Hiiiiii.. Another story again though I still haven't updated my others. Hehehehe. I just came up with some idea and I want to write it not knowing whether I would or I could continue it. This story was born after I wonder why does Athena reincarnate once every 200 years and along with her reincarnation was also the reborn/birth of the man under the constellation of pegasus as well as the repeating war against Hades. Perhaps there is a reason behind that since before Athena became the partron goddess of earth just maybe.. Well that's all.. Thank you!
Prologue
Athena jolted as she felt a sudden spike of a very strong and familiar cosmo and the sudden trembling of the Olympus which made her noticed the slowly wilting greenery scene. Knowing who owns that powerful cosmo, she hurriedly stood up and went down to the mortal world to where she felt it. As she descended to the Earth, what welcomes her is a horrendous scene. The earth shook as the ground slowly fractures and the winds violently sweep off and form tornadoes as it carry everything away from the ground. The oceans and seas rises into tremendous giant waves washing every village together with the series of volcanic eruptions as the raging lava flowed through the rice fields. It was a great disaster ever happened. Roaming around, she finally saw the person she was looking. Right before her eyes was a thousand corpses and amidst of it is a silhouette of the person she knew well kneeling and hugging something on her arms.
"Haha-ue.." She softly called the person who in return look at her sideways revealing her tear stricken face. Upon this gesture, she can now clearly see what's the woman hugging and her breathe stopped and her heart broke as she recognized the familiar ash blonde and deep brown hair of the two males she has known for a long time but she remained strong and passive.
"Athena..." The woman called voice lacing with deep sorrow she had never heard off. "I.. failed to protect them. He... They took them away." She continued as her once firm and strong shoulder trembled. Her figure never once seen in their entire life. The resilient goddess who brings happiness, prosperity and life to the world now became a goddess who only brings catastrophe upon her wake. Now Athena understands why the other gods are wary of her existence, why Zeus, their father favored her so much and as to why her mother never showed other emotions aside joviality, love and kindness. As the goddess of song and life, whenever she felt emotions that contradicts her supremacy, it will cause a big disaster not only to their holy land but also to the mortal world just like what's happening now. She approached the sullen form of her mother careful not to trample the dead bodies. As she already beside her, she was unable to utter a single word of comfort for she had never seen her mother to be this broken. She really did love them but she too, also love them especially him but her mother's love for them was far more greater.
"Haha-ue..." She called her again. "Please stop crying. You know that they don't like it when you are sad much more crying as well as the earth too. As you cry now, the earth also shed tears and now on the verge of dying just like how your heart is. Please remember you are a goddess, mother and it is your duty to protect the land not to destroy it." Upon hearing her daughter's word, she shot her a sad and submissive smile. By on by the quakes on the ground gradually slowing down, the water crawling back to the sea, the tornadoes stop and the darkened skies lit up revealing the glorious sun. And Athena knows that her mother finally ceases to cry.
At Mt. Olympus
Not looking at the crowd around her, she silently walk with her head held high as what she always does. Not taking a single glance even to her sad and worried sisters, she keep walking towards their father's throne. Her usual eyes filled with mirth was now full of determination, will and a little hatred as she caught the sight of the hateful god of the underworld Hades which Zeus didn't go unnoticed when she halted.
"My esteemed daughter born from the goddess of memory, Mnemosyne, you committed such a sin worth of dire punishment yet however such punishment is inapplicable to your being. Therefore, with the power as the great god of all, I strip you of the title Goddess of Song and Life and protector of the earth. From now on you shall be known as the goddess who brings calamity, disaster and misfortune." Zeus voice was resonating through out the place though there is no anger upon it, she knew better and all she could do is to prepare and submit. She knew the sin she had committed aside from almost destroying the human world. There is one more that her sisters even Athena didn't know except for him, Zeus. A sin that will forever mark in the course of destiny, a forbidden sin that will continue to repeat like a cycle all because of her but this time, she didn't care. She will no longer care about it.
"You, my dear Melpomene shall be the Goddess of Tragedy."
