the goddess and the girl

1

why don't they love me?

she had lost her hope.

the one thing she was said to bring.

Noara.

Her name.

The city was declining.

The angels gathered in groups, 

Venom dripped from their pink lips.

It's her.

She ran.

Just as she always did.

She ran from the clouds, 

Away from the gods and goddesses she would never amount to.

Away from the angels that only caused her pain.

the city seemed ethereal.

Painted gold by the sunlight.

She grew to hate it.

The sun.

A sign of the gods.

She ran to the forest.

The trees blocked the shimmer of light.

Leaving the soft grass spotted with light in some places, dark in others.

She could always hide here.

A black snake slithered to her.

Taking the form of a cat, it sat in her lap and began to purr.

Aesis.

She was bonded to her.

The cat began to rise and walk.

It turned.

Follow me.
