The Wrath of the Goddess of Love.
Ancient Greece, October 31, 2000, BCE (Before Common Time.)
In a small village on an island, there was a girl. She was one of the most beautiful babies that the village had ever seen. As she grew, she started to show her true beauty, with her long blonde hair that rested down to her knees in beautiful waves of gold. Her skin was as pale as the fresh fallen snow that would grace the village in the late winter, and her eyes were as blue as the ocean and as deep as the sea. Aphrodite was considered the most beautiful woman to have ever graced the village.
Aphrodite had a knack for knowing what someone was feeling and knew what the best way to help them. She knew the love of others and tended to help them when she noticed two people who were in love and just needed a little push towards each other. Aphrodite was haunted by dreams as she grew older of a life she should have known. It showed a little boy and his growing up in an unhappy home. She followed the boy through his schooling, and his growth into a young man on the verge of war.
One of her best supporters was her best friend and guide. She was one of the few beings that knew of her true nature as a Wiccan Witch, and how she would face many demons in the pursuit of her. Heliodora was one of the first Whitelighters to help a witch and was happy to be able to help her friend with her role in life. Heliodora was a sweet soul and would guide Aphrodite in the many ways of a witch and would help her to find the Goblins that would one day run the banking of the Wizarding Society. She was one of the first to open an account with them and had them store gifts and other precious items for her.
She was like the best prize in the village. She would be ready for anything that could happen. She grew up a happy child and grew to love the small village as it grew. Aphrodite became well known in the town as the most beautiful woman in the village, and many men had tried to take her hand in marriage, but she never really felt the love she sensed in others when she felt their emotions. There was plenty of passion, but for her she wanted love of her own.
On the eve of her sixteenth birthday, Heliodora came with some grave news. It seemed that there was a group of beings who were too powerful for her bosses to be able to beat themselves, so they were gathering a group of powerful witches to be able to defeat them. The group were known as the Titans, and with Aphrodite’s blessing Heliodora would like to bless her and give her divine powers to help defeat the Titans and restore the balance of the world.
With the help of eleven other gods and goddesses, Aphrodite was thrilled with her new powers. She had a great lure that would bring anyone that was attracted to women to her. She would use this power to bring the men of Ancient Greece to their knees and bring the Titans to the top of a mountain where they with the help of the other Greek Gods, were able to incase them in ice and stopping the war that would have ended the world if they were to succeed in their plans.
Aphrodite loved her new powers, and did not want to give them up, she started to document all of the powers she had, and anything else that she would learn about the elders. The more she learned the more that she did not want to give up her chance to take them down in the future. They caused witches to be good, and to not use their powers unless they are in danger. Which is dumb, as it causes others like her to be separated from the mortals and be in danger from demons.
Aphrodite’s powers grew as she grew older, she did not age after she received her powers of the Goddess of Love. People loved her, and she grew quite the following of young men who would worship her. She did not like that Hera, the Queen of the Gods, decided that she had to marry unless she wanted to be punished for sleeping with her husband and others. So, Aphrodite was soon wed to a man that was not her choice, and one of the things that she feared the most came to pass. She was married to the man Hephaestus, and she hated every minute of it. Hephaestus was not a loving man, and that really got on the nerves of the Goddess of Love, as she always wanted to be treated like Royalty by her partner, and now thanks to this man, she will never be able to find that love. Hephaestus was a devout follower of the Elders, and they let him keep his powers to keep the other Gods in line. Aphrodite found this out and started to plan.
These plans were with the help of Ares, God of War, and she slowly over the years of working with him, started to see him as the man of her dreams. Ares acted tough, and had a rough personality, but he was sweet to her. She could see herself with this man. He was everything that Hephaestus was not. He did not live in his forge and was happy with the way he was treated by Aphrodite. Ares even started to train Aphrodite in the art of fighting, and she learned that some people in a village north of her home village, claimed her as a Warrior Goddess, and she loved that. It showed her how even with having passive powers compared to the others, she was able to be seen as a formidable warrior, and she took to her training in every sense of the word very seriously. She became a formidable warrior, and the lover of her trainer Ares. She felt his genuine feelings of love for her. Something of which she did not feel from her own husband.
A lot can happen in a thousand years. A lot of love to be had, and a lot of war was seen. Aphrodite was thrust into the middle of it, and just when she thought that she would be able to be with her love, she was treated like a little girl trying to beat the big men in the ways of war. Aphrodite was not pleased, and so she began to get a little vengeful of all the scorn she received from every god and goddess besides Ares, Gaea, Athena, and Hades. She was tired of it, and the Elders had sent her best friend away when she really needed the advice of her closest friend.
The Trojan war was her last straw, and she decided to sow a little chaos because she wanted to undermine the Elders, and the other Gods and Goddesses. Athena and Gaea were a part of her plan, and so they set the musses up to inspire a mortal man to sponsor a contest between three of the most beautiful Goddesses. Aphrodite, Athena, and Hera were chosen to be the most likely candidates for the most beautiful, and so Aphrodite started her plan. Hera and Athena offered the mortal great gifts to declare them the most beautiful Goddess, but Aphrodite had a plan, she offered the man the love of the most beautiful mortal woman as her gift if he would declare her the most beautiful.
Paris of Troy agreed to the trade of the love of the most beautiful mortal woman, who happened to be Helen, the queen of Troy, and the wife of the king of the land. She fell in love with Paris who happened to be the prince of the neighboring kingdom. Paris took his new bride to his homeland and thus started the Trojan war between the two kingdoms. Aphrodite was proud of the chaos she had brought to the world and was happy to be able to watch it perched on the tallest building. Aphrodite was a passionate woman who could be very vengeful when she was slighted, and the Elders’ favored king of Troy, would not be able to win the war.
The gods soon got into conflict between the two kingdoms. They were divided between the two sides, and she was happy to note that she could use the powers of others by feeling the emotions of what they felt when they used their powers. Aphrodite was soon seen as one of the most feared Goddesses in the war. She was seen turning the powers of the other Gods back to them and overloading the powers with more emotion to empower the attack. Aphrodite used her luring ability to turn the soldiers on the side of Troy back to their own. She used this time to be as cruel as she could to those favored by the Elders and was glad to get rid of a lot of their following.
The battle was won on the side of Aphrodite, and she decided she wasn’t going to spend the night with her husband and would instead spend it with her lover and Soulmate, Ares. Aphrodite and Ares were in a heated display of passion when they were caught by Hephaestus. The man became angry and threw a fine net at the couple. He did not get the other gods and goddesses; he instead took matters into his own hands.
Hephaestus took Ares and Aphrodite and bound the couple to a chair and table respectively. Ares was the first to suffer as he was the one that seduced his wife. Hephaestus took enchanted knives that he made just for this purpose and started to carve things into the god of war. Ares tried to stand strong and break the chains, but they were given to the blacksmith by the Elders to ensure that the more violent gods could be killed. The first thing that the blacksmith cut off was the cock of the God. He was not happy to learn that it was much bigger than his own. Hephaestus made the god of war eat his own dick. He forced the man to swallow, or he would have to watch as he raped his own lover.
Aphrodite was horrified by the man she had called her husband as he tortured her lover. What was worse was that he made good on the threats of raping her as he forced her lover to watch. She screamed until her voice was hoarse. What was worse was that the god of metalworking forced nails and sharp objects into her skin. Her powers were failing her as she couldn't even get them to work. It would seem that Hephaestus used the spell the Elders gave him to disempower a god, and then they took her powers from her. She was livid at that.
As she died, Aphrodite swore that she would make the Elders pay. She gave a prophecy that her soul would be reborn into another, and they will have to face them and then they will meet their end at her hands. Aphrodite saw the life leave Ares as she died. She hoped that she would be able to love that man again. He was really the only man that would really care for her. Looking into the eyes of her husband as he climaxed in her, she cursed the man with her own Empathic powers. It worked and now he will have to deal with the emotions of what he did to her. She will not let him get away with what he was doing.
“The one to end the White Lords’ reign of terror will be reborn five times. They will live the lives of five notable figures in history and bring the powers of Lady Magic back to what it should have been. They will bring the mortals and magical kingdoms back to the rightful ruling family. The one to bring about the fall of the White Lords will be brought to the past by the death and her sister to bring about the peace of us all.”
The words were spoken by a little girl of about five. Her voice was empowered by the very beings that she was blessed by. She was a daughter of the Norns and was blessed by them with the visions of the weave, and so when they noticed that the Elders were taking matters in their own hands, the three oracles put this failsafe into play. Which, thanks to a meddling old man, was coming true.
