Ellies's Point of View
I am standing at the balcony, looking at the calming view of the land.
I sighed.
It has been a week since I came here, and everything is still not clear for me.
Why? How? I kept on asking myself that questions over and over again.
Why? Why am I brought in this place? Is it really true? Am I really the lost daughter of goddess Persephone? But, how? How did it happened?
I am Ellies. A human. Not a goddess nor a princess.
I am Ellies Addams, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Addams. How did I became the daughter of Persephone?
Every time I think about it, it only makes things complicated and messier. It only makes my head hurt.
I was already lost at my thoughts when someone disturbed me.
"A penny for your thoughts?" she said.
"Ah, Aphrodite! It's you!"
I shouted happily and hugged her tight.
"I'm sorry, when did you came home?"
I asked as I guided her back to the center table in the room that I'm currently occupying.
"Just now. I hurriedly finished all the works that Alexus assigned to me."
she said while looking at me intently.
"Ah, I see."
All I could manage to say without looking at her.
Aphrodite was gone for three days because she needs to do the thing that Alexus tasked her to do.
"Anyway, I've been knocking on your door several times but it seems like you were lost at your own thoughts. What seems to be bothering at the mind of our dear princess?"
She asked, still looking at me. I got goosebumps.
"Princess." I uttered looking at her
"Yes. Princess. You. Aren't you still comfortable about it?"
She asked laughing. I stopped and stared at her face.
Aphrodite is beautiful. If she wasn't a diwata, she could pass as a goddess.
She has long wavy ash-brown hair, long curved eye lashes and thick eye brows. Her black colored eyes matched her fair white skin tone. Her lips are pinkish, and her body is curved perfectly.
A true goddess, indeed.
"What? W-what are you staring at? You're making me uncomfortable"
She complained awkwardly. I just giggled.
"Nothing. You're just so beautiful. I never thought a girl as beautiful as you are, existed"
I said while looking directly to her eyes that had made her blushed.
"T-thank you, princess Athena"
I sighed.
"I am no princess. And I am not Athena. I am Ellies Addams"
I said.
"You still don't believe it?"
A voice suddenly appeared out of nowhere. And as I turned my back to the owner of the voice, I saw Alexus.
"Alexus"
Aphrodite and I said in unison
"Come, fix yourselves. We will go to Orphious"
He said before leaving the room
"Who's Orphious?"
I asked.
"He is the babaylan of Parsea. He knows everything" she explains.
"A babaylan?"
I asked while combing my hair. She nodded
"A babaylan, also called a shaman is someone who has the ability to mediate with the spirit world, has their own spirit guides, and is given gifts of healing." she explained further.
"Where does Orphious lives?" I asked again, feeding my curiosity
"Orphious lives at the Kingdom of Mermarians"
she said while fixing her gorgeous hair.
"Mermarians?! Orphious is a Mermaid?!"
I said in shock. Aphrodite laughs loudly
"Oh, Ellies. You never fail to amazed me" she said still laughing at me
"What?!" I said raising my eyebrow
"Haha I'll explain everything to you as soon as we get there. Let's go"
She said and then pulled me outside my room.
We are walking at the big hallway of the castle. I still couldn't believe that I am living in a castle.
I roamed my eyes at the hallway, the walls are painted white, a statue of a man and a woman covered with gold. And a bigger gold colored staircase.
"Wow" I said in amusement.
"Ah, they're here. Finally"
I shifted my gaze at the front as I heared Alexus speaking. And again, for a hundredth time, I felt my jaw dropped.
Alexus looked more beautiful than he usually is with his gold and white suit.
He was holding a gold rope and is standing at the side of a
"A Pegasus?! Wow!"
I shouted with excitement as I ran towards them
"Wow! What a lovely Pegasus! What's his name, Alexus?"
I asked him. My lips were stretched widely as I smiled from ear to ear.
Getting no response, I turned to Alexus and was caught off guard when I saw him smiling genuinely while looking at me.
"W-why? Is there s-something wrong?" I asked him out of confusion.
"Nothing. You just look much more beautiful when you smile"
He said without breaking his staring. His smiles are breath taking
I withdrawn and shifted my gaze back at the pegasus as I felt my cheek turned red.
"Uhm, this is Satyr. The kingdom's Pegasus." I looked at him as he introduces,
"Satyr, this is Ellies. The lost princess of Parsea" he continued
I got a sudden chills as to what he just said. Announcing that I am their lost Princess
I just sighed and looked at Satyr.
My eyes widened in surprise when Satyr slowly bow down his head and kneeled his one leg to the ground like he's welcoming me.
