As empathetic as she was, she also could be a bit selfish at times and she would much rather not have to figure out just how to tell this little kid that his kid sister had been brutally murdered by her enchanted gifts, while everyone looked on as if nothing was really happening. Andy's question though presented Leda with a question - did she tell them the truth? Or did she come up with a version of events that would be a little less painful for them? [color=a187be]"Wait, Arthur, don't!"[/color] Leda pleaded, her eyes widening as she realized what Arthur was about to do. The resurrection of the dead was never an easy task and she was certain it would only do more harm than good. The monstrous visage of Ash, holding her own head in her hands, thankfully didn't last long before Arthur returned her to the grave - but her body was still there, caked in dirt. Did she really care about this kid? Not more than she cared about any stranger, but Leda knelt down next to him and gently pulled Arthur away from Ash, wrapping him into a hug. [color=a187be]"She's with your father now,"[/color] she told him softly. She let go of Arthur with one arm and motioned for Andy to come join in on that hug as well. [color=a187be]"Hades' Palace is beautiful - your father resides there, as does your step-mother, Persephone. Ash can run and play through those halls just like any little girl - she can dance and sing and feel her father's embrace and a mother's love... I know that it hurts that she isn't here with us anymore, and I know it won't help to say she's in a better place, but she's in a place where she is loved. And I promise you, each of you will see her again and you can laugh and play and tell stories until your eyes grow so heavy that you fall asleep, dreaming of fantastic adventures and triumphs... And then the next morning, you will rise and do so all again."[/color] Her thoughts strayed towards Arthur's powers. Someone would need to teach him to control them, as well as the immense responsibility of raising the dead. There was one girl at Camp Half-blood who instantly came to mind, another person who could communicate with spirits and call them forth... but even if she might be able to help Arthur, Leda didn't want to have to interact with her ex-girlfriend.

She believed that Zeke was the child of Apollo in the prophecy as well, mostly due to Rosie's proximity to him as she had her vision. Of course, Rebecca could have easily been wrong - there were at least a dozen of Zeke's siblings here at Camp - but once again, she didn't believe in coincidence. There were so many forces at play in the universe that randomness and chaos were usually anything but that. She shook Kiera's hand and gave her a curt nod. Her eyes darted over towards Zeke as Chiron and Mr. D arrived. [color=silver]"A Child of Sleep, A Child of Wisdom, A Child of Medicine, to stop an army, to seek the mother of monsters,"[/color] Rebecca recited. [color=silver]"Zeke and I experienced Rosie's vision. A legion of monsters in the Pit, heading in a single direction as one..."[/color] she then added. Her voice was calm and steady as she spoke, as if she was just informing Mr. D and Chiron about the weather forecast for that evening and not the latest prophecy their Oracle had given them. [color=silver]"Olympus should know that Echidna and her children are stirring, amassing a force,"[/color] she finished. The new child of Hypnos was likely meant for this quest and she imagined Zeke to be the child of Apollo, leaving just one unknown variable - which offspring of Athena would be the third member?
