Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Chapter 93

I watch from the doorway as Cora sweetly whispers a Greek lullaby to Kas before she leaves. She kisses her forehead and brushes her sister’s cheek before she finally leaves the room.

 

“I will stay for now. I can say goodbye when she wakes up. Then I will make peace with my fate. I must help my Agrios. If their wolves come here, please have kindness,” Cora requests in a soft tone as she watches Kas from the doorway.

 

I hold my hand out to her, palm up, so she can place hers in mine, extending the courtesy of the more primal interaction to make her comfortable. When the sensation of her ambient energy courses through me, I feel Saint howling with happiness. As much as he tries to play it off, it's clear that she is special to him, too.

 

“Thank you for helping me understand, Cora. I have another question,” I look her in the eye. She simply nods with approval to ask, “My guard Marco told me you said you had to be named Persephone. Why is that?”

 

“Because of the Waiting Room,” she looks to the ground. For a moment, I think she is going to pull her hand away, but she keeps it on top of mine, “ The Waiting Room was a gift from Mespyrian. Goddess of, ahhh... vasanistirio?”

 

I pull out my phone and finda translator site. hold the phone between us, “Can you say it again?”

 

She repeats herself tentatively, leaning her face toward the phone, like she’s not sure how it works. I realize when she backs away, she probably doesn’t know how it works. I look at the translation on the screen and my eyes go wide.

 

“The Goddess of Torture?” I feel my voice crack.

 

“Yes. Goddess Persephone’s daughter. Gift to our Mother in return for honor to her Mother,” Cora explains.

 

“So your name was different before Goddess Mespyrian created the Waiting Room?” I ask cautiously. I can’t imagine having your name taken away from you because someone wants to honor their mother.
