'And so, Poseidon mercilessly took the young maiden's virtue in Athena's temple and destroyed her body. Medusa blamed Athena for not saving her, accusing Athena of being jealous of her and her sisters' beauty.
Athena vowed that from then, Medusa and her sisters were no longer beautiful and turned them into Gorgons. Ugly beasts with snakes for hair, scales for feet, and eyes which turned their subject into stone. All three sisters were punished for an eternity of this curse and it is said that their offspring, borne from the venom of their fangs, too shared their mothers' curse. Medusa and her children preyed on beating hearts carved out of their subjects whilst staring at their killer's eyes, petrifying them to share death. But while Medusa feasted on mortal's hearts, she craved for the beating heart of a child of Athena to satisfy her hunger for revenge on Athena. So, the children of Athena walk on the Earth and Medusa and her children will hunt for their hearts.'

I cried, racing to the temple where I last saw them. Suddenly, I heard the chains of my father's weapon rattle. "Father!" I screamed, racing to the entrance of the temple and my eyes widened as I saw the horrific sight: bodies of the monks I used to play around with were slain and I saw as the hand of my mother's fall onto the stone ground. My big sister's limply looking leg was barely visible from the entrance. My eyes widened as I realized what had happened. I stared as the culprit began to mourn them and I glanced at my father's weapon, soaked in the blood of his victims.
