Persephone is an extremely powerful woman.
She is not the most powerful in existence, many could rival her. But in the current world, where she is drifting in the sky, uninterested, none can even survive her gaze and charm.
Every beautiful woman knows how beautiful they are and she also knows that she is beautiful. Many even went to war for her, but she never even heed a glance at those men or battles.
Once the heart gets broken, it is very hard to even try to pick those pieces. Nevertheless, She became strong, so strong that she never had to depend on anyone and so beautiful that even gods drool when they saw her.
She was flying through cosmos where the planets were seen in the distance, like little shiny dots. Suddenly she noticed a beam of light coming from a planet to her side and relatively close. The beam rose like it would connect every planet in sight. Focusing on the source of the abnormality she found that it was coming from an island.
Normally she would have ignored it, but she noticed that the particles of the light beam were different. Instead of photons, they held cosmic power and a dense one at that, some even call it soul matter or dark matter.
Curious, She flew in the direction of the light. She reached the island but the light suddenly disappeared magically from her vision and she saw a boy lying on the ground.
He was wearing black clothes, and as those clothes clung to his body. She can see that the boy had a well-defined body.
He was not too bulky but had an athletic body, and his hair was black as charcoal which is shining in the night and his eyes were deep black as a shiny black hole.
The black color was complimenting his pale skin. His face seemed effeminate but handsome on the innocent side and one can feel that he had a mature mentality.
Right now his handsome face had a frown, he grabbed his head like he was having a headache. Soon he got up and looked around, Persephone could see that the boy was confused.
After some time he noticed a hill from afar and walked to the hill. Persephone also flew towards him. She sat on the rock above where he was standing. He was looking towards the sea, and Persephone flowed through his gaze. Then she heard him say.
" Beautiful. "
She understood his feeling, she also find the scene beautiful. The place was silent and under the night sky, only the sound of wind and leaves can be heard. In this world sometimes people forget how beautiful silence can be. She also voiced her thoughts looking towards the same scene.
" Beautiful Indeed. "
Boy's gaze moves from the scene to her, but Persephone was still gazing toward the sea. For her, his gaze didn't matter, it is incomprehensible for a lower existence to see her - a higher existence.
After some time when the boy's eye stopped dawdling on her, she heard him repeat his word.
Then, she looked toward him. The boy was looking at her in a daze but he quickly composed himself which surprised her a little and she realized.
' He can see me? '
Lower existence should not able to see her, but the boy can clearly see her.
She also saw how quickly he composed himself and she was amazed. Her charm is not something even the strongest of the universe could escape that easily, so witnessing a lower existence doing it shocked her a little.
She tried to observe the boy, the boy was positively a lower existence but she could sense with her skill that the boy's soul seemed intangible. She again voiced her thoughts.
" Interesting. "
The boy remained focused this time and asked back.
" Who are you? "
After so many millenniums of her existence, Persephone grew uninterested in everything and now something got her curiosity again. She felt a little consumed by the entity before her.
Not aware of what she was feeling, she delightfully spoke her name.
" Persephone. "
If anyone in the higher existence saw the smile she had now, they would have frozen hell over the earth. Seeing the stupefy expression of the boy she asked back the same question that he had asked her.
" And who are you? "
After a few seconds, the boy in front of her squinted his eyes as he replied.
" …Arthur. "
****
My name just came out of my mouth on its own, even when I tried to hold it in.
For a few seconds, I stared at the seductive yet charming woman in front of me. She noticed that I was seriously looking at her, and she asked with her sweet voice and smile.
" Why are you looking at me so seriously like that?~~"
I almost lost myself again after hearing her voice. It is magical how her voice could sound deep as a seductive woman and thin as an innocent girl. I had to bite my lips to remain focused. Her voice was too alluring. Who is she?
I tried my best to push aside how captivating she is in the back of my mind. I put on a serious face while making eye contact with her to show a little hostility and spoke.
" Your name, Who are you? "
As if she feigns ignorance toward my hostility. She looked up tilting her face a little, and she put a finger to her chin, revealing a little bit of her appealing neck.
I couldn't help but think ' Is she doing it on purpose?! ' If she was doing it on purpose, well it was doing its work.
" Didn't I just say my name? " She asked.
" Why don't you tell me again? I didn't get it the first time. "
I retort to her. Well, I heard what she said, but who would believe what she said?
She mocked my response with her expressions and chuckled a bit, which just made her look even cuter. With her chuckle, her breast moved in the rhythm, but I tried my best not to look at it.
' This woman, she is doing it on purpose, isn't she? '
She spoke with grace. " My name is Persephone. "
She told me her name again. This time I chuckled with a rotten face like I heard a bad joke.
" Persephone? Do you mean the goddess of the underworld? "
She leaned a bit, with little wide eyes and a smile, then she pointed her index finger at me and snapped it with her thumb while speaking.
" Right! That one. I knew you are smart. "
She looked like someone who just made a kid understand what she was trying to say. I could see a sense of accomplishment on her face, she looked really proud of herself. I forced a smile on my face.
" Really? That's a great stage name you got there. "
" Uhh?... Stage name? You don't believe me? "
" Believe you? Are you alright in your head lady? Which parent would name their child like that? "
I retorted, again. I was having a headache at this moment. I am lost in the middle of the forest. I can only guess that I am kidnapped, and this woman, for all I know is with the people who kidnapped me. And she is joking with me? I looked at her with an angry face.
" Who are you really? and Why did you kidnap me? Look, I am not some millionaire. So you won't get much money and my family would not much care. So I advise you to let me go. "
The woman looked at me. She seems to find me amusing as she was still smiling. No matter how beautiful she looked, now I was getting a little impatient but before I could speak she spoke first.
" Me? Kidnapped you? Why would I do that? I don't need any money nor do I have much interest in it. "
Hearing her answer I laughed. She doesn't like the money? I mean, who doesn't like money? Everyone likes it, everyone wants it, and no matter how rich people get they just want more of it.
This woman in front of me is saying that she doesn't want what everybody wants. Anyway, if that is the case it is good for me. I looked at her and said.
" If that's the case, Can you let me go? "
She shrugged her shoulder and spoke like she is just singing a song - like it was of no interest to her whether I leave or not.
" Sure~~ go wherever you want. I am not stopping you. "
I became speechless, I couldn't say anything back to her. If she really is not going to bother with me I can leave, but still, how can I go when I don't know where I am? I looked at her with anger and seriousness realizing that she was mocking me.
" You people brought me here, Shouldn't you be the one to get me out? "
" Huh? I didn't bring you here. I was just passing by. I found you here. "
I was speechless once again.
' AHHH!! This woman, Does she think this is funny?!?! '
I can't take this anymore. I was losing my patience. She is just trying to play with me.
