“She's somewhere in the back, she should be here soon,” Hermès said, looking away from him.As much as it wasn't Ivan's fault, which Hermès was very much aware of, he couldn't help but feel some kind of dislike towards Ivan.The man had unconsciously, without his knowledge, made Artemis fall in love with him and Hermès had seen the look in her eyes when she said she didn't want him.She was serious and seemed so sure about it, so much he knew he did not stand a chance against what she felt for Ivan.As if on cue, Artemis walked in from the back, her eyes searching for them.Hermès met her gaze and held it for a second, silently pleading with her to see him, to notice him.But Artemis' gaze let his, traveling to Ivan, whose back was to her, he saw the look of adoration that crossed her eyes and his heart bled even more.The longing in her eyes was hard to miss, anyone with eyes would see how much she wanted him, anyone but Ivan himself.Her eyes slowly stared at the back of his head, d

“Hera, Hera, Hera, Hera, Hera,....” Ares heard her more clearly as he moved closer to her. Panic is written all over his face. Was his worst fear coming true?Was her brain only picking up bits of the war?Why didn't she remember their love before the war?Was it not strong enough?Why was her brain choosing to punish him?“Hey hey, I'm here. What's going on? What did you see?” He asked concerned as he drew her to his chest, trying to calm her down.Tears started streaming down her face as she started sobbing.“Did you know her?” She raised her head as she asked, her eyes sore from sobbing.Afraid of what to answer, he rested her head back on his chest and rocked her, hopefully, to sleep while he contemplated on how to answer her.“Why do I remember the death of someone I didn't know?” She asked him again, this time she didn't look up.He was fighting off his tears too. He was afraid she'd feel it.“Don't worry, we'll make sense of it. You need to rest now.” He assured them while tryi

“You both are being childish right now,” Ivan said, letting his gaze dart from one to another.“She is being mean,” Hermes defended himself. “You were asking obvious questions, and I gave the appropriate answers,” Artemis said, not looking at him.“Enough,” Ivan said, spreading his palms on the table for extra effect.They both kept mute, each glaring at each other, Ivan knew for sure something was wrong with the two, but he was not ready to interfere.“I found Hades, and that’s the perfect lead that we need,” Ivan said to change the subject to more important issues.“Yeah, I’ll ask the guys to track his every move,” hermit said, immediately switching moods.“Yeah right” Artemis snorted They both went back and forth with each other again, Ivan looked between the two and knew he would rather be nowhere in the world but there.

So many thoughts clouded Sara's mind as she showered. She hoped that they would truthfully answer all her questions about what she saw in her dream. What did it mean? She couldn't remember any war, or was it a blur? Something that happened and she couldn't remember? It could be, after all, she wasn't blind before and here she was.The scent of her coconut soap hit her nose. It comforted her, it brought back memories that were strange to her. Memories that felt familiar but nostalgic, leading her back to the dream she had. That scent was connected to whatever she saw in her dream. Hopefully, the explanation she was going to get would illustrate everything.Suddenly, she got a quick flash as she was drying her body. It was a time when she was in that same state and Hera walked in on her, and she shouted her name and told her to leave the room.Why did that name keep coming up in her mind? Hera.Who was Hera? And why was she so concerned about her death? She was just trying to grasp the

Ivan hesitated for a minute, it could not by chance be that Vera wanted him to kiss her. They had been married for the longest time, and she had avoided him and intimacy at all costs, so why now?Vera looked at him, urging him on with her eyes, as she was a bit of a coward to go in for it first. Her heart raced fast, and she squeezed her hand, fighting the urge to yank him down by his shirt and kiss him to her satisfaction.Ivan let out a low grunt as his resolve crashed as she planted his lips on hers, wrapping one of his arms around her and drawing her into him, his other hand cupping her chin, giving him more access to her mouth.Vera let herself be carried away by the kiss, she let out a low mourn as his tongue brushed against her lower lip seeking permission to tour her mouth.Her hands snaked up his torso until they wrapped around his neck, her fingers caressing his nape.Ivan could swear this was the best kiss of his life, her lips were softer than he had imagined them to be, a

Anna excused herself, walking out of the room. Her mouth itched to tell Sara everything, to get this cat-and-mouse game over, but her hands were tied.It was not something she could just tell her, it would not be good for her or anyone of them.The delicacy of the topic could not be overemphasized. So she took the liberty of leaving, it was the easiest thing to do presently, she had made herself believe.The kitchen was her peaceful place, the sheer joy she derived from mixing spices and creating delicious dishes was just the serenity her mind needed at the moment.Her love for spices and earthy things was something she was born with, she had grown her first plant at age three, it was a basil and her mother had made her dry and preserve the first leaf that fell.It was like a trophy, an award of some sort, and she had cherished it above everything, bragging to all who would listen to her little rants.At age five, she had made her first herbal portion for her sisters' flu, which had d
