CHEWING ON ANGEL WINGS

Gods above he hated this place.  Still he would force himself to come back, new scents would lace over the old with each passing day and the possibility of bolstering Pantheon’s ranks was a driving force unlike any other. This time as he crossed the blood stained earth a scent he recognized assaulted his senses.

Thanatos? His adopted son’s name entered his head like a sudden hurricane. Emotions he had suppressed pushing to the forefront. He had not gone a single day without thinking about the children Katja had stolen from him. He had lost too many children in his life time and he felt the loss of his adopted ones just as he had Hermes’ or Apollo’s loss. He had resigned himself to being separated from them when Katja had taken them and though Virgil’s victory over the dappled woman had lifted a great weight from his shoulders he had known they were like to live with their mother now, though weather the golden woman deserved to be called that he was unsure.

He had not seen them though, Virgil had sent no one to free them and now she seemed to be gone again. Helios made a mental note to travel to ebony and retrieve his family. For now though… he’d follow the scent of his son. A stranger’s scent also hit his nose, and as it became clear that Thanatos and this unknown woman were both together he picked up his pace, the fur along his spine rising.

The woman that stood before his child set him on edge instantly and he flew forwards protective rage bubbling from within. "He has a name." He roared, stepping over the boy to block her advance towards him. "But you will leave him be."
