It all fell, it all fell down, it all fell down

It all fell down, it all fell down, it all fell down

And all I gave you is gone (don't you wanna)

Gone (don't you wanna)

And all I gave you is gone (don't you wanna)

Gone (don't you wanna)

And all I gave you is gone (don't you wanna)

Tumbled like it was stone

Thought we built a dynasty that heaven couldn't shake

Thought we built a dynasty like nothing ever made

Thought we built a dynasty forever couldn't break up

It all fell, it all fell down, it all fell down, hey

It all fell down, it all fell down, it all fell down

Dynasty by Miia

"Fuck!" Deimos yelled and pushed himself away from Athena. He looked at her, he looked at her to find a hint of hatred or fear, but there was none. She was just looking at him, she was looking at him intensely, her eyes were pulling him in

Were they always that red? He kept asking him that question, but he couldn't focus on his question at all, all he saw was those eyes and all he smelt was her. It was as if she was using a chant to pull him in

"Athena, butterfly" he called out to her as he slowly held her face. When did the whole genre change?

"Athena, answer me butterfly" he called her as he held her face gently

"Deimos" she finally said and her eyes seemed to have returned to those Deimos was used to

"Butterfly, are you okay?" Deimos asked her once more

"Listen Deimos if that happens again, you shouldn't get close to me or you will kill me" she looked at him very seriously. She was on the verge of crying

"What do you mean Athena?" Deimos asked as he touched his wife's hand, what did she mean by he would end up killing her?

"There is a reason why I am known as a cursed princess, there is a reason why people say I should be dead" she said as tears were already falling. She was a very east Cryer

"Tell me everything. I'll listen" Deimos said as he sat down next to her and carried her on his lap

"Deimos, my mother was never meant to have a living child, she was cursed, she was cursed to give birth to *walking dead children" she said and you could see the shock in Deimos' eyes, why did nobody ever mention that to him, did anyone else know? Was she bullied, a lot of questions went through his head, but he didn't want to pressure his wife by asking

* Walking dead children- Children who were born alive, but already had the fate of death before everyone else

"My mother was told that none of her children was to pass the age of 16, if one did pass the age of 16 then the whole family would be cursed including the family of her husband, so my father killed my mother's children before they turned 16," she said and by now she was sobbing

"He killed them?" Deimos asked trying to see if he heard right and Athena nodded

"Before me, there were 12 children, 12 siblings, children of my mother and father, they were beautiful. I saw them in my dreams when I was younger, they used to visit me every day, they are beautiful Deimos, they are sweet *sob* they are…, they are real" she said and you could hear the sadness in her voice and it absolutely broke Deimos, it broke him to pieces. For the first time in his whole life, he wished he could turn back the clock to save someone. He felt useless

"I know you're wondering why my father didn't just stop sleeping with my mother, my mother said he loved her and his love made him desire her body very much, he couldn't stop himself, he took her whenever he felt like it, even if she denied him. I can never forgive him for that, I can never forgive him at all. I will never forgive him, it hurts so much Deimos, it hurts a lot, he killed them, the curse is trying to kill me, it's inside me Deimos and it'll always be inside of me" she cried as she held Deimos' hand, she wanted to hug him, she wanted to hold him so badly, but she couldn't, she was afraid it'll happen again, she forgot about it all, she thought it was gone, but she was wrong. It was there. It was always there with her and it was never going to let her go

Thinking of all that more tears started falling and she couldn't cry quietly anymore, she was crying openly, she was properly crying and when she felt his arms around her, she felt safe and sound

"Cry as much as you want butterfly" he said to her as he held her tighter and kissed her hair
