Persephone sighed, looking out across the meadow. It was a lovely day, but all days were lovely. Always eternal spring. Always boring.
Her mother, goddess Demeter, had kept her here so she'd always be safe. It was another thing Persephone hated. She wanted to go out in the world, see the mortals. Not be trapped by her mother. She was a fertility goddess of the new spring. She should be out there, living life! And, she looked like a new spring goddess. She had curves in all the right places and was told several times by the likes of Hermes and Apollo that she was beautiful. Maybe that was why Demeter kept her hidden here?
Not that her father was any better at helping her out. Zeus, not only her father but also her uncle, treasured her. She was probably one of his children that Hera (her aunt/stepmother) wasn't jealous of. The same applied to Apollo and Artemis, who somehow managed to escape Hera's wrath.
Running a hand though her wheat-gold hair, she took another look around the meadow. She was supposed to be laughing with the nymphs and picking flowers, but that bored her. The nymphs in question were at the pond, giggling over nothing. Brainless idiots.
She turned to go when a flower caught her eye. Among the splender of the flowers sat one lonely black one. It wasn't dead, just different. She walked closer and saw that the center was a blood-red stone. Intrigued, she bent down to pick it up and felt the earth shake as her fingers closed around the stem.
