Nemesis is well aware that she is indeed blind.
Despite of how rare it is for a god to be blind. They are immortals, perfect, and physically beautiful. They are the embodiment of everything that mortals envy of.
But how come a goddess like her can have visual impairment? She was born immortal like others with godly parents, she can do anything that mortals can't do, and she was the daughter of two most powerful Primordials. (no matter how many times Chronos kept saying that he too is powerful as well)
And yet she is blind.
Her vision loss wasn't a birth defect—thankfully, but from an accident. She once had a pair of beautiful blue eyes, but her cockiness caused her to lose her sight. If only she didn't pick a fight against Themis back then… maybe she could still able to see, and Themis wouldn't die as well.
But regret always comes after the fall.
The Fates must have willed it for her to be blind as her punishment, because shouldn't her eyes able to recover from such wound? She is a goddess after all. Gods can heal themselves—sometimes with the help from Apollo.
She knew that the gods had pitied her for her vision loss, but she also knew that they whispered bad things behind her back. Mocked her for being such a weak minor god that can't heal her own damn eyes.
And that is how her hatred against hubris started. All thanks to her past hubris.
She had learned that being blind wasn't so bad after all. Her vision may be gone, but her other senses are still functional. Gods can hear what mortals' thinks, but she can hear what they feel, their emotions. Gods can see mortals from any places, but she can 'see' their auras. Any auras, even the other gods' aura as well.
There was the time that she also relied on her sense of smell. Apparently, each god has different scents.
Zeus always smelled like ozone. Athena smelled like old books and scrolls. Artemis smelled like forest. There are also gods with scents that she can't bear. Like Poseidon who smelled like fish guts and seaweeds—sometimes he smelled like fresh saltwater, but that's unknown when he will smell like that. Or Hades who smelled like dead corpses and rotten things. Aphrodite is the worst. Why? Because she smelled like a perfume factory. Imagine, all the scents of perfume from each different brands and different kind of flowers and what do you get? A ton of headache and sneezing—well, on Nemesis' case.
But there is one scent that Nemesis really loved.
Ares' scent is different than the others. Athena and Artemis might have complained that Ares always smelled like sweat and blood—and Aphrodite complained that he had a terrible body odor, but for some reason the God of War smelled like a burning fireplace at home and cinnamon to Nemesis. Most gods would guess that Ares' aura is chaotic and destructive, but to Nemesis is not. His aura is warm and comforting.
Nemesis often wondered if her senses tricked her or she's in the process of going into madness, but why Ares' scent and aura seems so different to her? Where every god want to stay away from him, why she's the only one who felt drawn to him?
And why every time she smelled his comforting scents, felt his warm aura near her, she felt her hearts beat erratically and her pale face flushed?
The Goddess of Revenge couldn't help but feel blind with her own feelings.
