      Gathering the books, Aphrodite went to her room and placed the box on her reading table.  She began to glance through the book on gods. She got paper, ink, and a feather and began to write some features of gods of life at, a point she got tired and just then a page of light opened and she heard a voice speaking from the book.
            '~in life we have to live by love. love is an element that guards all other elements and every realm because for Life to come there has to be a stage of lovemaking. love is everything, princess.'~
     Then the book closed, she tried opening it again but all her efforts failed. Then she opened the next book on the goddess, once again she searched for the goddess of wisdom but the only word that was on that page was 'philosophy' She got frustrated and blurted out "philosophy' and then the voice again.
               '~yes philosophy. Well, all I can tell you princess philosophy means we 'love of wisdom' but the rest my lady is up to you to acquire more knowledge. I am always at your service princess.~'
         And again the book closed, but this time she didn't bother opening the book again.  From all, she heard the only keyword was 'love'. wait that means she is the goddess of love? she got angry and began to throw all the books on the floor and every other thing on the table. she broke some glasses.
       "After all these years, all I get to be is the goddess of love. No wonder no one ever bothered telling me because I am not as special as others. I am just  useless ." Aphrodite broke down and began to cry. A lot of things came through her mind, she even wanted to end her life because a weak goddess is as good as a powerless being. Later she got tired and weak and eventually fell asleep.
      The next morning when she woke up, she felt her headache from all the stress last night. Her maid came into her room to shower her and they also brought her breakfast to bed. She told them to go away and also take a meal with them because she needed some time alone but they didn't listen to her instead they left the food and left her room.
     When she could finally get up, she got ready for the day but she didn't have an appetite so she only took an apple and went to the garden where her aunty was waiting for her she didn't even greet her aunty. "So what's so special about me if all I get is a boobook telling me I am a goddess of love or wait I see I am the only royal family who is a powerless being. Just wonderful" Before she could even continue talking her aunty interrupted        
      " That's enough Aphrodite. Do you think you are not special being a goddess of love is something that words alone cannot explain . For years now there has been no goddess of love". breaking down into tears her auntie said "Come and sit down over here". After she took her to sit on the white swing. Her aunt took a deep breath and began to remember.
      "The gods and goddesses of love were the most beautiful and fantastic things that ever lived.   Everything about them was perfect but some things are too perfect or too good to be real but one day everything changed as well we all know.
    A day came when something so good, pure, and wonderful changed into an unexpected event,h en the most powerful god of love 'Eros' got so obsessed about someone and used his powerful evil ." Tears began to drop from her eyes. He seduced someone and he made love to her, but what he didn't understand was that the combination of their powers would bring nothing but endless suffering.
      Ever since the king your father got to know, he got furious, and the other kingdoms who hated love got to know they all decided to have a conference meeting where they all agreed to eliminate every power of Love. But your father didn't realize he had made the worst mistake. His decision had been the reason why lovemaking was no longer a thing of feeling, rather it is now a thing of creating powers either good or bad."
     "But now all that's gone change"
