Aspictis, chosen because his ...other was Aphrodite herself, was set to guard his mother's temple and her oracle within until she could give the prophecy.

He slowed his pace as he. She stopped him and said something to him and they both got up to leave. i went to the van and watched as they pulled out. He drove her back to our neighborhood and parked 3 doors down under a big tree. I parked around the corner and walked to the house and opened the back door.
