The young god thought about continuing to experience the book, but decided against it in the end. It was only after he calmed himself down a bit, that he realized how exhausted he really was. So he lay down on his back and relaxed. It felt like ages since the last time he properly relaxed, he was sure to enjoy it to the fullest of his ability.
Looking at the moon in the sky always helped him with that. He loved the warm light the moon gave off. Laying in the water his thoughts drifted to all the things that happened over the course of the day. It was the most eventful day he had in a long time.
“When was the last time so many things happened, so fast behind each other?” the young god started to think. He wanted to say that it wasn’t too long ago since his last adventure, but the more insecure he became.
His eyes widened in the realization that he didn’t know. “How long did I just lay down and did nothing?” The most recent event he knew of was the punishment he gave the humans for bothering him. He winced remembering how Gaia screamed at him because of that.
His thoughts wandered further in the past, to the last real adventure he had. To the sunken city he found. It wasn’t the first city he saw underwater, there were many more and many that were far bigger than the last one he found. Though not one of them could compete against its beauty.
“As beautiful as the sea itself.” That was how he described the city. The thought of this place made him smile. His mind wandered back to Clare, thinking that she probably would want to see that place,as a thought struck him. “How did Clare know about the city?”
He remembered the Visions quite vividly, so he knew that Clare told her mother about this city, but how? And that wasn’t the only weird thing. He was sure that Clare described the city the same way he did. “Her father told her about that palace, then how did he know?”
The young gods mind was racing, how could a human have seen that place? The answer, “they couldn’t.” said the young god, there was no doubt to be heard in his voice. “That meant someone I told the story to the humans, but who?”
His first idea was Gaia, but he never told her, so that left only two candidates. Well technically three, but he was sure that his sister Luna wasn’t the one. She was more of the quiet type, and liked to listen to the story of her other siblings.
Thinking about it a bit more, he quickly found the answer. “It was Uranus,” he said. Uranus was known for his big mouth, and the missing awareness on when to shut up. The young god still remembered what Uranus said to Gaia, making her cry. What, in turn, made her ignore or worse hit Uranus, whenever he got close to her, for a very long time. It wasn’t like Uranus meant to hurt Gaia, but he had a neck for saying the wrong thing that was all.
Now that he knew who told the humans, he could ask Uranus who he told and maybe find out where he could find Clare. The young god grew more and more excited, till something occurred to him. “Why do I care so much?” he asked himself. “And what if I find her? What should I do then?”
Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Doubts started to appear one after the other, and he began to get lost in his thoughts when he heard a voice.
“Hey.”
“Hey!”
“Hey, you blue haired fish wake up.”
His eyes snapped open, after hearing that. His gaze wandered to the sky that was now full of clouds. “Finally, how long did you plan on keeping me waiting huh?” On top of one of the clouds was a black haired young man that was looking down on the young man. If you looked closely you could see bright spots in his hair making it look like the night sky.
“What are you talking about? I didn't call you.” The young god answered, annoyed. He liked Uranus, really he did, but he really was the most annoying being he knew sometimes.
“Oh, you did. After I heard that I came all the way here to ask you what you meant and when I finally arrived, you not only ignored me, no you even say you didn’t call me. Unbelievable." Uranus huffed, and turned his head away from the young god, in mock outrage.
It was true that Uranus wasn’t the most aware being out there, but he still loved anyone, people, and seeing their reactions. He did the same now, but more controlled. The last thing Uranus wanted was for his brother to get angry.
The brother in question on the other hand was now not only annoyed but also confused. I took him a good minute till he knew what Uranus meant, and when you knew he couldn’t help but sigh.
“I didn’t mean to call you Uranus, sorry for the trouble.” That caught Uranus off guard, not only did his brother admit that he was wrong, but he also apologized. That was a first for Uranus, so he couldn’t help but tease his brother a bit.
“Oh wow i never thought I would have the honor to hear a sorry out of your mouth.” The young god narrowed his eyes at that comment, which made Uranus shiver, but he just let out another sigh and turned to his side. “Could you please leave now. I’m not in the mood right now.” he said while lazily waving his hand.
Seeing that made Uranus look at him with concern. He knew that his brother was lazy, this though, this was different. His brother looked almost sad. Not even after Luna scolded him did he look like that.
“Is everything alright? Did Luna scold you again?” Uranus asked, suddenly appearing right above his brother. The young god glazed at Uranus. “What? No she didn’t. And why would she? I didn’t do anything wrong.”
Uranus rolled his eyes. “You know that you said the same thing last time you caused a catastrophe.”
The young god winced, but his face quickly became one of anger. “Well this time i didn’t! Now piss off, before I make you.” Sitting up while screaming. Uranus immediately noticed his mistake.
“Look, I'm sorry. I was just concerned, that's all.”
“Well don’t be, I'm fine.”
“I’m really not good at this, should I call Luna?” Thought Uranus, and he almost flew away when some picked his interest.
“Since when do you read?”
