She sat there balled up staring at the water but seeing centuries long forgotten.
It's funny... I used to be able to hear them... Sense their presence... My family... Now... They are long gone... Perhaps merely sealed away on Olympus.
Finally her eyes tire away from where she saw and back to them. Ethan and Danny... Her very heart and soul in living form.
He asked me to join them on Olympus once... Long ago. I think they had all asked me at one time or another...
She smiled and went back to looking at the water the lake that bordered her land.
Let me the you a story Danny. One that might be hard for you to fathom but no less real than you holding my hand right now.
She sighed staring at her coffee for a moment strangely scared of what she was about to tell him scaring him away. She had to have faith that it would not.
When I told you that I am far older than I technically look is both true and misleading. My first birth was in ancient Greece since then every time I die I return. Always an orphan after my first life. I never stay vone long and I have learned over the centuries how to have things set up for when I return. I have owned this house since the early 1900s. I have spent 6 or 7 lifetimes calling this place home. Ethan and I knew eachother in a previous lifetime. I died young in that lifetime. I went by Ravenna back then too. This time around that name seemed natural. I didn't know why or remember using it before it he showed up at my door. I do not know how to explain why you both are so comfortable and natural to me. I have fought hard to distance and disconnect myself from humanity for as long as I can.
She fell silent lost in his eyes curious if he had any questions.
