《Our Little Moon》Chapter 7 - what's the reason?
Advertisement
"Princess would you like some music?" Eros ask, when the four of them were heading back after Ares called them that Artemis should be home. He's so worried about her or maybe because he just miss his little sister?
"Yes, please." She replied politely that earned smile from them. They are thankful that their sister was so polite and innocent, quite their opposite.
"Eros, she's a child." Hades reminds him, because he knew what kind of music he has on his phone. Eros squint his eyes to him before he plays the music.
Hades and Apollo sighed in relief when the song 'Show yourself' played and to Luna's delight. She really loves that song as she sing-along with correct lyrics and in tune that make all the boys look at her in astonishment.
🎶I've never felt so certain🎵
🎵All my life I've been torn🎶
🎶But I'm here for a reason🎵
🎵Could it be the reason I was born?🎵
They just listened to her, never open their mouth to interrupt as she keep singing and poured all her heart into it. It touches their heart and couldn't believe that their little sister can sing with so much passion.
But their eyes filled with so much worries when her eyes started to brim with tears.
🎶Come, my darling, homeward bound🎶
🎶I am found🎶
"Hey baby, what's wrong?" Apollo asked while hugging her tenderly, and because Hades was the one who's driving the car, he just settled to look at her in rear-view mirror, but couldn't help but feel so worried to her.
Eros stops the music abruptly because he thought, it's the caused of her sadness.
"Because t-that song w-was mine and my Mommy's favorite s-song. And when I've heard E-Elsa's mommy's voice, I remembered my M-Mommy and I miss her too much. She used to s-sing that s-song to me before I s-sleep, when I'm in b-bath and when I'm s-sad." She explained before crying so hard on Apollo's chest. The three de Luca boys were also heartbroken seeing her crying like that.
Apollo kissed her head and stroke her back to calm her down.
"My Moon, don't be sad. Mommy didn't really left you, she just went to heaven together with angels, but you know what? She's still looking at you from there. Her love for you will never go, why? Because she is there, she will always stay there." He said before pointing his finger to her heart. Luna listened to her brother while looking at him so intently.
"And you're not alone, we will never leave you and we'll always here for you. We love you so much that we will do anything just to make you happy. So can you give us your pretty smile, please?" Apollo said. Eros and Hades nodded their head in angreement which makes her face produced the sweetest smile.

"That's my little girl." Hades says with smile on his lips. Eros kissed her forehead and said how much he loves her, which she acknowledged wholeheartedly.
When they came back from the mall, Luna was still sleeping and for that Apollo brought her to his room because her room was being renovated to make it a room entitled for a Princess like her.
And that was the reason why Ares can't come with them to shop. Her room will be ready hopefully in few days but for the meantime, she will stay to any of her brother's room.
"How is she?" Diony asked Apollo.
"She's fine, so much energy specially when we went to the toy-store. She was so happy when I bought her a teddy bear that she will call Mr. Choco because she named him after me, and you know why? because she said that I am the sweetest brother of her." He said with proud smirk that makes Dionysus slap the back of his head for bragging it out loud.
"Are you sure about that? Just wait, when me and her have our moment, she will say then that I'm the best brother in the world." Diony replied, that he didn't notice the arrival of Ares with a frown face.
"What's happening here?"
"Nothing. Just we're challenging each other who will win the best brother of the world for Luna." Diony states.
"Hmm, well that would be me." He said before checking the sleeping girl on Apollo's bed. He kissed her forehead softly before he walks away, ignoring his two brothers who burst out laughing at their big brother's statement. They can't believe that their olderst brother will say that. They shook their head and thinking that he's totally becoming soft, but only for their little Luna.
Morning comes and the De Luca brothers were all sitting inside of Ares's Office, except Apollo and Luna who were still sleeping on his bedroom.
Ares open the white envelop and read the result. His face stared at the result for long time before he looks at his brothers who held serious faces. You cannot actually tell if they are happy, excited or nervous.
The room was so quiet that you can hear a pindrop.
Until Eros break the ice.
"So?"
"She's ours. She's indeed a De Luca." Ares announced and handed the paper to his brothers. Their smile never falter because nobody can take their sister away from them.
"So what now?" Hades asked.
He is referring about the Mafia. Ares let out a deep sigh before he speaks again.

"We have a lot of enemies and she will be their target to get on us. We will double our security and updates our men's data every week but inform no one about this, understood? Our enemies may pretend to be one ot our men and we cannot allow them to do that and win." He said in stern voice.
"Yes Capo." They all said in unison.
"What about her school?" Eros asked thinking that she is 5 and should be in school.
"I think it's better for her to be homeschooled for the meantime." Dionysus suggested, Ares tapped his fingers on the desk because he's having a mental debate; he wants her to go to actual school to meet someone or have friends of her age, but the other part of him saying that it's not safe. Yet. And until they solve their issues with their enemies, it's better for her to stay at home.
"I agree with Dionysus. We cannot take the risk with regards with her. She needs to be protected at all cost, even I put 20 men outside her room, I will do that." He says in conviction. The over-protective-brother instinct inside of him is kicking and he can't control it.
"I agree." Eros and Hades said in unison.
"Good." Ares says before telling them that they can leave and do what he told them to do.
Diony stays because Ares has something to say on him.
"Is there a problem?" Diony asked.
"I've got some information about her Mother. First she's orphaned. After she reached 18, she moved out from her adopted parents and live by herself. Like she cut-off everything from them, which I have no idea why. Then, after few years she met her husband Jake Johnson and married at the age of 26. Their marriage became sour when she had miscarriage not once but three times that her husband decided to divorce her, she was 32. And after 2 years, she met our father and that is how Luna created." Ares states while Diony chuckle at his last sentence.
"So what's the matter?" Diony raised his brow ar Ares.
"The problem is, it seems like she's hiding when she was alive."
"Elaborate Ares."
"When they were living on their old city, she had a nice job. She's getting a good salary, doesn't have enemies or problem with anyone. So why all of the sudden, they will left that kind of living?... Second, her death was not actually caused by cardiac arrest. They found traces of poison on her blood, causing her heart to slow down same like heart failure. It means someone killed her.... But what making me confused right now is, where was Artemis during that time." Ares stated while looking to his brother.
"So do you think she knew something?"
"She might be or she may not, I'm not sure, but what if?" Ares asked rhetorically.
"Can we ask her? I mean, I know it's sound cruel because she's still mourning but can we do that?" Diony said with hint of concern.
"I will do that. And yes we can but let us give her more time. The twins and Apollo informed me about her breakdown on the car, she was really hurt by her sudden death and I don't want to add more stress. We have to make her happy and show her how much we love her so that when she thought of her mom, she wouldn't get hurt that much." Diony nodded his head in agreement.
"And if someone was tailing on them before, we have to know who they are." Ares added.
"Did you check her adopted parents?" Diony asked again. And Ares's eyes flashed under the light of his room.
"That is a great question Dionysus. Because according to her records, her adopted parents when she was 5-10 years old were all existing, like true people. But on her 11-18 years, the name of her adopted parents never existed, it's faked, like it's been forged."
Diony's eyebrow are pulled together by Ares revelation.
"Do you think, she's the one who forged it?"
"Maybe and she might has a damn reason to do it, which we need to know for Artemis's sake." Ares said.
Then his mind went back to the time when Artemis called him over the phone to pick her up.
When her mother died.
Why would her mother instructed her to call him instead of emergency hotline?
It's seems odd.
And there's a f*cking reason behind this.
And he f*cking needs to know it as soon as possible.
Because, he will not let anyone take or hurt his little sister.
Their Little Luna.

Godfather Of Champions
This is a story about the pursuit of victory.— «I subscribe only to the theory of victory. I only pursue victory. As long as I am able to obtain victory, I don’t care if it’s total football or counterattack. What is the ultimate goal of professional soccer? In my opinion, it is victory, and the pinnacle of victory is to become the champions. I am a manager. If I don’t wish to lose my job or be forgotten by the people, there’s only one path for me to take, and that is to lead the team in obtaining victories, in obtaining championship titles!»The main character was not well-liked by people.— «⋯We conducted a survey which had been deemed by Manager Tony Twain as extremely meaningless. In a random street survey conducted, ninety-three percent of those surveyed chose the option ‘I hate Tony Twain’, while only seven percent chose the option ‘This person is rather decent, I like him’. It is worth noting that nobody chose the option ‘Who is Tony Twain? I don’t know him’. Mark, do you know why Manager Twain felt that our survey was very meaningless?» Parker, a reporter from laughed loudly and said when he was being interviewed by BBC.But there were also people who were madly in love with him.— When Tony Twain was forced to talk about the survey conducted by during an interview, his reply was : «I am happy, because Nottingham Forest’s fans make up seven percent of England’s population.»And he did not seem to care about how the others saw him.— «What are you all trying to make me say? Admit that I am not popular, and everywhere I go will be filled with jeers and middle fingers. You all think I will be afraid? Wrong! Because I am able to bring victory to my team and its supporters. I don’t care how many people hate me and can’t wait to kill me, and I also won’t change myself to accommodate the mood of these losers. You want to improve your mood? Very simple, come and defeat me.»His love story had garnered widespread attention.— «Our reporters took these pictures at Manager Tony Twain’s doorsteps. It clearly shows that Shania entered his house at 8.34pm and she did not leave the house throughout the night at all. But Manager Tony Twain firmly denies, and insists that that was merely the newest-model inflatable doll which he had ordered.He was the number one star of the team.— «⋯ Became the spokesperson of world-wide famous clothing brands, shot advertisements, frequented the fashion industry’s award ceremonies, endorsed electronic games, has a supermodel girlfriend. His earnings from advertisements exceed his club salary by seventeen times, owns a special column in various print medias, publishing his autobiography (in progress), and is even said that he is planning to shoot an inspirational film based off his own person experiences! Who can tell me which part of his life experiences is worthy of being called ‘inspirational’? Hold on⋯. Are you all thinking that I’m referring to David Beckham? You’re sorely mistaken! I’m talking about Manager Tony Twain⋯.»He was very knowledgeable about Chinese soccer.— «⋯ I’ve heard about it, that Bora gifted four books to his manager Mr. Zhu before your country’s national team’s warm up match. After which, the team lost 1:3 to a nameless American team from Major League Soccer. The new excuse that Mr. Zhu gave for losing the match, was that Bora gifted «books» (‘books’ and ‘lose’ are homophones in the Chinese language). Here, I recommend that you guys find out what that one specific book is. Which book? Of course the one that caused you all to score a goal. After that, tell me the title of the book. Before every match, I will gift ten copies of that same book to you. In that case, won’t you all be able to get a triumphant 10:0 win over your opponents every time?» An excerpt taken from Tony Twain’s special column in a certain famous Chinese sports newspaper.He was loved and hated by the press.— «He has a special column in at least four renowned print media, and he is able to get a considerable amount of remuneration just by scolding people or writing a few hundred words of nonsense weekly. While we have to contemplate hard about our drafts for three days before our boss is pleased with it. In an article inside his special column, he scolded and called all of the media ‘son of a bitch’, announcing that he hated the media the most. But every time he publishes an article, we flock towards him like flies which had spotted butter. Why? Because the readers like to read his news and see him scold people. I dare to bet with you, and Manager Tony Twain knows clearly in his heart as well, that even though he says that he hates us, he knows that the present him cannot do without us. Similarly, we also cannot do without him. Is this ultimately considered a good or a bad thing?» Bruce Pearce, a reporter from said with a face of helplessness when talking about Tony Twain.But no matter the case, his players were his most loyal believers.— Gareth Bale, «No no, we never had any pressure when playing on our home grounds. Because the pressure is all on the manager. As long as we see him standing by the side of the field, all of us will feel that we will be able to win that match. Even the football hooligans are like meek lambs in front of him!» (After saying this, he began to laugh out loudly)The reply from George Wood, the team captain of Nottingham Forest, was the most straightforward. «We follow him because he can bring us victory.»The legendary experience of Tony Twain, the richest, most successful, most controversial manager with the most unique personality!Debuting this summer.Thank you for reading.

The Fall of The Gods
Synopsis: In the year 1966, an army of Orishas led by Sango stormed Amadioha’s palace and razed it the ground, starting a decades-long war between two of Nigeria’s most powerful divine orders. Blinded by the rage of battle, the gods did not detect the rise of a third power, far greater and deadlier than anything they could have imagined. When gods, on both the Yoruba and Igbo sides, begin falling mysteriously to their death, Sango seeks the help of Odion, a Lagos teenager destined to rise from his dark past to become a hero. But can a human hero save the gods from a doomed fate? The Fall of the Gods is an action-packed YA fantasy based on the mythical bond that ties human life with the realm of the divine. It demonstrates the power of stories to change our lives. It also reminds us that Sango and Amadioha are not relics of the past and that, sometimes, what it means to be a hero in today’s world is knowing how to find inspiration in the stories of the gods. PLEASE NOTE: Weekly chapters will be released every friday along with interludes once in a while about Nigerian mythology. I'm a young 17 year old writer and I am new to the site so I will appreciate your comments and reviews. Thank you very much.
