Dedicated to bhaswati18 (Her poems are worth trying, hit too deep)

Question of the chapter:  What is your favorite movie?

The raw air fanned my face like a thousand prickles as I descended to the underworld. An aura of darkness and evil surrounding my frame and contemporary hatred laced my veins as I marched inside the residence of Goddess of Discord. It wasn’t as luxurious as the beautiful underworld. Erebus had been a beautiful place always with the benevolent king and affectionate Queen. Even with the dingy enviroment, there was just something so radiant about this place truly speaking the answer that Death is only the begining of betterment.

However, there are depths where their light doesn’t reach. At the end of River Styx lives the Goddess of Discord. Cut-off from the entire immortal range.

“My lady,” I bowed as soon as the huge doors opened. The goddess was nowhere in sight as she hadn’t ever been. But her strong aura of hatred and agony pierced through my soul. Making me well aware, like an electric field, of its force and presence.

“Are we rid of the Moon, Lord Momus?” Nemesis asked from beside the throne. She was always the one talking for Eris. 

“Yes my Lady Nemesis.”

She smiled slightly and turned her face to the throne which was enveloped in utter darkness, cutting off the Goddess from intruders’ range of sight. I could barely see anything but she seemed to be in night vision.

After a second she nodded her head and started walking towards me. “She wishes to talk to you.” She said and left from the door I came in through. Even after being deathless, I felt fear surface me.

“Little Lord.” Her voice collided with the onyx walls and broke into a thousand echoes. My breath hitched in my throat at the beauty of it.

“My Lady.”

“You have done a good job little lord but we won’t be seeing you for a long time.” 

I nodded my head on her orders. Her voice was undoubtedly gorgeous but it lacked emotions. There was no coldness, no warmth, just blank sound. Which made it even more creepy.

“May I know the reason, your grace.”

“You would have been marked traitor by now little lord and thus I can’t give you any more job.”

I nodded and bowed my head again.

“Then I shall take my leave Lady Eris.” I turned around to exit as soon as I could. I might be great in ridicule and bitter sarcasm but this evil aura was not what I bestow ever or dwell inside me. It's almost poisonous.

Suddenly cold enveloped me. I felt a hand on my shoulder and my heart stopped. 

Her lips close to my ear moved as she mouthed, “I hope you are not lying.”

It was a mere whisper but I was intimidated. My heart went mad and the ichor in my pulses threatened to burst.

“I would never, Lady Eris.” 

Her lips formed into a smile on my neck, “Good.” She whispered again and after that the coldness vanished. I was alone now.

She moved sometimes in the hibernation pod. Sometimes she didn’t. I was afraid that she’d die until I returned but she was safe. Endymion was granted this magical pod as a blessing from Zeus. A blessing and a curse. Once when you step into it, your time stops and you become immortal for the period of your stay inside but on the side effect, it makes you go asleep. She wasn’t bleeding but I my heart still hurted to see her like this. All because of me.

I might be the picky God, hated by most Olympians but murder was something I never did or favored and this girl, this specific silverhead has made me regret my actions with greater intensity. I will make it up to her but I know she'd hate me when she wakes up.

A lone tear escaped the corner of my eyes.

Why for you Silver?

═━━━━◈━━━━═
This chapter wasn't mean to be posted right now but here we are! Yay! I was kinda shocked on seeing the news that '12th board exams postponed'. Like Wth!

But then I looked at the brighter side that I won't quit my sweet Luna when Silver is at the death bed and its second annivarsary if on the way. *grins*
Yes! My Luna is sixety days old today (16th April)! You know I kinda felt childish about these things at starting but suddenly it matters to me so much. It matters that I have given my days and nights to Luna, norishing it with love. I might not be up to the mark right now but I am happy I share a bond with it.
