Hera(thoughts): “sigh… here we go… a long winded story.”
During a good 5 minutes.
“While watching the children play, John asked the mom why they would always be near when disaster struck, saying they must have the worst luck.”
Hera(thoughts): “hmm..”
Her face is stoic
John: "He wouldn't understand anyways idiot"
Mother: "I meant in the future you IDIOT, don't call me an idiot, idiot."
Hera(thoughts): “Is John stupid?”
Her face remains stoic.
“The villagers did not take it as a curse, but instead as a trail from the sun god. Thinking of it this way the villagers felt extreme ecstasy,
If they passed the trials would they finally be accepted as people of the light? “
Hera(thoughts): “interesting interpretation… Would the sun god truly care for this place though? Also, accepted as people of the light? Ha, as if. Actually would they?”
What started as held in laughter became real curiosity as she began to genuinely consider the Idea.
Her face remains stoic.
“In the middle of the crowd there would be a fancy carriage laced with red wool on the inside and patterned in gold far too expensive for the village.”
Hera(thoughts): “where the HELL did they get that??”
Her face remains stoic.
“The carriage was found by sheer luck a couple of years ago near the waterfalls at the edge of the continent. The 2 priests that were hired at a costly price took a seat within the carriage”
Hera(thoughts): “BUT STILL!?! WHAT?! Also how did they even afford 2 priests?? Not 1 but 2?? This village is weird… I'll have to report this when I get back.”
Her face remained stoic.
“Mother: “Shhhh Shhhh, not now okay? You'll be okay. Mommy's right here”
Baby: “WAHHH!! WAHHH!!!”
The clouds further darkened and approached at a heightened pace, worrying the villagers
Mother: “Shhhh, don't cry. Didn't I just say mamas here?””
Hera(thoughts): “dont cry…”
Her face remains stoic.

“Everyone(thoughts): “It must be them.”
The gazes of everyone would slowly find the eyes of the woman holding onto the child in her arms.“
Chief: "Then--"
Hera: "Stop stop stop, stop right there”
She said while having her hand on the back of her head as if she's really annoyed.
Chief(thoughts): "SHIT! did I mess up??"
Chief: "Y-yes? whats wrong? did I do something to offen--"
Hera: "I've heard enough to decide that they were who I was looking for is all."
The knight would get up from where she was standing and turn towards the door to leave
Chief(thoughts): "thank god... I thought I messed up. Well, guess I should thank the sun god huh?"
The chief would smile as the knight turned the knob of the door.
Chief: "Safe travels knight"
He said waving goodbye which the knight would stop and look back to.
Hera: "...Thank you, goodbye."
Hera(thoughts): "...I just know that story was about to get sad... that poor mother!!! and that child deserves better!"
Hera let out a heavy sigh.
HERA’S KNIGHT DAYS(In the Sunlit Kingdom) (INFO. Hera is a pretty well known knight)
Hera(thoughts): “I can't wait to eat some noodles~, I'm finally off patrol and I can go!”
Random: “Hello miss?”
Hera(thoughts): “oh my GODDDD! Not another one! I JUST WANT MY NOODLES YOU BRAT… sigh…they should have a law to not disturb knights off work”

Hera(thoughts): “well… fair point. Ughhh but I just got off shift, do I haveee toooo? Alright alright lets get this over with”
After Hera reunites the child to his parents and waves bye, the kid doesn't even look back.
Hera almost popping a vein
Hera(thoughts): “YOU BRAT, well, at least I still have some time left I guess”
She begins her walk to the noodles store.
Every passerby she thinks to herself,
Hera(thoughts): “pleaseee please please dont talk to me, pleaseeee dont”
The sun almost setting she arrives
Hera: “finally!! Time to eat~”
Sorry! Closed early for the day! Come back tomorrow, THANKS!
A tear leaves the women's eyes
Hera: ".....ah... fu--"
