When they arrived home, they were noticed that the guest came five minutes earlier than them and was with Helia already. They went to find them and when they arrived and Mira saw who the guest was, he felt his whole world shaking.
Yes, it was that man again, the one at the park. '' Welcome to you, your highness and please accept my apologies, i had something important to do.''. Mira was in shock, his dad normally only pays that kind of respect to gods, meaning that this man was probably one too and in the park he.... '' Mira dear, don't just stand there and greet our guest, will you ?''. * What after what happened in the park !? There is no way i am doing that*. '' Please do not worry about that Mrs Miles, i'm already used to this attitude of his'', said the guest. * What...?*, Estevan and Helia both looked at their son with eyes which seemed like asking '' What did you do again ?''
Helia already knew whatever her son did was bad news so she just proceed to introduce him. '' Mira, this is his highness Eirine, god of peace among humans. He is here-'' '' What god ! That dude doesn't look older than me from two years ! And what kind peace is an a**hole like him taking care of !?". " What...?", Estevan was utterly shocked by what he just heard while Helia was at the point of fainting, why was he suddenly acting like that when he usually never speaks while there are guests.
"Pfft", Eirine just let out a slight laugh which left everyone stunned. '' Your highness please forgive my son, he wasn't thinking straight'', Estevan said, while Helia added " Yes that's right, he's usually not like this, and i'm sure he didn't mean it like that". Mira absolutely hated it when his parents had to apologise, this was resulting from a childhood experience. He was nine at the time and was playing with his mother outdoor, he bumped into a goddess. This one snapped at him and was about to slap him when his mother intervened and stopped her right before she did it. "Why kind of education did you give to that brat !?", asked the lady in a state of anger. She then looked at her face and recognised who she was. She didn't recognised her as a brand owner but as the woman who stoled the man of her life's heart. Yes, that goddess was infact one of the gods and goddesses who fell in love with Estevan and wanted him for theirselves but couldn't because their union was blessed by both the god Eirine and his lover, the god of water. And now there she was, having the audacity to stand before her and with her crush's child. '' I sincerely apologise to you, he's just another kid who was doing but playing". That goddess didn't contain herself, and slapped before an innocent child eyes the person who gave birth to him and as if it wasn't enough, she asked to bring Estevan for a formal apology not without his son. Helia had the protection of one of the most powerful of them gods but restrained herself because of Mira and so did her husband, even tho he was absolutely furious for the mark on her cheek. They did it to set a good exemple for their son, and assured him everything was fine, but a child witnessing his mother being slapped and his father kneeling down to someone while that person had the audacity to put their legs on him will of course be scarred for life.
Witnessing them doing that again and again being the reason for it made Mira hate himself even more. " Please don't apologise to me, i don't mind it". *What ? What's with him ?*, Mira thought to himself. Estevan and Helia were really relieved. From what happened in the park and in the past he didn't except that reaction at all. Eirine eyed Mira, slightly smirking and said '' It's alright we met in the park before i came here and he fell on me''. *OMG*, Helia felt like fainting while her husband wasn't even surprised anymore, after all it was his son they were talking about.
'' So what ? I'm pretty sure i apologised but your cheeky ass-", Helia rushed to close his mouth as she wasn't feeling like hearing more. " Should probably teach manners again, but for now, let's begin shall we?". " Rat ", said an angry Mira who has just been chased to his room while his parents could just sigh and the god, just laugh.
" I wonder what they are talking about ? ", Mira asked to himself as he layed on his bed. For some reason, he felt strangely comfortable - too comfortable - with that god around, which is not the case with the likes of his. He fell like that meeting (?) at the park wasn't the first time he has seen him. He brushed those thoughts away as he found them stupid. He was feeling sleepy and was about to close his eyes when his phone rang. He suddenly fell uneasy because he already knew who was calling him. The person who was the starting point of his trauma, the same person who was lusting after his father and was now after him, it was her, the flower goddess, Antheia.
