The power granted by the gods never truly belongs to mortals; whenever He desires, it can be reclaimed.
"..." Stella gazed at her sister, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

Hate the sister who took everything from her? Or hate the god who beguiled her? Or hate the fate that tormented her?
She merely stared listlessly as her sister took one step after another towards her, gently raising a hand to cradle her cheek.
"Stella, I know you hate me, you think I've taken everything from you, and that one day we will inevitably kill one another."
"I don't want to see that kind of ending."
Svanni's gentle voice whispered secrets she had never shared with anyone else: "In this world, only you are my kin."
The singularity, the most solitary existence within a clan.
