First Demonic Dragon

Chapter 878: Geb

Chapter 878: Geb

Abuse of children is one of the most heinous and unforgivable crimes that a person can commit.

In one's formative years, childhood trauma literally re-writes the brain's circuitry in order to protect itself and forever alters their development and behavioral patterns.

Even if there were to be a resolution of one's applicable trauma, there still would be no return to 'normalcy'.

Even though Lailah and her mother have a fairly good relationship now, in the original timeline things were not so picture perfect.

Lailah was a meek girl who wanted nothing more than a family's approval and affection. She didn't get any from her mother, and she certainly didn't get it from her sisters.

And the sole reason she received all of their unjust hate and scorn, was all because of this man right here.

Geb is the Egyptian deity of the earth. But before he was placed into that role, he had a much less significant impact as Sei's Queen Consort.

That is, until he reached the pinnacle of evolution and Asherah gave him a new purpose with ascendancy.

But that was almost an eternity ago. And only one of a countless number of possible origins for the ancient god.

He didn't even remember the timeline where he had created Lailah. As far as he knew, he had no other significance in her life other than being an old acquaintance.

"I…"

Truthfully, Lailah had met Geb several times before today. But this was her first time seeing him ever since Abaddon had helped her remember the events of the prior timeline.

Now, she felt awkward looking at the green-skinned god. Too many emotions and different avenues of thought were already thrashing about in her mind.

Luckily for her, Tatiana was an adept partner for circumventing awkward situations.

She quickly stood up and forced a picture-perfect smile on her face and held out her hand for both of them to shake.

"Geb. Nut. It's been quite a long time."

The woman standing beside Geb was Nut. His sister, and the only love interest of his that the history books would ever recognize.
