Gianna's POV:
I refrained from adjusting in this stupid stone chair, as the tense air grew heavier. I was anxiously waiting for someone to say something. This was getting awkward and I was beginning to think they didn't believe me.
They're meeting here.^ but in the center is a table and there's a walkway ofc.
"So- you're still Gianna?" Erebus asks hopefully, and when I nod in response he seems to relax.
That made my heart flutter. He was scared of losing me. I don't know what I would have done if I lost my identity and become Gaia. I'd like to think I'd still love Erebus. But knowing how Gaia felt about him, I doubt even my feelings could have persuaded her.
"I don't believe this. This- this has never happened. How can we believe you, we haven't spoken to Gaia in a long time, and now you show up saying you are her predecessor. I'm sorry, but that's very hard to believe." I don't blame Nyx for questioning my story. And glancing around the big stone table it looks as though Eros and Tarturas feel the same.
"Listen I know-" I begin.
"You don't know. None of us get along very well but we've always had each other through all this time, before anyone else. And You're saying Gaia's gone? The second being to exist decided to end her life?" Nyx's hands waved in the air expressly.
"S-she didn't die-" I go to defend myself, at least that's what Gaia told me.
"Are you stupid? Of course, she did. She gave you everything but her soul. She's gone. She's no longer. That stuffy bitch didn't even say goodbye or tell us that she what she was doing. I didn't even know we could do that!" Nyx's words are harsh but they hold truth.
I guess I was naive to think Gaia wasn't erasing her existence by passing her powers and memories down to me.
"Nyx." Erebus's voice cut through the air. "Watch what you say." He threatened. I wanted to tell him he didn't need to defend me. But this whole week has been draining. I don't feel like starting another argument.
