Andromeda P.O.V.
I remember Perseus the great Demi-god. As I look at him now I feel my heart breaking. I actually remember how it was to have him save my life. How he fearlessly claimed the structure holding me to be given as a sacrifice to the Kraken.
He just looked at the giant beast that was feared and undefeated opponent. Pulled out medusa's head and held it up not worried that death may over take him at the moment. How he started the down the beast as it tried to make another effort to kill the man that dare neglect its presence.
Then when the rope that held me up had broken he merely jumped in after me not and saved me from death at the bottom of the sea. How we were able to get on shore after that I was not sure. I was slowly awakened by the sound of hooves hitting the sand beached floor and the feel of a warm hand under mine.
I looked to him at that moment, sure that this was what I wanted in my life. This type of man who took care of people that was in need. The one who also had a great compassion for them. I had looked in to his eyes and for that moment wondered that this was love at first sight for both of us. Once I saw the boats headed towards us I confidently told him that they had come for us. Yet he simply said "you they had come for you." My heart started to slowly crack. I believed that in that moment I had already lost him and hope for a way to get him to stay. I spoke of the people the ones who would need his protection, how he would be a wonderful king. I even had pictured him as king and me right by his side. "no." he told me "I am not to become king, but you will make a wonderful queen." He smiled and then left jumping on his Pegasus. Leaving me alone on the beach watching as he left
As I watch him now I fell envious. I had invited him to my coronation to see if maybe something could come up and happen. I was surprised when he came…with his wife. Io was right by his side a smile placed on her face and she held her hand walking with her around the palace. I wanted at that moment to hate her. To think of her as someone who never really thought of others, someone who was shallow and he was forced to be with. SO when I actually talked to her my hopes were crushed even more as though the gods were conspiring against me. He told me congratulations, that he was happy for me, and that I would be the best thing to ever happen to this kingdom. She supported that and even commented that I have such a kind heart, and that I am probably the only royal to truly care for the people. I smiled feeling bitter inside.
So as I watch them dance .Him with such a beautiful smile on his face I decided that she had won for the better. She had earned his heart, where I thought I could simply receive it. She would help him much more then I could. She would mean so much more then I could ever mean in his eyes and I guess that at that moment that was all that really mattered. I had lost but as I watch them I feel as though I may have never been in the race.
