What has happened?!’
I was only a child as yet.
I had grown quickly from an infant
as all immortal children did,
but I was still too young
to understand what was happening.
My mother did not answer me.
I did notice something
that made my heart pound.
No matter how hard I tried,
I could not hear the din.
The noise of the war…was gone.
My mother ran towards me
and knelt before me.
‘Hekate, you must be brave.
We need to leave.
There are wolves at our door.’
Chased by Wolves
Run
My mother wrapped me
up against her body.
Run
A loud roar and a thud
at our doors.
Run
Barefoot, my mother
rushed to the window.
Run
Just as we heard the doors
thunderously crash down.
