Chapter Five- Queen Of Companionship Is No Motherly Love Pt. 1

Queen Hera above portrayed by Kourtney Kardashian! Chapter is called - Queen Of Companionship Is No Motherly Love - Thank you for checking out this novella. 

Mountain Olympus is beautiful. That I have realized during my strolls. The seamstresses are creating new gowns and sandals for the both of us. Mother has been hesitant to let either of us to take a single glance at the masterpieces.Each day that I stroll the gardens of the Pantheon, the more my anticipation rise. This place is a gem embedded in gold. Heaven in the skies.

Each garden has a new selection of pretty flowers and different fountains. Stone benches. Golden pavements and silver railings.

Still, no one speaks to me; I am alone and deeply concern about my well being here. There are hidden nymphs as well as our nymphs on Earth to serve mother and I. More mother as she tends to mend herself every so often. Her appearance within the great Pantheon must be perfect: sun-kissed skin; on fleek makeup and acne treatment. Wavy hair and shiny jewelry on any bare spots of flesh.

Well, here, I a more nymph than goddess it seems. Child like gowns and hammy downs from mother's trash. Apparently, one man's trash is another's treasure in this case. I do partake in choir; therefore I must stroll in order to pass the time. Each day is in solitude since mother's partaking in the council is mandatory.

From the corner of my ocean-like-eyes, I begin to notice a figure in the gardens. Another goddess it seems. She's in a royal blue chitin and an aquamarine peplos. Her hair is neatly braided to her waist. An ebony head of hair.

Slowly I sneak towards her. My chest beating faster and faster with every step I take. It has been a long time since I made contact with anyone besides mother and her nymphs. There's a little tension between my thoughts and actions. My head is telling me to greet the woman, however, my body wants to shut down completely. It's hard deciding on my next move. 

She bobs her head facing the sky for a moment before taking a glance towards the middle fountain. Once her eyes are set on the fountains, she switches her narrowing gaze my way. From a frustrated glare, to a glare of envy, she eyes me up. Then the goddess stares for a moment at my facial features trying to figure out my oddities.   

Smiling to impress I decide that it is the best option to greet her kindly. My legs are trembling as I sway my way towards her. She notices my fancy strut and gives me a simple wink before standing up. The motion she does is slow, as if she has aged a bit. Although she looks just as young as mother.   

Not even facing me yet she begins to speak with a high risen voice. A tone of royalty to be exact. "Kore, you have returned to the Pantheon of the Olympians. Have you not for the occasion of a brother's birth?" Her gaze has me stumbling for a bit in embarrassment. This is no ordinary goddesses. This is Hera the Queen.

Taking a deep breath, I continue to sway towards the Queen. Trying to not break character seems harder than ever. My cheeks blush as I fiddle my hands with great anxiety. "Yes Queen I have come for the occasion I believe. Mother's not contented as usual with such an occasion".

"Of course she isn't". She gives me another wink and stretches out her arms for a moment. "So am I."

Reaching out her hand, I gently grab a hold. She starts to sway herself in the same pace as I. We start heading out of the gardens and into a private villa of hers. Gold. Gold. And some more gold covering each token she owns.

"You're mother has a sweet daughter, Kore. I do not and therefore I am jealous that she has something that I do not. If I could have snatched you, I would have without a care in the world." She continues with a brief pause. She chuckles to herself in a womanly way. So perfect. Natural.

The queen starts to relax on her bed as a few nymphs starts to tend to her needs. Without any questions or hesitations, the nymphs are pouring her a glass of wine and plopping a few bright green grapes in her mouth. She's eyeing me the whole time. "It's hard Kore to be a Queen. Especially when your husband deserts you. We'll they all do." Her feet stretches out on the bed and she cracks her knuckles without care.

"Queen, why am I in your room?"

"Kore, you are mine as well as your mother's. Please join me on the bed". The queen starts to relax on her bed as a few nymphs starts to tend to her needs. Without any questions or hesitations, the nymphs are pouring her a glass of wine and plopping a few bright green grapes in her mouth. She's eyeing me the whole time. "It's hard Kore to be a Queen. Especially when your husband deserts you. We'll they all do." Her feet stretches out on the bed and she cracks her knuckles without care.

  A few moments passed before she rolls over to face me with lustful eyes. "I can make you a queen just like me."   

"Am I qualified?" 

Whispering to the gale, she chants to herself  "Hera of Rhea and Cronus." Placing her hands around my high cheek bones, I stare into her eyes almost in a daze. "Persephone of Demeter, Hera and Zeus. You can be anything I make of you." 

I gasp. "My name is Persephone." 

"Yes, young princess Persephone the Kore of the Pantheon."  She stars at me wit envy. "I knew my name and title at birth. I was swallowed.  your'e beyond lucky at a mother's side for so long."
