Too Strong for Sadness

She breathed deeply, composing herself and settling on a stoic look as she listened to her son's emotional outburst and husband's response. She was a queen in her own right, and while she felt nothing but love and compassion for her family she knew now more than she had before that she needed to be their strength, especially Apollo's. Their gods had certainly chosen Helios for a reason and it was time that everyone accepted it. She used this thought to push against the part of her that threatened to burst into tears again, and spoke in a louder, even voice. "Apollo, enough. You blame yourself for too much too often. Despite your certainty that you are the cursed son, it is not true. It is not your fault in the slightest that your brother has died. The gods chose him to serve them directly, and unfortunately it was too soon for the rest of us to be comfortable with." She paused to stretch her head over to him and give him a lick on the cheek. "You must be strong now, for you have new siblings on the way. I am certain that they will idolize both of their brothers, and they will count on you to tell stories of the one that they never had the chance to meet." |
