"So, ummm my father sent you" I asked the muscled man in front of me. I couldn't help staring at his gorgeous tanned skin and his beautiful brown eyes. 

"Yes, said you had questions I needed to answer or something" He ran his hand through his blonde curls and frowned a little.

"You look really young, even for a God" He laughed at me and winked at Herma, making me frown at him.

"Oh, turn that frown upside down, sharing is caring baby girl" Ceberus growled under his breath and I smiled knowing he was getting jealous. 

"For a God of death, you're very happy" he gave me a confused look that made his eyes cross. 

"We're not all bitter like your old man, I'm perfectly happy in the clouds with my brother Hypnos, bringing mortals to their death" he smiled a sadistic smile and his eyes turned black for a moment as he focused intently on me.

"Deaths that you, the fruit of my loins are supposed to being about, normally I'm cool with the mortals dying, but if you kill everything, I'm sort of out of a job, so what do you need to know to not bring on the apocalypse of the universe as we know it" Thantos was weird to me, he seemed at one point to be playful and then it's as if with every word he spoke, it became crueler and evil, then he was back to his playful self. 

"I just want to know how to control what's inside me, whatever is inside me, and I figured since my father wasn't aware, my mother won't tell me anything, and I can't speak to Gaea, you might have some answers" Thantos nodded his head and stood up, looking around the place that we now called home.

"Who told you, you can't talk to Gaea" He asked me as he looked out the window and pressed his face against it.

"I umm, myself I guess, she's Earth, how can I speak to her" He shook his head at me while keeping his face pressed against the glass. My three mates looked at me with confused expressions, I'm sure mirroring my own.

"You have life and death running through your veins, nature and composition, light and darkness, sweetie you are Gaea, you are mother nature" i shook my head no, that's ridiculous.

"You have a nature affinity, yes?, the daughter of Persephone and granddaughter of Demeter, the goddesses of nature,  but then you have death inside of you, the power to kill, to destroy, I'm guessing you get that from me, Hades, and Zeus, anyway...................your mother told me you emit a poison that can harm even Gods, the only Goddess who could harm in such a way was Gaea, your mother knew what she was doing when she created you, what else have you tried to do besides poison, have you tried to heal" I nodded my head and he came back over to sit across from me.

"Did you succeed" I nodded my head again, I remember not too long ago when I had healed Anteros. I had crushed the herbs inside my mouth and it traveled from me into his body healing him. 

"Have you tried to create earthquakes, tornadoes, cause an island to have a tsunami or a volcanic eruption, have you tried to grow forests, plants, have you used your affinity for animals" I glared at him as I stood up. Why the hell was he asking me this?

"I've been in my room in the fucking underworld for the last 15 years okay, I haven't done shit but exist and kill those who got too close" Thantos looked up at me his eyes black again.

"Then how the hell do you expect to become something great if all you've been doing is sitting on your ass like a spoiled fucking teenager Helena, your power is great, it could be greater than Hera's, than Zeus', yet you sit and stew like some fucking depressed teen, get over the Ares thing, get the fuck out there and do something with yourself, for Gods sake you're almost 16, you're going to be a weak, pathetic excuse for a Goddess, you couldn't fucking keep Ares off your ass" I felt this anger inside me at him. I watched as my skin turned green again, but then there were also swirls of red, black, brown.
