He spoke with an assured voice that Val had not heard from him since his release from Olympus. With this responsibility, she wondered if he might grow into the brave, confident man she knew he could become. Her time alone had forced her to blossom, to find her strength... Perhaps this would be how he found his. She let out a deep breath, one she did not know she'd been holding, and stepped back.

She drew in a deep breath and closed her eyes, planting this moment in her memory, memorizing every scent and sound. The night was so peaceful, bitterly cold, yet there was a warmth in the woman that had nothing to do with the frigid temperatures.

She turned slowly, took a few steps before turning to glance over her shoulder. She would not say good bye, for it was not a farewell. "I'll see ya soon, Kass." -EXIT UNLESS STOPPED- |
