I wanted to give him a lesson !

Part 3 : A feeling you can't understand.

 The second she saw her for the first time, something definitely changed in Galatea's heart.

She didn't know what, in fact, she didn't even know what it was, that she was feeling now.

It was something strange, terrifying and beautiful at the same time.

The person she had just seen was not Hercules, in fact, it was not even a man.

It was a girl, and her name was Cassandra.

And as she saw her, something new and unknown woke up in Galatea.

The beatings of her heart became faster, and she froze in the middle of the room, completely mesmerized by the apparition in front of her.

It was not that Cassandra was particularly attractive or captivating during this evening, in fact, it was even the contrary.

Being forced to endure Icarus' presence, who was succeeding the exploit of being both invasive and annoying, she had a sad look in her eyes, and she seemed to be really bored this evening.

The adolescent was eating without great enthusiasm, trying to ignore Icarus' incoherent and exasperating babbling, and she seemed to be into another world, in which she was not alone and where no one thought she was crazy because of her predictions.

A world where she didn't see the future...

A world where she was not cursed.

But it was just dreams, right ?

And Galatea just couldn't stop looking at Cassandra, for a reason she couldn't understand.

There was something which was attracting her to Cassandra, and the thing is that, when she began moving again, the scene hadn't lasted more than two or three seconds.

The thing she didn't know is that the two goddesses had been witnessing this moment with amazement or consternation.

"Love at first sight... Athena whispered with wonderment."

She was a goddess who was practicing magic, and yet, it didn't mean that this kind of thing was not something extraordinary.

It was not arriving that frequently, so yes, Athena had a lot of reasons for being surprised and happy of the situation.

Unlike Aphrodite, who was devastated by what it was implying.

"Oh no, no, no... she whispered for herself. It can't be happening this way, this was not what I wanted to do..."

Athena frowned.

"What Aphrodite ? What's wrong ?

- Don't you see it ? Galatea just fell in love with Cassandra ! Well, at least, we just saw the beginning of something, but yet, this is what it means.

- Yes, and I saw it, and it was pretty cute... So what ?

- But... this is a catastrophe !

- I just hope it won't turn into an epidemic of catastrophia, Athena tried to joke.

Aphrodite raised a surprised eyebrow.

- What ?

- Hum, I... I tried to make a joke...Athena explained with embarrassment. You know, from the title of... one of the episodes...

- Which one ?

- "Hercules and the Epidemic of Catastrophia".

- It doesn't work there, since this title is the French one, the original title is "Hercules and the Big Lie." So, yes, it really sucked. Why did you do this ?
