GODDESS OF WAR

Chapter 1

"Since Medusa was the only one of the three Gorgons who was mortal, Perseus was able to slay her while looking at the reflection from the mirrored shield he received from Athena. During that time, Medusa was pregnant by Poseidon.." I heard the whole class gasped. Except for me. I'm not even surprised that these people didn't know this.

So I just sighed and continued spinning the pen on my fingers. "So the baby died? After Perseus beheaded her Ma'am?" I heard one of my classmates ask.

Stupid. I whispered in my mind. "No." The professor said with a smile on her face. I heard the murmurs and laughter of my classmates. Which made me roll my eyes. Seriously? They're laughing at their stupidity?

My professor was bombarded by questions. "What?." "So does that mean that her baby is alive?. I'm sure it's a baby snake." But she was just smiling like an idiot there.

I'm getting impatient. So I decided to raise my hand. Slowly the murmuring slowly subsided. "Yes Miss..." Our professor said as I caught her attention. I slowly stood up from my seat. They fell silent. I can feel all the stares at me.

I laughed in my mind. Of course, I always got the attention of many. No one can resist this beauty.

"When Perseus cut off Medusa's head, her two children sprang out of her severed neck. Pegasus and Chrysaor. Pegasus took the form of a winged horse, while Chrysaor had the form of a golden giant" I said then sat again. I crossed my legs and leaned my back on the chair. Then I heard their murmurs again.

Wow she's really smart..
So full of herself..
Why is she so perfect?...
I wish I was beautiful and smart too..

I smirked. Beauty and brain is still useless if you're weak my dear. I whispered in my mind.

"She's a monster how come she gave birth to a beautiful pegasus?" I heard my seatmate asked. The room was filled with laughter again. I laughed softly and slowly turned to face her.

"I thought you were that smart. You didn't know that Poseidon is also associated with horses?..." I calmly said. Though deep inside me. I want to throw a punch on her face.

"Oh sorry. I forgot that she was being punished because of her affair with Poseidon. She deserves it anyway.. She's a disgusting slut." She said smirked on her face. The whole class went silent because of the tension between the two of us.

I laughed softly. "Athena turned her into a monster for her own pride. She was jealous of Medusa's beauty and lustrous hair.." I saw how she clenched her jaw.

She's trying to hide the annoyance in her expression. But I can clearly see it. Her eyes are easy to read. "No, she's not. Medusa is a whore. She seduced Poseidon." She defensively said. Of course, you will defend her.

"Oh really? They never had an affair. Poseidon raped her.." I said. Then the whole class gasped. I saw how embarrassed she was. Yeah. Thats right. Shut you fucking mouth.

I smiled sweetly at her. I saw how she clenched her jaw. "What?! Poseidon raped Medusa? Ma'am you didnt tell us that part." One of my stupid classmates complained. "That's because-----" before our professor was able to finish her talk I cut her off.

"That's why you guys had to read other books, and research. Never rely on our professors. Whatever they teach us, it was all from their point of view and their own understanding.  There's always two sides in every story." I said without taking my eyes off of this woman who is glaring at me.

I heard our professor cleared her throat to break the tension. "That's enough.." I winked at this woman before I averted my gaze from her.

That woman, Cassandra Aria Vuego - Athena's daughter. The Goddess of wisdom. The one who punished my mother.

And Medussa. The snake head woman. My mother.
After Perseus killed her, he flew away using the winged shoes of Hermes. He didn't know that I also sprang out. They forgot that Medussa was a mortal before she was being cursed.

And I'm one of Medussa's offspring.
I am Revy Amara Marin.
And the only thing that I want is revenge.
