Greek Mythology Water Nymphs Novels & Stories

He took her hand, "Your hand is cold. After you go in, have a cup of tea first. You fell into the lake today, so you have to be extra careful to not catch a cold. It'll be uncomfortable if you get sick." "Got it. You're so long-winded." She walked forward. He smiled, "I think you're just jealous of my eloquence. Acting like Zephyrus?" She paused. In Greek mythology, the God of the West Wind, Zephyrus, was infatuated with Hyacinthus. Hyacinthus was a very beautiful Spartan prince and lover of the god Apollo.

She was the first Phoenix and guardian of the day. The Goddess Demeter was the protector of the forest and the growth of life on earth. It is said that many people started to worship and care for the forest so much they refused to leave. They were granted the power of flight with wings and powers to oversee all of nature. They were made the guardians of nature and became the first Faes. The God Oceanus was the protector of the water. Just as the people refused to leave the forest, people started living in the water. He granted them the power to breathe and live underwater to become guardians of the Oceans and rivers. These are the Sirens.

Flora could almost hear the chirps of the animals and the sound of their beaks hitting the hard trunk of the tree. The small pond was surrounded with reeds while its surface had lotus leaves and flowers that appeared to float. A single fish seemed to jump out of the water, creating huge ripples on the otherwise calm water, but it had a human expression as if it were gasping for breath. It was not the idyllic scene of the trees nor the small pond that frightened Flora. Like the other portraits in the south wing, she was quite surprised at how the three women were painted. They were supposed to by nymphs from ancient mythology, guardians of the forest. One of the nymphs had a green complexion

Fiona "Fiona! It's not your job to over see the training! That's what head warriors are for! How many times do I have to tell you this?" I cursed under my breath as Aisling gave me sh.it for at least the hundredth time since I got here. The elder water fairy was sitting in her chair by the lake watching the kids as I walked by. Her white, blue, and grey hair was neatly pulled back and she was holding her glass of wine like her life depended on it. Which if she keeps her sh.it up, it very well might.

She had no family, a nymph that was nature’s child, she lived in Paradise along with the other nymphs and the woman she had supported in their rightful revolution against men. Arethusa was the queen of the nymphs, while Cetus and Nereus were creatures of too much esteem for a nymph, no matter how high her prestige could reach, a simple nymph would not get to know the essence of the elements. Only mediums. Cetus and Nereus were both devastated, the force of their devastation was only matched by Arethusa’s own.

I could almost see the stream of water sloshing beneath their skin. Soph snorts. "Werewolves and water nymphs. A match made in hell." "Water nymphs," I echo. "Yes. Belonging to the family of sea shifters. They're right up there with sirens, mermans, kelpies and the rest. Nasty creatures, if you ask me." I sit, settling into the high-backed chair with the intention of observing other groups scattered around, but a ping sounds--and it's like a shock wave, soon countless ping notifications go off.

She beamed proudly. All the young women talked to Damen for what seemed like an eternity. Then there were Oceanides. "Their name has the ocean in it but they have nothing to do with the seas unless we have parties of course; they are the nymphs of freshwater; daughters of Oceanus and Tethys." "Is Poseidon going to be here? "Nah, he only attends major religious festivals and is busy the rest of the time. Pontus and Thalassa are barely here as well."

Theresa walked along the bush path and down towards the stream where the wood nymphs had their daily bath. She saw two barely-clad nymphs being wooed by a muscular satyr holding a flute and she called out in a cheerful greeting, "Morning, forest nymphs." The nymphs were beautiful creatures who lived in the forest. They were rather renowned for their melodious voices which inevitable pulled lustful satyrs to them. Unlike their distant cousins who inhabited other parts such as the water, caves etc., the forest nymphs were frequently seen more than their sisters.

"Let's back things up a bit. Fill in the gaps for me. Let's start with who and what you are." "I'm Naia." She ran her hands across her body. "This is what I am. I am a nymph." "A nymph?" The gears in his brain spun. He had only heard the word used in nymphomaniac. "Can you elaborate?" "I am a water spirit." She stirred the water with one finger, summoning a floating sphere. "My spring was dammed up over a century ago. Luckily, the water was diverted through the fountain in the yard, and eventually pipes were installed to allow spring water to come up through the pipes to this tub so that I could come inside."
