Chapter 208: Helios and Selene
"I feel the same way. At first, we thought you would choose Selene, but I am thrilled that you chose me. Still, I want you to know that I don’t have very good abilities to offer you. As you know, I, Eos, am a passive goddess. I cannot be said to be very powerful," said Eos with a smile on her face.
Atlas smiled back at the goddess and replied, "I will choose both Lady Selene and Lord Helios, my lady. So I don’t think there will be any problems."
Without pausing for even a second, he continued,
"Eos. A second-generation Titan. One of the three children of the first-generation Titans, Hyperion and Theia, and Dawn herself. The only one who opens the gates of the day for her brother Helios when her sister Selene sets in the sky and accompanies him... Don’t tell me you’re not powerful. You are the one who helps spread the first light in the interval when Nyx, the Night itself, fades away. Isn’t that right?"
Upon hearing Atlas’ words, Eos looked at him carefully. Naturally, Eos did not expect the young man in front of her to know so much about her.
"Then why did you choose me? Are you expecting a war? As I said, even if you see me as strong, the abilities I will give you will not be of much use to you," Eos said with a smile on her face.
When Atlas heard these words, he smiled and replied, "Helios, Selene, and Eos. I wonder with great curiosity about what the light of the sun, the moon, and the dawn would bring me. Who knows, maybe I’ll get much more than you think."
With these words, Atlas closed his mouth, noticing what the beautiful Eos standing before him was thinking, and began to wait.
Eos kept looking from Selene to Helios. It was as if the three siblings were having a conversation among themselves. Even though there were many gods and goddesses around, no one uttered a word, and they waited for the outcome.
Almost five minutes passed. Then ten. When fifteen and twenty minutes had passed, Eos looked at Atlas again and spoke:
"Then we can give you something special. It will increase your power in battle and give you extra abilities. What do you say?"
