Eternal

Chapter 2

While Selene was asking Zeus for help Endymion was sleeping peacefully in the cave. Although he was asleep for decades and didn't know how the world had changed in such a long time he always dreamed about a beautiful lady. He always saw a lady humming sweetly in the light wearing a white gown which stuck to her slender figure. He would always dream about that same lady looking up to the moon from his cave. He never saw the face of the lady but knew that she was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. Although he had seen the crown of olive leaves on her head and heard her melodious laugh. He always knew it was somebody from the Olympians but what he couldn't understand was why he was dreaming about her. From the first time since fair Endymion dreamt about this beautiful creature he knew that he was in love. In love with a woman he had seen only in his dreams. The woman with whom he had spent hours talking to and smiling with, in his dreams. But what saddened him was that he could never touch this lovely lady. Everytime he stretched a hand forward to touch the beautiful muddy hair she would disappear in the wind. He had wanted to run his figures through the beautiful locks of the young lady but never did. Scared to lose her company. She was the only thing that made him regret his decision of choosing eternal slumber. She was the only reason he wanted to wake up. But what if the lady of his dreams was only in his dreams and not in reality. He knew if he ever woke up he would want to find this fair lady and marry her. To keep her happy and smiling. Cause he knew she was the only one who could make him feel like he is in heaven when he would be on earth. She was the only one who would make this place called earth bearable. For the forever young Endymion was in love with the lady of his dreams.

There will come a time when a great and wise man will be brought to earth. Near the fair mortal's bed. He will help thousands of the doomed. Prometheus' creation will wake the forever young moon's lover. He will help the mortal and the immortal.

Zeus' voice boomed through the sky as Selene sat with Endymion's head on her lap. She looked up to the sky with tears in her eyes and thanked the lord for bestowing this blessing on her. She waited patiently for decades for this human to be born.

Although Zeus had helped her a lot and showed her a path Selene was agitated as she didn't know which decade that human was going to take birth. Selene would walk through the village near the cave at night to look for that mortal soul. She didn't know how she will know its the mortal she is looking for. She was hoping to feel something when she looked at the baby. Selene searched and searched for the child for five decades when one day she finally found him.

Just as she had thought, when she looked at the child he was pale white like the moon and had eyes the darkest blue, like the night sky. Selene knew that this was the mortal she had been looking for and now she simply had to wait for the child to grow up.

Every night, Selene would sit by her Endymion and talk to him. Telling him about the pale mortal with night sky eyes. The one who will unite the two lovers. Selene would laugh talking about the pale boy falling in the mud. She would tell Endymion every day about the pale boy and what he did that day. She would kiss him and sleep beside him listening to his heart beat.
