-t'chi-

-schhwaff-

-knock-

...

-t'chi-

-schhwaff-

-knock-

Those were the sound that flooded the Fields of Mars that early morning. It was 5 am and the sounds had been there for almost an hour. It was like a new rhythm there, first -t'chi-, then -schhwaff-, and last -knock-. But it wasn't some kind of new musical rhythm, it was the rhythm of a person shooting arrows, it wasn't that difficult to know about it when you had lived in a military camp almost all of your life. And also for someone that had lived, fought, and bleed in a place like that, doing that for an hour, wasn’t exactly difficult, just demanding.

The person doing it was Lilith McKinnon, Legcy of Mors and Apollo. Her face was covered in soft pears of sweat, some of them already rolling down her temples to her jawline and then rolling down her neck. She wasn’t wearing her armor, just her bow and arrows on her back. The last arrow hit right next to the one before it. She breathed deeply and the took another arrow to settle it against the cord of her bow and then tightened it to shoot the arrow against the target once more.

-t'chi-

-schhwaff-

-knock-

She lowered the bow and tilted her head, then looked down and grabbed her bottle of water, it was a limited edition of the show like survivor that the gods had. It didn’t have the faces of the people in it, but only the landscape of the last place where they were taken. After drinking a couple of sips, she put it down again and went to retriever all of the arrows that she shot before. Then she walked back to where she had left her stuff and sat on the ground as she sighed.

She was really tired, her body ached and she was kind of dizzy due to the effort, but she felt much better. She had been under a lot of stress lately, hiding her illness to everyone but those who already knew it. Ethan, Tessa, Kyle, Apollo, Mors, Gunnar… ok, a lot knew it, but she didn’t want any other to know about it.

The good thing about being a goddess was that you didn’t actually need to sleep. Well, that was half true. In the springtime, she didn’t need to, but winter she needed a bit more rest because she didn’t have that constant energy coming from her element. Then you had ones whose elements of power were always there, and they were good. Thankfully, she was rather used to winter now because she spent it with her husband. He was another who probably didn’t need to sleep, but when they could curl up together under the blankets, it was rather nice. Ah, she missed him.

But that was aside the point. She had to get out and mingle to get him out of her thoughts for now. He was busy. A shooting had just happened in school in the south, so he had his hands full with the lost. She wished she could be there for him, but she would show her support as soon as she possibly could.

Until then, she walked around Camp Jupiter and frowned slightly when she heard something. She headed for where it was coming from and saw… a young girl with hair the color of the moon. She actually kind of looked like Luna had, or at least from the stories. Luna had faded long before Proserpina was born. She watched the girl fire her last arrow then go sit down. She looked exhausted. So Proserpina walked quietly over to her. “Excuse me? Are you alright?” she asked tentatively. She didn’t want to startle her.

Lilith tried to catch up her breath, she looked up to the sky and smiled at the stars. Looking at them and the whole dark dome, she remembered that one of her grandfathers would be in that moment almost arriving to California, maybe she could see him in his chariot or maybe not. She also thought on her other grandfather, Mors, for sure he was in his office dealing with all the paperwork that represented the daily deaths around the world. She hoped that he could rest a bit, that he could enjoy life a bit more. Maybe she could take some pineapple salad this temple later, he would like it… right?

She was thinking about that when she heard the voice of a young woman. She got surprised by it, but she wasn’t scared of her, for some reason the voice was sweet and didn’t represent any threat. At least that was what Lilith felt when she looked at the young woman. She looked young, yet Lilith wouldn’t have been able to determine the age of the woman, her voice was sweet, but also had strength in it. Lilith thought that she had seen that woman in other place, but she couldn’t put her finger on the info in her head.

“uh?” she asked for just a second, then she realized the picture that she would be for others, pale, dark lines under her eyes, panting and with tiredness all over her face. She smiled and nodded. “Yes, thank you. I only need… to catch my breath again.” She smiled at the woman. “I’m Lilith McKinnon” said introducing herself as good manners demanded.

Proserpina smiled softly. The girl was pretty, that was for sure. Petite and her features were soft. She had a nice smile too, when she brought it out. Proserpina nodded slightly at her answer. “That I can understand. What are you doing out so early? With the chill still in the air from night. Aren’t you afraid of catching a cold?” She bowed her head slightly. “Pleasure to meet you, Lilith McKinnon. I’m Samantha Burgess. Do you mind if I join you? I understand if you prefer not. You must have come out here by yourself for some reason. Just thought I’d offer.”

She pulled her trim denim jacket closer around her shoulders and regarded the young woman again. She didn’t look terribly old. Then again, Proserpina was horrible at guessing ages. Seeing as most of the ones she stayed with were immortal and could appear any age they wanted. That and their real ages were slightly on the crazy side. Sometimes she would curiously ponder what the world was like when her dear Pluto was young. That was, after being regurgitated. A world ruled by brutes called Titans. She still feared them, and she’d never even met but a couple of the more docile ones. The stories were enough though. Her darling Pluto, though, he’d risen up against them. And won. He knew them in a way not many else did. She didn’t dare ask about it though. That would be far too personal, she’d guess. Maybe someday she would. It had been many centuries without the topic being breached yet though, so no telling.
