The Seven Pure Lights

Aphrodite

I close my eyes, allowing the warmth of my room to embrace me. I was stressed, I AM stressed, this world was falling apart and I'm running out of time to save it. My thoughts ran, someone's arms wrap around my waist, resting their head on my shoulder,

"Cybele, you're doing an awful job keeping Novus safe you do realize that right?" I sigh, tilting my head pink dreads fall in front of my face, a smirk grows against the beautiful woman's face, my head shakes,

"She's reckless Aphrodite, I can't stop her from doing what she wants." She gently moves her wonderful hair out of my face, cupping my face with her warm hands, her mouth opens delicately,

"Do you think Genitor would be pleased? 247 times you've failed, you were so close last time too." Genitor, the Creator of All, dead. Only for his name to be tossed around as if he was just a human. Younger Gods never knew him, but I did, he entrusted me with this, Aphrodite can't just spat his name out,

"Don't talk about The Father as if he is an object of manipulation, he is dead, the Spatium Creatura were reincarnated, I was put in charge of all of you." she giggles, her shoulders moved up and down each time,

"And I was put in charge of creating the image of Crystillians, his favorite race. So why is it you're letting his people die."

"I am not! It is the Unspoken who are causing this! They're just upset over what we've done!" I shouted at her, but she didn't flinch,

"You mean what you've done. The Crystillians worshipped you all those years ago and it scared you. That's the reason you did what you did, that's the reason why every couple generations pain is created." It wasn't my fault, it never was my fault!

"Aphrodite, why are you here. If it is to mock me then I will kindly ask you to leave." She scoffs grabbing my hand,

"I'm here to help obviously, I'm tired of hearing how good you're living. You're in a human form how good could your life be, I want to help. I want to be in a human form too." Her eyes sparkle a bright pink, I look away,

"If I start to accommodate to Gods wants, then everyone will start to be here." She lightly touches my cheek until our eyes meet,

"It's just me Bele." She pouts,

I pull away from her control, "That's exactly the problem. It's you, can you control yourself around Crystillians."

Aphrodite squeals, "They're so cute can you blame me? When you're the Goddess of Love how can anyone resist me?"

"What would you do if I let you stay here, how would Novus benefit from you helping her." Aphrodite huffs walking towards me,

"I would help her love life obviously. She needs it just being dumped and all."

I shake my head, "Novus needs time to herself. She needs to figure out who she truly is. That's why he dumped her."

Her hair seemed to jump up, her face turned deep red, "What?! You mean to tell me the perfect man is good on the inside? What about her Soulmate?" Aphrodite was clueless, clueless of everything,

"She doesn't like the ideas of Soulmates. Liam is just a friend that betrayed her."

She crosses her arms, "You're kidding! She's having a tough time in this reset and she has no one to be with either?" Did she really have no one? All the pupils, all the followers and yet she's still alone. No, that wasn't true,

"Actually, there may be someone that she likes right now."

Her eyes light up, "Someone I didn't put in her path?"
