how the human race was given hope. Long ago when the world was new people had two heads , four arms and four legs and arms. The world was happy and prosperous but the gods were angry because the human never worshipped nor prayed. So the king of the gods separated the human shattering them across the four winds. With this the earth began to die , wars broke . the human race was broken and hopeless. Until one goddess took it upon herself to give that back. Tying a red string from one ankle to another connecting soul mates together. But this angered one God in particular.. Zeus . he saw this as an act of difiance one that had to be crushed brutally and swiftly. So the king of the god took Aphrodite's ability to love away. She is one of the most power beings in the world but is broken beyond repair always and forever
Aphrodite has caused the other gods, especially Zeus, to fall in love with mortal women. In retaliation, Zeus puts desire in her heart for King Leon, who is tending his people near the hills near Mount Ida. When Aphrodite sees him she is smitten. She adorns herself as if for a wedding among the gods and appears before him. He is overcome by her beauty, believing that she is a goddess, but Aphrodite identifies herself as a princess. In secret she hides her true identity to protect the small amount of happiness she had created for herself sense she had been cursed (see paragraph above) for many years the goddess guarded her true form from the others. Having a happy life with Leon and their children. Anton, Leandros and Asteria with whom she named in honor to Hecate a beloved friend amongst the gods. Anton from Leon's previous marriage and Asteria was adopted . but Leandros her only blood born child was her stars and moon. Doting on the child to the point of causing strife among the children Dity even suaded her husband to make Leandros sole hire to the throne. On the night before Leandros birthday and the announcement of the new line of succession the people revolted. But the blow came closer to home then the goddess had felt ..Anton wearing the the golden helm lead the people to the disastrous rebellion. Zeus had shown his favor by promising Anton the kingdom and any land that his feet would touch . as long as the prince would kill Leon but leave his mother alone that would be Zeus's job alone..Zeus stabbed Aphrodite with dreamshade knowing it would not kill her but simply made her appear dead to the humans thus ending her years of happiness. Before fading into oblivion of sleep Dity heard whispering words of Zeus in her head What’s done is never done. It remains within us, the story we tell ourselves so we know who we are. A vicious father, a bastard son, and the daughter who betrayed him. Perhaps it’s time for a new story. as she fell to the ground faint yell was the last thing she heard ...
But fate it bends , changes and molds into new pathes all the time : For love is a powerful conductor, for it comes in many forms ...its just a matter of time,fate, failure and redemption... There is a reason they call it the most powerful magic of all...
