章節 7: Pain
Diana could now be currently seen in her room. She was looking at the beautiful night sky through her window as she watched the stars above competing against each other as though they were trying to prove on her on who could shine the brightest.
The food that she brought to her room was currently in her arms as she watched the stars shining in the night sky.
With a sad smile, Diana mumbled in a low voice. "Hello brother... I guess you're now up above there huh... I knew so because mother once told me that the stars above were actually the fallen sisters of Themyscira watching all over us. And since you're my brother, you must have been one of them now, right?
Lowering her head, Diana held the bowl of food that she brought and layed it by the window.
Looking up again, she brightly smiled as she cheerfully said. "Take this as an offering brother. I tried to ate double the amount earlier just for you, because I believe that even though you are now gone far from this world, we would always be connected to each other. I am your big sister after all! So if I enjoy the food, you would enjoy it too".
Diana smiled while looking at the stars above the sky.
Amazons doesn't need to eat to live. As long as they are in the island, they are immortals. Immortals in the sense that they would never die of old age, but once gravely wounded, they would surely die.
Even though they indeed never need food or water to live, that doesn't prevent them from enjoying the luxury of food like a normal person.
Diana ate double the amounts of food earlier as she remembered that her brother never once got the chance to eat this world's food before passing away, so she ate relentlessly in her little brother's place as she believed that no matter where her brother currently is, they would always be connected to each other.
Today was Diana's first time on having a sibling and the thought of it excite her to no end earlier, but that excitement was rather short live when she found out that her brother already died.
As a sister and a family, she thought that her little actions earlier and offering the food that she brought to her room was the least that she could do to her now deceased brother.
*Creak*
The sound of her room's door being opened reached her ears. Looking back behind her, she saw Hippolyta by the door, looking at her with a smile.
Smiling happily, Diana ran to her mother and gave her a hug while greeting her at the same time. "Hi mother!"
"Hello Diana". Hippolyta softly replied as she stroked Diana's smooth silky black hair.
Looking up at her mother, Diana asked. "Are you going to tell me a story now mother?"
Hippolyta smiled as she nodded. She then ushered Diana to go to her bed as she took out an old book by the bedside table.
Hippolyta was about to sit beside Diana's bed when she suddenly saw the bowl of food layed on Diana's window in her peripheral vision.
She momentarily froze as guilt suddenly appeared on her face for a moment, but she immediately masked it away as she wore a smile and sat beside the bed and proceeded to tell Diana the story about the Olympian Gods.
A couple of minutes later. Hippolyta finished telling the story to Diana, while Diana smiled contently as she prepared to sleep.
Hippolyta softly smiled as she kissed Diana's forehead while telling her goodnight.
Hippolyta was about to leave Diana's room, when Diana suddenly asked a question that made her froze for a moment.
"Mother? What's the name of my brother?"
Hippolyta opened her mouth and closed it immediately after as she felt that the question was rather heavy to her for some reason.
Diana waited patiently as she saw her mother now mumbling to herself, and with a sigh, Hippolyta finally spoke with a distant smile.
"Mixalis. Mixalis was his name Diana".
Hearing that, Diana beamed. "Mixalis! Meaning Godlike! Hehe~ sounds good!".
Hippolyta smiled to her daughter as she softly said while covering her with her blanket. "Sleep now, Diana".
Diana nodded as she then closed her eyes with a smile plastered on her face. She etched the name of her brother inside her mind, promising that she would never forget about him.
Hippolyta smiled once again as she then left Diana's room. Thinking about her son that was now deep in the dungeon, Hippolyta's smile transformed into a sad one.
(A/N: I seriously contemplated whether I would name the MC Kratos or Mixalis. But I eventually decided on Mixalis as this was his greek name given by his mother, and he obviously wouldn't use that for personal reasons.
So he would soon go by the name of Max rather than Mixalis. If I used Kratos, then the MC would still choose another name other than that as he would rather create his name than use the name that was given to him by his mother.)
...
Deep in the dungeon, one could hear the desperate sounds of a crying baby seemingly deep in pain.
On one of the cells deep in the dungeon where the sound of the crying was the loudest.
One could see a baby crying painfully in a now rather hoarsed voice. The baby looks like it was now 6 months of age judging by how big it already was compared from a newborn baby.
So one could really not believe that this crying baby was actually born just a few hours ago.
The baby cried desperately as it held its twisted arm in pain. Wounds that it probably got from skidding through the ground appeared all over its naked back, front and face as it slowly bled.
The pain from its twisted limbs was making it cry desperately, as though hoping for someone nearby to notice it and help it from its current situation. The stinging pain that the baby felt from all over its body was also not helping as it only made the baby cry even more desperately until its voice went rather hoarsed.
{{Ding}}
{{Host was given the name Mixalis}}
Status:
Name: Mixalis
A loud notification sound resounded inside the baby's mind. The baby gritted its protruding teeth that hasn't fully grown yet as a way to endure the pain from all over its body.
Looking at the blue-framed hologram inside its mind, all its hope was cruelly crushed to pieces as the baby expected the notification was a way out of its current situation.
Despair overwhelmed the baby's face as the pain on its body keep on reminding it about all of this being real.
Tears gushed out of the baby's face as it hoarsely cried. Not even bothering on crying as loud as it can be like earlier.
The baby appeared to be rather intelligent than normal as it showed various emotions in a short amount of time.
Despair and hopelessness was just one of the expressions that could be seen on the baby's face, as earlier, it wanted nothing more but to be saved. Now, the baby wanted nothing more but its immediate death.
================================
(A/N: Before all of you went and go rather ballistic, I just wanted to say that I would post another chapter tomorrow so I could bring the time skip as fast as I can. Because just like you all, I also want to do the time skip. But all this dramas are important for the future development of the story so I could not just ignore and skip them all.
Also, I think some of you had some misunderstandings about the Demi-gods like Diana. So I would take this time to explain it much more clearly.
Yes, Diana was indeed smart although she was just a child. She indeed grow too in a very fast pace. But we are talking about maturity here.
As no matter how smart Diana could become, that doesn't mean she would suddenly become all mature compared to her age. Remember, Hippolyta raised Diana as a child, so naiveness was unavoidable.
Even when Diana explored the land of men, she was not really fully mature and still appear to be rather innocent and naive. Only when she experienced lot of things did she became the mature Diana that we all see in DC.
Why am I telling this? To let you all know about it as some of the readers were telling me that Diana should have not act childishly in the earlier chapters because she was a Demi-god and she grows up fast.
I am not telling you guys are wrong as some Demi-gods must have been indeed more mature at an earlier age, but Diana was raised by Hippolyta, and Hippolyta raised Diana as a child, so don't expect a fully mature two year old Diana, okay?
Also, give me your power stones!!!)
