In this life, there are days that are better than others. Days where the golden brush of the sun touches your face. Days with the pitter-patter of raindrops hitting the ground and everything around you. These are the days that you look around at everything in your life, and feel at peace. You feel that you belong. You know you belong right here, in this moment of time, as if a perfect puzzle piece finally fell into place after looking for the perfect spot for hours.
Then it hits...
There are days where you feel at your lowest. Days where you can hear the world screaming around you. Nothing but pain and misery every step you take. The sun rises yet it still falls and leaves a world of silence and darkness in your view. Storms grow louder, snow gets colder, the sun gets hotter, everything becoming a thin piece of ice. Every step taken, the ice gets thinner and thinner until soon...
You plumet..
You sink into the icy, pitch-dark water below you. You fight for your life physically, where it's nothing more than just a reaction to survive. While mentally, you just let your fate come to take you with every second you are there below the waters. Some people are not meant to be here while some are. But I've learned it's not my choice on whether I get to be here or not. It's not another's choice as well. Sometimes you just have to grab life by the horns and ride it till you eventually find the thing you were placed on this earth for.
Unless you are me...
*Thunder Clashes*
"There is not enough time. We must find a place to put him before the mortals see us." mutters the stranger as they quickly go through a small village in the middle of the night during a storm.
"Oh hush.. Our biggest problem is when Zeus finds out that we did not rid of him when we were supposed to kill him the moment he was born. Aphrodite is lucky she is beaut-"
The first unknown figure hits the arm of the second one before quickly placing a finger to their lips and shushing the other. They point over their shoulder to show there are village lights on down the street with people outside laughing, dancing, and enjoying themselves in the rain.
"Mortals. I never understood them.." The first unknown figure snarls as they watch the humans dance and laugh during a full-blown storm. " What do we do now? If we don't find a place to put him before the serum wears off, we will be dealing with this...demon."
The second figure looks over at the first figure and sighs heavily. Looking around before noticing a dark alleyway. They lightly wave their hand to get the first figure to follow them and they disappear into the darkness. They make their way across the village without being seen, eventually making their way onto a singular home away from the others. The first figure looks down at the basket they are holding before looking up at the village house, then to the second figure. "This seems remote enough for you?" The second figure looks around before down to the basket and nods. "Aphrodite said to take him to a remote village, not well known and drop him off at a lady's house. This looks like it so it must be it."
