This was the final resting place of her child, a place as sacred to her as the gods themselves. It was a place of peace and remembrance, yet two things threatened her composure. First, the scent of his traitorous brother floated to her nose, disappearing as quickly as it had come. Apollo had turned away from her brother because of his own stubborn attitude and fear. She was still angry at him for his betrayal, and even more so knowing he couldn't set aside that hatred to join his family in their moment of mourning.



The second came as her youngest litter trickled in. Alectrona, ever insightful, plunged into an emotional speech before knowing exactly who they were there to see. The feeling in her words brought a tear to Nat's eye, but it did not fall. Spiteful words and laughter from her other daughter caused her head to snap around and body to react, bringing her muzzle within an inch of Chione's face. It took every ounce of strength within her to keep from attacking the girl and punishing her, but ultimately it was a voice in the back of her mind that drove her to restraint.



If she attacked her daughter, here and now, they would fear her. Perhaps even believe that she thought they were as useless as the child she'd attempted to kill. She could not lose anymore children, physically or emotionally, so she contained herself. Let Helios lash out physically if he desired, and she would support it, even endorse it. "Watch your tongue, child," she hissed angrily. "You have not even begun to know chaos. You do not know the hardships we suffered that were far worse before your birth. And you have no right speaking that way, nor laughing, at a grave site!"



She rose back up, to her tallest position, and gestured to the mound. "This is the final resting place of your older brother, Hermes. He was taken from us by an illness that took many in this land. He passed after the plague had taken control of his mind and forced him to attack us." Her head turned in Helios's direction and her voice softened. "He was brave and strong, and intensely loyal to his family, and he would've loved to meet you all. I wish he could have."
