Embracing your Soul -eng- [ COMPLETED ]

3 - goddess

The trip to Olympus was always a hassle, it was far from the Village and the trail is very hard to walk on, but if it was hard for me, it was a basic thing to do for Sammuel who would go here everyday if he was allowed to. However due to the distance and other things to do he really can't do that.

"I've done everything we didn't eat, I hope the gods would be pleased." With a gleeful face he looked up at the remaining trail we were expected to take. The trail was starting to get steep.

I looked up to the clouds enveloping the mountain top, expecting the gods feasting there. I never did liked going here, but Sammuel always liked going here. He admired the gods, and always praise them, worship them and lean on them.

But none of the gods barely gives him a single glance. Well at least they do sometimes, they give him merits for being a good follower and worshipper, it's Athena mostly, the goddess of wisdom, he somehow favors Sammuel for being clever and fast witted.

"We're here! Let's set up a camp." Then I sent him a questioning glance, we never really stayed over night. The night is always a dangerous field for the mortals, there could be monsters for all we know.

"It is not safe to camp out, the woods could be a dangerous territory." I calmly spoke to get him change his mind, but that seems to be an impossible task as to see him already setting his fire.

"You've never camped out before Sammuel, how could you not be nervous about what you're doing?" I said in disbelief as I watch him lit a fire within seconds after trying to spark a fire with two rocks for the first time, Sammuel is a natural talent.

He's fast to pick up on everything and anything he sets his eyes on. He's a really good kid, and a smart one.

"I promised your Mom to be back before she gets worried, let us just go after a while. We don't need to camp out." I crossed my arms leaving no discussions.

"B-But... Fine." His gaze lowered as if in a slump of emotions, he's still a child after all. I gently pat his bush for a hair, and stroked it.

"We're going to visit often, but just no camping out. It is not safe to camp out, for mortals." I looked around to see nothing but greens, a wide stretch of green, rich with tall proud.

"Do you want to see some flowers, I think I know a place. Don't move from here ok?" Hydrangeas, it has always been Sammuel's favorite, it calms him every time.

He nod at me and I carried on to a place he could not see. I placed my hands on the grassy land, and not even a second later a plant started to grow, and a beautiful flower arose.

I smiled at what masterpiece it is. The beauty of plants could never compare to anything else in this world.

"Hadi!" A loud scream alerted all my senses and got me running back to where I left Sammuel, the urgency in his voice made my heart jump, this must be worry, the worry that every mortal feels from time to time, the kind of worry that emanates from them when they feel danger or something bad to happen to someone or to them.

And I fear, I feel the worry for Sammuel.

As I get closer to the brush I left him from, I picked up with the feel of the surroundings, the leaves, the weeds, the trees, the roots, they're telling me that everything is fine, whispering that Sammuel is there sitting perfectly fine on the exact place that I left him on.

"H-Hadi... a- a... i-it's a-a.. a god. A GOD!" He stared at me in amazement at the marvelous thing infront of him. And there stood my mother. The Goddess of Spring, and he's in Olympus right now because of the agreement my Uncle Zeus made for the sake of my Grandmother Demeter, the Goddess of harvest.
