"Honestly it was all for you", Psyche said, as she was staring out into the horizon, sitting on rock, over looking the ocean. She began to reminisce about all her accomplishments in her life and what brought her here. And who pushed her. It was the thought of Eros that gave her success.
He was the voice in her head telling her what to do and always motivating her.
She wanted him to return, but for real.
She started to become teary, but wiped her tear away. She was a strong soul. So she kneeled down comfortably on her knees on the rock and looked up at the sky.
She began to manifest Eros to reappear in her life and envision him in her mind. She envisioned them together as husband and wife living in paradise together. She sees a white castle in the air.
Very soon after a Goddess appeared in front of her. It amazed Psyche.
"Who are you?"
"I am Gooddess Aphrodite. I have come here to answer your wishes and guide you to your long lost love, Eros. It will take a lot of hard work but you will reunite with your love again, and your fantasies will become a reality."
"Yes, what must I do to see him again, my Goddess?"
"You must be my servant for the time being, and work for me. Then your love will return. He will see your worth and how much of a hard worker you are."
"Ok," she says agreeing, with hope in her eyes, and a smile on her face.
Whilst Psyche was waiting on Aphrodite, she worked hard so her fulfilment of being with Eros could come true. She felt him so near. She was very happy and jolly whilst working for Aphrodite.
Psyche served Aphrodite food and beverages, curled her hair and applied her makeup. It had already been 7 months and Eros had been working for Aphrodite and still no Eros in her life. There were other girls working for Aphrodite. Seven to be precise including Eros. Aphrodite had a liking for Eros. She favoured her.
And some of the other girls didn't Eros. They found her too kind, too petlike and too obedient. They began to bully Eros. The noise and the bullying was messing with Eros' positiveness and ability to manifest her love back into her life.
Psyche thought of Eros and envisioned him again.
She approached Aphrodite and told her the news.
"Aphrodite, I can't stay here anymore. The bullying is too much. It's not allowing me to grow and reach my true purpose."
"Who's bullying you? I will release them from my castle in the air."
Then Eros realised she was living a fantasy but not a true fantasy. She heard Eros voice in her head as if he was in a different dimension. So she set out to find him.
"I have to go now."
Eros followed the voice in her head. He told her, "Follow me in this direction, towards the cave down the stairs." It was Eros voice. She set out towards the Underworld where Hades lived.
Psyche had to give up the fantasy world of living with Aphrodite and get down to the underworld to meet Hades. There, her destiny will await her.
Psyche was walking down the cave steps towards the underworld, and she followed the light and the voice in her head, "Keep going." It said in a calming feminine yet masculine tone. It was Eros guiding her to wherever she needed to go.
"What is my task?" She asked him.
"I do not know." He answered. "Ask Hades."
"Where are you Eros?"
"I'm not far. Just do the task and we will reunite."
So, Psyche continued towards her path to the Underworld, until she reached the River Styx. There sat a zombie skeleton in a boat.
"Sit in the boat." Said the voice of Eros.
Psyche obeyed and sat in the boat, even though she was afraid. She pretended Eros was with her the whole time and took big breaths of fresh air in and out of her nose.
"Ssh, don't worry, just relax. It's going to be ok."
The skeleton was rowing the boat and Psyche sat relaxed just watching him. She wasn't afraid anymore.
They finally arrived to the other side of the river where Hades palace was. Psyche walked up to it and entered through the doors. There Hades was sitting on his throne next to his three headed guard dog. He was just staring. Not saying anything. His eyes were cold and gleaming.
"It's ok, approach him." Said the voice of Eros."
"I'm afraid." she said.
"I'll go inside your body and take over."
Eros took over Psyches body and she submissed. It was now Eros approaching Hades.
"What may you be requiring today young beautiful lady."
Eros smiled so confidently. He knew he was being held hostage in the underworld.
"I want to reunite with my love. I want us to be released from the underworld and to go back to heaven in the white castles in the air."
Hades just stared. "And who is your love you speak of? Who are you?"
Eros spoke, in Psyches voice, my love is Eros. I am Psyche."
"Psyche, you are very beautiful. You can be very useful here. Can you sing? I am requiring a beautiful singer and dancer to sing for me daily. and dance for me. You will be admired. And given anything you want."
At that moment Eros left Psyches body. He couldn't answer the question. Psyche was left there to answer his question and to take his offer and temptation.
"Anything I want?" she asked.
"Yes."
"All I want is Eros."
"Sing and dance for me for one year, and I will give you Eros. You will see him again. In the mean time enjoy your time as my servant in the Underworld.
