"veni vidi vici"

The new kid. That's what I'm known as. At least it was so the first months.

I came from Rome, Italty where I spoke Latin, language of the Romans. That was my first attribute that was noticed.

As if my tanned skin and green eyes  and accent did not do my complexion justice. Their questions were partially problematic, however I came to see eye to eye.

Though when I came, I saw her as well.

She was of Greek heritage, hence the skin and face structure. She spoke in Greek occasionally, whenever something struck her. But her eyes were a bright brown, a honeycomb color. A dark yellow.. I wondered what her people were like...

That showed how the races mixed during the ages, she was a perfect example. She knew it as well, she was aware how captivating she was.

So I never understood why the weaver secluded herself. She was quiet and calm, like a still lake providing a sense of peace whenever she passed. But the live behind the lake, is not so still. Under that control face of her's, I saw the gears spinning- those of a clocks.. Always calculating, always questioning- as he has seen it so many time before, though they were never spoken because she understood, like I.

"We're are them. I hope you know?"

The girl did not waver, of course not, but the gears stopped.

She knew who I was.

"Yes."

"You are not afraid?"

The gears began again, and the girl stood up.

"Yes. I am very much afraid, father."

I am Roman, and she is Greek.

Nevertheless, I am-

"Jupiter, we can't do this. It will upset them within."

"Minerva, we are reincarnated- but we are not them."

"I am not Minerva, I am Athena."

"And I am not Zeus but instead Jupiter. So here I am! Laying next to my offspring after a passionate time. My Greek offspring."

The Gods let us have our way because she was Greek, and I Roman. Essentially the same, but as human reincarnations.. Oh! Oh so different!

That was how Athena & Jupiter together took everything that ever belonged to them, and shared it.

"I came I saw I conquered"
