Rock You Like A Hurricane

The older they grew it seemed the more independent they became. Ao and her brothers were thick as thieves, and there weren’t many days the girl didn’t seek them out. It wasn’t a secret some of Jupiter’s ‘legitimate’ children held the three of them in contempt, but Ao knew she could always count on Kore and Kalyke. Of course, her half siblings would always hold her loyalty, they were blood after all. They were raised together. But the divide between mothers was difficult to breach.

She and Kore were traveling, it was only days after their first birthday but they were eager to test their limits in authority and physically. It was more than a camping trip as they traveled along Ashen’s borders and down to the coast eastward. It was a beautiful day, if not windy as they walked along the water’s edge. The sea was choppy, and in the distance the sky was just beginning to go dark.

Aoede’s golden eyes scanned the horizon. After exploration the girl was fascinated with the sky and the weather. She knew by now that the darkness meant nothing good for her or her brother. It seemed too far away to really worry about right now, but they might do well to start heading inland. Who knew what was being blown their way? She knew weather wasn’t the most exiting topic for her brother, but still the dark coated girl spoke up.
