Some of this was inspired by a movie that I was watching lately. Such a warm hearted scene. Anyway, enjoy homo sapiens.
Yours Truly,

I cried constantly after that night. I always had wine next to me. I had gained strength in my torso and my voice was more beautiful was more legs were a little slower in getting strength back. Hermes had died the night after he raped me. Good riddance. I heard that Kratos cut his legs off, taking his boots. Hahaha! Serves him right! I now know the suffering and angst of being raped because of him. He took something away from me that was special. I wasnt virgin but its still something special. It was about that time that the five servants would come to me. Some of them were my regulars but there was one girl that was new. She was short and fat with long hair.
" I see we have a new recruit."
" All the rest of you leave my presence, except for you, new one." She had the look of modesty and humbleness. I could automatically tell what her life was like. No one respected disliked her because of her weight. But she was pretty for an oversized girl.
" (she sits up to talk to the girl)Sit down and relax. You look nervouse and scared."
" As you wish your highness(sh slowly sits down next to her)"
" Dont be scared I won't bite. What's your name?"
" Agapi, your highness."
" Well, Agapi, you are going to be my right-hand-'gal until he comes to rescue me. You look like the type to get things done. And you don't have to call me that. You can call me by my first name(grabs wine and takes a big gulp)."
" As you wish you- I mean- Maliyah. I lobe and favor your voice."
" Thanks. Walk me over to that tub so I can bathe." She torched the coals under the tub. I took my clothes off and she came over to help me get up and got me in the tub. She stood beside me and the tub.
" You got any children?"
" No. If I may ask, do you have any children?"
" Nope. And that's how it's gonna stay for a while. Are you in love?" I said quizzing her. I couldn't figure it out, but something told me that we were going to go a long way... A very long way. (Agapi looks away and sheds a tear)
" No, but I am married."
" How are you married and you're not in love?"
" I was forced."
" Oh(takes a puddle of water and pours it on her hair and face)."
" I bet you're wondering why Im asking you all these questions. The reason is simple: I want to get know you as a friend. I also had to do something by force and I wasn't in love...(she bursts into tears as she lays back)"
Agapi ran over to me and started to brush my hair and hum a tune. This tune sounded familiar but I can't put my finger on it. That meant a lot to me. She was the only one so far that I could just empty out all of my emotions to. We had spent the rest of the day together, talking about ourselves to each other. She was so shy and from my perspective, she was a lonely miserable woman. We were sitting on the edge of a pond in Hera's garden. She had told me what everyone had done to her. They had called her ugly, fat and an abomination. How could they do that to her? Especially her father! We shed a few tears together. Mines were filled with wine and hers were regular.
" So. What about this husband of yours? What is he like? Personality and sexually?"
" He beats me when people are not around and after he is done, he throws me on the cushions and does his business."
" 'His business?' You make it seem like he's going to the bathroom on you!"
" That is what it feels like. Most of the time I lay there and pretend that I am not there. He does not know the difference. I just lay there thinking about my mother."
" Well, that means you're still a virgin."
" I guess... because nobody loves me."
I had to cheer her up...
" Well I love you."
" You think I am fat and ugly like everyone else."
" No I don't!"
" 'You are so fat.' 'You sure are ugly.' ' You gave the ugliest smile that is out of creation."
" I think you're beautiful. Sometimes you just gotta put your middle finger up and say fuck 'em, you know?"
" I guess you are right."
I didn't tell her that I was leaving for Sparta soon... she seemed all too happy to break the news to her.
