A frigid wave overcame the boy as Natalya spoke. Every word that left her lips hit him like physical blow. He felt gut-punched, his lungs struggling to function properly as if a great weight pressed on his sides. He was shocked, caught completely off guard by this twist of events, and fearful for his mother's safety. His first reaction was to want to go after her and aid her in any way necessary. His second reaction was to feel betrayed. Why hadn't she told him she was leaving? She hadn't even said good-bye. There wasn't time to dwell on it, though. A rough command from his uncle started the boy out of his thoughts. He froze; as an heir he was rarely ordered around and therefore unaccustomed to thoughtlessly acting at the urging of others. It only took a couple of heartbeats for him to process what what happening and the conclusion he came to only served to draw out his inaction. If Helios had been expecting an immediate response he was surely disappointed. Nemesis was thoroughly confused by his uncle's aggression. Why was he acting like that? Charon was cool! "But Helios," As his uncle neared the boy would begin to move reluctantly from Charon's side. His mother hadn't raised a respectless brat; as little as he liked it, he knew he no choice but to comply. Still, he could and would complain until commanded otherwise. "He didn't do anything wrong."
