She watched the sea, which twinkled like stars, mermerised. She would have probably been gardening right now, but she didn't feel like it. Which was quite surprising, as it was one of her favorite things to do on a normal day. But today...she had a feeling. Something felt...different. What was worse, she had no idea what.
She cautiously walked across the beach, sand tickling her toes and sat down on a spot. She sighed, bored and feeling quite lonely.
A sudden wind swept across the land, which jerked her awake. Her heart hammered against her chest, but she calmed herself down.
Probably nothing, just her imagination running wild.
When she lost count of the time, she carefully stood up, brushed the sand of her jeans, and decided to do something to kill the the time.
That's when something exploded.
Bang!
Even she had to admit, she did not see that one coming.
A chill ran down her spine. She knew whatever it was, she was not going to like it.
Biting her lip, she ran towards the fire, nearly tripping.
Without warning, the ground shook and began to split. Slowly, she backed away.
Another sudden explosion threw her off her feet and she silently cursed.
It was then she realized what was happening.
The beach sands were hurricanes storming at her, and the whole land seemed to be controlled by something.
But what?
Thunder split the sky, almost trying to fight the presence.
Oh, this was not going to be pretty.
After a few seconds, she looked up and nearly gasped.
Not pretty? That would be anything but the truth.
She was beautiful.
Immediately, she knew that it was a goddess.
She seemed to be the whole world. Green and sea blue was etched across her skin. The whole world...
Gaea.
Gulping, she braced herself for whatever happened next,
Instead, the goddess smiled.
She had to remind herself how evil this godess was.
Gaea held out a hand and said,
"My poor girl. Poor, poor girl. Still here, I see. I can help. Join me, and you will be free of all your worries. Hold my hand and we shall unite, and destroy the gods. Don't you want that after all that has happened to you?. Come with me, child, and we shall Rule. Come..."
For a few moments, she was tempted. Wasn't this better?
Then she remembered everything else.
Gaea was evil. She was not.
She didn't want power, even if she was powerful.
And if she joined... Who knows what Gaea could do?
"No." She said boldly.
Gaea's smile faltered, "What?"
"I said, I don't want to join you. Whatever happens."
The ground rumbled beneath her feet.
"Are you sure? This is an offer one cannot refuse-"
"No. And the decision is final."
An angry look appeared in Gaea's eyes. She began to fade.
"You will regret this decision for eternity, I promise you child."
There was a wave of sand blinding her, and Gaea disappeared.
The power made her tremble, and she heard voices from the sky saying the one same thing before she blacked out.
"Thank you."
