Hello all you readers out there! Sorry it took me so long to update. I've been really busy and all, what with school starting soon for me & all that junk. I'll get some good updates in, though. Remember, reviews are always welcome!
Chapter 1: The Beginning
My mother is Demeter, goddess of agriculture. My father, Zeus, is the king of the gods and ruler of the sky. When I was a child, I was known as Kore, meaning young maiden. I had a wonderful childhood, playing with Zeus' other young children — Athena and Artemis. It has been said that I always obeyed my mother, and true that may be, but I am not one to boast.
As Athena and Artemis grew older and gained their own thrones, Zeus wondered what to do with me. As goddess of springtime and flowers, I could not be recognized as a major Olympian. But as his own daughter by a major Olympian, I was owed special privileges, one of which was a throne.
Eventually my father compromised and had me sit on a guest chair at the foot of Demeter's throne. It reminded me of the chair Hades sat in at the Winter Solstice and emergency meetings.
Mother and Father gave me some handmaidens, and we loved to go to fields and pick flowers. Every flower that I picked would stay bright and never wilt. Narcissus, poppies, lilies, irises, primrose, orchids, buttercups, figworts, and violets were some of the more common flowers.
One day, my handmaidens and I went to one of our favorite fields. My skirt and hands were full of flowers, when I suddenly saw the most beautiful narcissus that I had ever seen. I bent down to pluck it, not knowing that that small action would change my life.........forever.
Okay, I know it's short, but I have to leave to get tickets for a soccer game and there isn't that much you can make up about Persephone's childhood.
There's a pretty little green button at the bottom of the page, and I would love it if you'd click it just to see what happens. And maybe you could type ideas and what you liked about my story into the little box that pops up. Could you do that? Please, readers? Or are you so lazy that you cannot click and type?
Sorry about the cliffy at the end, and about the fact that I will not update until I get AT LEAST 3 reviews for THIS CHAPTER. So if you want another chapter, press the pretty little green button down there.
