The Beginning Of A Storm 2

 Seeing the two Marco could not help himself, he simply missed them too much. To everyone else only around a month passed, but to him, thousands of years were seen. 

 As he missed them tremendously, he just hugged them tightly without a care in the world. This action was a godsend for Ema as she instinctively jumped on Marco.

 Diya hugged Marco after snapping out of her stupor, to her the important thing is that Marco was with her now. 

 Behind the trio Aphrodite was stunned, she knew of extremely fast beings. To her she could still barely follow the fastest and match the slower few. But Marco's speed escaped her perception.

 She wondered why Gaia was roaming around in the garden of Diya's mansion but seeing Marco, she guessed it must have been related to him. She just walked past the trio and entered another room closing the door. Taking out an old-looking flip phone from amidst her breast, she called Gaia. "Hey yo bitch, whassup."

 The moment the call connected Aphrodite 'greeted' Gaia. Veins popped on Gaia's head but she just took a deep breath, "What do you want?" she answered coldly, she did not want to deal with whatever nonsense Aphrodite might cook up. 

 She was too old to deal with Aphrodite's love projects, whenever she did someone would definitely be left unhappy, heart broken or dead. Those that died were extreme cases, an example was in that Aphrodite shipped the village beauty to an average person.

 As the men in the village were not satisfied with the fact that the village beauty 'fell in love' with an average joe they took action. The man was subsequently pushed into hunts, after a few the men burning with jealousy would kill him in the wilderness. 

 Another exapmle is of her and Ares incident getting caught by her imposed 'husband' Hephaestus was widely known. So knowing the problematic character of Aphrodite she just wanted to hang up the phone. 

 The issue was that she knew the fairest goddess would just keep calling her until she picked up. "So, what do you want? You know all too well that I don't want to deal with you." Gaia rolled her eyes.

 Aphrodite just smiled, she knew that her presence alone irritated many beings, some were jealous while others were disgusted. 

 She recalled that some progenitors with the pride of the heavens would rather kill themselves than be Aphrodite's toy. "I assume that you are in Ema's mansion dude to Marco?"

 Aphrodite expected Gaia to answer her immediately as she knew Gaia didn't want to interact with her too much. But the long silence stretched on, Gaia didn't want to admit her situation while Aphrodite was growing more curious and annoyed by the second. 

 Before Aphrodite asked again, she heard Gaia sigh, "Well you will know sooner or later as you are friends with Lady Ema."

 Aphrodite was shocked hearing how Gaia a prideful, poisonous and vengeful woman called Ema, Lady Ema. Aphrodite felt that something was definitely wrong, the Gaia she knew would never call someone with so much respect. She was the same woman who gave the middle finger to multiple god-kings for her machinations.

 But thinking as this was a decent chance to vent Gaia started to tell her story. She went into quite deep detail about bow exactly everything happened. 

 "It all started..." Gaia recounted how she met Marco and what exactly happened afterwards. Aphrodite's eyes grew wider as she listened to Gaia's recount. When Gaia finished all she heard was silence from Aphrodite. 

 Gaia knew that her recount was ridiculous but that was for Aphrodite to decide. She was currently planning the next few rotations for the mansions servants, "I will hang up if there's nothing more, I am quite busy with lady Ema's tasks."
