——————————————————————————————-
Days have passed since I killed Zeus and Hera, and a lot of things have changed, for one… after crowning Hestia with the help of Demeter, Hades, and Persephone, we made sure no one would aim their fangs at her, so in hopes to keep… all the greedy gods in line, we made some alliances public, with the help of Odin and Sun Wukong, the Triad of Pantheons was born.
Three pantheons, from different cultures that would help each other in times of need, this also meant, if anyone wanted to hurt Hestia, they would have to go through Odin and Sun Wukong… which was a hard no, considering Zeus was the only one able to match them, at least in the greek pantheon.
As for the other changes, well… during the transmission of power, I discovered who had been plotting against me by kidnapping Pennybeth. One of the minor gods in the realm of love, and Aphrodite, needless to say, I killed them both, mercilessly and now… Hebe was the goddess of love, at least until Hestia found a better replacement.
As for my situation, I haven't found any escapes, I can feel day by day, as if something is pulling me into a deep pit… is a weird feeling, one that I fear… but I guess I lived a good life, I fell in love, I lived a live of adventure, I did more than most in a lifetime, so I can't really complain, I mean… I could… but seeing as that hasn't solved any of the problems in my life, I think I will not.
As for old time clock god, well… There are no signs of him, but even if he does come back to life, he will have to face the Triad, which… I doubt he has the power to overcome.
"So… I am a Queen now," Hestia sighed, entering my room unannounced, look at her flexing that queen power, "I never thought this… would be a thing, I mean.. I never… you know…"
"I know," I nodded, "But… I know you will do great…. With you in power, things will change for the better," I assured her, patting her on the head, of all the forms she would normally used, she was now sporting her mature look, looking like a woman on her prime, I think the Hestia that didn't want to be notice disappeared when all of this began.
"Adam… I love you," Hestia declared… just like that, god she will kill me faster than my curse, "It took me a while to wrap my head around that… love out of… familiar love was always a big no for me, but… well, here I am…"
"I love you too," I muttered, approaching her, her face was so close to mine that I could smell the sweet fragrance of her natural perfume, I could feel my heart beat faster and faster as Hestia looked at me with trepidation, was this torture? To do this knowing I will die? To taste her lips knowing that soon darkness would welcome me, if it wasn't torture for me, would it be for her? Maybe… but in all honesty, I didn't care, taking a step forward, I bent down, my lips against her cheek, brushing it lightly, afraid to break something, and still that light touch sent visibly shivers through her, shivers that made her whole body tremble in trepidation. "If you want me to stop, I will… just tell me," I whispered. But Hestia said nothing, she stood there looking at me, her eyes locked into mine, as I brushed my mouth against hers."I don't want to forc--'' Tired of waiting, Hestia had reached up and pulled me down to her, crashing her lips into mine, and the rest of my words were lost, the rest of my world was lost. For what, it felt like hours, I kissed her gently, carefully, her warmth overwhelming my senses, until we broke from our sweet embrace.
"So… that's how it feels to kiss the man you love," Hestia smiled, blushing under my gaze.
"Finally!!!!!!!!!!!" Honey who… was apparently hiding in my closet jumped out, "Odin owes me two million dollars!"
"I… will ignore that," Hestia chuckled, "I love you Adam… now and always,"
"Me--" This feeling, this creeping feeling of despair… "Leave the room and teleport to Asgard now," I said with a tone that left no room for arguments, Hestia and Honey exchanged a look of worry, before nodding and doing as I told them to do.
"Kissing… that's all you manage to get after so long…. I must say… I am rather disappointed, like humans say.. Your game is weak," There was no doubt, my father, Nyarlathotep had come earlier than I expected, but here he was…
"Why are you here, as you can see… I am in control, still…" I glared at the monster in human guise, with such hate I could taste it, if only I was stronger than him, alas I was not.
"Yes, yes… I can see that, unfortunately, but for how long… how long do you think you can keep your humanity intact?" Nyarlathotep chuckled, his arms turning into tentacles that wrapped around me faster than I could see, "A week… a month? Or maybe a day?"
"Which one of those options inconveniences you the most?" I snarled, struggling it against his bindings.
"Of all my children… you are indeed the most fun," Nyarlathotep clicked his mouth humming, "I suppose you can still fight me… or… you can see your sweet little Hestia die," at this Hestia appeared in front of me, bound to a shadow that kept her in place, "So.. what will you do… struggle against your destiny? Or will you save her, dear son…"
"Don't!" Hestia shouted, "Don't give him what he wants!"
"That's the thing little rose," Nyarlatothep smiled, pulling her close to him, "I always get what I want… one way or another, I kill you… he loses control… he saves you… he loses control, see? Win win scenario for me,"
"I will do what you want, but… not here, I don't want to hurt her," I had no idea how I would escape from this, but… one way or another, I would stop him.
"Fair enough," Nyarlatothep smiled, releasing Hestia from her bindings, "Au revoir!" and with that, he pulled me into a portal, leaving a broken Hestia behind, calling my name.
