"A half blood of the eldest Gods, shall turn sixteen against all odds, and see the world in endless sleep, the hero's soul, cursed blade shall reap, a single choice shall end his days, Olympus to preserve or raze

In the darkness, two shadows, reaching through the hopeless, heavy dusk. Their hands meet, and light spills in a flood like a hundred golden urns pouring out of the sun.

our faults are
gasoline, allowing
simple spark to
burst into flames.
burn short,
burn bright.
i hitch a ride with the
sun, my restless spirit
soothed in its destruction
as we dip below the horizon
in the west, and he
welcomes us home,
his sons and daughters.
mortals d i e , that’s what
makes us precious
as the poets say.
he mourns
us all, our mistakes
his fault.
his sons and daughters,
related in death.
IAPETUS, titan of the west and mortality. | for @mythologicalnet theme: death deities
that boy has locked
sunlight in his hair and
a summer breeze surrounding him.
he's gold.
all gold,
more precious than the real thing.
they tell me
boys don’t need saving, that
i can’t protect him, not from this
but, dear god, i would travel
so far to bless his smile
and banish what makes his eyes
dim; to
save him
from whatever makes the soft go
hard and stale.
he doesn't deserve the
bite of reality, to know
people see his kind eyes
as chinks in armor, but
we all must learn.
the world is more red
than rosy.
he tells me he can
save himself.
i hope he does.
all your gods are teenage girls: ARTEMIS, Greek goddess of the wild
She’s a mystery, that one. Rumours fill the silence where she prefers not to speak. Did those bruises on her arms result from another gang fight or are they just badges of honour won on the field hockey team? They make sure to keep their whispers short when she walks by with her endless posse of female friends. Tiny though she may be, anyone can see the fierceness in her eyes - not Ares’ anger or Athena’s frustration - but the kind of gleam that comes from surviving the worst of humanity, that says she could open her mouth and you’d find fangs. And after all that silence, if she howls on the field, in the streets, at the moon, isn’t it deserved? Don’t we owe her?
Tell me the blood of gods spilled, and thus were born my ancestors. Tell me I carry war and siren songs in my ribs. Tell me you see empires in my eyes. Tell me I'm pure tell me i could never be infernal could never be hellborne could never carry crackling cackling curses—
Tell me no lies.
