Chapter 88 - Bianca (1/2)

Back at the temple, Thena muttered to herself- ”That mother seemed to have overheard everything and is going after them, I should probably send someone to stop her.” she thought out loud.

She received a small fright though when Athena answered through the statue behind her- ”That's not necessary, maybe my daughter can help that poor woman.”

Thena collecting herself answered in her usual monotone voice- ”As you will.” Staying quiet for some time afterward until she was sure Athena was gone.

After Theoric and the girls reached the villa they were staying at he stopped just past the gate entrance into the courtyard.- ”You girls go on ahead.”

Anna- ”What is it?” she asked being the only one curious enough.

Theoric- ”It's no big deal, just someone from the temple that's been following us, I'll take care of it.”

Anna- ”If it's from the temple then I should stay and see what's going on, this most likely concerns me.”

Theoric shrugged- ”Suit yourself.”

The suspect stopped just outside the gate not expecting them to just stand inside waiting.

Theoric called out- ”Is there something we can do for you?” he asked not wishing to cause unnecessary trouble against the temple and possibly Athena.

She looked like she hasn't been taking care of herself for a while now, but somehow still managed to maintain a shapely body under all that filth.

She angrily pointed at Anna, asking- ”Are you the daughter of Athena? Don't try and deny it, I overheard everything when you spoke to that mouthpiece at the temple.”

Io stepped in front of Anna to help protect her from the verbal assault, and if she decided to attack, knowing Anna would likely not fight back against such a sad-looking woman.

Anna surprised by the outburst could only honestly answer- ”Yes, I am the daughter of Athena.”

Suddenly the woman after hearing this collapsed on her knees with tears- ”Please, I beg you to save my daughter, I will do anything for you, Please.”

They were stunned by the 180 in attitude, Sigyn the softest of them all couldn't take it anymore as she walked past Theoric, bending down next to the woman, giving her a hug while soothing the woman with healing aura as she rubbed her back.- ”There, there, everything is okay.”
