The woman's name was Grisha
A beautiful face coupled with a personality of a saint
It was no wonder Erebus fell in love almost immediately
After beating down the criminals that tried to take advantage of her
He offered her a helping hand and proceeded to kill the men
So that they wouldn't do anything like this ever again

But
Instead of letting him kill the ones who wronged her
She had the courage to stand up to a god to preserve the lives of the men
Many would consider this a foolish choice
But the god of darkness saw unparalleled determination in her eyes
Therefore, he let them go

After capturing Chronos and sending him back to his dimension
He was strangely drawn towards Grisha
So he started spending time with her
But the more he did this
The more he found it enjoyable
Seeing her live her day to day life with happiness
After a while, he started looking forward to each day

Many years flew by
At that time, Erebus felt the need to do something
He realized that he wanted to be with Grisha for all eternity
But he could not do this while she was still mortal
So when he went to ask
He groveled before her

Yes, for he knew that immortality was not that easy to accept
It might sound like a benefit
But it is a hard life to lead
Hence, he pleaded her while expressing his heartfelt feelings
A god lowering his head to a mortal was unheard of
A myriad of emotions were evident on Grisha's face

Fortunately, or in this case, unfortunately
She agreed to spend her life with him
Even if she had to give everything up and leave it all behind
Erebus was elated at this
He immediately went to the Divine Realm to inform his brother
But not before promising Grisha that he will definitely come back for her
Leaving her self-assured, he ascended into the higher plane

No
Was the answer of Savanium, the god of light
Enraged, he expressed his disdain
There was no reason to reject someone his brother chose especially
But there was just one problem
She was not human

Looking at the short horns growing out of her purple hair
It was the truth
Her race was demon
A race that Savanium didn't care much about
But nor did he particularly like that much either

To him, humans were at the top of the mortal realm's races
So he held heavy prejudice against everyone else beneath them
The demons were more adept at using magic than humans
But that was just it

There was no big difference between them
Yet, he still looked at them differently
Towards this brother, the god of darkness was enraged
But instead of letting his rage control him
He calmed himself and started to talk
