The man and the goddess

The story seemed to be written from the perspective of Ianthe and not Mikhail, as one would expect. Ianthe wasn't a Goddess who used to be mortal and had ascended, but she had existed as a Goddess since the beginning of time.

She used to travel around the mortal realm, as it had so much to offer compared to the other realms they could visit. She met a young man on one of those trips who changed her world.

That man was none other than Mikhail, who was barely over his twenties then.

She rarely interacted with mortals, and this was one of those rare cases.

They had a great date, and he showed her something she hadn't encountered, like fireworks or the most incredible cooked chicken she had ever tasted. He even told her stories that weren't true, that had her fully emerge into his words.
