Shadewood for she is now the stranger

@Melaneus @Lycabas @Cullen @Vorilye is baby time

If you had asked Themis what her children would look like, she would have answered “monochrome i guess?”. Her mother had worn the greys Themis herself now sported.

But looking at her children, all four nestled in a neat row at her teat? Yeah she had no fucking idea.

Two she could pinpoint. Asmodeus’s winter whites on the only girl. Vorilye’s creams on the third, the second son. But two wore reds she had never seen before, one dark, shrouded in brushes of dried blood. The other was fire, as if Prometheus himself had stashed his stolen goods in her womb. It was a curious sight, to her at least.

…huh.

She was disgusting, of course, after the birth. But she was actively repressing that whole ordeal, and instead staring at the children. For a long time.

….how the fuck do I name you guys, huh? The girl gave a squeak as if to respond.

You're no help.
