Too Strong for Sadness

The blind woman trailed silently behind her husband, too emotionally weak to put in the effort to find her own way. Reliving the pain of Hermes's loss in the meeting had been difficult enough, but Apollo hadn't been there to learn of it. She would have to suffer it once more, despite only wanting to greet her lost son with affection after finally seeing him for the first time in what had felt like an eternity. She found herself sitting beside her son and exhaling loudly. Helios hadn't been able to get the words out yet and she didn't want to keep the boy guessing. "Apollo, your brother is with the gods now. He was taken by a sickness not long ago." Her voice was quiet and sad, but she kept it even. She had shed enough tears for the death of her child, now she needed to be strong for the one who still lived and the ones that were growing within her. |
