To the knocking of her front door, Helga awoke. Still a bit rattled by last night, she hugged her daughters a bit tighter for a few more minutes before finally letting go. Watching them sleep as she moved out of the room, her gaze never left them until her leg felt something furry by her leg.
"Oh, it's you…" The panting face of a dog was staring right back at her. "I almost forgot that you lived with us, Cerberus."
Even the name made her slightly confused. Was it Chimera or Cerebus? She couldn't be sure, and before she could give it a second thought, another knock on the front door brought her back to her senses.
"Who the hell?" Quickly getting closer to the door, Helga pressed her face against the door and looked through the peephole. To her surprise, it was the same man who'd helped her get her daughters to her home in Elenaris last night.
"Raven?" Grabbing the handle, she opened the door. "What are you doing here? I thought you would've been back to Athenia by now."
