After the celebration, Selene and Poseidon began spending all their time together, falling deeper in love as the hours passed. But Selene didn’t realize she was completely neglecting Nyx, leaving her to tend to the night skies alone.
As the months went by, Nyx kept hoping Selene would recognize her absence, but Selene was too infatuated with Poseidon to see the pain she was causing.
One night, Nyx had enough. She wrapped her night sky around the moon, plunging the Earth into darkness and immediately destabilizing it. As the ocean began losing its rhythm, Poseidon grew fearful for the sea creatures he created in harmony with the moon.
Blinded by the darkness, Selene begged Nyx to uncover her moon. But emotions were too high. Rage, heartbreak, and sorrow collided, triggering a flood and the strongest rainstorm the world had ever seen.
As Nyx reached for a star to use as a weapon against Selene, Poseidon responded with an earthquake that shook stars from the sky and disrupted the planets Nyx and Selene had created.
Amid the chaos and seeing the destruction they were creating, Selene cried out for them to stop, and then she screamed something that changed the world forever.
