The Butterfly
In mythology, a butterfly symbolizes fire; it is associated with a moth to a flame. In ancient Greece, the butterfly symbolized the soul's prominence over the body and the profound changes it brings. In Shamanism, a butterfly is a symbol. A white butterfly represents goodness, a black butterfly represents sadness, and a yellow butterfly represents illness. A blue butterfly symbolizes pure spirit. This is the story of an ordinary person living a monotonous life. This is the story of how an ordinary person's life can change in an instant. Question your beliefs, because the greatest adventures begin with believing in the most incredible things. Persuaded to fight as representatives of the gods in their war for dominion over the Earth, the 10 young people gathered in a house where they would learn the finer points of war and being a good soldier, and develop the talents bestowed upon them by the gods who chose them to take part in this war. - We wrote this book series with my sister 10 years ago, we published it on Wattpad, and it was published by a publishing house in Turkey. I translated the book myself from Turkish to English, and since it is my second language, there might be some mistakes in writing. I hope you can pardon my mistakes and enjoy the story.

Isolation can be devastating. But love...can destroy everything around you. For Persephone, isolation is being kept under the suffocating gaze of her mother, treated like a child and forbidden from interaction with her own kind or the mortal people under her care. For Hades, isolation is a deadly gift, a silent and lifeless kingdom that he alone rules -- and that cuts him off from all that he would consider family. But when the winds of chance throw two love-starved souls together, it heralds the end of the universe as they know it.... #1 in HadesxPersephone (09/18/22) #2 in Persephone (09/27/22)Complete

As the tremors intensified, a great chasm ripped open, devouring everything in its path and swallowing her in an instant. In a heartbeat, she plummeted into the shadowy abyss, consumed completely by the darkness. Then, the great void closed again, cutting off the sound of her terrified voice, leaving no trace of her presence there...' A retelling of the timeless love story of Hades and Persephone.

[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.Complete![Little Saint Bride [Death and the Maiden, #1]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/37493976-256-k86754.jpg)
