The Adventures of Perseus Book 1 The Titan's Curse

Chapter 3

The woman with leopards tail started to leave her palace as she looked around  her at the small looking island that carried the palace through the sky. She sighed in her heart remembering the memories she had in this palace.

Raising her hands the women moved her hand as if shes tearing spaces itself. A tear appeared in the middle of space .She stepped through the tear and slowly the tear went to normal.

On the other side was a city that was bright with palaces on both sides.if you were to enter this city would have stayed staring at the building and lights. But now the city had a gloomy feel even with all the lights you'd see the darkness of death everywhere. 

The woman looked around the city. The city that once was brimming with activity of beautiful women and handsome men going around with their business. 

The woman shook her head slightly with frowen getting rid of those memories that will never come again. Slowly the woman started to walk in the middle of the golden road that was filled with dust of age. The woman steps that were no more the ten took her a few miles.

 Looking in front of her the woman looked at the palace that was still radiant with a faint glow. A glow that only belonged to the moon a glow that shines every night on earth to light our darkness. 

Slowly the woman stepped into the palace inside, the furniture was simple not too precious but not vauleless. As she reached  a big door that had the decoration of the moon in  every corner. Pushing the door lightly the huge door opened slowly but fully. 

Entering the room the women walked towards the bed. In the huge bed layed a young women with beauty that can shatter controuys and start wars just by her beauty. 

Her beauty was extraordinary even for a immortal. her hair that was dark black  was covering the pillow. Her face was like the moon round and glowing her eyes that were closed had long eyelashes that curved upwards. 

The woman standing had a gently smile slowly moved her hand and brushed a strand of hair from the young lady's face.

 The young lady eyes fluttered open seeing the women she smiled and said "My queen is it time?"

"How many times have i told you that i am not your queen, time has changed from when I was  Xi-wang-mu the queen of the chinese pantheon of gods and goddess"  Xi-wang-mu said with sorrow and bitterness in her voice.

 The young lady smiled "As long as I,Nuwa the mother of human beings live you will be my queen"

Xi-wang-mu sighed knowing that she cant change Nuwas mind. Remembering what she came for Xi-wang-mu frowned felling deep sadness and sorrow. Seeing Xi-wan-mu's expression Nuwa reached to her hand and slightly creasing it. 

"My queen  i have accepted my fate long ago and i want this to happen to me sooner then later i don't need you to be sad" Nuwa said smiling softly. 

Nuwa noticed that Xi-wang-mu still had the frown and concerned look "Is there anything i should know before i leave,My queen" Nuwa said trying to change the topic .

Xi-wang-mu eyes sparkled. She suddenly started with full speed telling Nuwa about the little kid she found and how cute he is.

Nuwa had a faint smile as she heard Xi-wang-mu rapidly talking about the little child. "Maybe he   can be the successor of the Chinese pantheon" Nuwa  said with a serious cutting Xi-wang-mus ramble. Xi-wang-mu had a thoughtful face.

 "But he's too young and we don't have years to wait at most i have to find a successor in a month" Xi-wang-mu said anxiously even though she wished to make the little boy the successor he was still too young. "And the ritual needs to be done on a bloodline of the Chinse pantheon which he doesn't have" Xi-wang-mu resoned.
