Zeus had always kept a close watch on Will and Elizabeth. When Elizabeth died there was one part of him that was truly saddened. True to his word, the time had come to call his daughter. He summoned her to his presence and she also brought her daughter with her.
"The time has come my daughter, the time that you have waited so patiently for, Elizabeth Turner has died along with her a newborn daughter," Zeus told her expecting a happy reaction.
Aphrodite's reaction surprised Zeus immensely. She hung her head in silence some tears coming to her eyes as she looked at her beautiful daughter.
"What is it child? This is what you wanted," Zeus said to her.
"His heart must be broken father. He loved her so much; he must be completely devastated. I feel so much for him to lose both his love and his child."
Zeus couldn't believe what he was hearing. This couldn't be his selfish, self-centered daughter who always got what she wanted. "You truly love this man. I've never seen you care for someone like this. I now know how your heart honestly feels."
Aphrodite nodded and gently stroked the top of her daughter's head.
"Are you sure you want to do this? You will be immortal but otherwise human. You will be just like Will unable to die or grow old but you will lose all of your special powers. Remember he does not know you my daughter. You will have to win his heart without your magic. Do you still want to do this even though you must leave your human daughter here under my care?"
Aphrodite looked up at Zeus, "my daughter left here?"
"Remember child, she is human she does not share your immortality and she could be hurt or killed. In addition, you need to win Will's heart without presenting him with a long lost daughter."
Aphrodite answered her father, "I do love him father and while it maybe hard to leave my child. It will not be forever. We will be a family soon – I just know it in my heart."
"Very well my child. Once I send you I will not interfere. You will not die but you can experience pain and can be injured. Just remember that."
Aphrodite nodded and leaned down to her five year old daughter, "remember I love you and I will be home soon with your daddy."
