Chapter 15: Mysteries
Island of Crete
In a non - disclosed part of the Island, Adamantheia, the leader of the Nymphs was standing in front a spring with a little box in her hands, the one which Aphrodite gave to her from Lucifer.
Adamantheia opened the box and took out a seed "let's see what's special about you" Adamantheia said as she willed the soil to open using her control over nature and planted the seed close to the spring.
After she did that, she watered it and immediately she did that, the whole Island shook as the seed grew into a sprout, but it didn't end there, the sprout grew into a seedling, from a seedling, grew into a sapling and a mature tree before everything calmed down.
Adamantheia looked at the huge tree in front of her and wondered what type of tree was it, she moved closer to feel the tree but she was pushed back by an insurmountable force which would have killed her if not for someone who protected her.
"Are you mad, can't you see the tree have not yet finished its transformation? Do you want to get yourself killed?"
Adamantheia turned to look at the man who held her and saw that it was Lucifer shirtless.
Adamantheia immediately left his hold before clearing her throat "I did not know about it, I just thought that since everything was calm after the phenomenon from planting it, I could see what type of tree it was, but I didn't know that it was still in a process of transformation. But what kind of tree is that?"
Lucifer sighed "it is something that will grant you the power to protect yourselves as you don't expect me to do that for you" Lucifer said as he disappeared from there leaving the confused Adamantheia.
Adamantheia didn't dwell on the matter and just stared at the tree which was changing from a normal tree to one with an indescribable aura filled with life energy.
Adamantheia marvelled at the sight of the tree but it was taking long for it to finish its transformation, so she decided to go and come back another time.
Adamantheia didn't know that what she just did, the seed she just planted which caused such a strange phenomenon throughout the plane, did not just affect only the plane they currently reside but throughout every realm across the cosmos and the primordial gods were the ones who felt it more especially the ones that resides in the Greco Realm.
Elsewhere
Lucifer laid on a bed with Aphrodite beside him as they just finished having a session.
Aphrodite ran her fingers around the perfectly sculpted body of her husband, Lucifer when she remembered something he said a few weeks back when they were still at Gaia's domain.
"You said something about me being your second wife, I'm curious about who is the first woman to catch the eyes of the oh mighty Lucifer Morningstar, one of your sisters?"
Aphrodite asked Lucifer as she had been curious about who his first wife given him being the one of the first beings to be created and how he regarded the other Archangels as his siblings to how he was confined in hell for 10 million years, so he could not have met another woman apart from his angel sisters.
Lucifer was caught off guard by the question as he remained silent with no way of having an answer for her. Even he himself do not know why he said Aphrodite was his second wife instead of the first one, all he knew was that when Gaia asked Aphrodite what god she was, he subconsciously said she was his second instead of his first.
Lucifer sighed and looked at Aphrodite "I myself do not know the answer to that question as it remains a mystery to me, in fact a lot of things are a mystery to me, but you must know you are always going to be mine and nothing will separate us, not even the first wife"
Lucifer said as he has also accepted the fact that he has a first wife even if he did not know of her, he just believed it has something to do with his Father, so he does not care, for all he knows, he might not even meet this first wife in his immortal life.
Aphrodite nodded as she saw the conviction in Lucifer's eyes when he said she will always be in his heart no matter what and knew that he was saying the truth "I will also stand by you even if the whole cosmos is against you because you are mine" Aphrodite said as she planted a kiss on his lips.
Lucifer responded with kind as she kissed are back which turned him so on that he groped Aphrodite and they had another love making session.
The Godking Plane
Chronos was seated on his throne and he was not in a good mood as he got words from Rhea that she is pregnant which did not go well with him as he was still afraid of the curse his father placed on him before his death.
"If you are thinking about what father said, then you have to remember what mother told you, you don't have to worry about something like that, how can a child fight against its father, there is no way, so I will have to tell to not dwell on it that much and be happy that, you are going to be a father"
A blue haired man styled in a wavy pattern and eyes like the deep blue sea, he is Oceanus, the Titan of the River water, the first born of Gaia and Ouranos.
He was here when Rhea brought the news of her pregnancy to Chronos who should be happy, instead he had a gloomy expression which Rhea did not take kindly and left.
Oceanus seeing this knew that something bad will happen if Chronos do not overcome his fear of what their father said with his dying breath.
Chronos looked at Oceanus "what do you mean by 'how can a child kill its own father?' Have you forgotten that we did exactly that to our own father? So what's stopping mine from doing the same? It wouldn't be far fetched to say that it actually runs in the family" Chronos said to Oceanus before closing his eyes and think of ways to avert his fate.
"Well, I had nothing to do with that so I didn't think about that, but just because you did that to father does not mean your child will do the same, if I were you, I would heed the words of mother and not do anything about it because seeing as you are now plotting something, I have a feeling it wouldn't be good and that might be the cause of your demise, so please brother, don't dwell on the matter too much, I'm leaving" Oceanus said before turning into a puddle of water leaving the Godking plane.
Chronos didn't listen to what Oceanus said and continued to think of ways to get rid of any obstacle in his way.
