21- Eternal souls

And this is more important, don't you think? Yryhnna used to take her job very seriously, but Aphrodite was right. And Yryhnna had a terrible suspicion that if they wanted to help Seila, they had better do it soon. Or else it would be too late.
But when Yryhnna returned home after the workday she felt better than she had felt since the night Seila left. She was calmer knowing that her father Theodor and Aphrodite supported her, even if Aphrodite was not part of her family, she would always be a great help. Yryhnna was not alone, and that made saving Seila seem easier. That feeling of hope evaporated the moment Yryhnna walked through the front door and saw her father. Mathias was standing in the middle of the living room. It looked like he had walked into the room, then he had forgotten where he was going or what for, and he had just stood there. That morning he hadn't shaved, he had bags under his eyes and his skin was ashen. "Hello, dad," Yryhnna said as she closed the garage door without making a soul.
Not only was he the sole breadwinner for the family, but her health insurance helped support Yryhnna and Seila's mother at her residence. "I thought I was coming home," Mathias said. His normally warm voice sounded hoarse with exhaustion and sadness. -Have you eaten today? -Yryhnna asked as she walked with her father towards the kitchen-. I can prepare something for you. "I'm not hungry," said Mathias. -Lets go dad. I'll prepare something for you. Yryhnna walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. She brought out cold cuts and mayonnaise, and by the time she started to make him a sandwich, Mathias had already come in too and sat at the table. -Have you heard anything about her? -she asked. -No. Yryhnna spread mayonnaise on the bread and avoided looking at him as she spoke. You know that if she was like that, she would have told you. "The thing is, I don't understand why she had to run away," he said, her frustration, now evident, taking over him. She wanted to do so many things...she was even dating Theodor. Why would she leave? I know she was mad at me...-she wasn't mad at you, Yryhnna reassured him. She put the sand


There were almost no cars on the road. It was a completely open stretch of highway,
without lights or homes. The car window was down, and Seila could smell the ocean, which was nearby.
The moon was shining above them, and the broken lines of the road were beginning to blur.
Careful! Daniel said out loud. The car suddenly went to the side, and Seila's eyes shot open. He had his hand on the wheel, guiding it so they wouldn't go off the road.
The truth is that Seila did not usually travel by car, and any animal she saw on the road made her be alert, but she was especially attentive to look for a werewolf on her side, or on the side of the Sirens that could give her signs of where. his sister Mia was there.
- It was just a ferret, it's ferret season, they usually run on the roads at this time of night - Daniel explained shaking his head with a mischievous smile, Seila looked at him sweetly.
- What's happening? Edgar asked, in a panicked voice, from the back seat. All good?
- Yes, Seila is stopping the journey at every moment, making sure that an Owl or another mythological animal approaches us with a message - Daniel said, with his hand still on the steering wheel.
"I'm fine," Seila repeated, "she's fully awake now." She had been on the verge of causing an accident.
-The truth is that mythological animals do exist, especially friends of the Mermaids and I am sure that they could send us a message if one of them approaches us - She said confidently.
- No, you're falling asleep at the wheel, Edgar said.
- If you need to rest. Stop. I can drive. - He wasn't exactly demanding it, but the tone used was forceful, and Seila was too tired to argue with him. Besides, he was right. And she didn't know
