History:

Bruised, broken and cursed... this is where my story begins. As some would already know the legend that is Medusa, I was a daughter of the sea. my parents were Phorcys and Ceto, protectors of the seas. Born beside my two sisters we were known as the Gorgon sisters, described as winged creatures in lore with snake like features, although out of my three sisters I was the only maiden among them. Born mortal, and fair, I was innocent once... offered my servitude to the goddess Athena, worshiped her for years as I grew up into adulthood, only to have been acknowledged by Poseidon, which was Athena's Betrothed. Although he came before me with the invitation of rest, I had said no multiple times, Athena was my goddess and I could not betray her and upon the last time that Poseidon had found me in Athena's temple he had betrayed my vows, took me for granted and slandered me in the temple of Athena. Upon this act, my goddess got vengeful, jealous even that Poseidon had taken a interest in my Devine beauty that she had then cursed me into the very thing that you know today. The woman whoms look would turn any mortal into stone, a creature so nasty to look at that it would defy itself with snakes in her hair...yet, none of that was true.

Although the lore was correct, I was not able to be looked at by any mortal man out of fear that I'd turn them to stone, I wasn't as described as Athena made me out to be, this was only a plot of deceit so that no other man could look at me the way hers did, and so out of spite the myth of the snake haired lady arose out of jealousy.

The only thing that kept them at bay from my piercing eyes were the darkened sunglasses I was forced to shield my eyes, if I took them off the room around me would turn to stone. No mortal could stare into my eyes any longer, for fear that they'd turn before my eyes into stone. What a way to go... but it was Hades whom had picked me up and raised me to my feet again. Although he was no mortal he did not turn to stone upon exchanging glances it had been the first time someone had truly seen me for whom I was rather then what Athena had made me out to be. I wasn't a monster in his eyes, and took me under his wing for protection.

Although we shared amany of nights together wrapped up in each others embraces it was when I befell pregnant with his child that he had disappeared, not knowing that I had been bestowed one of his greatest blessings but for I to become a mother of his child. Although the first child I had wasn't Hades, I have him up for adoption after figuring out that it was Poseidon's. Not really letting anyone know that the first was his, that of my attacker, I told them that he was Hades. Never wanting to admit that something terrible had happened, and that was how my curse came to be.

...to be continued.
