Meeting Us
I remember how simple life used to be. We must be kept a secret until we are past a certain age. And by secret, I mean we get sent to a school in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by forests. No communication with anyone else, except our kind. Once we are done with secondary school (which is when we are all 15) we get sent to Hecate and she puts a spell on us, forbidding anyone to reveal the truth about who we are. Legend has it that one day, someone told the secret and his tongue got so big that he suffocated to death. Legends and rumours is what makes life a bit more exciting.
We have entered the world, and seen a lot of what it’s about. Fashion, heartbreak, crime and beauty. Some of us are now influenced by what we have seen. Every God and Goddess is born at the same time as another. And that is how we figure out our soulmates. We only find out who our soulmates are when we are all 17 and done with Scholdei (God training).
The new era of Gods and Goddesses have five girls and five boys during their training, it is the same every year. You have blonde hair and blue eyed Peitha, who is the Goddess of persuasion. Eros, the God of love, humans call him Cupid but the class calls him the first moron. The other blonde, and Peithas best friend, is Pheme, the Goddess of fame and gossip. She is a delight to have in school. Kratos, God of strength and power who is the second i***t and best friends with the first. Then there is Harmonia, who is the Goddess of harmony. Philotes, the Goddess of affection. Zelus, the God of rivalry and Erebus the God of darkness who are also best friends. Hypnos, who is the God of sleep and a very nice person. And lastly, Mania. Goddess of insanity and the dead.
I am Mania.
