~Clotho~

Clo walked behind the strange newcomers, having came across them on her little island by complete accident. She knew they'd arrive soon, having checked the timeline various times since her sisters had disappeared, figuring whatever trouble her sisters caused outside of this blessed prison could not possibly go over very well for mankind.

Being completely invisible to the trio, simply wanting to be unseen at that moment, she could discern much from their conversation and body language. The gentleman was the most comfortable of the three, but the ladies seemed much too overdressed for the beach during their season of summer.

She listened as the taller brunette was griping about why a trio of goddesses would even be here. Clo couldn't help but chuckle. It wasn't by choice, she would have assured them. If she wanted to reveal herself. Which, she didn't.

The man simply suggested they had to live somewhere, stating this area was certainly far enough from humanity to keep them hidden from everyday mortals.

Clo focused on the shorter brunette, who seemed the least comfortable of the three. She was hiking up her skirts one moment, wiping her brow the next. Clo did feel bad for them, but the curiosity of their sudden arrival, and their motives regarding her, took precedence over her willingness to help them.

"All I know is what Athena told me, and that was this compass would bring us to Clotho."

Clo hadn't been expecting that.

"Athena sent you?"

-x-x-x-

Belle nearly jumped out of her skin. The voice came from behind them.

When they spun around, they saw a small doe-eyed blond carrying a basket in her arms. She was simply dressed, hair tossed carelessly into a bun, and the basket contained what appeared to be fruits and vegetables. She looked entirely... domestic.

"Sorry. I've been following you." She admitted with a shy smile, noticing their stunned faces. "I was wondering when you'd show." She continued. "I knew you were, but I wasn't expecting you quite this soon."

Belle was surprised at her accent, which was similar to Captain Hook's.

"Clotho?" Belle asked tentatively.

"Mmm." She nodded. "Better known as Clo, here anyways." She began moving past the trio.

Graham shook his head in confusion. "Wait, what do you mean, following us?"

She chuckled lightly. "Didn't see me, mighty hunter?" She glanced back with a wink. "I didn't want to be seen." She turned back to watch where she was going. "Were you warned of this place?" She asked.

"Warned?" Red asked, looking aggressively terrified.

"Oh, Light." The Goddess shook her head. "I'm terribly sorry to inform you, then-"

"Inform us of what?" Belle asked quietly.

The Goddess stopped, turning to face them as she raised her brow and looked at each in turn.

"This is a cursed place." She said simply. "By Zeus himself. No one can leave."
