Nephele…..

After reading her letter immediately she made a small fire quickly burning it. Watching the paper reduce to nothing but ash for the first time in a long time she struggled with what to do. Receiving confirmation Eva could potentially be Bettes daughter was nothing in comparison to the other information revealed. Gaia concerned about her friend and marriage wrote in grave detail all that transpired since their journey began. She didn’t know what she found more disturbing the fact that Bette slept with her wife Cybele once upon a time ago, the wild fueled orgy nights, how she and Bette came close to stilling each others lives, Kellys continuous sexual advances, and the most unsettling confirming Bette would have remained with Kelly if their child had not died. Knowing Bette would have choose Kelly over her, despite encouraging words deep down she knew Tinas heart would never recover if she known the truth. Although, Bette had written Tina a few times nothing included in Gaias letter had been conveyed to her and rightfully so. The date on the letter was written before Tina and she discovered Evas identity which meant Gaia had uncovered the truth as well the question remained had Bette been informed of the possibility? Confronting Eva and now a letter written by Gaia a confidant yet sickening feeling washed over her. Ignoring her instincts she needed more than Evas physical looks and word of mouth to convince her otherwise the state of her family was at stake. While she continued to think, she made a promise to herself when she came face to face with her sister again after greeting her with a warm embrace next she would place foot to ass!

As her stallion made her way up the path towards her home Jaeil dismounts grabbing her reigns guiding her towards the tying post. Securing her reigns she gently grabs Alani by her waist lifting her of her horse. Entering her home she walks into her bedroom closing the door behind her without uttering a single word. Alani left alone and in pain enters the kitchen to prepare Ate her evening meal as promised. Grimacing in pain as the warm water coated her swollen hands she washed away the dirt and dried blood. Removing the boar meat from the ice filled canteen she places it before her. Grabbing another bowl she fills it with water and places it a few inches in front of Ate. Peering out from the kitchen she glanced in the direction of Jaeils room. Her silence proved deathly as she had not spoken a single word to her the entire time they traveled to her home. Her immediately retreating to her room was a clear indication she was angry as she had inconvenience her yet again. Looking to ease the pain from her throbbing head and wounds she enters into the living area falling asleep.
