Circe​</div>Circe skipped along the walkways of Olympus, her feet subconsciously bringing her ever closer to the central plaza where the Big Twelve usually met. These little visits with her mother, Hecate, were what helped Circe stave off some of the insanity that plagued the handful of immortals that lived primarily by themselves. Not that she wanted to live in Olympus either. Circe enjoyed her freedom too much to let it be stifled by her cousins, and she loathed the drama that seemed ever present between them.<br/><br/>Sometimes, though, Circe wished Hecate would come stay with her on Aeaea instead. The enchantress knew, however, that her mother might not handle the experience as well if her personality shifted to one of the other facets of her divinity. She would forever be Circe's mother in the enchantress' mind, but at times the younger girl would have to take on the role of younger sister or student based on Hecate's other sides, pushing aside all daughterly connection to keep the elder witch in her life without ruining their relationship.<br/><br/>It was a troublesome task at times, but one she regarded with the utmost importance, for not many immortals had good relationships with their parents, and even fewer could so easily call upon their life-givers in their times of need.<br/><br/>Hecate made Circe happy, and that was all the enchantress needed really.<br/><br/>When Circe reached the main pavilion though, and was met by the scattering of gods and goddesses, the golden ichor flowing freely from her cousins known for their bonds with wartimes, the thundering voice of Zeus ordering everyone to take human form... The young woman panicked.<br/><br/>Then there was a flash, a veil of white light that blotted out her other senses too. And then there was vision again, and an unfamiliar landscape, and Circe's emotions.<br/><br/><div style="text-align: center"><b>------------</b>​</div><br/>Her eyes shot across the crowd immediately, locating Hecate as if driven by sheer instinct alone, and in that moment Circe regained her calm as she rushed to the older woman's side. Her mother was different now, having taken her mortal disguise as Circe had upon Zeus' orders, as well as seemingly reflecting a different side than her motherly state.<br/><br/>"Addi, are you okay?" Circe, now going by the name Kinley, asked. The younger woman looked over her "sister" quickly, then pulled her into a tight, loving hug. Hecate was safe, and that was all that really mattered to Circe.<br/><br/>When Kinley let go of Adelaide, it was with a tinge of sadness, but there was certainly work to do, and Adelaide announced her plan shortly after.<br/><br/>The other gods and goddesses gathered in the area seemed to riot for a while at the idea of losing their powers, but even someone as far removed as Kinley could understand; if whatever beast had waged carnage on Olympus was capable of doing exactly that, what was stopping it from tracking them back to the mortal realm?<br/><br/>Kinley was about to speak up when another god, Dionysus she believed, mused some agreement with Adelaide's idea. "I second the thought. Addi wouldn't suggest something that put us at such strong risk of danger if there was any other way to stay safe." Kinley added after Dionysus finished talking. For a moment, Kinley worried that she had spoken out of turn, that with her being so low on the rungs of divinity that she shouldn't have spoken at all... But whether it was her words or Dionysus', the crowd of gods slowly began murmuring their agreement to the plan.<br/><br/>As Adelaide cast her magicks, Kinley felt the calming warmth of her divine powers escaping from her body, taken to who knew where to hide away. She felt truly mortal now, an existence she had once desired in the past, but now she realized the true vulnerability of their current state.<br/><br/>And then there was panic again.<br/><br/>The former gods began to scatter, seeking shelter from a group of human-like monsters that seemed to be so diseased that they were almost beyond recognition now. Kinley grabbed Adelaide's hand tightly, not caring how much pressure she put into her grip, and began pulling the older girl along as she broke into a jog.<br/><br/>Kinley didn't want to die, but even more importantly, she didn't want to lose Adelaide.<br/><br/>The younger woman didn't let go of her sister until they reached an abandoned hotel and were ushered inside by Dionysus and a few other gods that seemed to still have their wits about them. Kinley wanted to rest the moment they were inside, but her first priority was still focused entirely on Adelaide. If the older woman thought it best to help somehow, Kinley would gladly volunteer herself as an assistant.<br/><br/><div style="text-align: center"><b>LOCATION: VALENCIA | INTERACTIONS: <a class="username" data-user-id="6055" data-username="DRAGONGODDESS" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/6055/">DRAGONGODDESS</a> (Hecate)</b>​</div>
