A radiant figure among the twelve Olympian deities, emerging from the tumultuous depths of the Aegean Sea, where the heavens made love with the churning waves, born a goddess of unparalleled beauty.
Yet, in a rare moment of discord among the Olympians, the great god Zeus, joined by the other deities, conspired against her, reaching a unanimous decision that would forever change her fate.
Stripped of her memories and cast down to the mortal realm, Aphrodite was forced to traverse a world she barely understood- an existence devoid of her memories of grandeur and divinity. Though she bore the title of the goddess of love, her heart was a blank canvas, untouched by the sweet experiences or painful longings that love entailed.
When the dust of the Trojan War settled in, Zeus accepted this was a necessary lesson for the young goddess who orchestrated the chaos. For beneath her ethereal beauty lay a shadowy depth, a nature fueled by romantic and carnal desire, which had sparked countless conflicts among gods and mortals alike. Now, she was destined to experience love in its raw, unfiltered form, witnessing and perhaps even tasting the bitterness and anguish her games had sown throughout the lives of others.
Meanwhile, on the opposite side of the earth, Freen stumbled through her ordinary existence, untouched by the knowledge of the divines. Life had dealt her a harsh hand; after losing her parents, she had been forced to learn the art of survival in a world that seemed relentlessly unforgiving. Alone and isolated, devoid of loving hands to guide her, Freen's heart yearned for the warmth of affection that had always eluded her.
Would the paths of these two young women, so starkly contrasted in their origins and experiences, ever converge? And in the grand tapestry of existence, could there truly be fairness in love and war?
When the time is ripe, with fortune aligned,
And the moon casts her glow on the wayfarer's plight,
In that memory, my love, you shall surely find,
That I am but a heartbeat, waiting for you in light,
I will be there, waiting, forever thine.
