Chapter 18
Alysia in coma
At Lystra
Cynthia and Diana are seen talking at midnight in the other world(deities world)
Diana: Cynthia, my dear, what is it, talk to your mother
Cynthia: it's nothing
Diana: Common, I'm your mother
Cynthia: You Know you are not my birth mother, I just decided to be fostered by you
Diana: Whichever way, we are still family
Cynthia: Whatever. I will get Duren, You get your rule, Thanatos takes over and every god and goddesses for themselves. Don't disturb me. (Walks away)
Diana: We are both goddesses of different kinds but since you have chosen me to Foster you, you are still under me for now, whether you like it or not!
At Oberon
Everyone is watching Alysia who has been in a coma since morning. And by everyone, I meant, King Klein, Queen Odessy, Postinur and Lydia
King Klein: Why weren't you there on time. You were to protect her!!
Postinur: I didn't know that she wasn't in her room, your highness, she even left her warding off bracelet behind
King Klein: Whichever way, you would still protect her, it's your duty and destiny. You shouldn't fail in it!!
Queen Odessy: He tried his best. You shouldn't yell at him. How could he have known that she lied about being ill? It was even a miracle that he met her on time.
How did you even Know she was in trouble?
Postinur: I just felt it
Queen Odessy: That's good. Thank goodness you saved her life.
King Klein: What really happened there?
Postinur: Um, The goddess of moon, Cynthia almost killed her because she went to confront her
King Klein: About what?
Postinur: Em, your highness, it's a long story (scratches his head)
King Klein: Spill it!
Postinur: Cynthia got married to My brother, King of the Lystra kingdom. And it angered her, making her want to fight Cynthia. Because Aly here, loves him
King Klein: What?!? How can this be? How did they fall in love?
Lydia: (clears her throat in fear) I will say this myself (her head bowed) we did snuck out to Lystra and I guess that's how she fell in love with him. But it was only once!
King Klein: What?
Lydia: I'm sorry, your highness
Queen Odessy: But if they only met once, the love shouldn't be this strong, especially as she's just beginning her teenage years.
King Klein: It definitely isn't love but obsession. And she would have killed herself while fighting under obsession. Imagine!
Postinur: Please let's not talk about that now. Let's talk about waking her up.
King Klein: Yes. Since she hasn't woken up since and we have waited the whole day, I will send for the seer first thing in the morning
Postinur: That's good, your highness
King Klein: Yes. The Queen and I will be leaving for our room now. Tomorrow holds a lot of things for us
Watch my daughter and Lydia sleep here with her
Lydia and Postinur: Yes, your highness
Lydia: Goodnight uncle and aunty
Queen odessy: Sweet dreams. (They leave)
Lydia: If obsession could make sisi fight a goddess, I wonder what love would make a person do.
Postinur: Hmm
Lydia: You are a good guy. You still allowed her fall for another guy, worse still your brother, even when you love her much
Postinur: I'm a ghost, Duren's human and so is she
Lydia: So? Isn't a goddess marrying a mortal? What's wrong with that?
Postinur: That is different Lydia. At Least they can feel each other and even romance and consulate
Lydia: All I can say to you, Postinur, is that you shouldn't give up on your love. Don't!
Postinur: I've heard Lydia, thanks for the advice
Lydia: Don't mention (postinur smiles)
Postinur: She's not even moving. I wonder what she's dreaming about
Lydia: Dreaming? She's in coma
Postinur: I thought when a person is in coma they dream, like it's a long sleep
Lydia: Yes, it's a long sleep but they don't dream, when they wake, they won't even know that they were in coma
Postinur: Nice.
Lydia: Yeah
Postinur: How do you know?
Lydia: I've been In one before, when my only brother died, leaving me as the only child of my parents
Postinur: So you are two children? No one really knows about this
Lydia: Yes, just my nuclear family and uncle and Aunt here. It's a family secret
Postinur: What resulted in your brother's death?
Lydia: Ox pos
Postinur: Oh, I'm so sorry about that.
Lydia: it's fine (Yawns) I'm very sleepy. (Hope on the bed) kisses Aly. Goodnight Aly. Goodnight Postinur (closes her eyes)
Postinur: same. (Lydia goes to dreamLand and Postinur seats on the sofa to get guide them
The next day arrives, the seer was sent for and he went to see Alysia in her room
Seer: Alysia is not well. Cynthia really dealt with her. She's going to be in coma for a long time but she will wake before her coming of age, that's a surety
King Klein: How sure?
Seer: Very sure. Because the prophecy must happen with her being stable and strong,and alive
King Klein: Thank the almighty then. But when she wakes, how will we make her stop going to Lystra?
Seer: Postinur will have to watch her. She would still be in love with Duren. He is part of her prophecy
Postinur: He is one of the lovers in the prophecy?
Is he the one to help her fulfill her prophecy or is he the one leading her to her destruction?
Seer: He's one of the lovers in the prophecy but being the good one or the bad one is what I can't tell
All we have to do is to protect Alysia and watch her closely. Sooner or later, the other lover will emerge
King Klein: Hmm. But I thought the prophecy was to begin after her coming of age.
Seer: It will begin at any time if the prophecy dim fits. Alysia won't even be waking up anytime soon. She will be up a few days before her coming of age
Klein: May the Almighty help us
