The rest of us watched the activity of the boats getting ready, and as twelve o’clock approached; several of them cast off, and motored out to the m...in harbour. Soon, only a few were left at the docks, no doubt saying their last minute farewells.At twelve, everyone else was back on board, and our boat slowly made our way out to near the starting line. We helped ourselves to some more food, and some more champagne and orange, and returned to the top deck. We could see the race boats hoisting. We had elected to stay in Italy and to make our life there. We did not want to be the stranger in the other's homeland and in this place we were equally unique to the local crowd. When Qia's younger sister came to assist her when our child came home it all seemed so natural. Her sister was a great help and after a few weeks there was a sense of order in the house again, even with the demands of a new born. Her sister Zo did a wonderful job helping but not taking away Qia's place in the house.. Michelle then took Amber by the arm and led her to a quiet corner where they sat for the rest of the evening talking and laughing together. I could feel that Amber was much more comfortable with this woman than with the rest of the group of mainly males at the party. Soon everyone went home except for Michelle. Marcelle, Michelle, Amber and I had coffee together. Michelle invited us to her home the next day and said that we could do something together. We accepted her invitation. When she rose. Feeling her power rise she pointed at the building drawing Zeus to her. There was a great shouting, then a loud thud from inside. A moment later, several pairs of feet could be heard within.A smirk on her face, Hera hadn’t thought it would work. After all, her brother was far stronger than her. Within a minute later, Zeus, Apollo, Hermes, Dionysus and Hephaetus appeared before Hera. Hephaetus of course, had an energy shrouded sword drawn, which he immediately dropped as he bowed to his.
