Cerulean Cape Live, Love, Laugh

Grayday took her bitter words without flinching and gave her the honest truth right back in her sniffling face - that took a moment to mull over. She wanted them both there with her, was that a bad thing? Amber didn't pull away from her mate,wasn't upset in the slightest in the way he was speaking- in fact, when she'd again opened her mouth, the tone was back to almost normal. Her eyes were still unfocused, staring off at the crashing waves before them. Dag pulled closer, agreeing - she heard his request, nodded, but when spoke again it was in reguard to Day's question.

                   "I don't want either of you to leave: I want you both. I want to be a happy little family like I'd always seen in my head - but that means you two have to get along, be okay with sharing. I don't know if that's fair of me, but you wanted to hear it."

Now, she took a deep breath, steadying herself and thinking of a story - the first one that came to mind was Corona Borealis. With a quivering paw, the soon-to-be-mother pointed to the ring of stars her ocean orbs were focused on. 

                                                                "Corona Borealis - Ariadne's Crown. 
Minos, the second king of Crete, had a
great labyrinth built to confine the ferocious
Minotaur. The maze was so complex and
confusing that even the designer, Daedalis, was
almost unable to find his way back to the
entrance. Each year, King Minos exacted, as
part of his tribute from Athens, twelve of the
most handsome or beautiful young people to be
placed in the labyrinth as food for the monster.
In the third group to be selected was Theseus, King of Athens. Minos’ daughter
Ariadne, fell in love with Theseus and offered to help him if he would take her
away with him when he escaped. He agreed. She gave him a ball of magical
thread to unwind while he was in the labyrinth so that when he killed the
Minotaur he could follow the thread and find his way out again. Theseus
attacked and killed the terrible monster and then followed the magical thread
and was able to find his way out of the labyrinth. Theseus sailed away from
Crete taking Ariadne with him and went to the island of Naxos where he
deserted Ariadne and sailed to his home.
Ariadne had nowhere to go and was extremely sad when Bacchus, the god
of wine and parties, came to her aid. Bacchus had fallen in love with the
beautiful Ariadne and treated her with great tenderness. He had a crown made
for her with one each of the seven most beautiful jewels to be found mounted
in it. Some stories say that there were seven diamonds. When Ariadne died,
Zeus placed her crown in the sky and changed the jewels to seven stars, which
can still be seen today as the constellation Corona Borealis, Ariadne’s Crown."
