“The original four that gave a drop of blood to forge the stones were gods and goddesses. So far we have deduced it was most likely Bastet, the goddess of werecats. Morrigan herself, the witch and goddess of the forest. The great grandfather of the sky and…” “And?” Finn asked, closing in on his sister, trying to bully the answer from her. Of course, Hunji steps in front of her protectively and stares down Finn until he relaxes and takes a step back.

Elena introduced the topic with confidence, her voice steady as she explained the common themes in shifter mythology across different cultures. “In Norse mythology,” she said, gesturing to an image on the screen behind her, “we see the concept of the berserker - warriors who would take on the spirit of the wolf or bear, channeling their ferocity in battle. The term itself comes from Old Norse, meaning ‘bear-shirt,’ referring to their animalistic transformation.” She moved through her slides, discussing Native American legends of skinwalkers, Celtic tales of selkies, and the enduring symbolism of wolves in folklore. The students were engaged, asking thoughtful questions and jotting down notes

"Our founding mythology. The source of our power and identity—" "Is a grave," Alexander interrupted. "A consciousness formed from the moment your ancestors tore apart divine beings and scattered them across reality. You haven't been worshipping a god. You've been worshipping a corpse. A screaming, suffering consciousness that has been begging for release since before your species evolved enough to understand what it was." He reached into his pocket and withdrew the one artifact he had brought with him—not a weapon, but a recording. A memory crystal that contained the wound's final moments, its release of millennia of preserved truth.

He gave me a soft smile, making me return a shy smile. “You know, in Greek mythology, Althaia was the Queen of Calydon, and a woman of fierce passion. She is celebrated in an ancient story about the fate of her son, Meleager. When he was born, the Moirai, or the Fates in English, came to foretell his future, and they predicted he would die as soon as one of the sticks in the fireplace burned out completely. When Althaia heard that, she pulled the stick from the fire, put the fire out, and hid it in a safe place.”

Drake says. “Does it say how you will change the world, bringing the broken factions together?” I ask. He frowns at me. “Did you read it?” “No, I didn’t have to. It’s what you’re doing.” After the first night, the tension goes away and over the next week, we meet GoldMoon, the Ceryneian Hind from Greek mythology, the techrechauns, the trolls, and finally, we got to meet Lucero, the unicorn.

“So I thought we could do a representation of common misconceptions of our ancestors. Ones that came from either movies, books or even folklore itself.” Liam nodded, his expression thoughtful. “I like that. We could pull from the most well known ones. Like how vampires turn into bats.” Liam hissed the last word. “Or like how werewolves senselessly attack humans when we change, or how just a simple bite or scratch will turn you or how we howl every time we see the moon.” Ethan rolled his eyes clearly annoyed. “And how witches are always green, ugly and evil.” Maya had been jotting down every idea that had been voiced.

I am afraid but I must fuel my curiosity. My fingers trail over books as I use my eyes to search. “History of the Great Wars. Wolf-Clan Genealogies.” Useless!! In a corner, I find a smaller shelf with older, cracked bindings. One title stands out: Creatures of Myth and Scarcity. I pull it free, coughing at the plume of dust, and sink to the floor in a pool of blue velvet. I open it. Swan Mythology. It is exactly what I am looking for.

Eros said. “Well, that’s just awesome. Not only am I a Goddess, excuse me, a New Goddess but there are also Werewolves and Vampires out there. Anything else I need to know?” I asked putting my head in my hands. I could feel a headache coming on. “Most Myths are real.” Hades said. “Thanks.” I said giving him my best side eye. “You’re welcome.” He said, not understanding my sarcasm. “Aria.” My sister warned.

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.

"As we go through today’s lecture, I want you to think about this question: where do we draw the line between myth and memory? How much truth does a story need before it becomes history?" Slide after slide, I guide them through centuries of folklore, Nordic shapeshifters, Mesopotamian demons, Romanian strigoi. Occasionally, I pause to ask a question, encouraging dialogue, and the braver students raise their hands, their answers sparking small discussions. One of the final slides features a shadowy cave painting, an eerie figure half man, half beast. My chest tightens slightly as I speak about it, the image reminding me far too much of that vision in the cave months ago. I mask the discomfort
