Persy
I had an interesting relationship with divinity.
For one, I was the daughter of two of the most powerful gods in
history, and sister to the most. But on the other hand, I grew up knowing I’d
never take power.
It took me a year to master the small well of power I was bestowed,
whereas the firestorm my brother inherited still wreaked havoc.
But I was well aware that as a member of the divine, I was viewed as
on par with the gods in most contexts. Especially given my family’s infamy.
That was why I’d decided early on that I wanted to do something with
the privilege and power I’d been given. I had always believed that hurt
people hurt people, that there was always something underneath someone’s
rebellious acts.
So the day I got the okay from my parents to turn Prometheus, once a
famed prison, into something that tried to help people recover from
whatever pushed them into the reckless or the criminal, I took it.
It had been four years since I took over. Four years since I’d been a
wide-eyed twenty year old who had to learn very quickly that while most
could benefit and rehab their lives, there were some who couldn’t be fixed.
I wasn’t quite sure where the god sitting in front of me belonged.
Whether evil had seeped so deeply into his bones that no one could extract
it, or if circumstance had pushed him into this desperate corner where he
recklessly tried to overthrow my brother.
He was sleeping, resting his large form against the hard stone
gracefully.
It was quite impossible to ignore his beauty. His features looked like
they’d been sculpted from marble by a master of their craft, his dark hair
falling perfectly.
His eyes, though currently closed, were akin to an oil painting, a mess
of every color imaginable—blue, green, gray, yellow, you name it.
And his form…that certainly had to be a product of his power. I was
tall myself, standing at six feet, but he had at least half a foot on me, with
shoulders large enough to eclipse the sun.
Strong hands that looked both able to command the heaviest of bows
and balance a paintbrush with utmost care.
Such artistry in a man, and yet it was wasted on a reckless grab for
even more power than he was already bestowed.
At the thought, I tapped lightly on the iron bars of the old cell, rusted
and weak with lack of use.
Sebastian jolted awake before settling back into a graceful stance.
When his eyes settled on me, his jaw turned to stone.
“Hello,” I said, and the word seemed to have the effect of a clanking
bell on him. His muscles jerked, his jaw pulsing like he was trying to
forcefully keep it closed. “You don’t have to speak. I’m not here to have a
conversation, really.
Just to let you know what your future looks like.”
Sebastian snorted sardonically, raising one dark eyebrow at me. The
picture of doubt. “Your brother couldn’t have done it himself?”
