to victory

The meeting with their family had been pleasing, to say the least. While the whole family had not yet arrived, more had been trickling in by the day. Natalya could feel it in her bones - she would be seeing Helios soon. It was inevitable now and there was no way her instincts could be wrong. The heavens would never betray her in such a way.
