I ride my horse, rapidly approaching Venus' Temple. Venus was kayci's mother but I always came here if frustrated with love. I dismount, walking into the Temple.

"I knew you'd come here" A familiar voice says and I turn, finding that the Doors were closed and in front of them stood Kayci. "You really need to start looking behind you while you ride Quicksilver." Kayci explains, grinning. Quicksilver is the name of my steed. "I knew you'd follow me" I say, turning and putting a dove feather on the burner as a sacrifice to Venus. I turn back around. "Do you have any matches?" I ask kayci. She sighs before saying "yes" and handing Me a lit match. I set fire to the dove feather and watch it burn, watching it crumble to Black ashes.  "I know you like Sarah" Kayci says. I dash at kayci, pinning her to the wall and pressing my dagger against her throat.

"Now now children, you mustn't fight" An old woman says, looking at kayci. "Hm. My child being pinned against a wall". The old lady's form shimmered, revealing Venus. I sheathed my dagger, and got down on my knee, bowing. "I apologise Lady Venus" I say, ashamed and embarrassed. "Get up" Kayci hisses, ragging me up, what do you want mom?"
Venus smiles.
