Her lost son

Dora watched her sit, her heart skipping beats.

"Kraken took him? When?"

"

Dora sniffed,"I had my grip on him, I swear, before I could do anything else, the kraken had threw me far away from him. I can swear I felt my whole body go numb."

Nyx shook her head still in a daze, half listening to Dora as she spoke.

She turned to stare at the stream, "Archi..she said softly."

Dora was feeling uncomfortable with her reaction, "Nyx, I am sorry, I promise to find him, I know he is not gone yet."

Nyx looked up at her, her eyes filled with tears, "How did you lose him? Why?" She whispered.

"It was my mistake, I should not have let him fill his keg, then the kraken would not have gotten to him."

Nyx closed her eyes, she didn't know if she should cry, or do anything bad to herself. She sat on the ground, still in a daze, the only thing that kept playing in her head was Archi's loss.
