Chapter 20

• Persephone watched as the clouds gathered in the sky. It was a good night to hunt. It was dark, and the occasional lightning that rends the sky cast ghostly shadows over the whole terrain.
• "What a pretty sight this is." She could already picture it, everyone would be indoors and the unlucky prey who ventured out into the night would become a meal that even the gods would approve of, but she was not in the mood for it. Seth had not returned after their little quarrel that Fatimah had interrupted. The girl had been her nemesis for decades. There was nothing but bad blood shared. "I wish I could get her, just once. Maybe watch her bleed a little before I let her off".
• Persephone sighed. She missed Seth. He was never around these days. It felt just like when he had been in love with Masika in the past. He had loved Masika so much that no one else had existed where she was concerned and it was the same now.
