Confrontation
Hera gazed out of her window one-hand gently caressing her stomach, at six months the child was growing and kicking hard within. Mortica hadn't caused any major trouble a part from the usual demon stuff wrecking homes transfiguring people and other minor incidents.
"I have to talk to her maybe we can work something out, get Mortica to come back to the light side of magic, the way she was before she met her father and was changed."
Zeus saw Hera standing there the sunlight reflecting of her hair making it shimmer like gold. Putting his arms around her he said.
"Be careful today, I don't like the idea but I trust your judgement on this. If you fell that things are getting out of hand then call be and I will be there, not matter what I will not let this witch hurt you".
"We will be my love nothings going to happen I just want to see if we can end this like adults."
Hera left appearing in a deserted rock outcrop in the Agene Sea, where Mortica was waiting.
"So Hera here I am you said you wanted to talk so say what you want?"
"I don't want to fight you I never did but I had not choice you know that as a Goddess it was my responsibility. This childish feud has to end cant we agree to a truce to be polite and civil to each other and try to get along".
"You would think we could end this like adults bit I want power you have it and I will use black magic to get it. But I'm not half as bad as other demons your lot deal with. Many call me to Goddess of Black magic, forget it Hera we will never be friends so go home". The she threw a fire bold at Hera cutting her along her arm.
She disappeared in a flash of blue light leaving Hera standing here alone the waves crashing against the rocks soaking her through.
"Well little one things could have been better your a target in three months she attack me not you so not to bad. I thought we could get through to her make her back the way she used to be. Well its late the stars are out better get home going out with your brother tomorrow".
Hera arrived home to find Zeus waiting for upon see her he immediately ran over.
"She attacked you she did this, I knew I should have came".
"Yes but you would have made things worse she attacked me not the baby, you would have made things worse being there. This is between us the fact that the baby is involved is bad enough".
"Your not to go near her again I cant risk you both getting hurt, you better get these seen to".
Gently Zeus cleaned and healed the cuts and picked her up and carried her to their bed.
