11-I've Been Having A Hard Time Adjusting

Please don't be ghost readers and make some comments  :)

When Theodora stepped out of the cave, the sun was going down. She felt like a different person but, at the same time, she felt like herself.
She started walking, with the shiny stone in her hand and that feeling of power still inside her, to wherever her feet took her. The fates left the island and told her there was a place in the Island where she could sleep, she just needed to trust her instincts.

After half an hour of walking, she found a little lake in the middle of the forest. In the end of the lake, there was a tall meadow with a big Greek Building.

It was of white marble and had six columns on the front, leaving a space in the middle for the giant marble door. On top of the door, in the roof, there was something written in Old Greek.

'Ναός της Θεάς Θεοδώρας' which translates to Temple Of the Goddess Theodora.

Theodora felt her stomach shrink as she walked to it. She still wasn't use to all the Gods things, like temples, weird power things and more.

She climbed the white stairs and took a deep breath before opening the door.

She stepped into a big room with walls, ceiling and floors made of white marble. But what unsettled her the most was the huge statue of her that was in the middle, surrounded by an altar with thousands of extinguished candles. On the side it said: Theodora, Goddess of Creation, Destruction, Supernatural Beings, Protection, Loyalty and Protector of Demigods.

The statue had her long hair on the back, with a crown of leaves with gems on top, and was wearing a Greek dress with leaves on the waist, an armband, accessories on the shoulders that grabbed the dress on one shoulder and a chal on the other. The chal crossed her chest to her right elbow and went through the back to the other elbow.

Theodora headed to a door on her left to get out of that room and inspect the place. She walked to a hallway with three archs next to the door, where there was an open room that lead to a little garden with a fountain, and a door near the end of the hallway.

She walked to the door and walked inside a room with a round table with a lot of chairs and a fireplace. She went back to the hallway and into the garden.

On the other side of the garden there was a big golden door that stood out from the white walls. Inside, there was a huge room with white marble floor, white columns with golden decorations in the end of it and a golden ceiling. At the end of the room, there were stairs that lead to a tall white marble throne with golden details and a blue cushion, behind it there was a huge window with translucent glass.

Theodora gasped at the sight and walked slowly to it.

This was her throne room.

She didn't know when she was going to use it, but she had one. She stood in front of the throne, some voice inside her was telling her to sit down, to taste the feeling of power, but she ignored it and instead looked at it with worry.

She worried she wouldn't be enough to live up to the expectations of the world. She was supposed to be the most powerful goddess in the world and bring peace to all the species, but how is she supposed to do that if she didn't even know what she was capable of?

She took a deep breath and decided that she would work hard. Tomorrow, she was going to stay in the island and practice her powers, she wasn't going to leave this Island until she knew how to use her powers.

Theodora gave her back to the throne, ignoring the intensified voices, and walked out of the room. She walked through the temple until she found a room with a lot of couches and cushions everywhere. She made a bed on the floor with the cushions, ate a sandwich she had in her bag and fell asleep.
