A clingy son

Lythia brought Scarlet to the main palace of the old deity, away from all the prying eyes of other reapers. She had a somewhat worried expression like a mother whose child had been injured.

"She is here." she announced. 

The old deity, Carnelia and another woman quickly approached and hovered over her. 

Lythia put her down carefully in a pool of water that was in the palace. 

The woman that was with the three deities poured something in the water and it started bubbling. 

"Are the children alright?" Carnelia asked. 

"I think you should worry about the mother more than the children." The new woman said. 

Her face and body were covered entirely by the long gold cloak with a hood which she was wearing. 

"It's one and the same." Carnelia mumbled.
