Here I sit and watch you, oh blessed child

Here I sit and watch you, oh blessed child. I await the day you discover my hiding place. I watch you in your fine splendor as you leap into the sky and take wing. Hermes has blessed you with cunning, craftiness, and flight. You are his white child, his thief, his priest in a modern age though you do not know this.

I sit and watch as black ravens try to clip your wings, but always has Hermes protected you from harm. But, do my senses deceive me? I see her hand in your soul. Are you one of her get? Are you a child of the night, a son of great Nyx? Yes, I can see the marks of her and her get in you. Oh, how blessed you are, my knight.

Strange things surround you, my knight. A servant of a daemon, one who arrived both before and after my time stands behind, beside and before. She watches, she knows, she waits. I protect you from her manipulations. Then, there is your friend and partial rival, the one with hair the color of wheat. He is intelligent and knows far too much. Perhaps Athena has blessed him. He seems to have her wit and shrewdness. The woman you have your heart on is a conundrum. A thief you are and the daughter of your hunter she be.

I will admit you confuse me, but so do the ones who have blessed you. I guess it's just a personality quirk.

I stop observing your latest attempt at finding me for a short time and think. I have been trapped within this stone for so long. I was the first woman. My mistake was grave. I unleashed all the darkness upon the world. This jewel is my prison, my punishment sent forth by powerful sorcerers. I was abandoned by the gods that made me. Now, my soul rests. I have seen enough about you, my knight, to know that you will be the one to find me, and for all the right reasons as well.

I have only wanted to protect, never destroy. I have always been kind, never hateful. I have always been generous, never greedy.

So, I beg to Anake and the Moirae to let you find me before the black ravens do. Oh, how I hope you can release me from my prison so I may go on to sleep with the others until time starts anew.

Find me, my knight. Find me.

For I am Pandora.


AND: Ok, my first foray into this category. I wanted to do something a little different. I am a big lover of mythology so I have included a breakdown of all deities. I have yet to read a story like this and was struck by inspiration. To explain, what is the gem Pandora was not just a gem but the prison for the first woman. Her soul is trapped within it and cannot go on to be judged in Hades, where the gods sleep after loosing their worshippers to Christianity.

Well please review and tell me what you think. Is anything confusing?

Gods/Goddesses/Mythological Figures

Pandora- the first woman who opened a jar/box that contained all of the evils of the world. The only thing left in the box when she closed it was hope.

Hermes- God of flight, thieves, commerce and travelers. He's a trickster and god of thieves. It makes sense Kaito would have his blessing.

Nyx- primordial goddess of night. Thieves go out at night to play. Some of her get include the gods/goddesses of deceit, retribution, and mockery. Oh yeah, they definitely like Kaito.

Athena- Goddess of wisdom. She was the first judge at the trial of Orestes for the murder of his mother Clytemnestra. Seems like a deity that would bless Haukba.

Anake- the personification of fate and destiny. She is mother to the--

Moriae- also known as the Three Fates. They share one all-seeing-eye in some mythos.
