The sound of a soft lullaby woke her from her somewhat troubled sleep.She had been having unsettling dreams, she wouldn't admit they were nightmares. Just a certain feeling of uncertainty, like she was being warned about something from the past. Or something that was coming in the future.The nearest future, probably.She still dreaded the just-ended war. It was gruesome. Deciding not to start her day with that thought, she jumped out of bed to get ready for her daily meditation. It was the fuel that kept her day smooth and running. That made her feel light and happy.The only thing that was still keeping her in one piece.She brushed her teeth, made a smoothie, and put her hair in a bun. “Alexa play meditation playlist,” she said, laying her mat down.“Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale.Find balance. Now, breathe.Let it out, the negativity, the bad thoughts, the stress.Release everything.”She exhaled as the medication voice ended.Now it was going to be a good

“Hera, Hera, Hera, Hera, Hera,....” Ares heard her more clearly as he moved closer to her. Panic is written all over his face. Was his worst fear coming true?Was her brain only picking up bits of the war?Why didn't she remember their love before the war?Was it not strong enough?Why was her brain choosing to punish him?“Hey hey, I'm here. What's going on? What did you see?” He asked concerned as he drew her to his chest, trying to calm her down.Tears started streaming down her face as she started sobbing.“Did you know her?” She raised her head as she asked, her eyes sore from sobbing.Afraid of what to answer, he rested her head back on his chest and rocked her, hopefully, to sleep while he contemplated on how to answer her.“Why do I remember the death of someone I didn't know?” She asked him again, this time she didn't look up.He was fighting off his tears too. He was afraid she'd feel it.“Don't worry, we'll make sense of it. You need to rest now.” He assured them while tryi

“You both are being childish right now,” Ivan said, letting his gaze dart from one to another.“She is being mean,” Hermes defended himself. “You were asking obvious questions, and I gave the appropriate answers,” Artemis said, not looking at him.“Enough,” Ivan said, spreading his palms on the table for extra effect.They both kept mute, each glaring at each other, Ivan knew for sure something was wrong with the two, but he was not ready to interfere.“I found Hades, and that’s the perfect lead that we need,” Ivan said to change the subject to more important issues.“Yeah, I’ll ask the guys to track his every move,” hermit said, immediately switching moods.“Yeah right” Artemis snorted They both went back and forth with each other again, Ivan looked between the two and knew he would rather be nowhere in the world but there.

It could be, after all, she wasn't blind before and here she was.The scent of her coconut soap hit her nose. It comforted her, it brought back memories that were strange to her. Memories that felt familiar but nostalgic, leading her back to the dream she had. That scent was connected to whatever she saw in her dream.

And why was she so concerned about her death? She was just trying to grasp the
