Still Ten Steps Ahead

Hypnos's face was pale white, and he looked at Poseidon, and mouthed the words 'I'm sorry.' But, it didn't change anything.

Zeus knew.

He knew, that Poseidon was in my head, he knew he was the one dealing with what was supposed to be my nightmares. And, he was there for the kiss. Anyone with eyes, could tell there was something there.

Zeus cleared his throat.

"Did you honestly think you could get away, with trying to turn against me brother?"

Back in The Underworld, Ambrosia finally got to speak with Athena one on one.

"Athena! I-I've missed you." Ambrosia smiled shyly, and blushed. Athena smiled back, and took Ambrosia's hands. making her blush even more.

"I've missed you too."

She replied, before pulling her into a longing hug. Ambrosia felt home, sure she loved being with her best friend Ambrose, and she enjoyed my company, but Athena made her feel at home. And honestly, isn't that one of the most important things in life? Finding who or what makes you feel at home, and holding onto it?

"Athena..I have to tell you something."

Ambrosia sighed. Athena smiled. "I know Ambrosia, I know, you're in love with me." Ambrosia's eyes widened.

"You..you do?"

Athena nodded, as she kept her hands on her shoulders.

"I am goddess of wisdom darling. Did you think you could hide it from me?"

Ambrosia smiled. "I guess that was foolish hmm?"

Athena chuckled, but said nothing. A few moments of awkward silence passed, before Ambrosia cleared her throat.

"What does that mean for us? Do you..feel the same? Because I understand if you don't. You're the goddess of wisdom after all, what would you want with a simple nymph-"

Athena cut Ambrosia off with a kiss. Taking the nymph, by complete surprise, her eyes widened, before a huge smile grew on her face. Athena smiled in return, as she cupped Ambrosia's face.

"I don't know how I feel about love for sure. But, I know how I feel about you, and it's powerful, and deep. And..I don't wanna live without you." She explained. Ambrosia blushed.

"I'm so happy to hear you say that."

Athena nodded, and chuckled. "I'm glad to hear myself say it, if we're being completely honest. I am truly sorry it took me so long to speak up. I maybe the goddess of wisdom, but I tend to make mistakes, just as everyone else does. And for that, I apologize. I want to make it up to you."

Ambrosia smiled softly. "You already have. Now, we need to help Damara, then..we can move on, be together. Be happy."

Athena nodded, and cleared her throat before turning her attention back to her research.

"Right. Well, Zeus just found out about Poseidon and Hypnos's deal. Everything is falling into place." She explained.

Ambrosia nodded. "Is Damara gonna get hurt?" She asked nervously. Athena sighed.

"Unfortunately. But, sacrifice is inevitable if we want this to work. Everything will work out in her favor though trust me. Everything will be how it's supposed to be."
