Family...

Meanwhile...

Keira followed Persephone to a quiet spot, leaving them in private before looking around to check it was clear nudged her to gain her attention, “Yes?!” Keira looked around once more before asking, “So Damian told me about Abigail; who is she?” Persephone sighed before taking her arm, leading her into another empty room spoke calmly and in a mutter, “She’s his... well our daughter. One night we made love after I paid him; just to help him make some extra coin and on that night I conceived, she’s technically Gratian’s stepsister-big one and much like her father has anger problems!” “Runs in the family!” Keira joked but seeing the glare from Persephone stopped to acknowledge her seriousness, “Hear this. She is a lot like her father, so treat her as such and Triss...” Triss looked over to listen as she heard, “Don’t say anything!” she nodded as she knocked on the door waiting for the response.

“Come in mother!” Persephone walked in with her friends and looking over to Abigails glare heard her speak, “Your knocks are always so cowardly; what do you want?” “Abigail... I have come to introduce you to...” “Keira! So this is the human he has the eyes for. I expected more, look at you! Just a bag of bones... at least my mother is an Isu, even if she is pathetic!” “Abigail!” “What?! Going to try and punish me! You know I am stronger than you!” “I will not have you talking to me like that. Furthermore what has put you in this irritated mood; you aren’t usually like this!” she looked over to Triss before spitting on her face snapped, “This waste of space. Do you know he still cares for you?” Triss froze before stuttering out a response of, “M...m...me?” she nodded before getting her knife to cut an pomegranate into smaller pieces spoke, “Yeah... and it’s makes him weak. I ask father why? or how? And all I get is; from deep down within me I still feel her affection and my love for her. As far as I see it, you are the cancer that runs through his veins, I hate it!” “Abigail... your father!” Keira began but laughing she pointed to her mirror that showed the latest progression in her fathers mission, “Little Hermes... soooo easy to manipulate, I know he was gone and furthermore I know of his argument and I must say, where’s the support Keira? you love him yet don’t support his actions!” “She’s just an mislead soul who needs help, his help!” Keira spoke, “No... she killed two gods and destroyed the whole running of Hela’s compound; she should be executed, he’s right! You don’t even understand what he was saying!” “He was thinking if he kills her he will go back to himself, it doesn’t work like that!” “No... he believes he needs to go back to the way he was, to when he was Zantano-Thánatos, when he had everything and when he met Triss! He wants to be happy but you would deny him that for your own moral means!” “It’s different!” “Is it? You’ve killed humans and Wildhunt without caring and yet you judge him? Ironic isn’t it!” Abigail spoke before looking over to see the young boy behind Keira spoke, “You must be Gratian!” he nodded as she crouched over, “I won’t hurt you, you’re my brother and we are both born with weak mothers but we aren’t weak are we?” he shook his head as she offered him an apple to eat, “As long as you are my brother I won’t hurt you!” he nodded hugging her but growling she spoke, “You see brother, you know how we fix father?” “How?” “We need to go to the source and... kill it!” she yelled charging at Triss but being pushed back by Persephone was quickly joined by Hermes running in as Keira pushed Triss out of the room, “Gratian, you can talk to her later... Hermes the door!” Persephone snarled, “Why is she doing this?” “She is Damian’s daughter she feels what he did but his genes are dominant so instead of finding you desirable or whatever he felt for you; her feelings are at a more primal state of anger and madness... she wants you dead!” Triss backed away quicker before seeing the messenger pop back up on their screen watched the latest scene.
