The Old man’s laughter e hiked through the Cave and Gaya watched.
She was used to his laughter; it never really resulted in anything anyway.
“Did you have fun telling everyone that I am dead?”
“No, of course not.” She frowned, feigning to be hurt. “I love you too much to find amusement in such silly games.” Then a smile snaked up her lips. “But I did have fun in them believing it!” She squealed. “So much crying, so much grieving. They were devastated that your body was lost too. So much of everything.” She laughed so much, she was crying. She has to wipe her tears away. “I even made more enemies for Thanatou. They all joined his mother’s war against him. He would never know it was me, they would never know. But you, my Moon, know it all, and here you are useless to tell.” She ended with a smile.
“I know our story too, do you remember?” He asked and started telling their tale.
