but there's hope for me again
"Persephone?"
The voice interrupted her rambling train of thought with a familiarity that was startling. Where had she heard it before? The memory was a half-buried one, of a happier time long ago. The mare turned to see, but Alecto had moved first, and by the time Persephone had turned to regard her childhood friend, her cheerful kitsune had darted to dance around his feet, tails twirling happily. So astonished was she to have found a familiar face at long last that she didn't even scold the fox-creature's lack of manners.
"Kratos?" she gasped. She softest of chuckles, a quiet twinkling of cheer, fell from her lips as she stepped forward. "It is you, isn't it?" How could this be? She had heard nothing of him for - gods, it had been years now! And of all the places to find him, years later and worlds apart, they had stumbled across one another again in Helovia! Had he tumbled through whatever barrier separated Helovia from the Rift at the same time she had?
"Where - what - how -?" she stumbled, before catching herself and pausing shyly. This was not the behavior of a well-bred lady from Estanzia. Not that it mattered anymore, did it? Not when her new home seemed to be bound to tumble down around her years. "I'm sorry," she started again finally, "It's just - you disappeared, and it's been so long, and - well, I just - how in the world did you end up here?"
