Get Out of Hell Free Card
Is Hera alive? Safe? Did my bargaining work? Did Zeus set me free? Am I imagining all of this? Another nightmare? Did I really escape or just trade one prison for another? I have so many questions and no answers.
Hera
Queen Undone: The Red Pill
I groaned in pain as several thousand years of memories rushed back in. I felt nauseous and struggled to put everything into perspective. I felt Zeus kiss my hands, and I opened my eyes, immediately remembering every argument, every laugh, every moment with him.
A Queen Undone: Death and Taxes
“You are the reason I am what I am. You are the strength in my heart, the fire in my eyes. You are the most beautiful creature that has ever lived, and every day without you has been worse than death. Something I sadly have experience in,” Zeus said.
Oh, how her heart aches
A man was sitting at the foot of the tree. I couldn’t see him, but I could tell he was sad. If my heart had arms, it would have reached for him.
There is Always a Price
“That after everything you did, after everything she did, I watched them take her away, and I actually felt guilty.” I stop, raising my head to look at him. It is the first time I admitted that to anyone. Let alone myself. “So yeah, guess my crimes have earned me eternity.”
Queen Undone: Bring the Storm
His back is towards me as he stares out at the night sky. It makes my heart drop. My father is usually confident and happy. It is hard to see him anything but that.
A Queen Undone: Unlocking time
The hands were still spinning in lazy, counter-clockwise circles. I looked down at the watch. My eyes glowed in the reflection in the glass, but…nothing. I could feel no power surging through me, no pull into the watch.
It’s About Time
“Be careful with that powder,” Than murmured as he continued to study the substance. “Something about this…” He stopped talking as the sandy dust lifted from his fingers and spiraled upwards towards the watch.
Left Behind
I ran my fingertips over the golden edge of the sundial, hesitating. I hadn’t seen my siblings in so long that even though I was terrified at what had just happened to me, I couldn’t bring myself to visit them.
But, Wait. There is more, Part II
Maybe I couldn’t get through that door, but I knew who could. Leaning down, I kissed his cheek, “We’re bringing you home, Z.”
The Fall of Ate, Part IV
“When the first drop of rain falls from the sky, you will be forgotten. My family will be safe, with you a forgotten memory.”
Titans Rising – A Simple Task
“We’ve known each other for a while, Hera, and now you, like everyone else, will suffer.”
Titans Rising – Goddess Gone Wild
Apparently my team had been losing…badly. So I did what any self-respecting Goddess would do in this situation. I cheated.
Titans Rising – Oh My Hera
“Look, you’re not taking me back to those boring Gods who tried to stop me. Move out of my way before I smite you like those stupid mortals.”
Don’t You Dare Leave Us!
He put his hand on top of mine and gently squeezed. “He’s still alive, little one, don’t fret.”
