Warmth filled the home of Hestia once more. She felt her family coming together. Slowly but surely, life was returning to her family's hearth. The flames burned brighter, danced higher.
"I've been waiting for this day," Hestia smiled.
"I haven't seen you in a long time, Hestia," Aphrodite said, sitting down next to the hearth.
"Eventually, you have to spread your wings and leave the nest. But you will always return."
Aphrodite smiled. "You always know how to warm someone's heart."
"That's my specialty."
"Will you help me?"
"Like I said, I've been waiting for this day," Hestia smiled, squeezing the love goddesses' hand. Aphrodite smiled.

The goddesses were reunited:
Artemis, the protector of the children and the vulnerable.
Athena, the protector of knowledge.
Demeter, the protector of the Earth.
Persephone, the protector of youth.
Hera, the protector of women.
Hestia, the protector of broken families.
And Aphrodite...
The protector of all.
