I sold my soul for this ~Porcia~

[Hestia]

She looks to the young girl, a gentle smile on her face. Porcia’s innocence is a reminder to Hestia of exactly why people like herself are important to Beqanna. It’s so that others like Porcia do not loose their light. They need light, they are in desperate need of light and hope these days. Each and every one of them are. The political air bodes dark times ahead. And Porcia’s presence reminds her of why she will do what she does even if she dreads it. She gives a small chuckle at the girl’s response. Well then, you are in for a nice surprise She listens to the girl and wonders aloud. Why is it that you left? There’s a twinge in her voice that Hestia recognizes all to well.

There are, and I hope that I can inspire more to come as well, ah shit there she did it. Why’d she need to go and say something like that. She hopes the child doesn’t notice the implication of her words. Quickly moving on in the conversation to describe the sands and caves to the best of her abilities. When they reach Nerine she pushes aside the branches revealing the flat top field of grasses, hills, pools, and beyond it all the ocean. She gestures towards the cliffside trail. There is where we can get down to the beach and caves. Seagulls squall overhead in their greetings.

Her heart tugs at seeing the child’s face. How she’s missed this. Missed having a doe eyed companion in her life. She nudges the girls shoulder warmly, its as much affection as anyone can expect from the old bitch. But there is something about the girl that compels her to be nice. Well as nice as nice can be for someone like her. Hestia allows the girl to walk past her before following past the trees herself. Welcome to Nerine
