Diana shivers through the dark cold night. Her Ragged clothes couldn't warm her up. So instead she sat down in a corner, and clasped her hands tightly and with her warm breath she blew a soft and long breath. Warming her hands ever so slightly.
Diana Slept with an empty stomach, Under the clear dark skies with the moon shining brightly. Every Minute her stomach aches; Hoping that tomorrow she receives just a tiny amount of food. But Diana has no choice but to endure the pain and agony she is going through.
Meanwhile Zeus; The Prince of the Kingdom of Katayaeka is eating along with his family. He usually finishes first so that he could go straight to his room and stargaze through his window. "The stars look beautiful tonight" Zeus spoke to himself, "They sure are, Your Highness" said the Butler "CURSE OF MEDUSA!" Zeus shouted "Please don't startle me again Sebastian" Zeus added "My Deepest apologies Your Highness. It will never happen again", "Very well, could you please prepare my bath?" Zeus asked Sebastian "Yes Your Highness" Sebastian replied
While Sebastian is preparing Zeus's bath, Zeus is down in the Garden, trying to get a good look at the stars while lying down in a bench. Moment's pass Sebastian told Zeus that his bath is ready. Zeus thanked Sebastian and quickly ran towards his bathroom and took a quick bath. After taking a bath he brushed his teeth before going to bed.
Dawn came and Diana woke up with a blurry vision, Shivering body, and an agonizing pain from her abdomen. She stood up with her back arched. She hangs on to a wall as she fights for her life from death. "Food" Diana whispered in a raspy voice. Fortunately, she found a pile of thrash, she quickly forages for Food. She found a piece of bread; half eaten and it looks like it's about to spoil. She gnawed the bread until it's last bite, Diana never felt so bliss. She continued walking to nowhere.
Zeus woke up sweaty and his heart pounding; he had a nightmare where he was being eaten by a hoard of demons. He slowly got out of his bed and head towards the bathroom to wash his face on the sink. Suddenly Zeus hears a knock on the door. "Who is it?" Zeus asked "It's Sebastian Your Highness" Sebastian replied. Zeus opened the door. "Come on in" Zeus says "Do you have anything important to say Sebastian?" He added "Yes your Highness. The Princess from the neighboring country along with his Father, King Asmodious is here Your Highness" Sebastian replies "What is their business here Sebastian?" Zeus asked Sebastian and He replies "Your Father, King Dmitri called me to only summon you Your Highness"," I guess ill find it out by myself. Thank you, Sebastian,".
He walks towards the Throne Room where he finds his Father and King Asmodious talking to each other. They seemed to be enjoying their time together, after all they seldomly talk to each other. Zeus walks towards them and greeted them by bowing with one of his knees kissing the floor. "Ah, Zeus! It's nice seeing you!" King Asmodious says while hugging Zeus "It's Nice seeing you as well King Asmodious" Zeus strugglingly replied. "Very well, I'm going to talk to your Father and arrange the wedding for you and my daughter!" King Asmodious said in a proud manner. Zeus is shocked because he never fantasized the thought of getting married to anyone. As the two kings talked to each other Princess Propetouia puts her hand to Zeus's shoulder and says "I know it's a lot to take in. I don't like the idea of getting married either". Now Zeus is confused and doesn't know what to do.
Meanwhile Diana has been walking nonstop to scavenge for any food that she could find. She usually asks for leftover food at Taverns, Bakery, and even Houses. They generally close their doors in front of her or declines but rarely does she find good hearted people who gives her leftover food. After a long day walking and begging for food. Exhausted, she sat down in front of a Boutique shop. The owner suddenly came out of the shop trying to persuade passersby to purchase clothes but he instead looks at Diana out of pity and invites her in. Diana looked at the owner, Confused. Because no one has ever invited her into their homes. She hesitantly accepted the offer.
Diana is greeted with wonderful dresses. Some are full with subtle designs, some are simple, some looks luxurious. She caressed one of the dress and she's amazed of how pleasant the fabric is; It's breathable and maneuverable. "Amazing right? I too am shocked that no one buys these masterpieces that I made", The Tailor said "Can you do me a favor and try one of these? After you take a bath of course" He added. Diana looked for the bathroom and she took a quick bath. After taking a bath she doubted the kindness of the Tailor, her heart is filled with uncertainty, that he needs something in return. So, after putting the dress on she asked the Tailor what does he need in return? After asking the Tailor is shocked at the Beauty of Diana is possessing; Lips like a rose, Eyes are sparkling, and her hair is bouncy, smooth and silky. The Tailor is astonished, as he never saw a face like hers before. The Tailor replied "Nothing" He smirked "I just need a Goddess like you to exhibit my masterwork to the public!" He added.
"Well, I would like to- "Diana is interrupted by the melodious ringing of the chimes coming from the doorstep. Princess Propetouia comes in. "PRINCESS PROPE- I MEAN YOUR HIGHNESS" The Tailor said shockingly. He immediately fixed himself and bows down in front of Princess Propetouia to show his respect. While Diana is confused her body immediately imitated the Tailor out of shock.
