And now you're away from her? That must be really tough.
I guess it was more of a large territory in what's now Turkey... you know, there's a book you can read. Actually, there's about five hundred.
Basically, what happened was my grandmother left her husband, who was King of a place called Sparta, and came to Troy to be with another man. It started a war that lasted something like ten years and when it was over, my grandmother was left Queen of this city and because she was immortal, she watched over it for three thousand years. Then she met my grandfather, had my mother... and then she didn't want to live any more. She talked to her father and asked to be made mortal so she could die. Now my mom is Queen and the city itself sits outside of time, so we go back and forth. Kind of a magic to us, too, I guess.
