the goddess of earth

Daliah's p.o.v

A month has passed since my 18th birthday and I am still no closer to discovering my mate. The only reason I was excited for turning 18 was to finally find my special someone and leave this life behind . Someone who wouldn't throw stones at me , make fun of me for my half-witch , or someone who could save me . Mainly from myself; when I'm usually alone ,I begin to overthink everything : the future , my father, the people of my pack that I once consider my friends,and what ifs.
What if my mate rejects me ,what if he hates me ,what if I never find my mate?

I just want to leave this place. I've been going on dad's beer runs every other day,but never once have I run into someone special.Maybe he's not from my pack. Will he be trying to find me? I've just arrived from Joe's pub with dad's vodka and a pack of cigarettes for myself, and on my way home I bumped into Deven Ezekiel,the beta of our pack. Me and dad are gammas and he leaves for work every morning to train the pack members .I leave with him to train myself. I have to train longer, harder because if I'm to become one of the next strongest warriors of the Crescent Moon pack, I'll learn from the best. I see Deven at the training sessions very often and he's one of the few people who are kind to me . He greeted me and asked of my next soap delivery to Sally's mart. I do fun activities often,but I only make soap once a month ,and that in a large supply to sell to Sally who then sells it to others. I told him I'll make it earlier this month,but I think I'm gonna stick to my schedule.

I came home and dropped myself on my mattress with a huff of exhaustion. My hair stuck to my forehead, body limp ,eyes fluttering to a shut ,while my brain continues to wander. I like to imagine stories or funny situations to make myself laugh. I create character's,with happy backgrounds or worlds different than ours, more peaceful and poetic.

Before falling asleep every night I pray to all the goddess and gods and thank them . I begin with the gods on earth who restore balance and end with the moon goddess, the one who created the gods of earth and mortals such as myself.

There are 11 gods on earth.
There is Artemis: the goddess of hunt. We pray to her before leaving for hunting and in return she blesses our pack with ample prey.
Jarvis:the god of weather. We pray to him before harvest and after cultivation for fine crops.
Zakria: god of fire & Selene : goddess of wind, the both help during battles or wars to protect the people.
Aglaia: goddess of the dragons ,that wander in the mountains above the Clouds and under the seas.
Musa : the god of the sea. He brings great waves upon those who trespass , steal , or deceit others or their own packs when traveling by sea.
Hypatia: the goddess of the mountains. Tyce :the god of the desert.
Hera : goddess of protection. She protect those who pray to her and seek protection.
Hecate: the goddess I am currently praying to every night. She is the goddess of mates . She assigns people mates and insures they meet.

And then we have the story of the two god that crossed necks in battle only to cause the distruction of their people and kingdoms. The goddess Thalia is the goddess of all that's living on earth. She is the goddess of all Earthly gods. She has the power to create and destroy at will, she has earth and water in her palms and could grow worlds and kingdoms at will. She grew empathy in the her heart of those who were evil. She made kingdoms stronger and closer to one another. She created peace between the gods , created peace in between gods and their people, but she could not create peace in the heart of one.

Enoch,the god of death. He envied Thalia's power, her supporters . He wanted her strength and authority,to rule over the gods of earth. So he challenged Thalia; murdered her family ,took away her creations and made them lifeless bodies with no face ,no soul ,but left behind a heart so shattered that only Thalia or her next of kin could repair it. He left her kingdom broken and defenseless .Before Thalia's demise she swore that her datughter will rise and make him pay for his doings , and once again take the throne. Enoch just laughed it off. But I truly believe that her next of kin will rise soon and create peace in our worlds again.

It is said that the world has been a different place since she's left,it's been more cruel and less understanding. It's been about four hundred years since ,I pray she'll be arriving soon.

Tonight, with my tired self I pray only for Hecate and Thalia. I pray I'll find my mate soon , and thank the moon goddess for my existence. I shut my eyes and try to sleep, but my mind keeps wandering. I try again, and again, but I could not sleep.

I yanked off the sheets from my body and grabbed the matches from my bedside drawer to light a candle. I then took the candle an sat at my study table and began to sketch. Tonight I was in the mood for something different. Rather than flowers ,rivers ,or mountains, I was consumed by the idea of my mate . What would he be doing now?

I began to sketch without a thought and ended with an image of a man . A boyish man , with soft curls ,the softest smile,and beautiful lucid eyes .'They would be green' I imagined. I imagined him having a big heart,being confused most of the time ,perhaps disliking the dark or being in love with the trees as I am . Or maybe he could be more of an animal lover .He would have an innocent heart, from the cruelty of today's world. He would protect the people he loves and never leave their sides.I turned to another page, then another, and before I knew it I had tens of pages filled with the man boy.

I continued drawing until sleep took over me and I tiredly dragged my body ,left hand holding the half melted candle ,to the bed when I blew out the candle and stumbled to dreamland. My dreams consisted of the man boy knowing that he's just a figment of my imagination and does not exist, yet my heart couldn't help but to believe he's out there somewhere.
