Slaving away
Kalypso waited on the corner with the dozen or so other New Yorkers. Kal could have easily flown over to the caterers, but she liked doing things like normal people. She had spent eighteen years doing things the normal way and would continue to do them like normal people even though she had fancy powers. Kal didn’t like to draw attention to herself and left that to her mother. Sersi loved attention.
The light changed and Kal crossed the street with the rest of the pedestrians. The summer so far had been spent working for her mother. Sersi’s party planning business had really taken off and it meant the two of them were constantly busy. Kal had barely seen Jack this summer because her mother had kept her so busy.
Not that Kal minded so much. It was something to do and it kept Sersi from bugging her about college. Kalypso didn’t understand why her mother was pushing school so hard. It’s not like Kal needed to go to school. One, she had all the time in the world to learn things and two; she didn’t need to get a job to make money. She wasn’t as good at transmutation as her mother, but she was good enough to make lumps of gold.
Kal checked her watch. She only had a few more minutes to get to the caterers before they closed. She increased her pace.
