Chapter 21 - Euterpe

Pondering what Carolyn had said. They came upon the ship. It was made of metal painted black about 200 feet long and about 125 ft high from the deck to the top of the mast! The ship had 3 mast's with white sails.

There was about 300 people on the ship. The crew consisting of mostly English men. There was a man ringing a bell. Indicating a shift change to be had. On that bell was the name "Euterpe".

Chloe finding this odd. Because Euterpe was the name of a goddess. She was Zeus's daughter. One of the nine muses. The muse of music, song and lyrical poetry. Her mother was of all things a titan!

As she was thinking this.

A woman that looked to be in her twenties walks up. Chloe Christ! What are you doing here? She said ostentatiously. And with a male suitor none the less....

Chloe annoyed by that last part. Throughout her life she had not taken on a partner. Nobody being good enough for her. Aka not up to par with her daddy..And with this she had aquired a reputation. Male suitor? Nono...This is my FRIEND. Jeremy Drazon.

He is new here. We met at my father's temple. I'm just showing him around.

Friend? Well then! Euterpe being a goddess could afford to be very bold. Not to mention living forever has it's perks! Most people always forget after some time. She bi passed Chloe as if. If your not after this handsome man. I might as well introduce myself.

Hello Jeremy. My name is Euterpe! The muse of music and poetry said so eloquently.

Sticking her white gloved hand out expecting niceties... Jeremy politely grabbed her hand and fake kissed it saying "charmed".

I bet you say that to all of the girls Euterpe chided.

Euterpe being about 5 ft 6 in. With golden hazel eyes like those of a tiger. Black hair wrapped around her head to look like a crown full of flowers. She was wearing Greek garbs of yellow and white. She was everything one would think a goddess should look like. Pleasing to the eye and beautiful to boot.

Well you got me there goddess Euterpe! But please do not think me in sincere.

That's fresh! Chloe said under her breath. Jeremy hearing this sensed a little jealousy. Thinking that was quick.

So is this your ship? Chloe persisted.

Not really. I had heard that someone had built a ship with my name on it. So naturally I was curious and decided to come see what all the talk was about. It did not dissapoint. It truly is marvelous boat and now, running into you makes me think this was fate. looking flirtatiously at Jeremy. But talking to Chloe.

Euterpe had heard of Jeremy. In fact everyone in the spirit world had. Jeremy wasn't a rockstar or anything. not even a legend. Just a peculiar person people kept track of. The reason being Jeremy could decipher his path perfectly. Making it look like a pure existence. Walking a life path gaining max karmic merit and little to no karmic sin was extraordinary! He had obtained 3 life's worth of karmic merit in one sitting of life!. Jeremy did not know this. He thought what he did in his Last life to be normal. But others knew that if Jeremy kept this up. His path to godhood would be shorter than most and anyone on his path would benefit aswell.

Jeremy always following his heart and deciphering the day was his saving grace.

Everything is fate. Down to the last detail and all of it givin by god. One just had to decipher his language to read it properly. Jeremy had long learned this.

And what prey tell is this language you speak of? It is pure love... The understanding that absolutely everything happens for a reason and that God's design is flawless. Always growing towards the light.

Chloe standing off to the side was surprised! Many knew this but truly believing this and living it were two seperate things. It was way to easy to loose focus get discouraged and loose faith. Sometimes even getting the best of her. Carolyn perched on top of Jeremy's shoulder was annoyed! You actually believe that shit you Just said? Yeah and what? Why would you even question it. You've seen gods and know they exist. Is it to far fetched to say there is one who preaches love and has our best interest in mind?

Nothing is to far fetched. It's been my experience that shit happens all the time. Especially to me! If there was a god that cared. Why would I be here with you now. Instead of with my husband.

Jeremy naturally sympathetic to the situation said Everything happens for a reason.

We will see... Carolyn said sternly.

Euterpe said. That... is... beautiful. Clapping her hands three times. Easier said than done though. I have a different mind set entirely... But to each is their own. Euterpe getting tired of the chit chat already. Thinking I should persuade him to come with me. The sisters would go crazy meeting him in person. One on one would be more opportune... Dad and mom shouldn't care...So without hesitation.

Would you like to accompany me to my father's temple? This ship is great. But after awhile. It gets very boring. You could meet my sister's. The nine muses. You could also meet My mother and father. Zeus and Mnemosyne.

Jeremy said. That actually would be awesome! I regretfully! Will have to pass for now though. We just got here and I want to check all of this out further. Euterpe perturbed. Well. That is unfortunate. If you do find the time. The invitation is always open. I will bid farewell now. Extending her hand out to touch his shoulder. Euterpe thinking touch in the right manner is always a good farewell. All of the sudden Carolyn switched shoulders and stood her ground pecking at the goddesses hand!

Euterpe pulling her hand back with grace feeling no pain. What's wrong with your bird? Ohhhh! Carolyn?.. She's my security. Laughing out loud. Never mind her. It's probably just bird ritual or something? Think nothing of it. Are you hurt?

No. I am not. It takes more than a little peck from a bird to shake a girl like myself up..I will leave now. I do hope to see you again. I assure you, you will enjoy it she said seductively. And poof she was gone.
