"My mom is one of them. Well--they aren't traitors anymore, there's the kings and my mom and Hestia--and Hera is queen. But everyone still calls them that. They ousted the Titans who ruled before them, Kronos is the father of the three kings and they overthrew him."
Persephone opens up the folded frame set. The left picture is her and her mother, her half asleep in her mother's arms, walking back from the fields. In the middle is her sleeping with Melia and Delphine, her nymph friends. The rightmost picture is the one she shows to him first, Hestia, Hera and Demeter in the front, the three kings behind them, posed in clothing better suited to the seventies than modern times.
"So I grew up knowing Hera and Hestia fairly well. They and my mom are like sisters, they fought in the war together, so we would visit Hestia sometimes and I remember going to Hera's party a few times. Hera married Zeus and now she's Queen of the Gods, goddess of marriage and a million other things." She waves it off, then hesitates, "Feel free to stop me if this is boring. Old family stories can be kind of tedious, I'm fully aware."
