*~*Talia's POV*~*
"Oh Talia!" Mom hugged me tightly the night before I was due to attend my last college class. Unless I decided to take more in the future, that is. However, I'm pretty sure I will be too busy for that. With running the Underworld and all that, I'm pretty sure I'd be way too busy to go back to school.
Then again, I could do whatever I wanted, since I would be a Goddess and all that. Wouldn't it be up to me? The new order of the Underworld was up to me, and no one would be able to tell me otherwise. At least, that's how I'm interpreting it all.
"Mom, it's just college." I shook my head and laughed at her. "Why is it such a big deal?"
"You're only seventeen, Talia. That's the big deal." Dad sounded broken-hearted as he said this. The lighthearted nature was gone from his tone as he looked at me. The fact that he was holding my baby sister, Reeselynn, on his hip didn't do much to improve his attitude any at all.
