“Mother, you are looking beautiful as usual”
“Where are your daughters?” Mother Nature turned her icy glare toward her disobedient subject “It was my wish that they come”
“They have their duties—” Fate began before being rudely cut off
“Cut the crap, Fate We all have i them because you want them kept at home under your thumb” Fate stiffened at her friend’s censure
“That’s not true They leave the safety of our home frequently, but—”
“Be quiet! We both know that you did not bring them because you try to hide them away from the other immortals Their beauty is well known You try to hide them for no reason You of all should know this”
“They are still young, needing guidance—” Fate again was interrupted
Mother’s eyes narrowed “Your daughters are centuries old Beware Fate, the arrogance which you and your sister are so quick to judge others of could be your downfall”
“Are you warning id at Mother’s harsh words
Mother Nature sighed “Fate, you and Destiny are headed for a rude awakening if you do not change your ways I have spoiled you both, so I must also take responsibility for the way you behave But I a, I won’t tolerate your disobedience lare
“What have I done? I have no children to bring” Destiny sht their friend’s displeasure down upon their heads
“And that is another bone of contention with me, Destiny Your failure to provide me with additional children You know the world desperately needs your daughters, yet you have failed to do so May I ask just what you are waiting for?”
“I aed
“Do you knoho the father will be?” Mother Nature questioned
“I do not,” Destiny replied “You knoe can not see our own future”
“Yes, but I a to believe you have a suspicion of who he is”
Destiny shrugged again, not quiteMother’s eyes “He is immortal, I am an immortal There is plenty of time”
Mother Nature grew rigid in fury “You dare to be glib with one too far
“I apologize, Mother I didn’t lib”
“Daughter, do not apologize to me unless you mean it Be very careful, Destiny, there is one ants you bad enough to not fear you or your sister’s powers”
Fear glinted briefly in Destiny’s eyes before she quickly hid it behind her usual sarcasm
“I can’t believe anyone is that stupid”
“Neither can I,” a snide voice said
Destiny turned toward Rocque “This is a private conversation; , Spot”
Ice dripped from Rocque’s voice “What did you call me?”
“I’m sorry; did Ia dog for the next decade?” This was in itself no punishment for an immortal like Rocque The council could have forced hi object; instead they allowed him to keep the form of a wolf, which he usually ran around in anyway
“Wolf; not a dog, a wolf” Rocque becarier at Destiny’s sarcastic smile
“Ah,hi the reaction her final retort produced “Perhaps the bitches you enjoy rutting on will keep you fro in matters that are not your concern”
“All matters of the Forest are my concern” Rocque’s hands clenched into fists
Destiny turned back to face the angry Lord “I thought that was the council’s job, not yours”
“I merely intervened”
“You interfered,” Destiny corrected him
Rocque shrugged his broad shoulders “It won’t be the last time”
“Want to bet?” Destiny raised her hands, deterhter stopped their motion
“You’re powerless here, remember?” Destiny fumed at his sarcastic words
“Be careful, Rocque, that you don’t ry I could always have you mate with one of your bitches at an opportune time to ensure fertility I think a father of sextuplets would cra out when Rocque’s face paled at her threat “Better yet, perhaps I’ll introduce you to Morgana La Faye I think you would htful couple”
Destiny was speechless when Rocqueout introductions, why not introduce me to your three nieces? I could be persuaded to take one to wife” Seeing Destiny beginning to shake in fury, Rocque’s satisfaction at riling her beca, happy family That would make you my aunt”
Destiny’s teant smirk off his face, however, before she could ht her in mid-air “Calm yourself, Destiny”
Destiny pointed her finger at Rocque “You will never have one of uarantee”
Rocque was cut short when he began to make another reply “Be quiet, Rocque!” Odin bellowed over Destiny’s shrieks of anger
“Let her go”
Odin turned with Destiny still in his arms at Fate’s order “Control your sister” Odin released Destiny from his hold
Fate snapped at the God “Destiny will stop when Lord Doggie quits aggravating her,
and she is quite right, he will never have one ofRocque tense at Fate’s words, and about to start an argument with her, Odin coldly took control
“Fate, you and your sister cannot continue trying to intimidate others with your powers”
“I don’t knohy not” Fate gave a delicate shrug “Destiny gives theives them a choice I merely step in when it’s made”
“And you of course have never made a mistake?” Odin questioned
“Oh, I have made several” Her eyes slid toward Valentine then returned to Odin’s “Soust of him plain on her face
Odin’s ed features “You dare talk to me with such disrespect?”
“Yes, I dare! I have every right to be furious with you You trickedyou were Valentine!” Fate yelled at the God, not caring that everyone in the roo
“Fate, you kneithin minutes it was me You simply chose to pretend it was him”
“I did not, though I should have He is much better in bed”
At her snide remark, Odin took a step toward her, determined to throttle her
“I’ll show you who’s better—”
Fate took a step forward, not afraid of the pissed off God “You will never touch ain Dare and I will pay Merlin to turn your dick into a dried up fig, you old…”
All the eyes in the roolare “I would never” He squeaked at the thought of Odin’s fury turned toward hiician’s lined face
“Enough!” screa sideways on her head at the sa in the chair at her side, oblivious to the arguhted her golden crohile also giving the sisters a repri stare
“I see why you two don’t have husbands Who could put up with you hellions for an eternity?” Both woreement
