Hi! Let's get straight into it. Medusa: Queen of the Underworld will basically be a glorified fanfic where I take the story behind Medusa as she appeared in old Greek mythology and retell it using my own style and a new version of the world as the ancient Greeks saw it. 

The story will focus on Nýchta, a Greek woman who once lived a peaceful life in the city at the foot of Mount Olympus. However, that all came to an end when she met a handsome stranger who, using sweet song and poem, won her heart. This seemingly sealed her fate and price she paid for the love she felt was far greater than she could have ever dared imagine. Her body was cursed and cast into the underworld deep. Forsaken by both gods and men, Nýchta will have to struggle in order to change her fate.

What to expect:

÷  A reimagining of a classic Greek Myth 

÷ Mostly original alternative history 

÷ Expansive lore and world building 

÷ Colorful and intriguing characters

÷ badass half-snake warrioress!All Rights Reserved

Hades |Lesbian Version| by Svetaivanova

| A Wattpad Featured Story | Hades was well-cast to rule over the land of the dead. But what if Hades, the fearsome monarch of the Underworld was, in fact, a goddess? Everyone called her, 'Lord of the Dead' out of mockery since she prefers the company of women. She was considered an isolated and violent immortal, who loathed change and was easily given to a slow black rage like no others. But then everything changed when the dark goddess met the daughter of Demeter, Persephone. Now the tale of Hades and Persephone will be retold with a sprinkle of twists and turns. |LGBT content.

Behind her hazel eyes (COMPLETED) #thewattys2020 by white-wolf-girl

Everyone loves a good mythical/monster story, right? We all know our far share of myths, medusa the lady who could turn you to stone with just a look. Creatures that do not ages, cannot go into the sun and feeds on humans flesh. Known in this day anf age as vampires. Then there's my favourite myth... The myth of the ones chosen (better yet cursed) by the moon goddess to turn every full moon. However it mentions how the 'chosen ones' became the cursed ones. They were forced to turn every full moon becoming blood thirsty, but they were better known for.. the beasts they become. Well let me tell ya... I do love a good story but that is all they are. One. Big. Story. Not everything is true they did lie about some. We don't change every full moon and we are not on two legs and we do not eat human flesh infact we are humans!!! We walk among you, only we are very much different from you aswell as eachother. Well at least I am... I'm not your average she-wolf but let me tell you something my journey is unlike anything you've seen before. **** 19th November 2018- rated #350 in true. 4th December 2018- rated #15 in werewolf.

Divine Desires: Echoes of the Gaze by heyzelasadobe

In the ancient, mythical city of Aethria, where legends and gods once walked among mortals, a unique and captivating love story unfolds. "Echoes of the Gaze" weaves a tale of two individuals who defy destiny's cruel twists, embracing the beauty within their imperfections. Medusa, the infamous Gorgon with snakes for hair, lives a secluded life in the ruins of a forgotten temple on the outskirts of Aethria. Cursed by Athena for her breathtaking beauty and the consequences of a tragic betrayal, she now bears the burden of turning anyone who gazes into her eyes into stone. Her heart aches for connection, but her curse keeps her isolated, yearning for a love she believes is unattainable. In the heart of Aethria resides Alexios, a gentle and talented musician who lost his sight in a childhood accident. Despite his blindness, he has learned to navigate the world with grace and courage, using his heightened senses of touch, sound, and intuition. His music is renowned throughout the city, captivating all who hear it. One fateful day, while wandering the ruins in search of inspiration for a new composition, Alexios stumbles upon Medusa's forgotten temple. Unbeknownst to him, he gazes in her direction, but his blindness saves him from her curse. Intrigued by the presence of another person in her desolate world, Medusa remains hidden, observing him from the shadows. As Alexios explores the temple, he discovers a beautifully sculpted statue, seemingly carved from the finest marble. He is inexplicably drawn to this life-like figure and begins to play a haunting melody on his lyre. The enchanting notes fill the temple, and Medusa, hidden behind a pillar, is captivated by the music... A.N - second book of Divine Desires :)
