Somewhere Greener, Somewhere Warmer

There were a few things that Athena had come to accept in the last few seasons. One of those things was the possibility that she may never see all of her sons again. Tiburtius had stayed with her and Amalia, but she only had Arivae to thank for that. Part of her was sure that no matter how loyal her largest son was, if she hadn't been there to make his time in Fiori worth it she would have lost him too. Bacchus' sudden and brief reappearance had given her a small bit of hope that she might at least see that her sons were alright, but since his visit she hadn't seen any sign of him or her other sons. She was glad to have their youngest daughters. They brightened her day every day and kept the loneliness away. She was watching Jayne play in the mud and laying on a drier patch of ground with Diane at her side when a painfully familiar voice reached her ears. Her head snapped toward the sound and her heart jumped into her throat. Her daughters noticed her sudden movement and she gave them both a reassuring smile. "I'll be right back, girls. Don't go far from the den okay?" She got up and hurried toward her long lost son and soon enough his slate-blue hued form came into view. A knot formed in her throat as she trotted toward him. "Vitus..." she said softly, the tears she was holding back choking her words. She pressed her face into his neck and nuzzled into his fur. The moment she felt that he was real a smile crossed her face and her tail wagged happily behind her. |
