2403  A Shocking Revelation n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

-----

The people of the village couldn't believe their eyes as they saw this winged woman descend from the skies, gently flapping her wings to not release winds that could kill them, she suppressed her powers to her limits, reaching them.

"Hello there! I'm Kireina, maybe you don't know me… But I'm actually, err, well, I'm the creator of this entire world," she said. "I had no idea there was people in this island…"

"Kireina?"

"Did she say Kireina?"

"Wait, Kireina?!"

"The Kireina?"

Kireina glanced at these people with a slightly confused expression, wondering if they really knew about her or not.

"Yeah, do you know me? Have you heard about me before?" Kireina wondered. "Hmm, you guys sure look an awful lot like someone else… Hydros! Right, you look a lot like her."

"W-We are her children."

"Yes but… if you're Kireina, truly…"

"She fits all the descriptions!"

"She's the mother that gave her seed to create our priestess."

"From her is where all of her fantastic powers come from!"

"Priestess?"

Kireina felt confused, they talked about seed, and then create a priestess. She was growing rather confused, more than she would have hoped for a short trip to fetch the Titans and then go see Poseidon and the rest with them to have a small talk.

"What's going on in here?" she thought. "I guess it's fine if they don't know me at the end but…"

Kireina had the feeling that…

"Something's off…"

She squinted her eyes at the sky, the sea, and the mountains.

"Are you guys there? I know you're there, come on! It has been ages, I'm so sorry for not visiting before… I didn't come here to drag you into a battle or something. Can we talk?"

The Titan's presences, who had been mostly dormant, quickly woke up before Kireina's voice, and immediately materialized.

FLAAASH!

The sky suddenly trembled, as the light turned into Hyperion, and the small star always watching over them turned into Helios within mere seconds, two burly men with long beards and muscular bodies, made entirely out of light and flames.

"Kireina! It has been ages."

"I was sleeping, I'm sorry for not answering quickly."

SPLASH!

At the same time, the seas swirled and rumbled, as an enormous ocean wave suddenly came crashing into the village. The villagers panicked even more, only to see the water take the shape of a tall old man, a giant made of water.

Kireina instantly recognized him from the old Oceanus, but also from the vengeful, wrathful Oceanus she battled back in Atlantis. They looked almost identical in appearance, yet they were every different.

"Kireina… It has been a long while."

One of them had been dormant, without keeping any resentment, a fragment of his soul that simply decided to rest.

The other, was a fragment with resentment and hatred, all of his anger, frustrations, fear, and traumas concentrated into the monster she fought.

RUMBLE!

And then, the mountains into the distance transformed, quickly taking the shape of a giantess made of stone, trees, dirt, and even magma.

Gaia.

"Kireina, this is a shocking visit… It has been years! We thought you would never come to see us again."

"I'm very sorry, I've been so busy, thing after thing… I kind of ended having to prioritize many other things," Kireina sighed. "I saw these people said Hydros is here? Oh, there you are!"

Kireina glanced at the red-haired one-eyed goddess of water emerge, her often stoic face changing into surprise as she saw Kireina in the flesh.

"S-So it's really you, Kireina-sama!"

Her big red eye glistened with happiness, greeting Kireina by waving her hands and then running towards her.

"Hydros, hi- Ack!"

Kireina was hugged tightly by Hydros giant arms, lifted off the ground, and then kissed all over her face.

"I never thought I would see you again! You are so busy with so many conflicts and other things…!"

"I-I'm sorry, really sorry! I was indeed very busy! Agh… I'm happy to see you again Hydros."

Kireina patted her head, as Hydros let her go, letting her stand on the ground.

"I never thought you would make a whole village here though…" Kireina looked around. "Are they your kids? Really?"

"A-Ah!" Hydros panicked a bit. "I-I… I need to tell you something- Ah, I just never thought you would appear, so I don't really know how to say this and…"

"Mother? Who is that?"

Suddenly, the voice of a girl echoed from behind Hydros, making her freeze.

"Grandma, who is it?"

And then of a little boy.

"Hm? Oh, are they your kids-"

Kireina glanced at the young woman that walked out of Hydros house, followed by her little kid. Compared to the rest of the villagers, she was much more different in appearance.

And well, certain traits were… very clearly like hers.

"Hydros? Who is she?" Kireina wondered. "Why does she…"

"Ugh…" Hydros facepalmed. "She's… uuh, our daughter."

"Daughter?!"

Kireina stepped back in utter disbelief!

She felt completely shocked.

Usually when a child of hers was born she would get a notification too.

Or she would just "feel it"!

But there was something odd with this kid, it was as if that connection had been dulled, not severed.

Was that even possible?

"How couldn't I know? I usually immediately know about this…"

As Kireina was mumbling, the girl stepped forward.

"Mother? What's going on?"

She looked at Hydros with a confused expression, her beautiful eye looking at Kireina.

"Huh?"

She noticed the same butterfly wings she had, even the same hair color too, and their horns were similar as well.

"Wait…"

"Amphitrite, I can explain…" Hydros muttered. "She's… Uh, you know how I told you that you had two mothers? Well… I never thought she would ever come here. She's… your other mom."

Kireina glanced at her daughter, a child that had been born years ago, which she never knew about at all.

Only one night she shared with Hydros back then, she wasn't really in love with her, and she did it mostly by a combination of horniness and because she wanted to make Hydros happy.

But after that, Hydros didn't pursue a relationship, and decided to settle down inside her Divine Realm.

Kireina left her be and… that was what happened since then.

But now, out of nowhere…

She had a daughter?!

"You're her then…" Amphitrite said, her hands trembling lightly. Her son glanced at her confused. "You're the one that abandoned mother?!"

Amphitrite voice was full of anger. Kireina wasn't expecting that reaction, but after thinking about it, she thought it was only natural.

"I… I'm very sorry, your mother never told me…" muttered Kireina. "If I had known earlier I-"

"What?! You didn't tell her you had me?!" asked Amphitrite, glaring at Hydros.

"My daughter, it was complicated… Kireina has a very busy life, her family is HUGE!" said Hydros. "I didn't want to give her more responsibilities, or to annoy her-"

"So my existence would have been an annoyance?!" Amphitrite glared at her two mothers in anger. "And why didn't you try to find me?! If you spent a night with mom!"

"I'm so sorry!" Kireina tried to calm her down. "Please calm down a bit. We can solve this peacefully, let's talk. I also want to know more about you! I just found out you exist, Amphitrite! …And what a beautiful name!"

"No, I don't care… It's a bit too damn late, don't you think?!" Amphitrite glared at Kireina furiously. "Screw off!"

She grabbed her son and walked back to her house, leaving Kireina and Hydros completely speechless.
