Mark was furious! He knew that Luna was right, she had every right to do whatever she wanted with her wish, but he was fucking pissed at what she did!
Luna used her wish to remember everything that happened during the Game of Gods.
Mark couldn't understand how anyone would do something like that. You have a wish from a god that you can use to gain anything you want and you decide to use it on something as pointless as this! What purpose does it serve!?
"You just wanted to remember!? You wasted your wish on that! What will that do for you!? You know what we went through to get that wish and you wasted it! What is wrong with you!?"
Luna brought her face so close to Mark's face that she could count the lashes on his brow and Luna snarled beautifully.
"I did it because of you!"
Mark narrowed his eyes as Luna continued.
"I'm never going to go back to who I used to be. In that short time when I was with you, I found happiness. I found someone I could talk to. Someone I could share my feelings with. You gave me more in those few days than I have ever received from anyone in my entire life. I was not going to give that up for some fucking wish from some bullshit god!
The gods can go fuck themselves for all I care! I did what I wanted because of you!"
Mark could feel all of the anger inside of him slowly calming down as he heard what Luna said. He was still pissed at her, but there was nothing that he could do since she had already used the wish however she wanted. But Mark was not going to recognize this as a smart choice.
Even though Luna saw the memories from that game as something invaluable, to him it would have been worth forgetting all of that if it meant he got something that would help him grow stronger in the future.
But Luna didn't care about any of that. Luna went through a lot in that game, and she could have died more than once, but if she was sent back and asked to do everything over again, she wouldn't change a thing because that game allowed her to find Mark. It gave her someone that she could rely on and to her, that was more valuable than a wish from the gods.
Luna immediately knew that something was wrong. She thought about it deeply for a long time. But no matter how much she tried to think about it, nothing was coming to the front of her mind.
She couldn't remember.
That was the only thing that played in her head over and over again. No matter how much she tried to remember what she had forgotten, it was almost like there was a hole somewhere in her brain whose contents had been taken out by someone. She just couldn't seem to bring anything up from that hole. She didn't know what she had been doing.
She didn't know who she had been doing it with, and she had no idea how she arrived in this room.
"Rose Snow, that is you, right? No need to answer, I do not get my information wrong. You have won the game of gods orchestrated by Ares, the god of war. Congratulations. You will be given a gift, but you will have to wait a moment for someone else to choose what gift you will receive."
Luna turned around sharply as she heard a voice from behind her. The person who spoke was a short, chubby man wearing a pure white outfit with a gold pin attached to his left breast pocket. He had a chart in his hand that he was constantly looking at, and anytime he looked up to glance at her, he would frown and then glance back down at the chart.
Luna immediately spoke up.
"Who are you? What is this place?"
The man blinked before he nodded in understanding.
"Ah, yes, the penalty. You don't remember. I thought it would be a little longer before it came into effect. This is the waiting room. It is the passageway between dimensions. I am sure your god Neptune has taken you to one of these places before.
This is the one belonging to Ares, the god of war. As for me, I am an attendant. The attendant to the war god. Julius is the name. It is a pleasure."
Julius bowed and Luna couldn't stop herself from giving him a small bow in response to his greeting. She was still confused, but once she heard that this man was an attendant to a god, she knew she had to remain polite.
