Ganymede

Apagorevetal 0.1

Hera couldn’t find words to convince the Graces. “Ganymede just wanted to see Aphrodite by today and she was going to be present here. Perhaps that might be the reason for Ganymede.” Hera made a clever go at her words.

Ganymede fell on his knee to the ground, his one arm supporting his weight on the ground and the other he placed on his face as if grieving for something he did not even pursue. “I see. And what does Ganymede have to vocalize in his explanation?” The Graces turned towards him, like a horrific predator, with glaring eyes glowing white so white the pupils had disappeared. “Hera brought me here. Lord Zeus and I had a little convocation allotted but, the goddess-” Ganymede felt choked. His nerves raised on his face and he turned red. He was severely deprived of breath. He fell on the ground and saw Hera’s eyes were glowing green. She was doing it.

“Please Hera, I would like to listen the aggregate here.” The Grace gestured her hand to make Hera stop. “Yes” she stopped.

Ganymede gasped for air. He coughed to relive his pain. “Speak Ganymede this is thou only chance to reveal the pattern of your stars and where they take you.” Ganymede took a deep breath “Hera suggested that in spite of sharing the evening with Lord Zeus, I must spare the evening for Thy Hera as escort to Avli Ton Theons.”

Everyone gasped. “Oh good gracious, seems Hera is guilty as much. But thou Ganymede are at a greater disadvantage here. I cannot condemn my orders for thy deeds. What ever the trap Hera set here, but you did agree to come along. Also, you put your hands on a goddess. Unacceptable.”

Ganymede’s eye left a tear. ‘Darn that inebriate. If only he was conscious enough. It’s a rule every man alive knows. What did I do to deserve such fate? My beloved father, I apologise to have let thou head down.”

The Garces stood up and walked to Hera, hovering her. Hera felt scared but as the Goddess of the goddesses, she gave her all to hide it all. “Ganymede shall be ward off to the Gaia Realm. That’s only fair. He must be reduced to the status of human for such humanly deeds.” Said the Graces. “But it was equally the trickery of Peit-” “WE THE GREEK UPHOLDERS OF JUDICIARY DECLARE GANYMEDE DEBBARED AS WE MUST TO THE GAIA REALM” loud silence filled the arena. The Grace took a deep breath “Ganymede is to be sent on exile for 81 years on the Gaia Realm. Leaving his godliness. Without any powers.” Murmurs covered the entire room. A court full of beautiful goddesses all taken by surprise. Peitho who was audience to all this slithered away from behind the gathering.

Somehow, she couldn’t. She was dragged back to the court. “The hearings are not over yet, Peitho and dear Hera. However, Ganymede can leave now. Your proceeding will be borrowed to you tomorrow morning.” Ganymede got up and walked away. His head hung low, defeated. ‘Beauty is but great dilemma. Innumerable times have I been abducted. The pain is endless. All love this pretty face. No one did ever explore this soul of mine. So lone. And so suffered.’ Ganymede thought as he walked away back to the great door where all his sufferings begun from. He sat outside the doors. Insulted and sullen. But beautiful as ever. Angels rained tiny flowers on him to comfort him. He looked up and lend a heartfelt gratitude. “Allow me this solitude today o great angels of Olympus. I appreciate the efforts.” ‘No use in painting white over black. It only makes grey.’ Ganymede thought to himself.

Back in the court the Graces continued their hearings. “Hera hast committed a crime no smaller. These emotions of envy and jealousy will never depart your head. You will yearn for love but the insecurities will never leave your company.” Hera left the court, walking away with her head held high in denial to her curse as if to convince herself her actions were not as bad.

“And as for Peitho, you will partake the form of an earthling during the sixty first year of Ganymede’s exile and fall in love with him during the seventy ninth year. You shall yearn for his lover affection but you will never receive it.” Peitho burst into laughter. “Pity. What a shame.” Peitho too took her leave with these words.

All the goddesses were preparing to leave now. If anyone had a great time it was Mania and Kotys. “Did you see the fear on Hera’s face Kotys? Priceless! HA! I wish she had pulled her hair out with her own hands and ran off crying like a young earthling. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN SOME SIGHT FOR SURE!! HAHAHA” Mania laughed lunatically. “Oh, please Mania, keep at least a descent amount of sanity for a while. My eyes were fixated on Ganymede. What a heavenly face, what grace! Wish I could pleasure myself off that man. Hera did a great job bringing him along I would say. What an eye pleaser. But somehow, he looked even younger…” “HAAH! WEREN’T YOU PAYING ATTENTION KOTYS?! He was taking a dip in the Hebe’s pool with naked Peitho. LOOKS LIKE PEITHO PLEASURED HERSELF OFF BEFORE YOU KOTYS HAHAHAH... GOOD LORD I CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF THE COMEDY HERA BROUGHT ALONG. I drew a tear.” Kotys felt a burn in her stomach. She tightened her hands into strained fists “That Peitho… How dare she palmed Ganymede before me. I feel envious. What do I do with this burning desire now mania?” “Follow Ganymede I suppose HA!” “Oh dear, I suppose what Peitho will have to say about that now…See you in Gaia realm Gany-mede. Thou have my eyes upon you.” “HUUHH??!!?! Not fair Kotys…why must you enjoy all the frenzy alone?!?!? Allow me to supersede too. Finally! Some madness I can find now!!! Oh my, the pleasure is immense HAHAHAHAHA!!”
