Kori
“It requires eye contact and nothing else. I will share with you the memories, the happier memories, of my life with your father. Would that help you trust me?”

“Well, how do you feel now? Wingless and soon to be headless, at the hands of the only woman you ever loved.”
She pouts at me, and if she were standing, she would likely have stomped her foot. “T-that’s not fair!” “When has Love ever been fair?”
“Did you know? Did you know this whole time? Was this some kind of sick joke you played at my expense?”
“I told you that if you defied me there would be consequences. Although, I didn’t think your soul would be strong enough to break out of that dagger.”
“The masters said not to kill the love god, that he needs to get the staff, but they won’t know if we take a bite…”
Eros shot Clio a look, his brows furrowed as he playfully nudged her. “Why can’t she light Pan’s tail on fire? Payback seems like a perfect justification.”
“The visions,” Dinlas says aloud. “That’s why we both had visions, Eros. If that dimension is crumbling, it’s becoming porous.”
I return his punches, the anger giving me inordinate strength, and between returning strikes, the truth slips from me. “She! Took! My! Wings!”
“I know that. I would never hurt Clio, but I also don’t think I should be the one you’re worried about, Starlight.”
Because I wasn’t wrong before. I didn’t see things that weren’t there; it was not a trick of the light. Those are her eyes.
“Just because we grew apart doesn’t mean I don’t still love you.” He clears his throat. “As one of my best friends.”
I can’t even believe my eyes as Ate flies past me, falling to the ground with a speed even Hermes would have trouble tracking.
My heart dropped in my chest after hearing my mother speak up, bringing me back to reality. He will never love you…
A wedding tune. My eyes go wide, and I glance around waiting for another god to step up to what I now realize is an altar.
