Regret
On Mount Olympus, one law is ironclad: a god must never fall in love with a mortal. But Aresios, the God of War and heir to the King of the Gods, bound his very soul to mine. For me, he endured ninety-nine bolts of divine lightning and knelt before the Olympian altar for three days and three nights. Ichor soaked his armor, yet he smiled and kissed my lips. "Elara, don't be afraid. I want only you." The gods finally relented, on one condition: he had to leave behind a pure-blooded divine heir. After that, the words I heard most from Aresios were, "Just wait a little longer." The first time, it was to wait while he bedded another goddess. He and Cassia, the Goddess of Fate, lay together for thirty nights, until his golden ichor quickened in her womb. The second time, he told me to wait. Their first child was a girl, unable to inherit his divine mantle. The gods demanded a son. So he lay with Cassia for another ninety-nine nights, until she once again conceived a divine child. Just when I thought the ordeal was over, their newborn daughter was struck by Hydra's venom. The entire divine realm was convinced I had done it. As I was thrown into a cold bronze cage by the river Cocytus, Aresios stood outside the door, his eyes crimson. "You know what Hydra's venom does to an infant god. Why would you harm our daughter?" That one word. Our daughter. I was too numb to feel the pain. When the bronze cage door opened again, I unclenched my blood-drenched fists. This time, I would not wait.

Tears of a Mortal, Regret of a God Chapter 20
[Elara's Perspective]I listened quietly, my expression unchanging, and said nothing.Only after Oceanus had finished his words of repentance and was looking at me with an almost pleading gaze did I finally speak."I will not forgive you for what happened in the past, but I will not hold onto the hatred either. A mortal's life is but a breath. I have my own free life to live, and I do not wish to waste what little time I have on such matters."Oceanus fell silent for a long time after hearing this, then let out a long sigh. He then produced a pool of water, shimmering with a faint silver light, from within his wide divine robes."This is water from the Spring of Mnemosyne," Oceanus said in a low voice, "the Goddess of Memory who presides over all that is remembered. Reflected in this spring are all of Aresios's hidden thoughts and regrets since the day you departed."I stared at the pool of water, stunned for a moment, before finally extending my hands to receive it.The silver light s

[Elara's Perspective]Soon, Aresios and I were urgently transported by a celestial horse chariot to the healing temple on the border of the divine realm. The moment we disembarked, several high-ranking life-healers lifted the mangled form of the war god onto a jade couch and rushed toward the inner sanctum.The divine doors boomed shut, and a ward lit up. My head was spinning. Guided by a nymph, I removed my chaos-tainted clothes, and then I could hold on no longer. My vision went black, and I collapsed onto the white jade steps."This mortal has fainted!"When I woke up again, a day and a night had passed. I learned from the nymph attending to me that Aresios's divine core had been saved, and he had been moved to the tranquil Starlight Spirit Chamber.Unfortunately, he had expended too much of his power by descending to the mortal realm, and the chaos stinger had pierced his very essence. When he might awaken was unknown.Perhaps he would miraculously awaken tomorrow, or perhaps he wo

[Elara's Perspective]I followed the child's desperate gaze and saw that he was clutching not only a few broken wooden carvings, but also an old wooden charm glowing faintly, which had fallen into the dirt under the bed.I suddenly remembered that this child's mother had died long ago at the hands of a monster. This amulet was the last memento she had left him in this world.I made a split-second decision. I shoved the child into the arms of a priest, telling him to run. I promised to gather the last of the items and follow right behind. I swore to the child that I would bring the amulet back, safe and sound.After the priest had left with the child, I dropped to the ground, grabbed the amulet and the scattered carvings, and stuffed them into my cloth bag.Just as I slung the bag over my shoulder and was about to get up, boom! A massive chaos rift tore through the stone wall.Time suddenly froze. The fear of death gripped my throat. In my vision, there was only the murky, viscous chaos

Why have I come looking for you.Aresios wanted to ask me himself.Why did you suddenly leave me? Why did you leave without a word of farewell? Why did even Oceanus try to stop my search?Most importantly, he wanted to ask if I still loved him.But when he met my dead, empty eyes, the words caught in his throat, and he could not force them out.After a long time, Aresios finally spoke, his voice hoarse. "I came to take you back."He told me everything. He told me how he had seen the true faces of Cassia and Hespera, how he had personally banished them from the divine court and stripped them of their divine names.He told me of his own belated fury, and that of the elder gods.He told me of the past few months, of his breakdown and despair as he frantically tore through countless realms in search of me.I clutched the wicker basket of herbs in my hand, desperately trying to suppress the uncontrollable trembling that wracked my body.This belated truth cruelly ripped open the scars on my
