Natalya nodded as Phoebe replied, unsurprised by the response she gave. "I thought as much," she said nonchalantly with a shrug. She sighed, shaking her head slightly. It was unfortunate that Virgil had thought it necessary to exclude them from whatever plans she had when she returned and had treated her family as strangers. Natalya could spend her time guessing at reasons, but none would suffice. "I will keep this brief. Helios and I were speaking before we heard Virgil's call. We have seen this family fall into ruin. Our niece has treated us as strangers, her children have questioned our beliefs. My own son betrayed us." She paused, taking an agonizing breath as she thought of her first children. Apollo, standing at the side of his wretched mate. Hermes, buried on a land they no longer had access to. If Natalya wished Virgil victory for any one reason, it would be to be able to return to her son's gravesite. "If Virgil wins this challenge, we will not be joining her. We will support her, but it will be from a second home for the Olympus family. Our values and laws will differ slightly, but our beliefs will not change and family will remain as important as ever. We were running out of space before Katja conquered our lands, already in need of another pack. This will put us ahead of that problem when it comes again. I must know, Phoebe - will you join us?"
