"Kang Ho Haraboji..."
I almost murmured the word at the sight of my biological grandfather when I got down from Perses's car. He was smiling at me, his arms spread wide. I ran into them.
"I missed you so much, Eris." He said as he released me from the hug and looked at me. I smiled back at the grandfather that trained me for 12 years, ever since I was five.
"I missed you as well, grandfather. I heard from Ares, Themis, and Erebos that I shall be succeeding the clan soon, along with Perses?" I asked him and he nodded.
"But you shouldn't call them Ares, Themis, and Erebos any longer. You should now call them Zeus, Hecate, and Apollo, since they'll be succeeding me and my brothers already. You should call Perses, Mors, and you shall not be Eris now. You should be used now to being called Nyx." Haraboji said before leading me to the Song Mansion.
Yes, we all live in one HUGE mansion.
Haraboji opened the big doors for me once I got there and saw all, and I mean ALL of the Song Clan in there. They were perfectly aligned from the highest ranking family to the lowest, the highest in front and so on. I saw my brother in the front. After all, MY family is the highest in ranking. Why would I be the successor if we aren't?
But in front of all my relatives, there stood Perses, holding a boquet of flowers. When he gave it to me, I smiled, hearing that my aunts and uncles were teasing him to me.
"Yah! We're not gonna be forced to be married now, right? Stop it!" Seung Hyun reacted, causing all of the teasing to stop. After all, who would dare anger the successor?
"I'm glad you're back, Nyx." My aunt, Song Hye Gyo, said before looking at my uncle, Song Seung Hun. They are actually Seung Hyun's parents, but they told me that I could treat them as my parents. My parents had died in a plane crash when I was little on their way home from a business trip, by the way, leaving me and Ji Hyuk Oppa.
"I'm very glad Mors wouldn't be whining that he's not seeing you very often." He said, earning him a sharp "Dad!" from Mors, and laughs from the family.
Suddenly, I saw my same aged girl cousin, pretty much like a second me, who just got back from abroad. Oh dear, Song Ji Eun!
"Athena! You came back!" I exclaimed before hugging her very tightly.
"Well, that's Hera now, to you. Why won't I come back for my twin-cousin? Tell me." She said happily before facing everybody.
"Starting today, as the supposed head of the preparation group for Nyx's succession, I command everybody to begin the preparations!"
I swallowed hardly as my Clan actively began the preparations for the transfer of Clan Power. It's time I rise up to their standards and ideals. It's time to be a leader.
I'm no longer Luna nor Selene, not even Eris. Because from the ceremony onwards... I'm Nyx.

"Aish! Why the hell can't I FIND HER?!" Hero shouted in frustration as he laid down on his bed in his room. Letting out a sigh, he closed his eyes.
He had been searching everywhere for her, and he was searching for her himself. He had been at it for days now, and the day of the family meeting has been nearing. He bit his lip in exasperation before taking out his phone and calling.
"How's the search for Kim Selene?"
= = =
I looked from Hero hyung's slightly ajar door and sighed as he laid down on his bed, frustrated. It had been days now since she was gone, but we can't understand how she could've gone without a fight. When we got to her room, it was like it wasn't even touched. If she was supposed to be kidnapped, then shouldn't she have fought?
Or could it be that... she went willingly? Aish. There's that possibility.
I quickly called Hee Chul hyung for a special mission I had for him. He has to do it in total secrecy, because maybe it could lead us to where Selene is.
"Hyung? Can you do an undercover work for me? Try to spy on the Songs. But make sure no one knows about it except us two."
