"No son don't say anything. Let me heal you." Aphrodite shouted at Eros as she try even harder to heal him. "Mother!..." Eros shouted and then cough out more blood. "I want to tell you something really important and promise me you would listen." Eros said to his mother as he hold her hands. "....your feather are withering!" Aphrodite said to Eros as some of his golden feather falls from his back. ".... that's that's not important. Look, Dusa is not just Dusa alone." Eros said to Aphrodite. "She is... Also Soul." Eros said to her. "I know, my son. I know that her human form is actually princess Soul. The mortal girl i sent you to shot with your love arrows." Aphrodite laughed and said as tears flow down from her eyes. "....yes! That's she." Eros said and laugh, but laughs follow up with your strong cough. "Please take care of Soul or Dusa... Please do it for me." Eros said as she takes his last breath and slowly dies. "Eros! Eros!" Aphrodite scream in pain, and the noise of her scream wake Dusa up. 

"Eros?" Dusa said as she slowly opens her eyes and see Aphrodite holding the lifeless body of Eros in her arms. "Eros! Eros!" Dusa who have now started to turn back to Soul from the sight of Eros dead body shouted. "AHHHHH! Eros!" Dusa shouted, and use her angrily use her magic to break the magic she was trapped in. "AHHHHH! Eros!" Dusa shouted and hold her head as Eros of her and Eros crashes through her mind. "Eros! Eros!" This time Souls voice comes out of Dusa's mouth and she stand up and see Eros lifeless body on the ground. "Eros! Eros!" Soul shouted Eros name as she runs towards him, and he heard her. "S...soul." Eros struggles to speak and stretch out his hands to her as she runs towards him. "Eros! Eros! My love." Soul said to Eros finally got to him and hold his hands. "....my love what happened to you?" Soul said as she hold Eros hands and examine his body while totally ignoring Aphrodite who was also close to Eros. "Who did this to you?" She ask him and tears began to drip down her face. "Don't.... don't cry!" Eros struggles to talk and clean soul the tears from her eyes. "They didn't let us be together, the gods don't want her to be together.... AHH! It's not fair." Soul shouted and more tears began to fall from her eyes, while Zadre who was now on the ground, bend down his head without saying anything.

"I am glad that i have the chance to see you one last time." Eros said as he holds Soul hands tightly. "The gods are unfair....why wouldn't they let us be together?!" Soul shouted again with tears falling down her eyes, and this provoke Aphrodite. "You!" Aphrodite said with a cold tone. "You dare blame the gods, but you are actually the cause of all this." Aphrodite shouted at Soul. "How...?" Soul wanted to say something but Aphrodite Interrupted her. "....just because of you or Dusa. My son ended up like this. You would die by my hands." Aphrodite said in anger and wanted to grab Soul with both of her hands, but Eros use his other hands and hold her garment. "Mother!.... don't do it!" Eros said. "Please don't kill....soul." Eros struggles to talk as little tears falls down from his eyes. "Eros!" Both Aphrodite and Soul said in Unison and tears fill there eyes. "I am so sorry my son." Aphrodite said and hold Eros hands again. "I love you mother." Eros said and then turn to Soul. "I will forever love you....Sou..." Eros tried to complete his words but he died before completing what he was about to say. 

"NO! NO! EROS!" Soul shouted as he died and slowly began to fade away. "No! Please don't leave me." Soul shouted with tears falling from her eyes as Eros faded particles fly away. "Eros! He have left me." Soul said and more tears burst out of her eyes. "My son. I have lot my only son." Aphrodite who was still in the ground said and more tears slide down her face. "My only son.... I killed my only son." Aphrodite quietly said and more tears falls from her eyes. "How didn't i see this coming.... How can i be so reckless....how can i kill my own son? What have i done." Aphrodite beat up herself and tears fall from her eyes. 

"We didn't even get to see each other properly." Soul said and try to hold her tears. "We didn't even have the change to visit the all seas of this world." Soul said as she open her eyes and saw a gotten feather. ".....i didn't even have the chance to tell Eros i love him too." Soul said and fall to the ground with more tears falling from her eyes. "I am sorry, if i am the cause of your death my love. I am really sorry." Soul said and cry even more while Zadre still continue standing without saying a single word. 

"Wait! That upper god just risk his life for me." Zadre finally say something as she mutter some words to himself. "Did he just?" Zadre said and stop talking. "No! Yes! No! Yes!" Zadre argues with himself. "They are all betrayers, no upper god will ever risk his life for mine." Zadre said. "No! Eros just sacrifice his own life for mine. I just lost my only cousin Because i was incompetent." Zadre said and knee on the ground while dropping his spear. "I am truly incompetent." Zadre said with saddest all over his face. "What is this?" Zadre ask himself as water falls down from his eyes. "...i am crying?" He ask himself and quickly swap away the tears from his eyes. "....they most be a way to bring him back. Yes! The mother of fate." Zadre said and stand up from the ground. 

"Stop! Crying. We can still bring Eros back." Zadre said to Aphrodite but she ignore him. "Didn't you hear what i just said? I said we can bring Eros back with the help of the mother of fate." Zadre shouted at Aphrodite and Soul heard him. "You! You were the cause of this." Soul shouted at Zadre and walk closer to him. "If you didn't kidnap me from my kingdom, Eros wouldn't have come looking for me and no of this would have happened." Soul shouted at Zadre as she beats his chest with her hands, while Aphrodite just stayed in the ground looking at them. "I know i....." Zadre wanted to explain but Soul Interrupted what he was about to say with a powerful slap. "He would still be alive if it wasn't for your kind." Soul shouted. "I hate all of you, and I hate you." Soul shouted with more tears dripping down her eyes. "....Do you really hate me Dusa?" Zadre said to Soul thinking that he's love charm will make Soul transform to Dusa again. " You dare call me that?" Soul shouted at Zadre and slap him even more. "Stop! Stop! Stop! Okay!" Zadre shouted at Soul and hold her palm. "Dusa it's me, it's Zadre." Zadre tried to make Soul remember him, but her grief and pain was too much that she can't remember. "I told you before, and i will tell you again. I am not Dusa!!" Soul shouted at Zadre and use her palm to slap him again, but this time she used some of Dusa's powers and it hits him hard.

"AHHHHH!" Zadre shouted as Soul slap send him flying and crashing into the ground. "How did she?" Aphrodite said after what Soul just did to Zadre caught her attention. "Maybe just maybe. We can..." Aphrodite said and stand up from the group and clean her tears. "I think i can summon the presence of mother with the help of that mortal." Aphrodite said again and walk towards Soul. 

"How... How did i just do that?" Soul ask herself, and examine her palms. "....did i just kill that demon?" She ask herself again, and try to spot Zadre if he was still alive. "AHHHHH! My head." Zadre shouted in pain as he holds his head. "How did that mortal?...... Did she just use Dusa powers on me?" Zadre said and he slowly gets up from the ground with the aid of his spear. ".... No....no. I can't let her use Dusa powers so freely." Zadre said after getting up from the ground. "....no I wouldn't let you take Dusa's powers for you own. Am really sorry Eros." Zadre said and fly straight to Soul. "What is he doing...." Soul panicked as she sees Zadre flying straight towards her. "Stop! Stop!" Soul shouted and pointed at palm at him hoping that she could stop him with her unknown powers. "I said stop!" Soul shouted again as she pointed at palm out noting worked, and Zadre was already coming closer to her. "I wouldn't let you use Dusa powers." Zadre shouted as she fly closer to Soul and stretch out his hand to grab her.

"STOP!" Aphrodite shouted at Zadre and used her magic to blast him before he could come closer to Soul and grab her. "What!!!" Zadre shouted after Aphrodite blast him with her magic, and it push him far away from Soul. "You really think that will stop me? That mortal girl have Dusa Powers and i won't let her keep it." Zadre said and pick up his swear and charges towards Aphrodite and Soul. "...wha.... what now?" Soul as Aphrodite. "Look!" Aphrodite said and walk towards zadre as she flys towards her. "What is she doing?" Zadre ask himself after seeing the way Aphrodite was walking towards him without conjuring any magic. "...Get out of my way!!" Zadre shouted and brought out his spear, but something strange suddenly happened. "Wait! I can't move. Why can't i move?" Zadre said to himself as he totally pause in mid air. 

So, Aphrodite was actually saying to spell when she was talking towards Zadre, and before he could hit her with his spear. The spell activated and he pause in mid air. Aphrodite stopped time, around Zadre.

"What.... Did you do to me you witch." Zadre struggles to talk when Aphrodite walk closer to him. "I should have killed you, but i don't think my Eros would have liked that." Aphrodite said as she walk around him. "Free me now!" Zadre shouted and his rage brought out fire around his body, but non of it was able to free him from the spell. "You will find that really impossible to break." Aphrodite said to him and Soul who now saw what going on walk closer to them. "You wouldn't be able to free yourself because i stopped time around you, and we all know that time can't be broken." Aphrodite said to Zadre. ".... AHH!" Aphrodite suddenly shouted and hold her head. "My only son is now dead because of you. "....so i will kill you to revenge him."  Aphrodite said as she resurrect the element and turn them into tiny needless which surrounded Zadre. "You can kill me... But that wouldn't change the fact that you were the one who killed your own Eros." Zadre said to Aphrodite. "A life for a life..." Aphrodite said and the needle around Zadre began to move closer to his body. "AHHHHH! Zadre shouted and struggles as some needles penetrated his skin and went straight into his body. 

"STOP!" Soul shouted at Aphrodite. "Please don't kill him." She added again. "....you dare speak in this matter?" Aphrodite said to Soul as she turn to her. ".... don't think that because my son loves you i will spare your life that easily. You store my worshippers back then remember." Aphrodite said to Soul and turn back to Zadre. "....when i am done Killing this one. You will be next." She said and move more needles into Zadre body, but he didn't shout out in pain. "....oh you want to hide your despair, i will make you bring out." Aphrodite said to Zadre and multiples the needles around him. 

She was about to use all of it on him, but Soul hold Aphrodite in her shoulder and she stop.

"I see you don't even learn from you son's death." Soul said to Aphrodite, but the mother of fate was the one who was using Soul's mouth. "What did you just say to me mortal." Aphrodite who was deeply hurt by what Soul just said to her turn back and ask. "I just said that you are worthless mother." The mother of fate said, and Zadre who was still trap in Aphrodite spell, looked at Soul in shock after hearing what just came out of her mouth. "You dare....." Aphrodite who eyes have now completely turn white, and also have conjure up a the elements around her said as she face Soul. ".... If my son didn't fell Inlove with you in the first place, non of this would have happen." Aphrodite said and she reform all elements into thousands of sharp knifes. "....You didn't send your son to punish me for talking something i didn't know i took. Then he wouldn't have known me, and he wouldn't have died."  Soul boldly said again. ".....You! Damn you all mortal!" Aphrodite screamed as tears drop from her eyes, and then summon all the knifes at Soul, but she only stand and look at them as they came closer to her. 

"With time i am form, with fate i create, with life is see, as death is unknown....." The mother of fate said a spell with soul's mouth and Aphrodite heard it. "Wait! How do you know that spell?" Aphrodite who was in complete shock shouted at Soul as she moves backward. "How do you know that spell!!!" She shouted to Soul, but she only just say the spell. 

"...Time is i and i is fate." The mother of fate said and then the knifes that was coming towards her immediately freeze. "How did she do that?" Zadre who knew Dusa couldn't do something like that ask himself. "No! Only the mother of fate knew that spell." Aphrodite said and staggered backward in confusion. ".... but you knew the spell." Soul said as she walks towards Aphrodite while pushing the sharp knife away. "...yes i did because i stole her spell book." Aphrodite confessed and then knee on the ground.

"Oh! Child. Can't you see me?" The mother of fate said as she walk pass Zadre and walk closer to Aphrodite. "mother is that you?" Aphrodite ask after raising her heads up to look at Soul. "Yes! It is me." The mother of fate said to Aphrodite. "oh! Mother am sorry." Aphrodite said as she hold the legs of Soul, and then knee.
