RE: That Winter, the Wind Blows (A Fiction Competition Entry)
That was a good read. Curiosity however has led me to ask, how did Athan become undying? and who were the people chasing them at the start?

Hi! I'm glad I made you curious. That's really what I aimed for. Sorry.
So back to your question, it was Ambrosia. Ambrosia made Athan an undying. Ambrosia literally means "immortality" in Greek. In addition, the food of the gods are nectar and ambrosia. These made the gods live forever.
When Rosia left that blood in Athan's face, he became an undying. The people chasing them were actually after Ambrosia, after immortality but Athan knew nothing about it. Since she died that night, the people after her stopped chasing her husband and daughter after they shot arrows at them that's why Athan and Amara never faced danger even after staying at that village for a long time.
They thought they would still be chased but, no. Not anymore. But maybe when they found out about Athan, that could change. We'll never know.
That clears things up. Thank you for sharing such a good story.
You're welcome! Thank you for reading and being intrigued by it! I'm touched.
