"Sevance met you since he was a child" Metis said while we're already in their dinning table. "you might forgot the kid you saved two decades ago in the shore.. because of wild animals chased him until he reached the edge and gladly you noticed someone needs a help." she saying this that full of sincerity.
"Wait, I still don't get anything" I'm still confused of what's going on. "if you're the grandma of Sev" I stopped and look at Sevance that sitting beside me "meaning Sevance's Mother is immortal"
"His Mother is my daughter Athena" she said that makes me surprised even more. "if you will ask me how since everyone knows that Athena has only one parent that produced by Zeus.. the god just swallowed me just to own my daughter and as the decades goes by, Zeus let me live again."
Still surprised from what's I'm hearing right now.
"Why you so shocked? I told you I already solved your worries even before incase you fall in love with me now" he teasing me again so I elbow his stomach but not that hard.
"You said you didn't meet your Mother because she died after she gave birth to you?" I looked to his entire soul "you lied to me!"
"Oh wait, don't accuse me that quick!" he defend and faced me "I'm saying the truth since I've never really get a chance to see Athena again after she gave birth to me, well, we had conversation few times before but that was through our mind." he explained and he looks like he's saying the truth.
"Sevance is right, Xanthe. Athena sent me to this realm to take care of his child because she didn't want Sevance to feel that she abandoned him." Metis said.
"Is that the reason why you suddenly disappeared?" I asked and she nodded.
I came back to my senses and look at their wall clock "I need to go" it's almost my duty time.
It really takes time for me before I came back to my senses considering how I surprised I was knowing the truth behind Sevance's family tree.
As I came back to my assigned place, a one deity suddenly approaches me.
I bowed when her face were already cleared to my naked eyes.
"You breaking the rules now, Xanthe." it's goddess Artemis.
Of course she will know immediately considering she have the ability to watch our inside feelings.
I gulped upon seeing her eyes that looking to my soul "my apologies, my goddess. Please forgive me once more and I'll never do it again." I kneeled.
"That will makes me unfair to other Nymphs, Xanthe." she looks like she doesn't have a choice but to punish me.
It's actually better if ever I'm only the one who will get the punishment.. I can't afford if Sevance get the punishment too.
"Before you punish me, can you guarantee my one last request goddess?" I said in a very polite way.
"What is it?"
"Could you please let the human live?" I'm pertaining to Sevance.
"What's his name?"
"It's Sevance.. Sevance Chwe, the Grandson of great Nymph Metis." I introduced.
"Sevance? The child of--"
Another deity suddenly appeared in front of us that made goddess Artemis stop from what she was saying.
"Yes, Artemis. That's my child." goddess Athena?
When the light disappeared to her whole body I already saw the face of goddess Athena, I knew it.
"Athena? What are you doing here?" goddess Artemis asked and they greet each other through bowing their heads.
"I was going to pick up this Nymph of yours, could you give Xanthe to me?" she answered.
I almost forgot that they are best friends.. except for having sibling relationship, they also have a good friendship.
Oh right! Athena is the Mother of the human whom I fell in love with.
"It's been two decades has passed since my child asked a wish to me saying if I could give this Nymph to him who saved his life." goddess Athena added, she was pertaining to Sevance, isn't she? "I'm still not doing anything to give you to my son yet the destiny already did their job." she said that while smiling like she won something.
She grabbed my hand and supports me to stand.
"But rules are rules, Athena." goddess Artemis.
"Don't make our friendship ruin just because of this, Artemis." the smile of Athena already gone as she was saying this.
Goddess Athena is the goddess of battle strategy, and wisdom. She knows how to fight and has wise strategy in the battlefield, so if Artemis doesn't let what she wants then this will end to fight to each other.
"I just don't want Xanthe to leave my forest Athena because I also considered her as one of my friend." Artemis having a teary eyes by now as she looked at me "if I will let you get Xanthe it was like I also lose my trusted companion."
"What? You already ready to punish her just earlier, don't lie in front of me." Athena looks like losing her patience already.
"I'm not actually going to punish her, Athena."
"My greetings, goddesses." someone suddenly appeared behind of us and I was shocked by knowing who it is.
"Sevance?!" It was me "what are you doing here?" I asked in disbelief.
"Saving my queen little Nymph?" is he serious?! "goddess Athena." he said and he bowed.
"I'm happy to see you again, my son." Athena greeted her back.
"Goddess Artemis." he also bowed to her and same goes to Artemis as she greeted her back "you will not lose Xanthe" Sev added.
I stiff and look at him "what are you saying?" I whispered to him, I'm confused.
He just ignored me and he was just looking at Artemis, we are all waiting to what he will say, even his mother doesn't have an idea either "I'm willing to be a Nymph too."
And from that, we were all shocked.
"Just let me and my Xanthe to fall in love to each other." he look so confident, I'm wonder what goddess will response to this "Mother?" Sev looks like seeking a help through his Mother now.
"Artemis, let my child get what he wants.. it's a little favor though." Athena already joined his child to convince the goddess and she looks like doesn't have any choice.
I'm just literally standing here and doesn't dare to speak while they were having a conversation and decision as well.
Honestly, if Athena and Sevance didn't went here and save me? It's actually fine to me since I know I disobeyed my goddess' rule but I'm more glad that they saved me and now Sev are willing to be one of us.
Based from what Metis and Athena were saying earlier about how I saved Sevance when he was a child, it was actually my fault why that wild animal chased him. I'll confess this to him in the future, I'll just find a good timing to say it.
Ever since that happened, I noticed Sevance often visits here and looks like he was waiting for something or finding someone. This is our forest of course I'll really noticed it.
