I froze and then searched the room for the source of the voice.
I can't believe I have to do this all over again,the voice sounded annoyed.Come on, V; hasn't anything come back to you yet?
“Who are you?” I whispered.
I'm in your head,it said.So, you can talk to me with your thoughts and not freak out the Sun God.
All right,I thought.Who are you?
I'm Alaric, the Consciousness of the Void.
The Void?
It's the place where Atlantean and human souls go after death. Never mind; that's not important now.
Atlantean?
Right; I forgot that Aion changed your history before you learned anything about the Gods,Alaric mused.Okay, real fast; the Gods come from Atlantis. They are an advanced race; both magically and technologically. They used their knowledge to trick humans into believing that they were gods.
“Atlantis?” I forgot and whispered aloud. “No fucking way.”
Yes; let's move on,Alaric said impatiently.Your past was changed and that altered your present; yours and a lot of other people's. All of this knowledge you're receiving about people you don't know is your memories trying to surface. You must concentrate on those memories, Vervain. Your old life is slipping away. This is the third time Aion has changed your past, and every attempt has pushed your true path further away.
Who's Aion? I don't remember him.
Cause you've only seen him in your altered timelines,Alaric huffed.He's Zeus' son, and just like his father, he's a supreme dick. He wants revenge on you for something you did to Zeus. So, he teamed up with Nyx and changed history. Nyx mainly wants Hades to suffer, so in every new timeline, she has killed Persephone, but Aion is after you. He wants you to lose all of your husbands and your magic. Then, you won't be able to hurt his father.
Did you just say husbands; as in plural?
Of course, that's what you focus on,he huffed.But yes; husbands, plural, and Re is only your fiance.
But we are meant to be together?I pressed.
Of course, you are; that's why you connected so quickly.
And why we experienced love so suddenly.
Yes,he confirmed.
How do I know that you're not tricking me? You could be anything or anyone; I could even be losing my mind and talking to myself.I glanced at my spellbooks; wondering if there was a spell to regain sanity.
Fine. We don't have a lot of time, but I understand. Talk to Hades; tell him that Nyx murdered Persephone and see what he says. He doesn't know it yet, but if you point him in Nyx's direction, he can find proof. Will that be enough to prove my intentions as well?
I suppose. But I don't know Hades.
Your man does; ask Re to take you to the Greek Underworld. Tell him about me, if you like. He may feel better once your instant affection is explained.
“All right, I will,” I said out loud.
“You will what?” Re walked in at the perfect time.
I'm still here if you need me.
Thanks.
“This is going to sound crazy,” I said.
“In light of everything that's happened lately, I'm not sure that it will,” Re countered. “What's wrong?”
