WHO: Selene and Erebus
WHEN: April 24 | 11pm
WHERE: Central Park
WHAT: Picnic and the Nighttime

Selene carried a small basket full of sandwiches, fruit, and wine. It was a ridiculously simple meal but in truth she wasn't that hungry. She only wanted the company. She adored Thomas and felt protective of him but was very pleased to see that Erebus had finally taken control. Selene missed her fellow Titans. There weren't many around, their numbers were small compared to the other pantheons. She knew that Thomas's suppression of Erebus was a problem, the substances that he was using to repress him were dangerous. Selene was a selfish goddess, she adored Raven and the fun they had but Erebus was someone from home. From the days before the war and the stupid vessels.

Selene work a skirt and a shirt, dressed for a night out at pubs and not for a picnic. She had been planning on going out until she had gotten the message from Erebus. Instead of changing clothes she had gathered a picnic for them and caught the subway across town to Central Park. The moon was waxing crescent, only 13% of full but it hung like a sliver in the dark sky. Surrounded by a thousand tiny stars. She stood at the entrance to the park and stared at the sky, her heart heavy. This moon did not need her to rise in the sky, this moon did not need her to guide it across the sky. She knew she had a purpose but she wasn't even sure what it was anymore.

Selene spread out the blanket in the grass, the open area was on a hill and she could see some of the stars that were normally hidden by the lights of the city. She had texted Thomas.. Erebus to tell him where she was and laid back on the blanket to wait. Selene didn't fear the night or the threats that came from the city. She felt strong at night, her fingers itching to use her powers. Dreams, madness, sleep. All at her disposal. She stared at the moon, lost in thought. She didn't hear the footsteps approaching until she saw shadow.

She wasn't sure she would ever get to see Thomas again and it made her heart heavy. She knew Erebus was strong, she could feel it and she didn't blame him for wanting complete control after being suppressed for so long. She would miss her friend but did prefer Erebus. "I miss them. Very much. Endymion even more."

She opened her eyes again and watched him. "I think what I miss most of all is a companion who understands." She had Raven but he was not of her pantheon and he didn't always understand her. "And you? Have you reconnected with Nyx? Others?"

Ah, the immortal mortal mentioned again, and he smiled almost sadly. He could never understand her desires for the mortals so he could not sympathize very easily.

"I have seen Nyx briefly but I fear her mortal is even more stubborn than mine. I am not so worried. I know she will come to me, we are all getting so much stronger... I heard I missed a grand party, did you go?"
