Heaven's Light
A/N: This is my first time doing something for Greek Mythology. I wanted to do this story for Hephaestus because I feel like he deserves to feel like someone loves. This is based off the song "Heaven's Light" from Hunchback of Notre Dame. This will be a drabble.

Hephaestus has always been known as the "ugliest god" and any mortal or god would be repulsed by him whenever they encounter him. His wife Aphrodite says his appearance sickens her, she only cares for beautiful people like herself. Hephaestus has grown to hate his own reflection because it only reminds him of what others see.
The harsh comments by those who come into his domain break him down more and more, sometimes he would find himself wishing he was just as handsome as the other gods.
Just when he was thinking that no one would look at him without a trace of disgust in their face he met this mortal girl named Penelope. Hephaestus She smiles sweetly at him and spoke to him with the utmost respect, was beginning that someone could see passed the outside and look at the beauty within.
A/N: OK I'm sorry if it's not that great but A for trying right.
