LAST TIME:

"Rhea-." But he stopped as he looked at my eyes full of determination he just slowly nodded as I gave him a smile.

"Very well, gather the necessary guards and gear to descend to the plain of darkness." He said as I shook my head.

"No I am going alone if we go in a group we will only attract monsters, if I go alone I can go unnoticed by them. Just give me the material for my journey tomorrow the island should be going over the only part of the plain of darkness light can touch. I don't know how long it will take but each time Mount Othrys passes the spot look for me, I shall wait for you there with our child." I said in a tone that left no room for argument as Kronos gulped but nodded.

"We will prepare the materials my Queen and tomorrow you shall depart. Let us just hope our child is okay." He said as I looked at the endless river that ran from the middle of Mount Othrys and off the end of the floating island. I knew Hestia was alive she had the blood and Kronos and me in her she was bound to be fine, let us just hope that she found a safe place to hide. She was always the best at playing hide and seek even for being only a few months old.

NOW:

THRID PERSON POV:

Near silent footsteps could be heard as Rhea walked in the silent darkness around her, her feet running over solid rock. Nothing but a backpack of supplies and a black cloak given to her by Prometheus covering her body and face. This all black cloak made her blend into her surroundings much easier and in a way almost made her feel like she was part of the darkness. Her brown eyes peering into darkness as she hear the sound of claws running against stone.

She just slowly turned her head to the side as she looked upon a hellhound who was paying her now mind. But simply the size of the beast sent shivers down her back as she saw the beast rake is claws across the stone to sharpen them. Small sparks lighting up the air as I stretched its massive 40 foot body and then laid back down with a loud thud. Rhea could only hold her breath as she picked up her pace.

It had been a month since Rhea had entered the shadow world or as she like to call it Earth. But still she had found nothing and he supplies were running out. For some reason the darkness even seemed to be sucking her magic out of her leaving her nearly powerless. However even still in this whole month she had yet to find anything, not even a trace of Hestia was left. Slowly this mother was losing hope as found her search growing hopeless.

Suddenly a massive wave of wind her hit her as her hood was thrown back and her hair was left whipping in the wind. Dust pelted her in a constant stream so she was forced to bring a hand up to her eyes. Whoever suddenly she felt the pieces of rock getting bigger as they began to scratch her skin and tear at her flesh. She just winced in pain as she saw golden blood trail down her hand as she felt more pieces of rock get lodged inside her skin.

"I need to find a safe place for a while." She said to herself as she stuffed her long hair back inside her cloak and pulled up the hood. But still her cloak was nearly ripped off her as she began to trudge through the wild winds. But as she walked through the sand storm she noticed many creatures big and small beginning to run past her. They paid her no mind as she looked up to see drakons, hellhounds, and many other very frightening creatures.

But the look on their faces was something else their eyes shown fear that monsters as fearsome as them should ever show. She just looked up from her crouched position and past the stampede of animals and monsters to see something that made her shiver. It was nothing but a outline but what she could see was a dragon, a species long forgotten by the primordials to roam the land of darkness. Whoever she was used to seeing dragons in the sky around Mount Othrys, but this one seemed different.

But then it opened its mouth and let out a torrent of red flames that even penetrated this ungodly darkness. However only then did she realize how big the dragon was, with the light from the fire in the air dis she see the dragon's claw holding a full grown 50 foot drakon like she would hold a salamander. She then began to suspect this sandstorm around her was made from its massive wings flapped once increasing the winds tenfold.

"Shit, shit, shit..." She repeated again and again as she stood up began to run away with the heard of fearful animals. However she one of Prometheus's creations that he had called a 'stag' he had attempted to make them like Pegasus's but he failed and left them down here. However the time was not one to choose a better steed as she jumped off the ground and landed on the back of the stag.

The beast was frightened by her sudden attempt to ride it but was only pushed to run faster as a roar shook the air as Rhea gripped the stag's horns. The stag was quick which Rhea thanked as she rode the animal away from the dragon. The size of the stag was that of a horse which only helped Rhea ride the animal skillfully past other animals. However it was then as a massive boom was heard as Rhea looked back to see another light.

This caused Rhea to force the stage to break from the heard and make a U turn around a large stone. She didn't stop there as she leaned close to the body of the stag to keep herself from falling off as she forced it to climb a slanted rock that came out of the ground. But the rock ended in a cliff that Rhea was forced to stop on top of as the stag reared back but stayed put in fear of its horns breaking from the firm grip the women no is back.

The view however from her cliff to see the two beasts that were at least a mile away. The wind parting around the massive cliff point leaving Rhea to pull down her hood and face mask to get a better look. The light from the smaller beast enough to make the whole area visible as it seemed to be forcing the dragon to stay on the ground. However as she looked closer she noticed the light from the smaller beast was reduced to a torso.

Wait...Torso? Rhea had to squint and lean dangerously on the stags horns which made it whine in protest. However it did not move from its spot as Rhea tried to look closer however what she saw made her eyes go wide. With the overwhelming light radiating off the dragons shinny scales she could make out four metal covered limbs around the torso of the...titan? She was going to leave what species the thing was for later. For now she swallowed hard and continued to watch the fight from her faithful and still whining stead.

However as she watched she could only be amazed as the dragon that was nearly twice the size of any other dragons was being pushed back by this being. The dragons flames seemed to do nothing to the being as it wielded what seemed to be a pole as I a weapon. Molten ground surrounded the two as they fought, with each wing beat it only seemed to fuel the flames surrounding them as the being glowed brighter each time the new burst of air hit him. This in turn only proceeded to melt the ground faster as Rhea looked in awe.

Some of the warmth from the fires and molten rock reaching her cheeks as she shivered, it had been a month since she felt anything besides a deep chill. This warm was almost comforting to her as she watched, suddenly however the dragons rear right foot sound a deep pit of magma as it sunk up to its knee. With that the dragon stumbled forward and at the same time started to fall forward.

The being however took advantage of this as he swung the pole like a...well a pole and hit the dragon's head dead on. But the force was not enough to knock the dragon out as it caught itself and gave its head a shake as it snarled and turned back to man as she let off a roar. The instant he did suddenly both the man's forearms were snatched up in the dragon's claws as the beast began to fly upwards as Rhea watched in horror as they light they gave off slowly disappeared into the sky.

Soon the world was dark again other than a blemish of a dull grey that existed not as a light source but almost as if a way to tease the animals of the world. Rhea couldn't hear anything at this point, the world went silent just as it was before. Even the stag's breathing lightened to a point she couldn't hear it. However if there was one thing she could hear or at least feel it was her heart that was pounding faster and faster.

For some reason she found herself awaiting the result of the battle as she looked up at the grey dot in the sky. However as she did suddenly the light began to grow and grow until through a massive black shield of clouds emerged the victor. Falling from a height that wouldn't have been survivable for any species was the man standing on the stomach of the dragon as his pole was buried deep in the dragon's chest. However she could only make out one arm remaining on the man's body as they fell.

Even then she noticed pure white gashes on his chest and body that looked like claw marks, however as they fell the dragon's body which was facing the ground began to glow red. She then saw streams of superheated air part around them as the man drove the pole deeper into the dragon until it was buried up to a point on his hand could grip what was left. But then she noticed the dragon wiggle under the man as they were about halfway down.

Rhea then witness something that was beyond her comprehension as suddenly a massive column a few hundred feet in radius and a few thousand feet in length appeared where the pole the man was using. The effects were immediate as the dragon was torn in two and the pole made a massive boom as the end planted itself in the ground. She just watched in awe as the two pieces of the dead dragon fell down as the man stood silently on top of the column that was easily larger than any building she had ever seen.

But in a way this seemed to be a symbol too as he appeared to be a light of hope that all could go to. His glowing body a torch in the darkness as Rhea suddenly pulled on the stags horns forcing it to turn back down he cliff as she pushed it to its limits. She used the light of the man in the sky for as a guide as she forced the stag to race after it. In about an hour she finally reached the base of the pole which was still slowly shrinking in length.

As she reached it she hopped off her steed which took the opportunity to run as fast as from that place as it could. But Rhea didn't mind as she looked up to the pole to see she still had a little time before he touched down on the ground. But then her gaze turned to the torn in two dragon as its body lay twitching on the ground as she slowly approached its lower half. Its scales still red from the heat from the fall as she gently ran a hand across them.

But she then noticed a few scales that were dislodged from the carcass as she went over to them and picked them up. As she did she put them in her endless storage backpack for later use, it was known that dragon scales were harder than most metals and Prometheus would have a hay day if he got his mitts on a few of these. But then a loud landing sound could be heard a few hundred feet away as she turned to see an arm.

She gagged a little but held down her bile as she looked at the severed arm of the man as lay lifeless on the ground. But she didn't dare approach it as she turned back to the task of gathering scales, soon though she had collected well over a hundred scales she turned back to the pole just in time to see the man jump off the top.

However as she saw the 100 foot tall man jump off the pole with a loud boom she just palled at the sight of him as he touched the pole as it suddenly shrunk back to a size comfortable for him. But she just swallowed harshly as the man slowly turned to her as he used the pole as a cane. Rhea then recognized the massive man as he starred down at Rhea, this was Perseus the human as Prometheus called it. But he shouldn't have survived the fall in the state he was in she thought as they locked eyes.

Then she witnessed the answer to her reasoning as suddenly he began to push the massive gashed closed with ease. Slowly the gashes disappeared with ease as he finally finished leaving an average looking male torso. But then he turned away from her and walked over to his severed arm and grabbed it with his other. Then as if it was nothing serious put the stump to stump and waited 10 seconds then let go as his now perfectly functioning arm grabbed the pole.

"What?" Rhea asked herself as the man turned to her with a look of....surprise...at least that is what she thought with how messed up his face looked. But then he suddenly began to walk towards her as she backed up but his massive strides her to quick. Soon her face was flushed red from the red from the heat of his chest as he squatted down in front of her. But he just starred at her as Rhea gulped in fright.

At this point she began to notice the reason why his arms weren't glowing was because they were covered what looked to be an abnormally platinum shade of metal. But the style they were designed in a fashion she had never seen before. The plates seemed all be connected underneath the next in a scale like fashion, but still it looked machine like. However as she noticed a crawl of black skin growing from his reattached arm as the skin stopped at his biceps but red cracks then began to spread up to his shoulders where they stopped on each side.

"C-Can you hear me?" She asked as he slowly nodded as she let out a breath of relief but still didn't lower her guard.

"Can you talk?" She asked as she raised an eyebrow as she sighed.

"Can you do what I am doing with my mouth?" She asked him as he shook his head as she nodded confirming his knowledge.

"Do you know what you are?" She asked as her curiosity ran through her. He however nodded as she was surprised. But he simply pointed at himself and nodded again as she was confused for a second until she realized what he was trying to say.

"You are you and nobody else." She said as he nodded and what looked like a smile appeared on his face. But then he slowly stood up and walked over to the top half of the dragon he then grabbed a horn on the beast and began to drag it with him as she walked well ran after him as he went to the other half and picked it up as well. He then turned to her and motioned for her to follow him, but before she could say anything he turned back around and kept walking.

She just sighed and ran and jumped on the top half of the dead dragon's wings as Perseus effortlessly pulled it along the rocky terrain. Rhea just sighed again as she glanced at the man once again as she bit her lip in effort not to ask more question. If she had to guess Hestia would go to the brightest place on this plane like animals to a light. So her best chance was to follow the massive glowing man if she wanted to find her daughter.

LINEBREAK:

RHEA POV:

I slowly awoke s I rubbed my tired eyes, I just blinked a few times and let out a large yawn to accompany my status on how tired I was. But as I sniffed twice I smelt something different from the normal dust of the black plains as I turned to see I was no longer laying on the dragon's wing. Instead I was laying on an actual bed with different monsters and animal furs, I quickly sat up but as I did I felt something grabbing my shirt.

I just slowly looked down to see a sight that instantly brought me to tears, there lied a now 5 year old Hestia. Her soft brown hair was now at her mid back due to its length but her body was covered by a thick looking hellhound fur. But I didn't car as I laid back down and faced my daughter as she smiled in her sleep. She then slowly pulled herself into my chest as the hellhound fur that was draped over us had a nice feeling to it.

However as I pulled Hestia closer to me as I hopped to hold her longer but I was quickly denied that dream as she started to stretch and yawn in her sleep. I gently let go and sat up again as I watched my daughter do the same as I did just a few moments ago. She let out a massive yawn and then looked up at me with tiredness written all over her face. I smiled a little at my child as I took my thumb and wiped some drool away from her mouth as she sneezed as I did.

However as I did wipe the substance away and she recovered from her sneeze she looked up at me as he eyes grew wide with surprise. It only took an instant for her launch herself at me and hug me as I did her, however I was the first to break into tears as I held my precious flame close to me. But as I cried onto my daughters head all I got was a look of confusion from her as I wiped my eyes and smiled at her.

"Oh Hestia you scarred me half to death." I said as I kissed her forehead.

"Mommy I am sorry." She said as she buried her head into my breasts as I smiled.

"It's okay, just don't ever do that again." I said knowing full well that even a week after birth titans know of their actions and how others will respond to them. So in essence it is like children are born with manors installed in them already.

"Sorry I made you worry." She said as I saw tears starting to fall down her face. I just slowly wrapped her up in a hug again.

"I was so scared." She said in a crying voice as I held her tighter.

"I know my little flame I was just as scarred as you were." I said as we hugged for about an hour before we broke apart as I looked down at Hestia to see her eyes slightly red. I am sure mine were as well but I was too busy noticing my daughter's complete nudity. A blush arose to my face as I looked at her.

"Hestia where are your clothes?" I asked her as she looked down at her self and gave me a shy smile.

"Well...they got torn." She said as she hung her head down low, but then I remember when she disappeared her body was much different so I can see how they got torn.

"I see." I said as I took the hellhound pelt around me and wrapped it around her small body as she grinned.

"Now I am a beast of the night." She said in the deepest and probably the cutest voice I had ever heard.

"Yes you are." I said with a chuckled as she jumped off the bed and began to run around as the fur flapped in the wind exposing her nudity. I was going to have to fashion her some undergarments soon, though her butt might be cute (in childlike way you perverts) I cannot have my daughter stark naked. But then the smell entered the air again as Hestia sniffed and smiled as she ran for a small door.

"Hestia wait!" I called but the girl didn't listen as I sighed and went after her, as I exited the house or at least I think it was a house. It didn't have a roof on it but it did open to a much more expansive room. I had a feeling this is what toys felt like almost.

But as I exited the small room I found an interesting site of Hestia and her black cloak of hellhound fur climbing a ladder up a massive...table I think. I followed her with a sigh as I wished not all my children would grow up to be this wild. However as I arrived at the top with a oomph Hestia quickly helped me up and led me to the middle of the table where a much smaller table sat. I just fallowed Hestia as she tried to run with me in tow however with my size I didn't budge as I looked at the massive house.

It had to be at least the same size of the throne room which housed all of our true forms. Which I wasn't able to turn into due to something blocking my magic. But as I followed Hestia was seated at the table with had two chair as Hestia took the other and picked it up. Thankfully the chairs were made of wood as she put her chair by mine as I smiled. In front of us a simple stone table much like the one it sat upon but to our size.

"So mommy are we going home?" She asked in a voice that suggested not apprehension but just simple curiosity.

"Yes we will, Mount Othrys is where we belong." I said as she grew a small thinking face.

"What about Mr. Hope?" She asked me as I rasied an eyebrow.

"Mr. Hope?" I asked as she stood up and acted out Perseus walking around with his cane. However her description was that of an older man bent over his. I just smiled at her as I smelled something getting stronger as we both turned to see Perseus slowly coming into the house with a massive metal disk with something on it. However that something looked suspiciously like meat from a certain dragon that was currently not in the room.

"Hope!" Yelled Hestia as he looked over at us as a smile grew on his deformed face. He simply walked over with his massive stature and set down the roasted meat that smelled amazing. In turn my stomach growl viscously as both Hestia and Perseus heard this and starred at me as I blushed.

"I assume this is for us?" I questioned as he nodded as he took out a metal knife that looked roughly put together but with that he cut through a massive piece of the meat and then again. He did so until there was a 3 foot solid cube of juicy succulent meat, my simply picked it up with the flat of the knife and slide it onto another much smaller plate which he bent down and set on our table.

However I turned back to him as he started cutting up more of the meat until it made it into bite size pieces for him. Which just happened to be about 4 foot cubes of meat as he turned and sat in a chair. However by this time Hestia was drooling at the meat in front of her as she grabbed a smaller knife which kind of looked like a shard of a broken metal.

"You are not using that." I said pulling an actual knife from my waste as I handed it to Hestia as I tossed the dangerous piece of metal away. Hestia just starred at the knife as she proceeded to cut herself a slice of meat and eat it right out of her hand. I just sighed at her manor as I pulled out my extra knife made from celestial bronze just like my other. I did the same she did as I looked at the perfectly cut meat as I tried to hold back my salvia.

But I couldn't resist eating it the same way Hestia did as I slid the piece of dragon meat into my mouth as it exploded in flavor. I was at a loss of words as the meat was better than any I had ever had. It was then I realized I had already swallowed the piece whole as I didn't waste to taste it I was so hungry. I couldn't stop myself from cutting another piece and slowly eating it this time as I relished in its flavor. I turned to see Hestia doing the same as she put a palm of her hand to her cheek and let out a soft moan of pleasure.

I didn't blame her though as I continued eating with Hestia as we struck up a conversation as Perseus occasionally plopped piece of meat into his mouth. Though I had a suspicion that he didn't taste anything. I however didn't peruse an answer as I watched Hestia stuff her mouth with meat as I smiled lightly as I enjoyed the meat as well.

"So...Hope...I guess you are the one who found Hestia?" I asked the giant man as he seemed to think for a second but then nodded as Hestia spoke up.

"Yeah he was the one that found me, all I did was follow the light. Hope was the one that has been fending for me for the past month as well. At first he wasn't very good at it as far as I remember but then he learned quickly. But don't worry mommy he is a nice man and treated me well." She said proudly as I smiled as Perseus smiled again.

"May I ask why you decided to call him hope?" I suddenly asked as Hestia gave me a wide smile.

"Because what is more hopeful than a giant light in the heart of darkness?" She asked as she tilted her head as I felt reason behind her words as I nodded slowly. I swore I heard a female gagging in my head (Nyx reacting to how mush Hestia is) but passed it off as I starred at Hestia.

"I guess it is fitting then, much better than Perseus." I whispered as Hestia leaned toward me.

"What?" She asked as I blinked twice.

"Oh I was just talking to myself. But Hestia we must began our journey tomorrow back home if we don't want to stay in the plane of darkness any longer." I said as Hestia's face fell.

"B-But Hope is coming with us...right?" She asked looking up at the giant man as he slowly shook his head. As he did Hestia looked ready to burst into tears but slowly Perseus opened his mouth and let out a sound that was close to two rocks scrapping up against each other. However through the noise came a very deep and grumbly voice that spoke almost in a quiet tone for his size.

"Yoooou gooooo upp mee's stayyy. Yoooou booootthh little anddd bbbiigg crrreature, yyoou sttayy tttogettherr." He managed as I saw Hestia's heart break a little as she understood his tone.

"B-But I can see you again right?" She asked me as I grew a sad face but steeled myself as I stood up as I turned to her as I wrapped her up in a hug. However due to her emotional state she tried to push me away but I was stronger as I held her close.

"Listen to me please my small flame." I whispered as Hestia tried to struggle for a little longer but eventually gave up as she burst into tears in my chest.

"Hope is always with you please understand that." I said as I bent down as I wiped a stray tear from her cheek as she sniffled at me. Her cheeks and eyes turning a shade of red more than normal due to the tears.

"He will always be with you in here." I said poking her chest as she looked down then up at me. However Perseus seemed confused by this as he tilted his head. I would let him think on that as I continued to speak.

"He will be the light of hope you never will forget, but this is his home and I fear he will not be accepted in our home. But if you wish you will meet him again then I am coming with you do you understand?" I asked her as she nodded with a sniffle as I smiled at her and wrapped her up in a hug again.

"Now lets us prepare for our journey back home, but after one last meal." I said as she smiled and ran back to her seat and began to eat again as I gave Perseus a look as he looked at us confused.

"Now do we have any vegetables?"

LINEBREAK:

The walk back to the peak of light as Hestia called it was short. Mostly due to Perseus caring us in his gloved hands, which I had expected to be boiling hot metal was actually perfectly cold to the touch. The only unbearable thing was the thud with each footstep he took which made your body shake. However during the time Hestia was livid with joy as she kept talking about this...world and things about it.

Seas of black water, mountains that moved, even faint appearances of other titan shaped figures that she saw once. In fact she even says a women that seemed to be made of shadow itself led her to Perseus. Though it was hard to believe I didn't know enough about this place to assume that what she said was a lie. However for the time being I slowly felt Perseus's stop as I turned to see a massive slope in front of us as Perseus slowly kneeled down and let us off.

"This is the place." I said observing the grey surrounding due to the thin layer of clouds above us unlike place Perseus lived where they were much too thick for Helios to penetrate. But in turn Perseus just nodded as he stayed kneeled down as if to conceal himself as he looked up at the small lit area at the peak of the mountain.

"I promise to come and see you again." Said a sniffling Hestia as he nodded as he decided not to speak again seeing as hard as it was for him. But then he reached down and extended a finger towards her. With the lightest of a touch he poked her chest and then reached up and poked his as Hestia's face smiled in happiness but tears of sadness betrayed her. I just smiled at him as he then reached towards a metal case about the size of his head that had been attached to his left arm as he took it off.

"Thiiisss ffforrr fattthher." He rumbled as he set the massive block of special looking metal in front of me as I looked it over.

"What is it?" I asked him as he smiled.

"Gifftt innnsiiidee." He spoke again as I noticed the top wasn't quiet attached to the rest of the square except on one side so it could be open if it was bent open by brut force.

"How am I going to carry this?" I questioned to the massive piece of metal as he tilted his head, he then pointed at my backpack as I shook my head.

"It won't fit." I said as he frowned in confusion. I just sighed at his frustrated face as I took off my backpack.

"Fine let me try." I said as I opened up the top of my backpack as suddenly a suction sound was heard as suddenly the block of metal disappeared. I was shocked to say the least as I looked inside the bag to see the block floating in the endless space the pack had. I just slowly looked up at a smiling Perseus as I nodded.

"I guess it fits." I said as I slung the bag over my shoulders as I turned to a now clothed Hestia. Thankfully I kept spares of clothes in my bag. Though they were big nothing a knife couldn't trim up. She was now dressed in a simple brown toga as she tugged at the uncomfortable cloth. Though with no undergarments it had to be uncomfortable.

"Now we must go if we don't want to miss-." But I was too late as a massive shadow darkened the grey area. With that a feeling of dread filled me as I knew this was the shadow of Mount Othrys flying overhead. But I also knew they could only see me from the edges of the island, this meant we needed to get to the too fast. Hestia was already ahead of me as she was sprinting faster than a child her age should. I too ran after her as we left Perseus to wonder what we were doing as he stayed put.

I quickly came up upon Hestia as I gripped her hand and pulled her faster as we approached the top of the mountain. However we were to slow as the shadow slowly ended as we neared the halfway point of the slope. I then tripped as I face planted in the ground as Hestia managed to stay standing as I pulled myself up to see the quickly moving island through a peak in the clouds.

"No..." I whispered dreading having to stay here for another 6 months. You see the island had a different time cycle with each time it passed over the spot. The last time was one month but this time it was 6 months, I didn't want to say here any longer. However suddenly booming footsteps could be heard as Hestia helped me up as we both saw Perseus slowly running up the slope. However with each step the ground cracked under the pressure as he went faster and faster.

By the time he reached up he was easily going faster than an arrow as he simply used his metal covered hand as a shovel and picked us both up in an instant. Hestia simply screamed in fright as did I with her as wind ripped past us like a storm as the light around us slowly grew more and more. Perseus only going faster with every step as the ground split under his footsteps.

"Hope go faster!" I heard a young and soon to be grounded female scream as she gripped onto one of his fingers that cocooned around us. Though that thought suddenly left me as I saw the darkness finally leave us as Perseus ran through the cloud barrier. However as I peered through his fingers I could still see Mount Othrys as it flew in our opposite direction.

"Hoomme." I heard Perseus say as he sped up only more as we were running out of cliff to run on. Did I ever mention that this place has a lot of cliffs, well it does and this mountain is no exception. But Perseus showed no signs of stopping as he continued on with his sprint as he was going faster than I thought possible for a begin his size.

It was at the end of the road by this time as suddenly Perseus with all his might jumped off the edge of the cliff. For the fourth time a boom sounded (Mach 4 is that boom) as he sailed into the air. By this time I was screaming like Hestia as we sailed through the air as a roar of wind rushed past us. But as I peeked through my eyes I saw the island quickly approaching us however at our current projector we might not make it.

However my stupid thoughts betrayed me as suddenly I felt us being lifted up as one of Perseus hands came apart from the cover around us. With that I closed my eyes and wished for it to end as Hestia hung onto me. Then with a massive stopping force I slammed into the fingers of Perseus hands as I bounded off of it. While the pain was immense and my head pounded from hitting the wall of fingers I smiled as I looked at a safe Hestia who was wrapped up in my arms.

Perseus then began to lift up his hand again as suddenly the fingers opened as I slid off his hand. But what I didn't expect was the solid ground under my body as I slowly raised my head to see a massive hand gripping at the edge of a cliff. My head was throbbing at this point but I slowly slid Hestia onto the ground as I looked over the edge to see Perseus looking up at me with a smile. A sea of clouds bellow him as didn't seem to mind as he raised his other hand and waved at me.

"Yooouuu hoommme nooowww. Stayyy safffe." He said as he suddenly let go of the end of Mount Othrys with that he simply smiled at me as he was swallowed by the clouds. The only evidence of him even clinging to the island was the massive grip mark on the edge.

"..." I was too stunned to do anything as I slowly reached out to sea of clouds but stopped as I brought my hand back to my chest. But then slowly I heard the sound of footsteps rushing towards me as I felt hands grip at my arms and pull me away from the edge of the island as I slowly turned to see a palace guard.

"Rhea are you okay?" He asked me but his words fell on depth ears as I turned to Hestia as I saw her slowly sit up as she rubbed her head.

"Hestia." I said as I stood up as the guard helped steady me but before I could take a step I nearly face planted again as my head grew fuzzy. Thankfully one of the guards caught me as he helped me to the ground.

"Get a stretcher!" He yelled as Hestia noticed me but then she slowly looked around as her eyes landed on the sea of clouds we were passing over.

"He did it." She whispered as she stood up and walked over to me as they were placing me on a stretcher. They let her do as she pleased as the guards picked me up and began quickly walking to the hospital. Hestia in tow as the guards looked her over for injuries as she had her gaze set on the sea of clouds. It was then I saw a new flame in her eyes as she seemed to take on a new mission for herself.

If I had to guess it was then when the fates decided to give her the domain of hope as she made it a mission to become like Perseus a beacon of hope.
