Erato smiled gently. "I had but one child the last time I had this form. And, I'm not yet a mother in this lifetime," she admitted. "Under normal circumstances, I would be wanting to wait until after I finished school and married, but, if I do, my children will likely just be ordinary humans. Regular people, with no guarantee of heroism, invisible among the throng."
She squeezed his hand tightly. "But today we walk as gods again. Just today. And I feel it, right down to my core, that any child conceived of this power, this day, this moment, will be destined for greatness--a true demigod hero among a sea of mortals. For the world, for what lies ahead, for you, my brave hero, it would be my greatest honor to give birth to a legend--and the heir to carry yours. Together, side-by-side, we could bring up the True Heir of Achilles, the Greatest Hero to Ever Walk The Earth."
She lovingly caressed his cheek. "I offer this gift to you with all my heart, but I cannot force you to take it. I leave the decision in your hands."
