Unlucky?Player Chapter 61

Night found himself in a familiar environment, he realized it was Nyx's doing. It was the same place where Nigh and Nyx spoke after he exposed his fear to her.
'This doesn't seem very Mother Night-ish, in fact, this looks like a place I might find that drunkard Dionysus, besides, how is she just freely able to take all of us to another place, IM THE LORD OF THE UNDERWORLD FOR F*CKS SAKE' Hades thought to himself, he wouldn't dare express his feelings in front of someone like her.
"If you're wondering how I'm capable of this, you should know it's merely an illusion, a formation of some sorts? to protect us from eavesdroppers,"
"Of course, if I were to actually take you with me then that would be quite tiring, at least as I am right now I would find it so."
"..."
That meant she was actually capable of doing so, even if she was a Primordial, the concept of treating an Olympian much less one of the Big Three like a toy was frightening.
"Now then, time for a short story, everyone present here is free to listen, and perhaps you might learn something?" she said while looking at Night with a curious gaze.
"A long time ago, Hera, the Goddess of marriage and family, plotted against her own husband, Zeus, the Lord of Olympus and the skies, ironic considering she's the Goddess of 'family'," she chuckled.
She proceeded to narrate the entire story of how her son Hypnos, the God of Sleep, and Hera tried to put Zeus to sleep but Zeus was too strong for their plan to fully work out, enraged Zeus chased Hypnos all the way to Tartarus, where Hypnos hid in Nyx's domain. As the 'strongest' and the leader of the Olympian Gods, Zeus feared almost no one, even Typhon(or Typhoon) was beaten by Zeus after a long cataclysmic battle but Nyx wasn't just a Primordial, she was also known as the "firstborn",

While other Greek Gods 'replaced' or shared similar roles, Nyx was the only being who ruled over the Night, Zeus was hesitant on entering her domain as he was afraid he might anger her. Regardless of how strong his thunderbolts may be, Nyx along with Gaia, Eros, Tartarus, and Erebus were the first beings to be born from Chaos.
According to Nyx, Chaos was more than just their progenitor, it was an abode, a gap in the world, unlike the Underworld that held the souls of the dead, Chaos was a region where Primordial gods such as herself would rest, upon hearing Night slightly frowned as he realized the information Pythia provided wasn't entirely true. Chaos or Khaos was an infinite gap, it held 'Everything' and 'Nothing' at the same time.
Of course, Hades was aware of most of this information, other than the Hypnos-Zeus incident but considering his brother's personality he wasn't fully surprised that he hadn't heard of this. Zeus was the King of the Gods, naturally, he was extremely proud and wouldn't let the world know of an incident where he was shown little to no face.
However, Nyx didn't stop there, she proceeded to tell them of her travels and habits, naturally, Noctis and Shade would listen no matter what it was, Hades, on the other hand, was quite confused and slightly annoyed but he could never express how he felt. But Night was extremely focused while listening to her speak, after a point, he closed his eyes to concentrate better.
'The night is certainly mysterious, I wonder if I can ever overcome this fear of mine... perhaps then I can enjoy it, I don't fully understand why I'm afraid of the night but....haah... it's almost like a reflex action, its pitiful, tch, but Nyx...she's certainly admirable, I'm almost jealous of her, to be feared so much that even the God of the Olympians would hesitate on matters concerning her. She exists regardless, even if the Sun was destroyed she would be there... she was there near the creation of everything, she'd be there even if everything was destroyed...'

"Huh?"
Unbeknownst to Night, a black ripple could be seen before he opened his eyes, the wave of darkness continued until it wasn't visible anymore, it passed through the trees and the animals almost as if they couldn't see it.
"Congratulations, my dear child," Nyx said with a smile almost as if she expected it to happen.
// // //
(A/N): I couldn't find any information regarding who was the first one to be born from Chaos but I did find information regarding Nyx being called the "firstborn" and Nyx being Gaia's elder sister. I try to stick to the Mythology as much as possible, like the names, their children, family, powers etc, etc but other than that everything else is 'made up', however certain incidents like the Zeus-Hypnos chase was definitely not 'made up'(^_^)
