He entranced me, that man. Made me feel like the only woman in the world. Made me want to do anything to help him.
And I did.
I betrayed my father and gave him the string.
I gave up everything so that he would take me away.
I trusted him.
And that's the one thing you should never do: trust people. They always betray you in the end.
He isn't people.
This stranger who has found my island.
At first I want to let him know I won't be easily wooed. I won't fall at his feet.
But he's...different.
He cares about me. We laugh together.
He treats me as an equal, not as a pawn.
I find that I have fallen for him. Just as I promised myself I wouldn't.
I don't tell him.
...He tells me though.
He says he saw what the Hero did to me and wanted to make it better.
He says he is a God. I believe him: he is radiant and wonderful.
He asks me to marry him. To become his Goddess.
I don't know why I accepted. If he betrayed me then I would be forever with him.
He's honest though, and I loved him before I knew who he was.
I do not care for wealth or immortality.
I care for love and honour and respect.
I do not care if is the most cowardly being in the world.
I do not want a Hero any longer. I want a God.
