And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

The moment we appeared in the realm of the gods, I found myself taken aback by the sights in front me. Rolling green hills and high mountains lined the vicinity. The white marble cathedral styled buildings and architecture were breathtaking. The one thing, though, which struck me the most, was how kind Freya was. I had never met her in person, but I had heard stories my mother had told me of the kind of woman she was.

How she was kind and caring. How she was a mother figure to all that were around her. I wasn't looking to get close to anyone, but something about her made me want to trust her. Something about her was familiar.
