Lachesis; Fate of the Past, an old friend, a power beyond reckoning,
Athena's mother.
To this day Gusion still didn't know quite what he and Lachesis had all those eons ago. She had been his most favored mistress. Unlike the ones that would come after her, she could see into his soul in ways no one else could and he understood her burdens of seeing into the whole of history.
He didn't think he'd ever actually seek her out again, but occasionally they found their way back to one another. This time, it was about a matter of deep personal importance to the both of them.
He almost never came to her in his full Duke's finery. This time he needed to show he was serious. The large feathered cloak drifted under his own weight while he gently placed the grimoire that so rarely left his side onto a table.
"Lachesis, I was hoping we would have a chance to speak. I am afraid this is important."
