The goddess continued to enjoy her bath in the warm mist. As far as Glax could see, and it wasn't that much, Cybele Rhea's appearance was goddess-worthy, with long dark hair and sparkling eyes.
"Goddess, if I have offended you, forgive me." He spoke with a respectful voice and even bent a knee for her. "It was not my intention. I was also fed up with that woman's machinations."
"I don't know what I did, but thanks for not killing us," Lais added.
"Calm down child, and help me here," the chthonic goddess called the maiden to her side.
Lais looked to her brother for advice. She was trembling, but Glax squeezed her shoulder to reassure his little sis he would be around to protect her. Then she entered the mists and helped the goddess into a cloak.
Glax was apprehensive. He didn't hear any sounds coming from outside, and he believed they were in a magical place in the underworld. Far away from all the tragedy and death in the earthquake that shook the entire temple hill.
