Gorgon Stories

"They say looking into Medusa's eyes will turn you to stone. No one ever wondered what would happen if someone couldn't look at all." After wandering off the forest path, Lyra-a blind young woman-stumbles into the cave of the infamous Gorgon, Medusa. But instead of becoming another stone statue, nothing happens. Medusa's curse requires sight... and Lyra has never seen a thing. What begins as an unexpected encounter blossoms into an unlikely friendship, then something deeper. As Lyra sees the woman behind the monster, Medusa slowly learns that she is worthy of love after centuries of loneliness, betrayal, and heartbreak. Together they'll face the ghosts of the past, confront the gods who failed them, survive illness, danger, and old wounds, and discover that sometimes the person who truly sees you... is the one who never could.

Medusa Through the eyes of the Gorgon is a wonderfully, enchanting albeit haunting portrayal of the extraordinary life of the young girl who grows to become the infamous Medusa. The author takes us on a journey of discovery as the protagonist discovers that she possesses the astonishing gift of sight but also an abundance of compassion and love for humanity that is unmatched by any God. An oracle in all her glory, the author in her adoring portrayal so eloquently and intimately engages with and unravels the infamous Grecian Myth of the great and powerful Medusa. This myth denied Medusa her voice forever condemning her fragmented monstrous form whereas this wonderful story celebrates and gives Medusa back what she had lost for centuries. She lurked in the shadows a shunned outcast, driven to the brink of sanity by Gods, the so-called creators of truth and justice. However, evil has many faces as Medusa unveils the horrid guises of "the righteous" and guides us through the difference between truth and verisimilitude. Condemned to live a half-life in the shadows, her deadly stare forbids any hope of any human contact, she is made to be the repulsive monster that everyone fears they too could become. but her story does not end there. She rewrites history as this so-called "monster" holds a mirror up defiantly to the gods and to us. Medusa is the ultimate iconoclast.

Hadeon assumed his day would start out the same way when he woke up this morning: help his mother in cooking, work out with Agnes, assist with dinner prepping, hang out with the band, complete his assigned schoolwork, go to bed, and repeat. But what he didn't anticipate was that one persistent Tribrid would pull him into the rest of the supernatural world.

A war was waged between humans and gorgons, the humans emerged triumphant, and the gorgon race was completely wiped out- except for a child named Medusa

Narrator: Eidos Amoivais Academy for Magi. A school for young students gifted in the use of magic. Some of the world's best Heroes, Wizards, Witches, Magicians and even Guardians of Earth. However being a rookie in the magic world doesn't make you safe from things like monsters, demons or the dark arts. This is the story of a... unique set of heroes and they're daily lives as young adults living in a magical world. (Alrighty, I don't have the patience to talk about the destruction these amateurs cause. I swear these kids are getting less and less aware of what they're doing. Might accidentally awaken Beelzebub. Dumb ass, irresponsible, churlish ass kids.)

Every ten years, the small village of Burbwik sends a champion to try and defeat a monster that has plagued the village for centuries. A gorgon.

In a world where magic and fantastical things and creatures exist, humanity has outcasted all magic and tried to wipe out any trace of it. Now human society functions mostly the same as it does now in the modern world, but there are still some traces of magic left, and some creatures who slip past detection. None of this maters to normal, introverted Charlie Martin. There's nothing overly interesting or different about him, he likes to read and play chess, he gets good grades, he barely has any friends, and he has two loving parents, Charlie thinks his life is perfect the way it is. Until one day when it all goes down hill for Charlie. He woke up one morning, and he had started growing feathers, his parents called him a monster, told him he was adopted and a mistake, then kicked him out and told him never to come back again. So he was left out in the Canadian streets in the middle of winter with nowhere to go, he is then (forcefully) adopted by a group of magic extroverted vigilantes, in Charlie's opinion this is a downgrade.

When I read various Medusa accounts, she is always portrayed as the monster, rather than the human that existed before becoming a gorgon. Medusa wasn't cursed by Athena, but blessed with great power and the ability for her to serve at high priestess to Athena. Only Medusa was given this gift and only she served Athena as an eternal high-priestess of Athena. It is Medusa's head on Athena's shield and no other priestess ever had that honor.

A collection of feelings and emotions, my shattered life of pain and depression. It is truly, the Hell inside my Head.

Everyone knows about the greats: Medusa (who was decapitated by some mortal), the Minotaur (who was stabbed by some mortal) and Typhon (who had a mountain dropped on his head by the king of the Gods, who is, admittedly, somewhat more important than some mortal). But what about all the painfully average little monsters out there? You know, the unassuming, unambitious and downright unremarkable. Enter Tanisha, a young Gorgon in the midst of trying to make a name for herself and live up to her family's expectations. Well, she was doing that, but following some unexpected circumstances, mixed with downright poor fortune, she's stuck on a tiny island, with only her collection of petrified mortals and cripplingly low self-esteem for company. But hey, as far as she's concerned, she's fun, she's witty, she's exciting, and she has tried to achieve something noteworthy. It didn't work out quite as well as she would've liked, but enthusiasm has to count for something. Right? Actually, I hear Typhon's up to something cool as well, so if she really does screw this up, that could be interesting... Look forward to new parts every Saturday, circumstance permitting. If a new part doesn't go up on Saturday, it is likely I've been swamped with schoolwork and thus unable to find time to post. I will try my very best to get it out to you on Sunday, but please be prepared to wait till the next week. I apologise in advance for any such delay.
