As I open the temple door, I get smacked with a gust of wind mixed with dust. It smells of caducity and has cobwebs everywhere. You could tell this place has been here for centuries.

I grab my flashlight out of my pack and turn it on. Unfortunately I made it here at night but can't turn back now. Cautiously entering, I look around dodging webs. 

I almost jump out of my skin, when I hear something move near by. I flash my light over to it and of course, there's a rat. I continue walking in further, completely mesmerized by the ancient writings and symbols on the walls.

As I continue scanning the room, my eyes land on the most beautiful thing. I walk closer feeling lured to it like its calling me.......

Persephone Incarnate [Wattpad Prize 2014] | ✔️ by wishuponajinni
36 parts Complete
[COMPLETED - ONLY MINORLY EDITED] ******************************************************** Greek myths - true or false? They should be false, and to 16-year-old Sophie Claire, it's never crossed her mind that they aren't. Until one day in History class when her teacher spends a day on Greek mythology and something strange starts happening - her friends and classmates begin to tell myths about certain Greek deities with frightening precision. And for some reason, she's began to feel a certain affinity for Persephone, the Greek maiden who was kidnapped by Hades, the Lord of the Underworld, and forced into a marriage with him. This isn't some coincidence or freak dream, she later finds out from a host of strange individuals who claim they're from Olympus, the grandoise home of the gods themselves. She is actually a modern reincarnation of the goddess Persephone, and she's not the only one. A few of her classmates also happen to represent the gods and goddesses from popular Greek myths, and the fact that all of them are present means that something monumental is about to happen. Something like being the girl to change Persephone's future, to break the cycle of kidnapper and victim - all by passing a trial. It won't be simple, she knows, and she's not quite that eager to take it up, but from the moment she found out that she was Persephone, there was no way to back out. She should've known, however, that dealing with all powerful, immortal deities wasn't going to be easy. They've got a few secrets and personality flaws up their sleeves, and they could be deadly. More than deadly - murderous.

Mercury's Thief

5 parts Ongoing Mature

Theo has always been a survivor. Living in the shadows of a decaying city, he steals to keep himself and his younger sister, Ellie, alive-dodging beatings, threats, and the ever-watchful eyes of the black market's worst. He knows the streets, knows how to pick his targets, and most importantly, knows when to run. But when a routine pickpocketing job goes disastrously wrong, Theo doesn't just steal a wallet-he steals a god's coin. And with it, he steals the attention of the wrong people. Now bound to Hermes-yes, that Hermes, the god of thieves, now trapped in a coin-Theo finds himself hunted by a shadowy underground force. The men in suits? Not just bodyguards. The powder hidden in the stolen pocket watch? Not just drugs. Someone has found a way to break gods apart and turn their divinity into a powerful, addictive substance. With cartel enforcers, rival thieves, and ancient forces closing in, Theo does the only thing he can-he fights back. What they find? Terrifying. Because gods don't rule anymore. They're hunted, harvested, and sold. And someone-or something-is pulling the strings behind it all. If Theo to survive, he'll need to uncover the truth before they become the next pieces on the board.
