Medusa and Blind Love Chapter 1.
Medusa of the gorgons was cursed by the Goddess Athena to forever be hideous. Athena had turned her skin to scales that were a dark olive green with eyes as yellow as the gold the treasures in her temple, but most notably about her appearance was that live venomous snakes replaced her long gorgeous locks. Her hair became more scaly and wavy as fangs appeared with long forked tongues emerged and became elongated .But her worst curse was that she was destined to turn anyone who looks her in her eye to be turned to stone. Her curse was not to kill people she met, but to forever be alone, never to be loved, Athena's ultimate vegengence.
Years later
"Another man came by today, he apparently tried to kill me. I'm not surprised though, ever since Athena did this, she's been spreading rumors about me in an attempt to get others to kill me," Medusa talked to the snakes in her hair, seeming that there was no one else to talk to, she would talk to the snakes, "I guess another entry in my journal and another statue added to the garden.
Surprisingly it became quite difficult for Medusa to find a place to keep the statues, she couldn't bear to destroy them, the guilt was a burden to heavy to carry. Instead she started to keep them around, built a garden with a lake and everything. She couldn't go back home, she was too afraid of turning everyone she loved to stone. Sometimes though she would sneak into the bazaar at night and give sculptors who were in debt the statues so they can sell them. It's a little sadistic, but if it helps them, then it's worth it.
Medusa reached into her satchel and grabbed her journal to put in another entry for today. The book was large, about the length of her forearm, and it was decorated with a picture of the Chimera sewn on the faint emerald green leather cover. Writing helped pass the time. "Hello journal, as per usual another man came her today by the lake to try and kill me. I really didn't want to kill him, he seemed like a nice man, but he wouldn't listen to reason. Oh well, I guess another guest to the garden," Medusa had written somberly.
The first few years of her curse, Medusa had become lonely and almost went mad. But instead her snakes kept her company, years after being isolated she came to accept it, but she still yearns for the days before the curse. Most days she just relaxes by the lake and thinks to herself, usually in deep thought. Some days she paints the latest statues by the fountain, or sculps her own. Medusa has mastered a lot of skills over the years during isolation.
""There are days that I wish I can go back and see my family again, I'm not even sure how long it's been, but I'm sure they're still alive," Medusa was pretty much sulking at this point while her hair tries to comfort her. But before she can even react to them she heard footsteps and the rustling of bushes. She prepared herself thinking it was another warrior trying to claim her head as a prize.
Medusa had widened her gaze, ready to strike, she was not in a good mood. But to her surprise, it wasn't a warrior, but instead a beautiful woman who seemed lost. She tried to help her but was too afraid she might stone-gaze her. But she knew she couldn't leave her alone, so she covered her eyes, put on a hood to cover her snakes and walked over to her.
