~Chapter 12~

He shot up from his king-size bed, His body, and clothes riddle with sweat. He slowed down his breathing as he clenched the quilt sheet.

[Another Nightmare] He thought to himself. He placed his hands on his head, breathing in and out his stress. He stretched his arm to his bed side to grab a goblet of wine, but instead it was given to him.

Diysus lifted his head and was immediately met with Bunasis eyes. He sighed at her presence.

"What do you want?" He asked, pouring down the Golden Nectar down his throat. He didn't stop till the cup was empty.

"It is not a Nightmare Diysus, or else it would be Zahohr that would be here, but here I am"

"Yep, Here you are, Unfortunately" He stood up from his bed. He was clad with only a long cotton pants. He moved around Bunasis like she wasn't there at all.

He grab a large jug filled with Golden Nectar and left the room. There were mermen guards stationed outside his door, who bowed to greet him as he passed.

He drank the Nectar directly from the jug, mermen, and mermaids passed him, greeting him as they did so. Diysus left the build and headed to another one just beside it.

Diysus finally arrived at his destination. The surrounding area was without water. A mermaid stood outside holding a towel and a bath kit, He collected it from her and muttered a thank you, before entering the building.

The bath house is called Crystal Oasis Bath House, and it was designed personally for Diysus the God of Sea and the underwater kingdom.

The exterior of the Crystal Oasis has a grand facade features towering, ivory-colored marble columns adorned with intricate craving of aquatic creatures and swirling waves.

The heart of the Crystal Oasis is a series of interconnected pools, each more extravagant than the last. The pools are carved from the finest marble and adorned with shimmering tiles that mimic the colors of precious gemstones. There are three pools in total.

First the Crystal Lagoon-Is a massive, crystal-clear pool surrounded by lush, tropical plant, that gives a serene for relaxation. Second, the Aqua Sanctum- it is a warm pool infused with healing herbs and minerals, perfect for soothing tired muscles and tired mind.

And last, pool is the Moonlit Grotto-is an ethereal underground pool illuminated by the softly glowing crystals that mirror the night sky, creating a magical atmosphere.

Just above on the rooftop was a Garden Retreat. It was for Diysus use, when he wanted to see the full view of the kingdom, or when he wanted to wine and dine with a guest.

The serene oasis comes with a panoramic view, with lush greenery and fragrant blossoms, creating an idyllic backdrop or relaxation and reflection.

The three pools all have a connecting stair that leads to the Rooftop Garden Retreat.

Diysus opened the doors to the Aqua Sanctum and Bunasis followed him from behind, much to his dismay.

"Stop following me Bunasis" Diysus said with little to no strength nor passion. He really just wanted her off his tail.

Literally. He began unbuttoned his pants, but Bunasis didn't pay mind to it as she also began pulling her clothes.

"Let's go to the Crystal Lagoon" She said, pulling his arm and dragging his naked body towards the door. He pulled his arm roughly away from her. This made her fly into the pool with a big splash.

She came out of the pool, wiping the water away from her face. She slapped the water harshly at him, Diysus sat at the edge of a large pool and stared at her.

A mischievous smirk appeared on his face, he turned legs into tail and his hands turned web. He lifted his heavy, blue tail and slammed it back into the water.

This created a big splash that took Bunasis along with it. Diysus let out an amusing laugh as he ridiculed Bunasis the more. He made the water spin, increasing the tempo second by second.

Bunasis was getting really dizzy from being inside the swirling water for too long. Diysus just kept on laughing, finding the whole situation funny.

Moments passed by, and Diysus became bored by his antics "Oh, I need to bathe" He said with a smile as he dropped the Bunasis and the water, Purposefully drowning Bunasis in it.

Finally, the water settled and a raging Bunasis emerged from it.

Diysus rolled his eyes at her. "I see you want to drown some more" he threatened.

Bunasis bit her lip and folded her arms as she sent a menacing glare his way, but he paid no mind to it. "You are way meaner than Sephtis"

"Then why don't you go visit him, You go there frequently, don't you?"

"Because he is a better listener than you" The male only rolled his eyes as his tail and webbed hands turned human again.

"There is nothing to listen to" He said, biting his lips as he looked away from the Dream goddess.

Sinking deeper into the pool, Diysus chose to ignore her and her bothersome word. Noticing his chosen antics, Bunasis decided to push it again.

"You know why I am here—"

"I don't, Leave immediately" he interrupted. He was really starting to get peeved with her.

She sighed to herself [All these stupid men. Going around denying their mate]. She thought to herself, she felt like slicing and cutting off Diysus gills.

"If you are thinking of killing me, it would be better to wipe your murderous intention off your fucking face" he stated coming out of the pool.

He wrapped a robe around his waist and headed up the stairs to the rooftop garden retreat. Bunasis huffed and puffed, she pouted too, Diysus indifference is worse than Sephtis denial.

Bunasis also came out of the pool minutes after Diysus did. She noticed that Diysus had also pulled out and left a robe for her to use.

"So he has his nice moments?" Following Diysus, she got up to the roof garden.

Diysus stood by the edge with a goblet in his hands as he watched his people go around their daily lives around the kingdom.

"You seriously won't tell me what is going on with you or what your dream is about?"

"Bunasis how many times do you need me to tell you, it's not a dream"

"SO WHY AM I HERE?!" She yelled, sounding annoyed and frustrated. All Diysus had done to her since she arrived was toss her around, nearly drowned her, and also ignored her. So yes, she had every reason to be annoyed with him.

"You tell me" Diysus stated, drowning down his wine. Some wine slipped down his lip. He twirled his tongue to catch the wine.

"Diysus, I am just trying to do my job"

"Why you are good at it"

They were going back and forth with their "At least tell me what the dream is about?" she asked. This time, her soft voice sounded firm and determined.

How can she be the Goddess of sleep and dream and not be able to translate dreams or give her fellow gods a peaceful sleep.

"THAT I EXACTLY WHAT I AM SAYING!!!!! IT IS NOT A DREAM BUT A FUCKING MEMORY!!" Diysus yelled. His wine goblet fell to the ground, making a clanking sound.

He felt agitated and anxious. Dread filled his core like an overflowing gush of euphoria.

He stumbled back, holding his hair. "It is a stupid memory that I can't remember" Bunasis eyes grew wide with shock. [He lost his memory? How? And why didn't he say anything]? She thought to herself.

"And Ovther isn't available to help?" she asked.

Diysus didn't say anything, he just held unto her shoulders, his shoulders quaked as he took in air. He was muttering something to himself that Bunasis couldn't here.

"What did you say?" she asked as she tried pulling him in a hug. But he flinched and pulled away from her, like he was repulsed by her.

Holding his hair, he looked at Bunasis dead in the eyes, "My memories were taken from me, I don't remember when, I don't remember how. But it was taken" he said hoarsely. He voiced filled with pain.

"Bunasis do you know what it means for a God to lose it memory?"
