—— clattering to the floor, ricocheting off the kitchen walls. Mutterings becoming more and more incoherent. “ Stay and live. . . stay alive. My baby don’t go back. I need you alive. You need to be alive. ”

Hands grip the bow tighter to contradict her shaking arms. Brown eyes threaten, the piercing headache ebbing into her skull told her what it was as she watched like a frightened child as her mother was gripped by the thralls of prophecy. She felt 6 years old again,

She fears the bow naught, standing in its line of sight. Only her please fill the silence, mindless mutterings of monsters and death. The woman’s eyes flash green, a pained cry as she grips her hair with white knuckled fists. Images ——

Tis was the fate of all demigods. She'd accepred as much through the plagues of visions and monster attacks. She'd nearly been killed once if her seeker hadnt found her just in time. Daphne never counts on making it to 18.

The woman’s voice broke, it’s already hoarse nature cracking with genuine fear laced throughout. Her visions were bad as ever, flashes of blood and death. Darkness always followed after. Her hands reached out, moving to grip the wrist of her ——

She could hardly remember seeing her mother lucid, those moments had become so rare by the time she was old enough to commit them to memory. She hardly knew the woman her mother had been. Daphne tensed, like a frightened animal

A fractured mind such as her’s still manages moments of clarity, though they’re so few and far between. Her body knew she was a mother of two, but her brain often forgot. Carefully pushing herself up from the table, she’d take a step closer ——

She'd thought she left this place for good half a decade ago, resigned herself to the fact that in her mothers delirium she only knew of one child, the boy she'd lamented the fate of since long before Daphne was born. She'd grown since then,

She knew the figure before her to be too small to be Luke, too delicate to be his hard head. It held the tenseness that had disappeared years ago, but the softness of her baby. A crooked smile cracking as her daughter spoke to her. “ You came back. ”

Her blood fell cold, eyes shooting open with that one word. She stood, hands pressed against the table, trembling as she gripped onto it like a lifeline. She never thought she'd hear her name fall from her mothers voice again. She resented the woman.. so why- "Mama?"

The voice that greets her is an echo of the one she remembered—hoarse and aged. It brings a smile to her worn features. “ Luke, my baby! You’re alive! ” She’s moving to embrace him, her clothes emanating a smoky scent. “ I knew it. I prayed to Hermes to ——
