a place to call my own

The smile on Natalya's mouth would not crease the corners of her eyes as a genuine smile should. She would nod in response to the encouragement from her niece, but could not bring herself to speak. Of course she was certain that her family was fine. Olympus was not a family that could be brought down easily. They were kings, queens, gods. The heavens stood behind them, encouraging them to succeed in all endeavors and keeping them alive until they were called on to become higher powers.
What was taking them so long, though? She had been here a full season and her sun still had not joined her. She suspected that the boys would spend more time on their own before coming to the new land, but Helios was an entirely different story. She and her husband were inseparable, both giving each other what they were missing - for Natalya it was sight, and for Helios it was confidence. They were loathe to be separated because they completed each other, exactly as the heavens intended.
Deciding to put the thoughts out of her head, Natalya took a deep breath. How long do you think it will be before we take a land for our own? It was not like Olympus to sit idly in wait - they needed to begin scouting and taking what was rightfully theirs.
