powerful... can also be capable of being dumb and dumber."

Hera jumped on her seat when Zeus slammed his fists on the window's ledge. The atmosphere was electrifying as his emotions got the better of him. The lights flicker as they become charged up and ultimately shatter not able to withstand the raw power of the mighty Zeus himself.

"Show that to her, maybe she'll get the idea to do what was destined. I swear your decision to be caring toward that cursed offspring is enough to make me gag ichor. You're never like that to your children. Or should I say, never like that to the children we made?"

"Don't make this about you!"

"It was never about me! I never had a say in this marriage! It's always, you, you, you... Never Hera, Hera, Hera!"

"Because you do so much on your own it's so infuriating!"

"And YOU gallantly fucking anything that resembles a vagina is so... not infuriating at all!"
