A Stony Gaze

Many admired Athena. Stories of her glorious adventures and deeds as the goddess of wisdom. The daughter of the almighty god Zeus and the great titan Metis. Helping many heroes along the way. However there were some parts...some parts which were questionable. This was the story of one lone woman. A half-angel and a half-forest nymph. She was Athena’s best warrior, her aide, and most of all her best friend. Her story... One of the more unfortunate ones. Poseidon, king of the seas, fell in love with her at first sight. He was Athena’s lover at the time. However she was too loyal to Athena. He forced her to make love with him, inside of Athena’s temple. Outraged by what she saw, she cursed her! To the corner of the world, turned her into a monster, and... ...abandoned her. Killed by a hero sent by her own best friend she was sent to the deepest parts of hell. Tartarus. Tortured and forced to live in the hell hole she lost all hope. That was when a being, outside of their world more powerful than anything gave her a gift. It was called simply ‘System’. This was the story of her regaining her glory. This was the story of her path for vengeance. This was the story of her destroying the heavens in which the gods lazed upon. This was the story of Medusa. *************** I may have incorporated Greek names and such but it’s little different. Hope you enjoy.
