The pressure bestowed unto Clarke was almost suffocating. It hadn't been what she wanted. In fact, it was the last thing, this mess of a tragedy, she wanted to occur. To dig a hole so very deep into her soul. The memories and moments and glances and touches were slowly excavating her heart out. She didn't want this. She could not and would not accept this pain.

Clarke, goddess of the skies was known for her diligence. Her rigorous drive to fix everything. Many of the other gods respected and thought very highly of her. Reasonably it was something to be applauded for but Eliza didn't think very much of it. The goddess of the skies didn't ask to be in power. In fact, she wished deeply to live a normal human life. But the other gods thought otherwise. They sought her out believing her to be best fit to protect mankind. The gods saw something in Eliza the day she was born.

Not only did the gods and worshipers on Earth admire her dauntlessness and heroism but she was very much praised for her beauty. Her blonde hair cascaded down to her shoulders elegantly. Her blue eyes resembled that of the skies.  Her angelic like poise inevitably could not go unnoticed.  Celestial she was in the physical notions of her existence. Most beings were much too blinded by the concept of aesthetics to delve further into the depths of her mind though. Little did they know, Clarke was abundantly more complex than you could ever imagine. She dreamed of a life of selfishness. A life where she would owe nothing to the gods or to the reservation of humankind. She longed to be free, to find serenity in the peaceful joy of living, to one day find love. When would she be allowed pure happiness? She so often wondered.

One day, Clarke had decided that she could no longer stay up in the heavens and live her life like this. Her curiosity to live a life like the humans was becoming exceedingly too much to bear. She so desperately wanted to know what it was like. And so, she decided to disguise herself as a human like figure, a bit less angelic, and go down to Earth to live the life curiosity had driven her to.
