Gates Of Olympus, No Looking Back Chapter 9
That thunderstorm didn't make Kyros back down.For a whole year after that, whenever the portal to Olympus opened, he would storm up like a madman.He was always covered in wounds. He dragged his lightning-scorched body up to my temple step by step.Almost every week, he stood at the bottom of the stairs all night.His blood stained the white marble. His begging voice shattered in the howling wind.But I never opened those doors for him. I didn't even give him a single glance of pity.I was no longer the mortal who left a warm light on for him on cold nights.I poured all my energy into reclaiming my divine power.I fully mastered the runes of stars, tides, and storms.In the summer, I threw myself into the abyss of Tartarus. I fought through hellfire and wraiths to burn away my last lingering weakness.In the winter, I walked into the freezing tundras. The biting blizzards polished my soul and reforged my unbreakable will.By the Pantheon Festival at the end of the year, I won the ult

I stepped into the Star Holy Pool of Mount Olympus. I washed away the last traces of mortal dirt.Brilliant divine light flowed back into my veins.I was finally the radiant Goddess of Stars again.I put on my magnificent robes woven with starlight.For three years, I never dared to wear anything scented, just to please his strict rules.Now, I bathed freely in Aphrodite's morning dew from the sea of flowers.The gods and nymphs cheered outside the temple to welcome me home.My heavy mortal body was completely stripped away. I felt free and light.In the mortal realm, I was the Chief Enchanter for seven years.Here, I took back my supreme divine authority over stars and enchantments.No one could ever make me compromise again.But my peace only lasted two days.On the second evening, the defensive barrier outside my temple roared.I walked out to the towering steps. I looked down coldly at the intruder.It was Kyros.The man who always hated magic liquor was now reeking of alcohol.The

Kyros's POVLess than a minute later, the comm-stone flashed blinding red.The Grand Elder's furious voice boomed through the magic link."Kyros! Have you completely lost your mind? Five years ago, Argus Panoptes tore out half your organs at the edge of the mountain! Do you remember how you forced the guild to save you? You threatened to leave the guild! Right in front of us, you swore a blood-oath on the River Styx!""You swore you would never step foot near Olympus again!"Of course I remembered.That cursed oath was still carved into my soul.Breaking an oath on the River Styx meant having my soul burned by hellfire.But right now, compared to losing Astraea forever, what was a stupid oath?"I don't care anymore," I said. My voice was hoarse and desperate. "Elder, please. You have to open the gate for me."Dead silence fell over the stone.Only the static of magic echoed in the cold air.A moment later, the Elder's voice turned freezing cold and sharp."Who are you putting on this d

Three hours later, night swallowed the city.I pushed open the door to the stone castle like a walking corpse.A biting cold wrapped around me immediately. There was no longer a warm light waiting for me.I took off my lion-skin cloak and reached for the coat rack by habit.When I looked up, my eyes locked onto the shrine.Our crystal statue used to sit there. It was the witness of our love.Now, there was only an empty spot.My breath hitched. I stumbled over to the cold forge.A few unburned crystal shards lay in the ashes.I slowly fell to my knees on the cold floor. With shaking hands, I scooped up the ashes and broken pieces.The sharp edges pierced my palms. Blood dripped between my fingers, but I felt no pain.The memories of eight years ago poured into my mind like poison.Back then, we hugged tightly after killing a monster.I held her face, looked into her eyes, and swore an oath. I told her that once I became a Master Hunter, I would take her to Artemis' Moonlight Springs ev

Kyros's POVInside Apollo's Healing Temple, a soul-tearing pain ripped through my chest.I could feel it clearly. Astraea was gone."Impossible." I shook my head hard. My fingers trembled uncontrollably.I rushed to the communication rune on the wall. I tried to reconnect with her."Astraea! Answer! Answer me!" I roared at the rune.Only a cold, robotic voice replied."Warning. This soul mark has been erased by divine decree."My eyes widened in disbelief. I forced all my magic into the rune.I didn't care if the magic backlash burned my veins. I didn't care if the edges of the rune started to crack from overload."She wouldn't leave," I mumbled, staring at the dead stone. My voice shook violently. "We agreed to do our vow ceremony tomorrow! She promised me!""Kyros, the magic is too loud. My wound hurts again," Lyris whined weakly from her bed.I didn't hear a word she said.A blind panic gripped my heart. I could barely breathe.I smashed through the temple doors and whistled for my

That night, Kyros actually came home.It was a miracle for the past three years.He pushed the door open and immediately looked at the shrine.Seeing the empty table, he froze."Where is the crystal statue?" He sounded panicked."It fell and broke."He looked at the ashes in the forge and relaxed. He put his cloak aside and took out a cheap box."I didn't have time to get your gift yesterday. Today is our three-year anniversary. Here is a crystal necklace. Happy anniversary."I took the box. It still had the merchant's stamp from the Athena Square flea market on it.He didn't even bother to hide the cheap mark.I opened it. Inside was a cloudy, cheap crystal pendant. The chain was already tarnishing.I gave a bitter smile.I already had two of these necklaces in my jewelry box. He bought them before to "make up" for things."Thank you." I set the box aside.Obviously, Lyris's vision reminded him of our anniversary. He just grabbed this trash from the street market to brush me off.Kyro
