#mood

A forbidden child has been claimed. How long did think that secret would keep?

"Do you know the story of how I came to be this way? Athena was everything to me. I worshipped her, I prayed to her. I made offerings. She never answered. Not even an omen to suggest she appreciated my love. I wasn’t like you, sweetheart. I was you. I would have worshipped her that way for a lifetime in silence. But then one day, another god came, and he broke that silence."

"you're a monster" he hissed....

❝ The stage is empty, and you watch as the figure of Medusa steps into the gas-light. Her body is dressed in a crimson traversed by the golden branches of willow trees, colour and light held into shape by sharp black borders. Lifting languidly her hands, she reaches towards you. Her emerald vipers, in the cohesive movements of unseen mechanisms, weave loops about her head. ❞ ―       Tamara Rendell, Mystical Tides
