KHAOS

Nyx.

Finally, it is good to have a body again.

I stretch my limbs and turn to look at my partner, staring back at me with loving eyes. "Erebus?" I ask just to make sure he is truly my love.

He puts on one of his famous smug grins, even in another body, I recognize it. "Why hello dear. I told you we will meet again." He leans in for a kiss, but I stop him by putting a hand in front of my face.

Now is not the time.

"Over a century we've been apart, and you are still a lovesick dork." I roll my eyes and put my hand down.

Erebus smiles at me, "Your dork my love."

You must be very confused right now. Well, I do not blame you, the power of the gem can be very confusing.

You see, a long time ago, my power was stolen from me. My kingdom and my love. All because of envy and greed.

All because I was young and naive.

I had a lot going on during that period, a kingdom, a husband, a magical jewel that could destroy the whole universe and an heir on the way.

Yes, I was expecting.

All at nineteen years of age.

Yet, those fools decided to be greedy and cold hearted, they all agreed to kill me, to destroy the empire I had built and worked oh so hard for.

The archives did not tell you the whole story. What goes into the archives is what history sees, not what everyone else sees so sometimes, the so-called victim could be the attacker, the prey could be the predator and the hunter could be the hunted.

 This is the story from my perspective...

I was formed directly from Khaos, the creator while everyone else came from the soil. Khaos made six kingdoms and gave each one a skill and gift so they could all benefit from one another.

The Ravens, my kingdom were the most powerful empire.

Now, Erebus, my partner was made from a drop of Khaos' golden light making him the third most powerful being in the world, first being Khaos and second being me.

Erebus and I grew very fond of each over the years, we played together, we sang together, we ate together and sometimes when I was feeling lonely, I would sleep with him in his bed. When I was sixteen and he was seventeen we got married and I became queen of the Ravens while he became king. The ceremony was grand and there were a lot of celebrations and merry making.

The Ravens and the other kingdoms lived in harmony until I became pregnant.

Now, all the other rulers had their heirs except me which was understandable since I was young. One day, Khaos gifted me a red jewel, the blood gem and told me it was the source of supreme power. It said my future child would need it in the future. Keep in mind, I was the only one who could talk to Khaos directly.

Later, I decided to throw a party and invited all the important people from every kingdom. I intended to announce that I was expecting to everyone since they were all my friends. At least, I thought they were my friends.

During the celebration, I began to feel irritated since not everything was going as planned, people were arguing and disagreeing with each other then blaming it on me. The raging hormones and irritation were not a good combo. When a Black Crow approached me with some childish problem, I erupted and accidentally killed him.

Everyone panicked and left the party in a haste. I felt terrible since nothing like that or close to that had ever happened before and tried to apologize several times by sending gifts, money, food and even compensation for the family of the Black Crow but nobody forgave me. They saw me as a threat and planned to kill me.
