The Story Of Medusa Novels & Stories

“Do you know the story of Andromeda?” I nodded my head, indicating that I was unfamiliar with the story. Aarya began to explain, “King Cepheus and Queen Cassiopeia had a daughter named Andromeda, whom they claimed was more beautiful than the daughters of Poseidon. When the humans grew arrogant, Poseidon sent a monster to ravage their kingdom. To appease the beast, Cassiopeia chained Andromeda. Luckily, Perseus, who had slain Medusa, found her and defeated the monster, saving Andromeda.”

"what are you looking for?" “Information on those Greeks. It says Athena turned Medusa into that thing and Perseus beheaded her. They both were there but not once did they approach Medusa nor did she. Hell, if it was me and an asshole cut my head off I'll want his ass dead.” Boyds glances at Herb and then back at the laptop. “So would I. Maybe since that monster is coming, they buried the hatchet.” Herb leans back in the chair and throws his feet on Boyd’s desk. "Hell, I don't know."

My eyebrows furrowed together. "Huh? Who is Medusa?" I asked in confusion. Marga sat down on the bench while sighing, and suddenly, tears rolled down her face. "Medusa is a half-snake and half-human. Her hair is covered with snakes and when you look into her eyes, you will turn into a stone. That happened to those people..." she said while pointing to the statues and wiping away the tears on her face. My eyes widened while looking at the statues. Now I know why the plaza looks abandoned. It reminds them that these statues were once alive.

The hissing of snakes enveloped the room with unease but still the attacker was unhitched, she continued with the assault until life left Medusa. With a loud scream Medusa took her final breathe. Her stunning face, now a collaboration of mangled flesh and broken bones. Medusa was dead, dead at the hands of her supposed prey. The attacker didn't stop there, she continued the attack until Medusa was completely immobile. A loud thud rumbled from the ground. It was Melissa, she had been de-petrified due to Medusa's death. Melissa fell to the floor, gasping for breathe with a stream of coughs.

I wanted him to see that I cannot be broken, that I cannot be ruined, despite his best efforts to degrade me as a human being and use me as a pawn to gain leverage over my family. I didn’t fight, cry, or scream. I endured not because I could, but because I had to survive. I had to live to see the day when the wheels would turn, and karma would find its course. They say Medusa was cursed to trade off her beauty for stone, her gorgeous locks for snakes, but the truth was: it wasn’t a curse but her power. The power of a wronged maiden who had fallen prey to the greed and lust of the cruel God. So, she chose to be worshipped as a goddess among monsters so no one could ever ravage her again.

“I began broadening my horizons. Visiting the darkest corners of hell. Home to some of the darkest, most depraved creatures. It was the first time I’d felt something other than boredom in longer than I could remember. They taught me of my abilities. Showed me my potential. It was there I learned of my fate. “Pure magic mixed with dark magic. Heaven and Hell colliding. The Gods and Goddess’ never intended on a merger of the two and ensured that our paths needn’t cross. A tale as old as time; Medusa. Such a fragile creature. Weak but full of light and so devoted to Athena. But the powerful Poseidon came and took what was his. Athena, being the bitch she was, cursed Medusa. Darkness was mixed w

Medusa, a resplendent young demon with blood-red skin and hazel eyes, bowed before him, acknowledging the honor bestowed upon her. "Of course, Your Highness," she affirmed, her voice filled with loyalty. "Now, take her and procure human breast milk, that she may grow and thrive," he declared, tapping Medusa's shoulder. With that, he dismissed her, turning his attention elsewhere. Medusa carried the baby away, settling her gently upon a bed. She fashioned a protective nest of pillows, encircling the child to prevent any mishap. The infant's cries persisted, her tiny legs kicking, mouth agape.

Her mousey-blonde hair looks greasy and knotted, around her eyes look worn and sunken but her eyes themselves… The light shining from the doorway gives me a glimpse into her eyes and it makes my blood run cold. I’ve looked into the eyes of people as they took their last breath. I’ve seen the eyes of the dead. I’ve even seen the eyes of pure evil. But these eyes… their normal glimmering shade of topaz appear vacant while holding memories of horrors many couldn’t even begin to imagine. It’s almost as if I can see those horrors replaying themselves in her eyes, sharing their terror with any who dare to look. Reminds me of the tale of Medusa. A beautiful woman; raped by Poseidon and punished by

Right, I think it's an in built trait of being cousin of him. But what was the thing that Medusa said not to let Eros know? Is there anything else that author forgot to mention? And why did Medusa seem so broken while saying those words? What was that thing actually. Why do I feel like it was something important and serious as she said those words right before cutting her tongue herself.
