Snippet #1679728

Adara looked away, her expression revealing nothing about the emotion underneath. She was thinking. Adara wasn't sure to say. She sighed and looked at the ground.
"I understand you not wanting to have loved ones getting hurt, but my father has spent every day since his was forced into becoming god of the underworld to go home. He hates living here and the only way he's going to get to go home is by force. I can't deny my father that when it means his happiness. I will still love you even if you don't fight, but I have to be loyal to my father too," she said in a soft, emotionless tone, still looking at her feet, "Plus your mother has been a spy for my father. She's on our side. She hates that Zeus thinks he's the fucking supreme ruler of the gods. The only reason she said you raped her, and I do know the gory details of your banishment, was to prevent being banished herself." In all reality, Adara wished everyone could just get along. She looked up at Akira, making eye contact with him.
"I'm sorry this is so complicated," she said sadly, "I wish things were different." A few tears rolled down her face, she wiped them away hastily.
