Styx (Goddesses of the Underworld #2)

185. A Deep Fear Grew Like Ivy Around My Heart

A Deep Fear Grew Like Ivy Around My Heart

What did this mean for the Titans?

Zeus had made terrible threats

to the Gods who did not take his side,

but cruellest of all were his threats

of what he would do their daughters

and wives – that we would belong

to the Olympian Gods to do

with us what they willed.

But most importantly of all,

what did this mean for my children?

Especially my child of victory, Nike?

I had demanded that Pallas make her

a Goddess so that she could have

protection that I did not.

But could goddesshood protect her

from the lust of more powerful Gods?
