I did not remember much from my human life. One thing, however, did stick with me. My mother had said to never trust a man completely be he a mortal or some other powerful force. I should have listened to her words. The most happiest moments of my life had been the events of the last few months. And they had also been my downfall. My entire family was endanger, and it was all my fault.

I do not know what compelled me to go after this godlike creature. Whatever the reason, even though he betrayed me, I would not go back and change things. Perhaps this was how it was suppose to turn out. Had not it always? Once a good thing happened, something bad comes to ruin it for you. And sometimes, innocent people were brought into it. I was suppose to protect the innocent, right? Then why was it so difficult to decide what to do?

Swallowing the rock in my throat, I walked out of the trees and into the clearing. She was waiting for me there, her hair blowing out behind her. A goddess of war. And there was a likely chance I was not getting out of this alive.
