Poor thing, you haven't the heart to tell him otherwise... and in your heart you don't want to refuse him either. Imagining just giving up on this conflict, disappearing off into this untamed new world to find a quiet corner together, and living happily ever after. And then one day when he's passed from this world to the next, you can return with a whole host of demigods, your own beloved family to bring this hostile land to heel. Tame it and the enemies of mankind in ways that you couldn't as a single divine being, but more than could as many. How easy it would be to let him just carry you off into the sunset, and live the life you want...
...but yet again, another sacrifice you must endure, surely? Humanity can not afford for you to follow your heart so frivolously, not when you already risked so much by following your heart with Leon this far. You can let the poor young mortal dream of his ideal future with you, and even let your own imaginings carry it. But at the end of the day you know what needs to be done... surely. And now that you won't be the only being in the world with your divinity, there's things to consider. Particularly in advance, what aspect of divinity (if any) you desire to impart to the child.
>Love, all that you are and carried forth to all the world
>Beauty, perfection given form and dare not to be marred
>Fertility, bringing as much life to the world as creation itself
>Health, that wellbeing always is certain and shared
>Death, as risky as this may be since it is not your natural aspect
>None, just general non-specific divinity affording the overall might and competence of a traditional demigod
>Something else, attempt to capture a divine aspect not your own, and not already claimed
Being that you are a goddess rather than a god, you have the unique advantage of gestating a demigod, thus you can choose for the child as a mother would. It may seem soon when you yourself have only just learned of this joyous event, but that is the nature of divinity, or at least a demigod which will have to contend with mortality reducing their divinity. Of course you could do nothing and let nature take its course, but this whole circumstance to begin with was the result of <span class="mu-i">your</span> nature taking its course, so maybe you ought to take control at some point in your life...
