Hello everyone! This story is based on the story/myth of Persephone and Hades, but it will be a little different. I hope you like it!
Amu- Persephone, Goddess of Spring
Amu's mom- Demeter, Goddess of Agriculture
So all god/goddess have 2 names. They only use their Greek name if they are speaking formally.
Amu POV
"Can we have a picnic at the lake for lunch," I asked my mom sweetly. "Today, a lot of flowers have bloomed. It will be a very beautiful sight."
"Of course," she said. "It's almost lunch time anyway, let me prepare the food."
"Yay! I need go change my clothes." I went upstairs to my room.
My mom and I live at Earth, instead of Mount Olympus, because we want to live in a place where life grows. Zeus grant us permission to live at the mortal world but with conditions. We always have to be in our human forms, and live in the countryside where there isn't any humans close by here. It's ok to have contact with humans, just not a lot.
"Hm, this time I'll wear a dress, but which one?" I have a light pink dress with thin straps or a long yellow strapless dress. I decided to go with the pink one. After I put it on, I went to the mirror next to my bed to look at myself. I let my shoulder- length pink hair loose. I don't know why I have pink hair, but at least it compliments my dress. I put on yellow gemstone earrings to bring out my eyes. "I'm ready."
I went downstairs and saw my mom put our food in a large basket. She glanced up at me and said, "Let's go. I'm done."
I offered to hold the basket for her, but she said, "It's ok. It's not that heavy."
We headed outside. The lush, vivid grass felt soft under my feet. A variety of beautiful flowers and healthy plants welcome us. "This is pure bliss, just seeing all this life around me."
I looked at my mom. She is smiling and murmuring some peculiar things.
My mom can talk to plants, as well as control them. I can read their emotions and control them a little. My mom said that once I am older and more powerful, I can also talk to plants and control them better.
My mom and I grew these vegetation. When we first arrived here, there was only vast, arid land. It took time and sweat, but it was worth it.
After walking for a couple morel minutes, we arrived at the lake. The lake is colossal and has ducks and geese, and a lot of wildlife also live near this lake. Mom pulled out a towel to sit on, and I helped her. Then, we both sat down and she got out our food. There was sandwiches, drinks, and snacks.
My mom and I started eating, while looking at the breathtaking scenery. We also chatted a little, talking about plants, news (mortal and Gods), and what to do for vacation.
"I know this is early, but here." Mom gave me a pink square box that said, "Happy 16th Birthday Amu!"
Smiling, I opened the box slowly. It's a pink rose necklace, but what's special is that the rose is… alive. Instead of a chain to hold the rose, there is a white ribbon.
"It's very beautiful, Mom. Thank you," I said, gazing in awe at the necklace.
"You're welcome. I put a spell to preserve the rose. This rose is very unique," she said, pleased that I like it.
I put the rose necklace on and smiled. "I love it." I gave my mom a hug.
(short time skip~)
"I'm going to look at the flowers," I said, getting up.
"Ok, just don't go too far."
I nodded, and walked to the field of flowers. I crouched down to look at the flowers closely. I saw tulips, lilies, Colorado Columbine, Blue Bells, Bleeding Hearts, and more.
Suddenly, the ground shook. I can feel the flowers fear and my fear colliding. My mom screamed my name, running toward me with a desperate and fearful expression.
Then, right below me, the ground split open.
As I was falling, I reached out my arms, trying to grasp my mom's hand, but the ground closed right before my eyes.
I was too shocked to do to anything. I could only think of my mom, terrified.
Then, Darkness devoured me.
