Obsidian Calling
Description
In their beginning, the Gods guided mankind.
At their end, the Gods disappeared for mankind.
Throughout his lives, Erebus, God of Darkness, has a doubt creeping in his core: someone is shielding her, his eternal companion, from him. Keeping him from finding her.
Now, born as Jin, he has decided he won't make the same mistake again, this time he asked for help. As such, some of the oldest gods will meet in trying to solve a mystery that can prove deadly.
As they search they discover that the gods they thought all-powerful may not be the highest in the ranks of power, a threat rises within their midst.
Is the girl Jin seems to be smitten with really Nyx or is he projecting his hopes on her? Even if he right, her dormant powers and memory loss pose a dangerous riddle.
Layla has led a peaceful uneventful life and she likes it like that, but ever since she turned down Jungkook and literally bumped into the very mysterious Jin, her life has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride.

Foreword
There was beauty in the way the sunlight laid in just the perfect oblique angle over the valley, the way it illuminated each detail as if it was a precious treasure. Nature’s color palette coming to life, almost glowing, under the precious light in such ephemeral days. Splashes of red, yellow and rust orange added to the infinite display of shades of green; words seemed too simple to convey such splendor. The perfect season was upon them.
Sitting on the base of the huge oak tree, he could feel the transition in the wind itself, Aeolus was surely busy, probably enjoying the last final months in his functions. He must be having fun, considering how the leaves danced around him at the will of their assailant as he danced with them throughout their fall.
Thesis and Zeus had agreed to lock in each one of their duties, making them flow in a yearly circle. But it would not be the same, there was no way it could be. Yet it was the best solution.
