“I left simply because I felt like I was not needed at this time. When I feel they need me I shall return. I do wish that you at least enjoy your duties. Though I am enjoying this break, a deep part of me misses what I used to do. It was how I was raised, but at the same time I was tired of seeing mothers letting their children go of to die..”

“One day I will tell you why I am bound to duty but..” she offered the other goddess a smile. “That day is not today, I understand what you mean… I am a goddess of death, I’ve seen many children, young men and women cross the river styx to the realm of the dead for no other reason that some other power play.” She had protected children the best she could manage. “I enjoy the spring and summer… I’m a goddess of life more than death– and I can be with the man I love during the off season.”
