PARTING IS SUCH SWEET SORROW

It is time. Her princes and princesses are strong enough now, their knees no longer wobbly as she observes them in their daily adventures. She adores them, both her own and Raisa?s, and the thought of returning to Olympus almost feels like a knife to her chest. And yet, it is inevitable. They are both determined women, and Virgil Olympus has a life to lead. She cannot live here playing housewife through her whole existence; there is a world and she means to take it by fire.
She calls for her children, both her own and Raisa?s along with her ebony-pelted lover, and reclines. Other pack members are, of course, welcome to show their faces and say their goodbyes. Virgil trusts them, but the affair will be an emotional one, and she will already struggle with parting from her mate and her step children. It is a pain she wishes she didn?t have to bare, but it is necessary.
Perhaps one day things will be easier, but today will be the first day she breaks her children?s hearts.
