Cautiously she picked the book up, ‘Rules For Immortals’ She read out loud and sat in the chair opening the first page she began to read and was soon engrossed. In the shadows her Mother watched her eyes soft with love, ‘With eighteen years Your time is come Enchantress rise Thy powers hard won Girl to woman Memories held deep The locket will open No tears to weep The spell now broken All locks are open Find your Beast Beauty Love’s kiss your only duty’

“I’m just finishing a manuscript. Clyden became my inspiration, and he’s been kind enough to help.” I didn’t care whether she believed me or not. “Oh my gosh, really?” she said excitedly. “I want to buy your book! What’s your name? You’re so cute—I feel like I could just keep you in my pocket.” “Gaea—oh, wait. My friend is calling.” I stood up, washed my hands, and hurried out to get my phone. “Russu? Why are you calling?” I asked, confused. “Don’t you have work today? Or are you just calling because you want to talk to someone as gorgeous as me?”

"Zeke! You're going too far." "But still! Let me just go with you. I promise not to disturb you." He said. I just shook my head as I went inside the library after saying ' goodbye ' to them. I feel Zeke following me in librarian table and sign into a log book as I did. I roam around the bookshelves and find something interesting to read. The Greek mythology book about Poseidon catches my attention and when I was about to get it when Zeke grab it. I just rolled my eyes at his childishness.

As I spin I stifle a scream. Making its way through the trees is something truly out of a myth. From top to bottom it is a mish-mash of creatures. Its twin heads are that of both a goat and a lion. The heads join at the shoulders to the body of a lion, all ending in a tail with a serpent's head. Growing up I was always interested in mythology. The name of the creature easily came to mind; Chimera. I try to back away slowly, hoping it hasn’t yet noticed me.But as per my usual clumsy self, I end up tripping over my own feet.

They thought I would match the goddess of wisdom, Athena. Unfortunately, from all those meaningful meanings, I only got stuck with one—courage. My mom's Greek so she used to tell me stories about mythology when I was little but I myself, don't really give a damn about Greek mythology. I only know one though, Cupid which is Eros and Eros which is Cupid. Make sense.

Cole said and even though I nodded, I only half heard what he said. I walked over to the sculpture of Adonis just a few meters away from the wall-mounted tv. Reaching a finger up, I grazed the sculpture lightly, a small smile finding its way onto my face. It was the first time I’d seen the sculpture of Adonis in person. Prior to that day, I’d only seen it in books. If there was something else I inherited from my mom aside from my curves it had to be her obsession with Greek mythology. My mom was so obsessed that she named all her five children after the Greek gods and goddesses. I remember that she had countless Greek mythology books lying about in the house and only I out of all my siblings

“According to G****e, Hades, who is also known as the god of the underworld had three children, Zagerus, Macaria, and Melinoe. The first is a boy while Macaria and Melinoe are girls. Now if you’d ask me, I think this information is irrelevant. Nothing concerns Greek mythology with Nigerian homicidal maniacs.” A smile crawled into Lex’s lips. “Actually, it does.” “How, if I may ask.” Bob folded his arms indignantly. “Yes; maybe G****e thinks Hades had one son – or none at all, but that’s not a reliable source, is it?” “You just said ‘G****e’ isn’t reliable.” Byron chipped in. “For once I have to agree with the kid. You just said G****e, the most reliable source of information on the web, the

Didn't it suggest that no one had been in here since I left? That was the best possible explanation I could come up with. Regardless I picked up an old book, flipping through its pages, I ended up on a page it was titled: The Moon Goddess. It was probably a myth about the sun and the moon goddess, just a bunch of stories told to young werewolves, sometimes it was meant to scare them, other times to educate. I slammed the book close, I wasn't here for fairy tales and myths. I was here for legends, actually stories that had something to do with me.

"Let's get down to business then." He rose from his seat, walked to the bookshelf, and pulled out a large, leather-bound book. He placed it on the coffee table beside his phone with a heavy thud. I scanned the crimson cover. Greek Gods was stamped across the center in elegant gold cursive. "Before you start looking for Nicholas, you need to understand the story of Selene, the Moon Goddess, and Endymion, the mortal who stole her heart." Just hearing Selene's name sent a flare of fury through me. The way she'd pulled my strings and made me dance on her palm like a damn puppet made my blood boil. I had truly believed Sofia was someone I would die for. What a fool I'd been.

" Well, not everything was burned into ashes... There was a book that the fire couldn't burn. The book is protected by some sort of spells - we tried to reach for the help of witches, but none of them was able to figure how to open it, neither read it. The book is writing in Mycenaean Greek - the most ancient attested form of the Greek language, on the Greek mainland and Crete in Mycenaean Greece (16th to 12th centuries BC)." " Can I have a look at that book?" Asked Chris, and she nodded while looking for the book she was talking about. Somehow it feels wrong to gain someone's trust only to trick him, or kill him in our case. But seeing the thing those people have done to my kind, yet still
