I looked at my brother, not believing a word he said.  A witch turned him and my five other brothers into swans?  Impossible.  But then again, I had just seen the obvious evidence right in front of my eyes.  I had just watched six swans fly through the window, blow each other off and turn into my brothers!  I had to do something.
"How can I fix it?"  I stated, to the surprise of my brothers.
"It's too much Soph!"
"Tell me."
"You can neither talk or laugh for the next six years.  You must knit each of us a shirt of starwort.  One small sound out of your mouth and it will all be for nothing.  Are you sure you want to do that?"
"If it means I'll have a family again, then yes."
Suddenly, each of my brothers were surrounding me in a massive hug.  And then they flew away, leaving me speechless and wondering what in the world Starwort was.

32 parts Complete

A retelling of the Hades and Persephone myth, a story of fate, the struggle for power, and love found in the most unexpected places. ***** Persephone has been raised in Olympus all her life - her mother absent, her father a cruel king, with her siblings teaching her all they know. She has seen all of what the gods and goddesses do and she is sick of it. When she learns her safety is threatened by staying in Olympus, she flees to the Underworld. There she stays until she learns that her leaving has caused the world to wilt. But leaving behind her newfound friends and Lady of the Underworld is something she will not do willingly, no matter the consequences.
