Live life blissfully once enemies are defeated and monsters slew, if only this were true. Victory was upon my throne and glory was imposed upon my head in the form of a crown yet the snakes of nemesis still reincarnate itself upon those labelled 'honest allies' that fought the 'Great Reclaim' are now defending the 'Great Demise' of my power, of course, it would be understandable for me to be paranoid constantly. Anyone, anything that is not I would do anything to sit on this chair inside this palace of wealth. 

Twist and shifted its form to the human nature he was, what do you say, he is more of a beast in this form than when we met. What lies, what fortunate dreams quickly unleashing its horrible nightmare, this creature that speaks of love is nothing but a deceitful liar embracing his wealth and his rich physique. Oh, he so much adores it, completely enamoured by it that he doesn't even blink an eye when I, his Beauty renowned owner of the town's hearts, yet he is completely blind within his world. Like a hypnotised magician, the way he controlled my heart now he bewitched his sane and controls his mind. Like Medusa herself, her child is slowly withering towards his destruction. 

'Bubble, triple, trouble' howled the witch while boiling my voice the source of my identity while I foam and die, a death of sweet escape from misery and disappointment. No not from my part but from his, if love did so exist and connect souls with red strings, as they say, shouldn't my lover recognise this invisible connection, as my voice is entrapped temporarily. Yes, I understand if he married the girl out of love but he explains how she saved him and sang for him which is what gave him the connection, what the Neptunes world is that ideology from, I saved him and for a glimpse of a moment, my identity was revealed, my features, the red hair and fins, how do you miss that? Anyway, I am off now and since my dad is Poseidon I have another shot at life, his is a 'god' in context so he has some powers and professional connection, so he can rescue me. Trust me, I have learnt my lesson, the past would not repeat in my presence.

Yippey, I turned to a boy and human life to live. But my thoughts function like the deceiver I was and rather disturbed in some moments. Once father, had sent me to hunt for food or in my lens feed thy hunger or destruction may prevail. life seemed easier as a wooden figure with no heart because now whenever I shot an animal, I feel 'pity' and something known as 'remorse'. People think I am now human, if only they knew, although I feel these emotions, my mental functioning speaks informing me of blocking those human feeling. So, technically speaking no happy ever after, after all. I am still that wooden Pinocchio numb with empty thoughts.

I thought they would refine my existence but now that everyone adores what they see on me, no conflicts, therefore, no questions and so I became a useless piece of glass with only a purpose of reflection rather than answering questions-like a wise creature who manipulated their thoughts-. Now that I remember her, she was just hideous inside and out but that young girl was worse to be sure. Although innocent and sweet she was, you know she hides secrets unknown to the world but me. shh, here she come, 'how may I help mi'lady?' 'would you reveal the creature that desires for the throne and how I may receive their gold' 'yes, of course. Here are the golden jewels and pearls' 'thank you, now you may recede to your chambers'. Exactly my thoughts reader 'what the heck is wrong with this woman what does she mean by 'your chambers'?' I am a blasting mirror stuck here with no framing limbs how am I supposed to blooming have a 'chamber'? What a madwoman!

Talking about Medusa, hi there, my soul passed down to the underworld, I am pals with Hades -to be fair he is actually quite a cool guy- and met his beloved Persephone, and was she a beauty! Their story is beautiful, unlike mine. I know my story is unfair but when I lost control of life, I basically became a serial killer who literally froze your soul to death. And yeah, it's unfair for me to be here after all of that but do you expect me to be up there with all of the conflicts we have between the family, never will I ever set a foot up there. So I guess this is a happy ending for me at least but for those creatures that betrayed, violate or provoke me, Hades gave me the honour of torturing them day and night. Night, Night...
