"Kleito now slept soundly, indifferent to any of the thoughts which concerned her mother. Brushing a brown curl which had escaped waywardly across her forehead, I watched over her like a she-wolf, aware that the palace would be a very dangerous place for Amazons tonight. I didn’t love my daughter, but in the event of my demise, she would be the only part of me left. Thus, I was vigilantly careful for my own safety, and hers. Perhaps this was love."
