(sorry about not posting much, i'm not getting much time to)
Lowell looked at Venus with a serious look. "No...no, I couldn't have. Pluto is my friend." he said and looked at Solaris. "I'm not sure who it was, but I know I would never hurt her." he said.

Solaris shook his head. "I do not doubt you, Lowell. I believe your intentions are pure. Of course, Venus is likely the best judge of that of any of us, but I know she trusts my judgement, just as most of you do. I often wonder about Jupiter, though..."

Venus cleared her throat before piping in. "Though we are deities, Lowell, we can still have something messed up in the head," she murmured and with this, she took a couple steps closer to him, watching his eyes, facial expressions and even the tone in his voice. "You may be...suppressing the fact that you attacked Pluto and did so subconsciously because you can't handle it mentally and emotionally. See, your mind often represses memories that it deems too traumatic or might interfere with your body's cognitive processes. Your mind has a funny way of fixing itself," she added lightly, now close to comfort with Lowell. She stared deep into his eyes, her violet eyes almost enchanting as she searched them. The swelling of his aura swallowed her; she felt his stress and discomfort and confusion. She tilted her head, curious and almost in anticipation of touching Lowell's bare skin. "Though you say you had no hard feelings towards Pluto nor that you did it, your conscious mind might just be in denial. You might be holding some dark secret, down deep in your subconscious without you knowing it," she murmured in a sweet voice, completely intoxicated in Lowell's aura. Venus was very susceptive to other people's feelings and other's 'auras' as she called them, often losing herself in the midst of them. It was a dream-like state for her until Solaris mentioned Jupiter and she snapped back, turning her head to Solaris. "I doubt Jupiter would dare attack Pluto without finishing the job. Besides, though Jupiter may act all high and mighty and prideful, I think he just wants praise from you or maybe he feels fear or threatened. Well, that's just my opinion and you can take it anyway you want."
And with that, Venus turned, stepping ever so closer to Lowell. Instead of holding his hand or brushing his arm like she usually did when reading people, she turned to his face. However, she hesitated just when she was about to touch him, feeling an odd sense of insecurity. And for once, Venus felt it. Terror. Ah, but it was too late and Venus was already cupping Lowell's face with both her hands. She made a small jolt upward, her eyes darting to and fro as if she were reading a book in milliseconds. Her lips parted ever so slowly, yet she remained soundless as her face turned to something in line of horror.
Venus stood, dusting herself off as she looked around. She was in Lowell's subconscious. Usually, she would just skim through memories, sort of like looking through files however, Lowell's subconscious was nothing shorter than the darkest black she had ever seen. This feeling of fear swelled up in her but she reminded herself not to panic. She had to be careful when reading people's minds in case not to press too hard on something psychologically. But here, Lowell's mind was bleak and grim. Lowell's mind was different, as if there were some other presence there. And then it hit her. She was swallowed up in the abyss, the darkness beginning to eat her alive, and she came to realize that the screaming she was hearing was from her own mouth. Venus' horrifying scream lasted even after her hands fell away from Lowell's skin before she fainted and crumpled in front of Lowell's and Solaris' eyes.
[ How's that for suspense yum_puddi ]

(omg i loved it!!! ^^ awesome drama ^^)
While Venus was inside his mind, Lowell's face shaped into one of horror and pure fear. His lips kept moving, as if saying a name, but no sound came from him. As she screamed, his eyes had rolled back and became black and evil. He then whispered two words..."Never more..." before he too passed out next to Venus.

Solaris wasn't entirely certain of what was happening, but when both Venus and Lowell passed out at his feet, he was shocked. He immediately knelt at their sides. "Venus! Lowell! What has happened to you two?!" He held his glaive in both hands and channeled his energy through it to try and heal them both back to consciousness.

Venus was lost, her blood curdling scream the last that left her lips until she blacked out. Literally. Venus, who was so inept mentally, connected to herself and everyone else so deeply on a mindly level, felt nothing. As if her brain shut down. Of course, it didn't, she was still breathing. However, she felt dark, as if torn apart from everything she knew. It was only Solaris' pained and worried voice and the healing that had brought her back. She woke fifteen minutes later and rolled to her side, her head pounding in a massive head ache. In the end, she hurled. Rather disgusted with herself, she wiped her mouth and sat up, her eyes full of a look of pain and fright. She shook and was pale, as if sickly, despite her prowess as a goddess, and looked to Solaris before throwing herself onto him, sobbing. Going into Lowell's head was the worst experience she ever had. She cried into Solaris' chest, rare as it was that she did, and found comfort in it.
"I....I...cc.c.c.c..an't..." She lifted her head, shaking it as if in denial. Her cheeks were tear-ridden. "I...c...ca..n't r..read...mm..minds a...nymore ...S..Solaris.ss," She certainly had trouble speaking, her head still muffled. Yet what she said was true. She couldn't read Solaris' mind, to say the least. His feelings, well, it was hard to decipher them but she could still feel them. She rather depended on her telepathy a lot to communicate; her ability is like a vital ligament to her body, to her life, and to her entire existence. And then to figure that she could no more use it was heart-breakening and frightening. She felt blind. She could feel emotions still, though they were a little toughter to figure out since she was cut off from other's minds, and so they came out as muffled or blurry, as she would desribe it. Venus could not and would not explain to Solaris what happened in Lowell's head, no, she could not even stomach all of it. Surely he would understand; and if Venus had to, she would only give him the general gist of it. But she could not describe the horror she went through in those short few minutes. That would take all she had out of her and she best decided to do away with it. Venus didn't even want to think about what had happened and so nuzzled into Solaris' chest again.

Solaris embraced Venus, as well, doing what he could to comfort her, as well as complete her healing. "Worry not, dear Venus. I am confident that we can find a way to recover your lost ability. It will merely take time." His voice was calm and unusually loving. There had always been a fairly obvious connection between Solaris and Venus, but he had always loved all the goddesses as if they were his partners.
