In a twisted tale of Medusa, what if instead of Medusa being slain, she fought for the return of her maidenhood and went up against one of the biggest and most beloved gods in Greek history? Goddess Athena.
Prince Ryn knew that one day he'd be Archon of Athens. He'd have the gods and goddesses to watch over him and Poseidon would continue to bring prosperity to the land by providing them safe passage through his sea and Athena would continue to provide them with the knowledge to build and maintain relations with other lands.
But all of that is shattered when his father offers him up to be sacrificed to Medusa. As Ryn and Medusa's lives become intertwined together because of their foretold fates, they both fight to change their future.
But can they truly change their future? Or will they be the death of each other?
A cursed maiden foretold to die by her own gaze.
A prince foretold to die an agonizing death in the sea.

She who sees me
They called her a monster. They never saw her break. After centuries of silence, Medusa lives alone in a forest of stone-haunted by gods, hunted by men, and burdened by a curse that turns love into ash. Her name, once sacred, is now a warning whispered in fear. But everything begins to change the day a blind witch named Nyxara steps into her world. Nyxara has survived exile, rejection, and a magic that heals as easily as it kills. She was cast out for being too dangerous, too different, too queer-and yet, the goddess Selene gave her a name, a purpose, and a vision: Find the Gorgon. Teach her she is not broken. As Medusa and Nyxara grow closer, so do the eyes of the gods. Selene watches with quiet pride. Athena watches with unraveling fury. And Medusa must decide if she can rewrite her story-not as a monster, but as a woman who survived the divine and still dared to love. A story of myth reclaimed, trauma unbound, and love powerful enough to turn stone into flesh again. DISCLAIMER: the story of Medusa that we all know and love is not from Greek mythology. This book is not inspired by Greek mythology. It is inspired by the poet Ovid that made a book named metamorphosis in the Roman mythology which told the tale of Medusa where she was born a human died of Gorgon please do not confuse the two. In the Greek mythology Medusa was born in Gorgon died of Gorgon she was part of the three sisters born to a sea deity she had no background nothing she was only known for having snakes for hair. In Roman mythology the poet Ovid dove in into her story with his own imagination which is a big part of the reason why she is always shown as a monster and not a survivor please remember that.

I dedicate this sequel to my Poseidon fanfiction story to the creator of the Sims 3 machinima trilogy VanityMovies and the entire cast.

This loss drives Jonathan to a fateful encounter with a strange man, or perhaps something else entirely-an entity offering him a wish. A wish he never imagined he'd get, one he's longed for even before meeting Alexander. But is this stranger human? Or is there something darker at play?Concluida

She dreams not of beauty or power but of becoming a priestess-serving the goddess with knowledge, healing, and faith. But when divine attention collides with mortal envy, her life takes a turn the gods never warned her about.
