Melamin Estel- Thankies!
I really don't know why they all ended up nyphs...
Hi! I'm Echo. I'm a nymph and an attendant to Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt. She and I are like this. We're close. Very close. So if you wanna try anything, don't. She'll hurt you. Badly.
Okay?
Good.
By the way, please don't tell her that I sorta... broke her bow. It was an accident, I swear! It's not like I meant it or anything.Kapish?
Anyway, there was this one day, when we nymphs were talking -you know, the usual. We were talking about our lives, the newest hero, our great beauty, Zeus' latest conquest (and he has a lot. A lot a lot.). Then guess what- Hera appeared! And I was wondering, what was the queen of the gods doing here? This was nymph territory! Hellooo?
...Hera doesn't like us much, considering the fact that Zeus keeps on chasing after us. Though with a wife like that, it's not like I can blame him. Besides, we're all much much prettier than her.
And you know what happened?
She got mad for no reason I can tell and cursed me. Me! What did I ever do to her? She told me that I was cursed to forever speak others' words or something and left.Jeez, what a B. Just because I'm a lot prettier than her doesn't mean she had to curse me. It's not like I like Zeus. That guy's ancient. And he has a beard. Can you say eww?
Anyway, this curse thing, it really didn't help my relationship with Narcissus.
Who's Narcissus, you say? Well, he's the most handsome guy on Earth. He and I are soulmates. We belong together, I mean, we're both gorgeous and everthing. So people, hands off! He's mine!
...H just doesn't know it yet.
So, there was this one day, when I was admiring him from afar, he saw me. I'm not one of those stalker people, I swear. It's just that he's so hot and I like looking at him and stuff. We nymphs are the ones that get stalked, not vice versa. I mean, come on, we're nymphs. Need I say more? So as I was saying, he saw me. He was like 'hi' and I was like 'hi' and we sorta had a conversation. I'm so glad I'm smart enough to make do with what he told me. Brains and beauty! Take that Aphrodite! Nymphs rule!
So we were talking and then I sorta asked him to be my boyfriend. He said no. He gave me some lame excuse about not wanting to be in anyone's power and left. Honestly! It's so annoying, any cute guy is usually either taken, afraid of commitment or gay. I'm not really sure which category he belongs to now that I've seen him more. What a waste.
Oh well.
