Bet'anya / Bethany is the reincarnation of Bathymaas, an Egyptian goddess of justice, though for millennia she had no memory of that life after losing her love Aricles. Reborn now as an Atlantean goddess she and other gods of the Atlantean Pantheon are tasked with finding a god named Apostolos. Along the way however while in mortal form ( a blind young woman) she falls in love with the young handsome peasant soldier named Hector, who she much later discovers is actually the General Prince Styxx of Didymos, Commander of the Stygian Omada. The same young man who she waged war against when he warred against her city-state of Atlantis unknowing that he was her beloved Hector.

She eventually learned of Styxx's identity and told him that she was Set's daughter, but did not tell him she was a goddess. She planned to give up her godhood and live as a mortal with him as she was pregnant with their child, but just before their wedding, another Atlantean goddess- Apollymi , mother to the hunted Apostolos, obliterated the entire Atlantean pantheon in rage of what was done to her son.

Bethany and the other Atlantean gods existed as non-sentient statues in the island of Katoteros, the Atlantean equivalent of Olympus, for eleven thousand years. Bethany and Styxx's son was miraculously spared by Apollymi, and the child was placed in another woman to be delivered and raised.

The Atlantean gods were eventually reawakened but Bethany was not because both halves of her heart were missing. Her father, Set, had removed and hidden one half after Aricles died and Bathymaas went on a vengeful rampage; the other half died and was reborn with Styxx. The jealous greek goddess Leto had now stolen Set's half and used this to summon Bathymaas and trick her into killing Styxx. When Styxx was reborn yet again, now with his Chthonian powers that were denied to him at birth, the couple was finally reunited and Bethany was whole. They delightedly discovered their son had survived and was still alive going by the name Urian and later their second son, Aricles, was born just nine months later.

Modern /Reincarnation verse:

In which Bethany (refer to main bio) did die in the attack on the Atlantean gods and was later reborn in modern as Bethania Al-Galal. Set once again fathered her with an especially bright Egyptian-Greek historian woman who had no idea that her one night stand had been with an Egyptian god. Bethania is doted on by her mother and her step-father who loves her dearly as his own tragedy however seems forever destined to haunt all her lives as she loses both her parents in a terrible train crash in her late teens. Determined to continue their work, Bethania goes on to become an archeologist in the cut throat world of antiquities in Egypt.

One day, however, she found herself pick pocketed by a young boy who stole a small artifact off her person, she managed to catch up to him trying to sell it to a vendor in exchange for food. Moved by the state of him and his clear desperation for food she pays him for her own artifact and buys him food to eat. The eight year old, Gale Urian Peters, eventually confesses that he ran away from an orphanage, that his parents, an English man and Greek mother, had been murdered and that he had no other family. Knowing just what that was like she offers him a job as her assistant with room, board, food and pay and he delightedly accepts.

They immediately become exceptionally close and quickly slip into that of mother & son, referring to each other as such. Now Bethania (26) with her right hand & son , Gale (10), are one of Egypt's best upcoming archeologists earning more than plenty of rivals and enemies in every corner of Cairo with how eerie both are able to discover ancient sites with relative ease.

" I think we're more than overdue for a conversation."

There was only one reason she was outside right now and it was because Styxx was asleep. It was only just barely that she was able to slip from his arms that wrapped around her like a soft cage unwilling to let her leave for anything. In truth she could've spent every single waking breath in his arms, but she needed to reorient herself to Katateros and its changes...to the fact that thousands of years had passed in what felt like a blink. To the fact that her husband's twin brother was Apollymi's long hidden son and the reason why she had been frozen and her child ripped from her belly.

"There are only three reasons why I'm not kicking your atlantean butt all over Katateros right now." She said, her arms folded over her chest much like him, walking up and then past him so they could walk outside. The halls could echo and she didn't want her husband to wake up and overhear lest he start throttling his brother all over again. "Because one, you helped save my baby's life when he needed it. Gale-...Urian is my everything now. Two because Styxx said you two have some what reconciled and three-"

Having walked past him, ahead towards the garden, she paused and threw a withering glare his way. "You saved my husband's life. This time. I haven't forgotten the fact that its thanks to you and your mother for what happened to us. I know that you didn't know what you were then, but that doesn't mean I am letting you off for what happened to Styxx since then."

He hadn't told her in as many words about what had happened between the last time they saw each other, but the vagueness and terseness of the words spoke volumes....in-between the extant bliss they spent the entire night. He was the breath in her lungs. Her everything and her future. Now they had a future again and with their son. It was in spite of and thanks to Acheron and his mother. The hurricane of conflict and gratitude were vicious and blurred and as the goddess of misery and the hunt she leaned into what she knew best- which was why she strode back up him, head tilted slightly up as eyes flashed in clear distinction. She came from two pantheons and would not hold her punches in the instance it would be needed.

"I will do whatever it takes to protect my family - every single time. And after meeting Tori and Bas I know you would too, but if you ever threaten my family's life again in ANY way- I will hunt your ass down and make you wish your mother had ended the world. Are we clear?"

"Oh... uh... hi." Ash said in awkward greeting. Offering an apologetic smile as he nearly ran into her. Not paying any attention to where he was walking. He hadn't expected to run into her so soon, but then again... Kateteros wasn't that terribly big.

He hadn't really spoken to Bethany... well... never, actually. But right now his excuse was letting his brother and her reconnect after their long absence apart. He hadn't wanted to bother them.

Though now, he supposed he ought to at least talk to her a little. It was the right thing to do if he wished to rebuild his relationship with Styxx, right? There were many things to talk about, to apologize for. But he couldn't seem to find the words now.

He stood there a moment in silence, a slight tick working in his jaw as he inernally fought over what to do. Should he just... initiate? Hell, he might as well since she was here. What was the worst that could happen? She could just leave.

He shifted his weight to one leg, arms crossing loosely over his chest as he averted his gaze to peer out through the open archway of the hall that overlooked the sea. Then he'd force himself to look back, meeting her gaze. He wasn't a coward, he could at least offer to talk. It was the least he could do.

"Hey, since you're here-- do you care to come and chat for a little while?"
