Yes She Created Hermes - Tumblr Posts

Son

It’s been a thousand years since her son died.

The world changed, the people changed, and she created no other child. Why should she? Having reached perfection once… why try again? 

But here he was.

Standing before her, just as he’d always been.

This wasn’t the badlands, this wasn’t Mezalea-- but there was its king. He was dressed differently, wearing a short toga with a green sash. Still, there was her son… placing an armor stand in her jungle.

And then he was gone, disappeared off into the distance.

Not to his mesa, she’d checked. She knew the land’s new king--- the younger child of the ocean. But, just like her son, he was different. 

She watched the strange item her son had given her. 

She wrapped herself around it, placing life into its wooden bones, draping it in a cloak of the beautiful magenta of her son’s mesa. 

‘Hermes,’ she whispered in his ear. ‘Son of Stratos, son of Sanctuary.’

“Father?” The protector held the child tight to his chest. Maybe, She decided, she could love her son’s beloved too.

It’s been a thousand years since her son died.

It’s been a moment since her grandson spoke.
