By The Pricking Of Our Thumbs....
"He's pretty. I never noticed that before."
Alecto arched a brow and continued washing the blood off her hands. Behind her, Tisiphone was oiling her whip, looking just as amused.
Gara pouted at them both as she filed her claws sharper. "Well, he is."
"Are you going to visit him , sister ?"
Gara couldn't tell if it was Tis or 'Lec who spoke. Though it didn't matter. " No, he's Dei's brother. That would just be weird." She leaned forward, peering into the slowly pinking and reddening pool that randomly threw up images of the other gods. Gara stirred it idly with a finger. "Cloey's with him anyway."
Alecto scrubbed the last bit of entrails from under her nails and shrugged her shoulders, ruffling her wings. "Can Clotho offer him somewhere to let loose ?"
Gara stayed slumped beside the pool, curled around its edge like a serpent in the sun. "No. But Cloey has history with him. She knows him." Her finger stirred the pool again, the water turning dark red and sticking to her fingers like goo. She played with it, twirling the strands. "Cloey and Phobos. Phobos and Styx. Styx and Moros."
"Like an infection." Tisphone replied.
"Love's Dominoes" Alecto interjected almost simultaneously.
Gara's eyes were vague. She was thinking, perhaps. But all that changed when she pulled her sisters into Three in One at the sight that flickered on the now slick surface of the pool.
Ares. Madness. Power. Confusion.
Gara and Tis turned to Alecto, expectant questions in their poses. She shook her head, however. That way led to madness for all four of them. Distance from the new King of the Gods suited them well.
But...
As one the Three turned their mouths to the sky and called. "Strife."
