Ceestia looked down at the ground, ashamed. Though, not shamed of her father, but that she lied to everyone. But, she didn't have a choice, did she? If Solas's life was at stake, wouldn't he lie about his parents as well? She felt bad that Crescent thought they were actually brother and sister. He had always been naive, but hadn't he seen her with the lightning? He probably just didn't put two and two together, typical of him. She shook her head at him, then answered to Solas's comment about her father being the godly parent. Yep. Celestia replied matter of factly, as if she had practiced this moment a thousand times, making sure she wouldn't sound frightened, or shocked, or anything besides calm. Truth was, she has practiced this moment, at least every day. Zeus. She said with much disgust in her voice, looking up at the sky, as if challenging him. She always hated him. After all, he tried to kill her when she was but a newborn. if it wasn't for Hermes, she would be dead. And despite what you may think, I had good reason to lie. But that is all I hide. Celestia then remember, there was more. Why she lied, why she was chosen for this quest, that she knew about it before anyone else. Well, I also knew about this quest before Chiron, my.......father.... Celestia winced at the word. brought me to his thrown to tell me about it, and most of all, apologize. Celestia was proud of that part, since Zeus probably apologized more often then Aphrodite forgot to brush her hair in the morning.

She was taken by surprise at Crescent's happy reaction to her secret, perhaps it wasn't such a bad thing after all. She was about to explain why she kept it a secret, when, something happened. Celestia furrowed her brow and stepped back when her friend caught fire. She didn't know what to do exactly, never really happened before. When he extinguished the flames, What was that?!? Are you alright?!?! she exclaimed, getting nervous that her friend just caught fire and he might have been burned, but when his skin was normal, she calmed a little. The life of a demi god, though not normal, normally didn't have people burst into flames unexpectently, unless that person was a child of the god of forge. She then looked at him sternly at his comment about her powers. Maybe so, but have you forgotten that it sucked away the energy from me as well? I'm not sure if that was from lack of practice, or if it was simply to powerful for me to handle. And no real way of knowing for sure. She then remembered her silver arrow on her back, and took the arrows Crescent had given to her and handed them back to him. I really don't need this, my bow....is kind of special.

Celestia smiled reassuringly. She knew that wouldn't happen with her bow. Thousands of times had she used her bow with Artemis, and it neve even caused a sweat. Perhaps just making a lightning attack that large was the source of her fainting, though she still was uncertain. She unslung her bow from her shoulder and held her stomach with the other hand. I am hungry, we did leave close to lunch time. She looked at her bow, stroking the silver rims engraved with leaping deer. It had been a long time since she was able to use it, and excitement overwhelmed her. Lets. Though I don't think we will be needing a fire to cook our meals. She looked across the tree tops, wondering what it was that hungered her. Deer was to smokey for lunch, and besides, to much meat for three people. Birds weren't really an option if they were flying, mortals could see. Celestia decided on Squirrels, they did taste delicious, though she hated killing them. Ever since she could speak with animals, she found it harder to kill them, even for something so important like food. They did have souls of their own. And my bow won't weaken me, I've used it plenty of times in the past to know that for certain. She reassured her half brother, or was he considered her nephew now?
