"I hate this, I hate this so much. Why is it always us? Why can't it be someone else?"
"I can't answer that. Someone has to go through all this pain in order for others to be happy. That's balance."
"That's not a reason for me to not have the right...
I knew what it was going to come down to when I decided to come here and find him, I expected so much worse but it still hurts. Reina and I had both escaped, well I'd go more for our lives were spared. I immediately ran us to U.K, I know that's where and Nero and Alon currently lived but I had to stop because of the injuries that had been inflicted on me.
I stopped once I got to Colwick Country Park and decided to rest on the bark of a tree, it was night anyways so no one would be here to ask why two women are covered in bruises and wearing armour and weapons.
I dropped Reina gently on the tree in front of me and sat down beside her, she took much more damage than me because of my carelessness. I'm the daughter of Athena and yet I wasn't smart enough to guess that Chrys wouldn't have brought anything less than two times more powerful than him to take down Reina but I didn't know that he'd bring him. The most powerful demigod to have set foot on Earth, Achilles. We're in deep shit.
"Um..." Reina said. I turned to her, "Did you actually do all of that?....I mean did you actually kill the woman he was in love with?"
I sighed, "Yes, I killed Ameerah. I had my reasons for doing what I did and if given the opportunity, I'd do it again." There's no point in lying, it's better I just give her the truth that she knows.
Reina also sighed, "Why does everything we do have to be so messy and extreme? You don't need to explain anything to me to be honest, I don't really care."
"Thank you....I guess?"
"Yeah you're welcome but how where are we going? You know someone that lives here?"
I raised a brow, "Can't you feel Alon's Spiritual Pressures from here?"
Her eyes widened, "I felt the energy but assumed it was just some other demigod that you knew, you can't actually mean that the energy I'm feeling belongs to Alon."
She's right but it's not only Alon, Nero also became weaker. What happened?

"I'd love it you all decided to sit down and explain everything. Now."
I'm not surprised that someone Zeus fell in love with would be this brave. This woman is currently surrounded by people that could kill her by accident yet she's talking to us as if we're eight year old human brats. We were all sat at the dining room in the dining room after a messy welcome.
Nero growled, "You're staring a lot Savanna. I hope you don't plan on killing Diana too, don't worry she's not in love with Chris."
Alex's eyes widened, "She also wants to kill mom??"
Alon shook his head, "No, Nero was just being mean for no reason."
"She killed someone out of jealousy, we don't even need a reason to strangle her. Honestly," Flower boy added.
"Savanna isn't that kind of person. She must have had good reasons," Alon now turned to face me, "Tell us, please."
I shook my head, "I don't feel like repeating myself. You know why I did what I did. I meant it."
Nero's scowl deepened, "The worst part about this is that you don't see how horrible what you did was. Do you actually think that jealousy is an excuse to take someone's life?"
Alon sighed, "Please let's not talk about this." He looked back at Ms. Basil, who was already steaming with anger, "We're sorry for inconveniencing you but could you please allow Savanna and Reina to love here with us? I understand if you say no but-"
"Why would I say no?" Diana interrupted. "Two other women is exactly what I'm in need of. This house is already starting to smell like dick anyway."
Is there really much to say after this? The only thing to do is wonder if this woman is actually a mother.
"Go off sis!" Reina cheered. We all looked at her with wide eyes, "What? She low-key spilled holy water."
That blow on her head must have been very painful, this is not the same person I met two-thousand years ago. I like it.
Flower boy stood up, "Yeah so I have to get going now, it's already 10 pm and there's school tomorrow."
As he opened the door Diana stood up and asked him, "Can I know where you think you're going?"
"Um....Home?"
She gasped, "Are you saying that this place isn't good enough for you? Is simple three-floor apartment too little for his royal highness?"
His eyes widened, "What? No. I didn't mean it like that. I just-"
"You just think that it's better to leave before I start acting all crazy on you? Do I look crazy right now?!"

He kept quiet.
"Well I guess I'm acting a little bit crazy....but all this to say that your mother, Demeter, told me to take you in. She has a lot to do and taking care of you is a lot of work for her."
