Chapter Thirty-Nine

When all else fails, love will find a way…

Unsure of how long I had laid on the beach, finding myself drifting to another place. A future that I so badly sought after. Watching my children run and play in fields of flowers as Sebastian runs after them, laughing all the while. My heart was filled with so much joy it felt it was going to burst out of my chest. When suddenly I was reminded of where I was. Standing to my feet, searching around me, they were all sitting there beside me. Each one of them coming up slowly, kneeling at my feet. Sebastian stands, smiling at me. My mother and father standing away from all of us, now everyone else kneeling to Sebastian and me. It was something I had never dreamed would happen. Forgiveness overflows my heart for my parents. It was no longer my burden to carry.

“Please stand.” I tell them all barely speaking the words as the tears came again.

Hades comes down the balcony with Medusa gripping his arm, smiling at each of us. Sebastian’s eyes follow his father as we all watch, as his father goes to my father and mother, helping them stand to their feet. Medusa makes her way to us, bowing down, and then standing tall in front of the two of us.

“Your father always knew that you would be the man, the god, you were supposed to be.” She takes Sebastian’s hand in hers.

“Thank you.” He tells her, bowing his head at her.

My mother and father stand in silence, staring at me. My dad moves his arm around her, pushing her to the two of us. Her face drops as she gets closer. She had been defeated and it showed. The power had overcome her for so long that she didn’t know how to act. All she had wanted was to become the goddess she knew she could have been. I wanted her to be happy, but not at the cost of my life. Somewhere deep inside of my heart, all I had ever wanted was true happiness. Not to be the goddess they were bowing to, but to be myself. Maybe this icy heart of mine was finally melting?

“Selene…” My father’s words were enough.

“I know…” I speak with such solace that I had hoped he could hear it in my voice.

My mother still wouldn’t look me in the eyes, but as she stood still, the tears began to fall on her tattered dress. Her tears spoke to me. Even though no words were said in that moment, I knew somewhere deep down inside of her icy heart, she loved me. There didn’t need to be words spoken on this day, the world had just begun anew. Patting them both on the shoulders, I move past them making my way to Hades.

“I suppose they can stay with you.” I glance my head back at my parents.

“No… Wait…” My mother speaks up, finally.

“Yes. They will go wherever you want them to.
