She doesn't sleep, she's an introvert, she has no parents. Her family history is something unimaginable, her future is wilder than any reality could ever be. She's a human...who bleeds gold and red.

Question of the chapter: What's your most cherished dream?
My head rested peacefully on Thanatos's chest, listening to his steady heartbeat. It was music to my ears, sending soft vibrations against my cheek.
"And I was stupid enough to wonder you spilled your beans due to my charms." Thanatos chuckled. I raised my head to meet his eyes which had wrinkles around the corners.
"I told you everything because it needed my love. But that does not mean you aren't charming. I was spell-bound even by looking at your eyes. You must have noticed."
He chuckled again and planted a soft kiss on my forehead. I closed my eyes, enjoying the tingling sensation of electricity in the area.
"A begger though, seriously." I raised an eyebrow. He grinned.
"I couldn't think of anything better,"
I sat upright, staring at him. "What were you doing in Olympus when you saved my life later in the day?"
"I was supposed to be submitting my yearly record to that King." He did no effort to hide his disgust for Zeus.
"That King?"
"Of course, my king and queen are only Hades and Persephone. Zeus is no match for Aidoneus."
I smiled as a twinkle of pride and joy appeared in his eyes. Hades and Persephone are sure lovely. Their visions were one amongst the ones which brought peace to me. Their flourishing love and affectionate behavior was all needed to end my tiring and barbaric day in peace. I had hoped to see more of them when I landed on Olympus but my ill luck never favoured it.
"That's right."
I subconsciously pressed my two fingers on my forehead. IT was aching so bad and a feeling of nausea was developing in my chest. I had stayed up for more than necessary hours and now it was affecting my body. Thanatos raised his body and placed a comforting hand on my cheek, staring intently in my brown eyes.
"What's wrong Lilith?"
I forced a smile for his sake, "Nothing much. I am just not able to sleep properly."
He fastened his arms around me and in no time I was cradled against his chest sitting comfortingly in his lap.
"You must sleep." He murmured in my ear. I closed my eyes to welcome the long lost sensation but the piercing ache in my head denied any solace.
"I am unable to."
He rubbed my back gently humming soft tunes in my ear. I could have never felt so happy in my life. Finally being able to have him near me. This had been my wish ever since the first vision I had of his. There was a woman near him, trying to seduce him but he sat jaw locked on the throne never daring to look at her. I fell for him at that very moment not counting his look, he was a gentleman.
I saw him helping people and spreading love, it took me longer to figure out that Thanatos was the God of death. And all after seeing his affectionate side, I could not help but think of him mostly. I loved him back then and once suddenly a vision appeared of us, together, thanking the fates for me being his soulmate and that was when I realised the pull I had with him even though only by dreams.
My eyelids feel heavy. I forced them shut tightly, trying to ignore the throbbing ache in my head.
"Thanatos..." I muttered. He stopped humming to listen to my words.
"I love you..." And anything beyond that dissolved into silence as the magic of Hypnos took over me and I fell into an exhausted slumber.

"How actually did she throw the apple though?"
"Silver! You are supposed to be trying to sleep." The shrill voice was unknown to my ears. I, who had seen almost all Olympians by now, was unaware of this person sitting beside Silver in her bed, dictating her a story of Eris and the golden apple.
As far as I know about her. She was taken by Momus and this lady had certain similarities in her appearance. Could she be-
"She will wake up with the first ray of sunlight."
A shadowy figure emerged out of thin air. His face was framed with raven hair as Thanos' and glassy green eyes. Hypnos, the God of sleep.
"We have to act quickly." The stranger spoke, struggling herself free from Silver's arms.
"Tomorrow night it shall be than." Hypnos said in his husky voice and bid his farewell as a black portal opened behind him and he pushed his body backwards, falling into it.
The lady snapped her fingers once and a gush of feathers covered her from top to bottom, materializing a platinum haired boy with an anxious expression on his godly face.
Lord Momus.

FunFact#7 I noticed somewhere near the last week that most of the night Gods' name ended with s and I was confused where to apply the apostrophe.
e.g. Momus, Nemesis, Eris, Morpheus, Hypnos, Thanatos, Hades.
If you haven't figured out yet...Thanatos was the beggar who went undercover to take a look at the Poseidon-claimed Moon.
I was dying to give Lilith something. My heart felt heavy to give her this misrable life. She didn't know her birth parents, her adopted parents died. School life for her was tough due to the abnormal skills she possesed.
She was so lonely...
Do you like their bond? We have a few more ships ahead.
