His expression shifted, a storm of emotions flickering across his face. "Cassia... how long have you been planning this?" "Years," she admitted, her voice breaking. "Ever since Lydia passed, it's been harder and harder to stay. I love this village, I love everyone here-you most of all-but it feels like... like I'm suffocating." He stepped closer, his jaw tight. "So, that's it? You're just leaving? For how long?" She looked down, her fingers twisting the hem of her tunic. "I don't know. Maybe I'll come back, but not for a long time. I can't promise anything." Lucius's silence was louder than any words. She could see the hurt in his eyes, the way he clenched his fists as if trying to hold himself together. Finally, he spoke, his voice quieter than she'd ever heard it. "You don't want to leave, Cassia. Not really. You want to escape. There's a difference." "I know that," she snapped, her voice sharper than she intended. "But it doesn't change the fact that I need to go. I need to figure out who I am outside of this place." Lucius turned away, running a hand through his hair. "And what about us? What about everyone here who depends on you?" "I'm not abandoning anyone," she said, stepping closer. "Finn is stronger than he looks. Brutus and the others-this village is their home now, too. They'll protect it. And you... you don't need me, Lucius. You're strong enough without me." He turned back to her, his eyes blazing. "That's not the point, Cassia. It's not about needing you. It's about..." He trailed off, his voice catching.

This story began with a simple question: What if a modern-day teenager were suddenly thrust into the heart of the Greek pantheon, not as a hero or a chosen one, but as a new goddess, the very embodiment of creation? The image of a seventeen-year-old, overwhelmed by the intense affections of immortal beings - Zeus's wariness, Hera's possessive jealousy, Aphrodite's obsessive infatuation - sparked a story that explored not only the fantastical elements of mythology but also the complex and often unsettling dynamics of love, power, and self-discovery. Writing this book has been a journey into the darker, more nuanced aspects of relationships, and I hope I have captured the intensity of those emotions without sacrificing the core elements of romance and hope. The yandere trope provided a unique lens through which to explore the overwhelming nature of divine power and the complicated ways in which love can manifest. It was a challenge to portray these intense emotions with both sensitivity and intrigue, ensuring that the story remains engaging and relatable, even as it ventures into darker territory. The balance between the fantastical setting of Mount Olympus and Elara's very relatable struggles and emotional experiences was carefully considered. I strived to create a world that felt both ancient and modern, blending the rich tapestry of Greek mythology with the contemporary voice of a young adult protagonist. I hope this blend creates a unique and memorable reading experience. The story is a testament to the power of acceptance, self-discovery and the ability to find balance even amidst chaos and overwhelming affection.
