The day Athena was set to leave Serpentine was filled with emotion. Everything she owned was packed up into crates and sent ahead of her.
All that was left, was to say her goodbyes. King Orion was devastated to see his daughter go. But what choice did he have?
He embraced his daughter as they said their farewells.
"Take care of yourself, Athena. I…" He hesitated for a moment but eventually continued to speak, "I'm sorry I couldn't couldn't protect you."
Athena shook her head, "You have nothing to apologize for, father. Perhaps this was how it was always meant to be."
She'd had a lot of time to think and reflect on all that had happened. Athena knew what she must do. If Krayden truly loved her, he would understand.
If he didn't… she had another plan up her sleeve.
Consort Eliana was there to send her off too. After exchanging a few more words with her father, Athena approached her. The consort curtsied to her as she came up to her.
