Calliope had known that returning to Earth was a bad idea, but she hadn't said anything. Her sisters seemed so excited to go and she simply didn't have the heart to refuse them. She had accompanied them, to try and keep them out of trouble...keep them safe. Yes they were all the same age but she had always been the most rational, the most protective. Things...hadn't gone well, just as she thought. Errata hadn't been herself since they all retired. And Calliope, she blamed herself for that...she should have done something...should have trusted her instincts.
But she hadn't, and sadly there was nothing that she could do about that now. A sigh escaped the woman's lips from her seat upon the ground. She found herself in the garden, among the roses, her favorite of course. This was her favorite place to be when her head was clouded, it was calming.. And she certainly needed to clear her head now. She had to do something...she needed to help her sisters, not only Erota...but the others as well because obviously their sisters sudden change would deeply effect them all.
Not long before coming here, she had instructed her sisters to meet her here. She told them to meet her and by now they'd be showing up at any moment. She had tried to give herself some time to figure everything out but sadly she was no closer than when she had started. Calliope is a muse...a goddess whose duty is to inspire others. It was rather ironic that she couldn't find inspiration for herself. She sighed once more allowing her eyes to close. There was pressure there, far more than she liked...but she just wanted everything to be okay again.
Her eyes opened once more, glancing around and when she saw that she was still alone her focus turned to the flowers that were all around her. She lifted her hand, gently stroking the petals of the flower nearest to her. She wanted to hold one and yet she didn't quite have the heart to pluck the rose from its stem. They were beautiful..roses, also the flower used to symbolize love... That was coming up...yes, not even a month away. Valentines day...Erota adored that day very much..and with her brainy so hurt..,Calliope knew that they needed to do something...
