little rose~
Humans nowadays don't believe in mythology but there was a time where the gods were more than just a myth. A time where humans feared the mood swings of the gods, looking up to their residence.
Which was no other than the greek mountain Olympus, home of Zeus. Who preferred to stick to the name of Aiden, King of Olympus and god of thunder and lightning. He was the ruler of all gods, leading them with strict but understanding hand. By his side, Hera, also known as Ava, the Wife and Queen of Aiden. Their relationship was not so strong as it seemed, Aiden wishing for someone less jealous or fiery.
Which was why he has found his love in someone else, Demeter with the real name of Nora, goddess of harvest. Aiden was preying on Nora for over a decade until the beautiful goddess gave in and they spent hours over hours loving each other.
Nora ended up pregnant with Aiden's child and that was where all of the tragedy would start. Once Ava, Aiden's wife found out about the affair, she was furious. Trying to kill Nora and her unborn child but Aiden hid his secret lover until Ava's anger would vanish.
But it unfortunately never did, something broke in between the married couple that tragic day, they drove apart but stayed together as they didn't want a war coming upon the other gods who would have to choose a side in between them.
Nine months passed and Nora gifted Aiden a lovely child. Something Ava seemed not to be capable of, bearing Aiden an heir. The child was a girl and a wish come true by the god of thunder, instantly adoring the small baby giggling in Nora's arms, the exhausted goddess of harvest smiling a happy smile.
That was the day, Eleanor, goddess of flowers, Persephone, was born.
She was one of a kind, animals seemed to love the little girl, flowers blossomed wherever her steps were taking her, happiest smile on her face whenever Aiden came to visit her. The god has hidden his lover and his child from his furious wife in the forest, only visiting them from time to time but otherwise staying away.
It has been one of these days where Aiden has come to visit them, but this time, Ava has found out where he was going and followed him. But when she laid her eyes on the cutely giggling Baby on Aiden's lap, her anger vanished into thin air, her plan to kill the Baby disappearing the second she laid her eyes on her.
Now, she had a new aim in front of her eyes. And that was snatching the cute Baby, Eleanor, Aiden's child, away from Nora, the concurrent for Aiden's love and the title as wife and Queen.
From now on, Eleanor was raised with a family split from hatred and fighting for her attention. But that didn't stop her from growing up beautiful.
Nora
"Eleanor, my beautiful rose, where are you going?"
The call of Demeter, goddess of harvest caused the beautiful raven to turn around, a sweet smile on her face like always, golden cheeks glowing in the morning light, black hair tinted in the spectacle of colors given by the sun and flowers surrounding her frame like always which stretched out to reach for the delightful sun.
How funny, since Helios, god of the sun and called Austin was anything bright and sunny, always a bit on the grumpy side but he still fulfilled his job.
Eleanor
"I wanted to go to the flower fields, mother"
Eleanor smiled, showing off her basket before giggling cutely, making her mother coo.
Nora
"Take some nymphs with you, Sweetheart. I don't want you out there alone. Someone could steal you from me and you're my beautiful little rose, aren't you?"
Nora cooed, pulling her daughter into a bone crushing hug, making Eleanor squeak but soon responded to the hug.
Eleanor
"Okay, whatever makes you sleep at night"
She cheekily responded, Nora gasping outraged.
Nora
"Oh you teasing little thing! How dare you talk to your mother like this!"
Nora exclaimed but a fond smile was playing on her lips, knowing Eleanor was just joking and warmth spread in her heart.
Nora
"But come back right after you picked the flowers, you hear me? I feel like someone's been watching you since a few days now and I can't shake the feeling off"
Nora said worried, holding her beloved daughter close to her.
Eleanor
"Don't worry mother, I'll be careful! Pinky promise"
The little goddess of flowers smiled up to her mother, Nora leaning down to ruffle her black locks.
Nora
"Off you go, my Baby"
She lovingly told Eleanor, letting her out of her hold. Her daughter cutely waved at Nora before running off, a cute skip in her steps, Nora lovingly watching after her precious daughter.
It might not have worked out with Aiden, them being separated by a whole lot of issues, one being called Ava, but at least, she had her daughter, Eleanor who was a sweet little angel blessed by any god out there, pure and breathtakingly stunning. Nora smiled softly, her daughter was her pride and everything good she ever received in her immortal life.
Nora
"My beautiful rose... always dreaming with your head in the clouds... I just hope it won't become a disadvantage for you..."
