"So- we know nothing?" Nyx rubbed her temples "I should have been there, I would have gotten more answers out of them. We basically don't know anything!" Nyx threw her arms up in the air, if she wanted something done right she should have done it herself, she thinks.
"Calm down. We do know something. Like how Gaia didn't die because she has no life span, there's nothing to be cut." Erebus explained connecting dots for the group.
"Which also means she has more power over fate than the Moirai or she knows someone who does." He finished.
"That's terrifying..." Eros added. He had a faraway look on his face, his eyes glazed over and face pale. He did look terrified.
"What does that mean about Gianna then? Do we know?" Tartarus asked. Gianna appreciated his concern, he was like an uncle she never had.
"I haven't figured it out yet. I don't know how this affects her yet." Erebus looked over at Gianna and gave her a soft, sad smile. Poor Erebus was drained. He had been up all night trying to figure out what the Fates meant, and what Gaia could have possibly been thinking. He's been unsuccessful.
Gianna passed out last night after her breakdown. She can tell how tired Erebus is and it hurts her heart to see him so frustrated and hung up on something. She almost wants them to give up, quit looking for answers and just be happy. But she knew that was a selfish wish. They all lost their "friend", someone they had been with for all of time. It must be hard for them. Harder than she'd know.
"I think we need a witch or something to access Gaias memories from Gianna. See if we can find anything." Nyx proposed.
"She has been searching. But it appears the memories leading up to the passing over of memories are fuzzy" Erebus's tune showed his frustration.
"That's why we need the witch. Gianna can't do it."
"Yes she can! Just give her time. The last thing she needs right now is some random witch poking around in her mind." Erebus advocated for Gianna, who was appreciative of it.
Gianna felt lost in this conversation. She felt silly knowing it was about her but she couldn't comprehend what was going on. She just got this body and these memories and powers. Now she has to worry about the dead(?) God who gave this to her? It made her head spin.
"We aren't getting anywhere arguing." Erebus turned to Gianna and his gaze softened "do you want to come with me back to the room?" He asked her gently.
Gia was always so impressed with her man. He was dark and scary and powerful. But he was also soft, kind, and gentle. Almost like a puppy.
"Yes please." She was more than happy to join him. She needed to get out of this stupid stone room and the tension in the air.
The walk about to their room was silent but comfortable. Erebus was tired and Gianna lost in thought. He held hands and they leisurely made their way down the hall.
"I'm sorry Gianna, I'm so tired." Erebus's head fell into his hands as he sat on the side of the bed.
Feeling a pang of guilt Gia knelt before him and tugged his hands away from his head. He looked down at her as she looked up at him, and he couldn't help but to smile.
She was so beautiful. The light of his life, literally.
She responded with a smile that turned into a laugh. He just made her so happy. Gianna knelt up and kissed
Erebus on the lips, catching him off guard.
Gia was about to pull away when Erebus's hand came to the back of her head and cradled her neck and the base of her skull. Holding her in place.
He responded to her hastily, he could never get enough of her. Whatever she gave he'd taken happily.
