Malachi couldn't explain why looking at the strange blue skinned woman had reminded him of his cousin's warning, but now that he was seeing her he couldn't forget it.
Apparently this was another of Thea's mothers; Tatiana.
A seven foot, blue skinned, golden eyed goddess of the ocean and chaos.
She didn't bear any malicious intent toward Mal, but for some reason his body would not allow him to stop being on edge as if an attack was imminent.
"…You must've found Thea's mother quite pretty."
"H-Huh..?"
Mal felt like he was jolted awake when he heard Celeste's voice come from right beside him.
It was embarrassing, but he had only now realized that they weren't in the same location as before.
Thea was leading Aisha, Aubrey, and himself and Celeste up a flight of stairs.
He hadn't even registered that they had left the presence of Thea's mothers.
'Just how powerful is that woman..?'
