let the ravens gather

*Nemesis* · 09-22-2014, 08:54 PM

Disbelief pulled his attention away from the fight and towards the disgraced Olympians as Hypnos spoke up against Helios. Much was at stake, and yet, the words were briefly elevated above the challenge. Bitter words fell from the mouth of the younger Olympian, tainting the air with an unmatched venom. Stunned that one so young could be so hateful, Nemesis turned wide blue eyes to Hypnos, a twisted sense of curiosity riveting him to this new conflict.

Enraged, Natalya turned on the boy and Nemesis, having no prior knowledge of the situation, was left to piece it together. His aunt's words left little to the imagination and the autumn hued Olympian was quick to gather the gist of what was going down.

His aunt spat at Hypnos, casting hateful, ugly words upon a small boy's head as if he were an adult and not a child. Rage that such a disgraceful display would come from the one who'd taken his mother's place would compel him, and in a flash Nemesis was standing, his hackles rising. He shook, righteous anger filling him. ?Natalya,? he would utter her name, his tone frosty and shaking with emotion. ?You are blind.? If Hypnos had been cast aside because of his leg, why hadn't the same been done to his aunt? Why had she, one who was equally flawed, been chosen as Helios' mate? How about her position as alpha? More importantly, what of Gaia? His voice would rise with his next words, indignation lacing each syllable. ?Are you saying that Gaia should have been tossed off a cliff too? Or crushed while she was still helpless??

Disgust painted his features as he looked upon his aunt with new eyes. 'You hypocrite' they seemed to say.

If only she could see the look on his face.
