I woke up in the middle of a meadow, the flowers were blooming and I can smell the scent of spring. I really loved this season!

my thoughts were interrupted when I heard a laughter. I walked to where it came from and saw three beautiful maidens bathing in the river. 

The maidens were laughing and splashing water to each other, they look like a painting. I stepped forward and spoke "Hey... umm... I think I'm lost" But they completely ignored me.  How rude.  I walked closer to them and stood beside the black-haired maiden "Hey!" I spoke to her but she ignored me. 

"HEY!" I screamed but they can't seem to hear me, I tried to touch her but my hands just went through her! I grasped,  Am I ghost? I tried to touch her again and it's still the same result. Oh... what's going on? I panicked then I suddenly remembered Pasithea.

Am I in a dream? Is that means they cannot see me since I am the one dreaming this? I walked around them, they seemed happy. "OH!" The black-haired woman looked at my direction and exclaimed!  Can she see me now?!"What are you nymphs doing?" 

A sultry voice came from behind me, I know that voice I've heard it before. I turned to face who was the owner of the voice and it was Morpheus!

He jumped beside me and placed his hands on his hips "How wonderful to see so many beauties in one day!"

"Go away, Morpheus!" The red-haired nymph said as she gathered her garments and covered herself. 

 Real sleek Morpheus, I thought. I never knew Morpheus was a pervert before! 

"Oh, come on don't hide yourselves nymphs!"

"You are so rude Morpheus!" The blonde nymph said. 

"What are you nymphs doing here anyway... these lands belong to the Master"

"We wanted to see him..." The blonde nymph giggled.  What a whore!  If I could touch her I will drag her hair into the bottom of the river! oh hey! What am I saying? Am I getting jealous? I shook my head of the thought.

"You nymphs never tire on watching the Master all day?" Morpheus said. 

The red-haired nymph took a step forward "Of course not! He is the golden son of Zeus!"

"A worthy bachelor!" The black-haired nymph spoke. Then the three nymphs laughed and giggled. Even in ancient times, there are plenty of whores. I clicked my tongue and walked closer to Morpheus.

"Hey, Morpheus!" I screamed but he too, cannot hear not see me. "Hey!" I waved my hand at his face but still, it didn't work.

The nymphs gave a sudden gasped and quickly gathered their remaining garments and flee. "Hey, where are you beauties going?" 

"...And what are you doing here, Morpheus" 

Morpheus and I looked at the gentle voice behind us. She is wearing a golden garment and a serpent belt wrapped around her tiny waist. Her skin is pearly white with a hint of blush on it,  her hair is long and wavy chestnut curls. 

"Cyrene, what are you doing here... spoiling my fun" 

"Those nymphs are playing innocent but I know they are trying to seduce Apollo"

"I bet... every one seduces him"

"Not me..."

Morpheus snickered and walked away from her "Oh! I bet..." He said. 

Morpheus! wait for me!  I ran towards him but I was intrigued about Cyrene. So she was Apollo's consort before. Well...ex-girlfriend as he says.
