Destined for Love (Book 1)

Chapter 15 ~ Meeting Sun and Moon

<ANGEL>
I walked over to the table a few minutes later, I was so glad to sit down, that I did not notice that the table was not empty.

"Do you know who that is?" said a soft voice

I turned to look at a beautiful pale blue-haired goddess talking with a red and orange-haired god, they were both staring at me confused.

"It is not right to stare, Sister," he said

"Hi," I said suddenly causing them both to gasp, "My name is Angel, I am the future wife of Eros"

"We know who you are," she said "my name is Selene, this is my brother, Helios"

"God of the sun and goddess of the moon, right," I said, shock appearing on their faces, "it is nice to meet you both"

"I am surprised that you have so much knowledge about us, especially with the fact that you are mortal," said Helios

"I always read a lot of history books on Greek mythology, but I always had a feeling that a lot of it was fabricated by the gods themselves to change how we mortals portray you" I admitted causing him to laugh

"Only some of them and only to make themselves look good," he said

"So is it true about Phaeton," I asked him

"It is, Phaeton asked me to allow him to drive my chariot however he lost control and set the earth on fire" he admitted

"It must have been hard giving up the job of pulling the sun across the sky to Apollo," I asked

"No, I assist when he is needed for his other duties, like healing and music," he said "it is the same for Selene with Artemis when she is on the hunt"

"You have another sister, right," I asked

"Yes, Eos, the goddess of the dawn," said Helios "She is married to Astraeus, the god of the dusk"

"Although you will never meet them so do not ask, Lady Angel" added Selene and I nodded

"By the way, I love the hair colours, is that your natural hair colour or did you change it that way," I said

"No, it is our natural hair colour, it is associated with being the personifications of the sun and moon themselves" he explained "that is why Apollo and Artemis, have not got the same hair colour as us, they are not directly connected with the sun and moon"

"So"

"So, they do not lose their powers when the sun or moon is not in the sky, we do, however, Apollo is subdued when it rains" he continued

"So which one of you as lost their powers at this time," I asked

"I have, the moon is in the sky," said Helios

"I am guessing that there is only one time that both of you have your powers," I asked, Helios and Selene looked at me confused, "I was referring to a solar eclipse"

"Oh Yes, the solar eclipse," Helios said laughing

"The only time that the sun is hidden by the moon," I said "after all, the sun is still there"

"Yes, the solar eclipse is the only time that both of us have our powers, but my powers are still not as strong even then, but I do have them," he said "the powers of Selene are stronger during that period because the moon is shadowing the sun, although as you rightly said, it is still there"

"I see that you have met Helios and Selene, Angel," said Hera

"I have, we were talking about, their abilities and the solar eclipse," I said "I still love their hair colours, it makes them unique"
