[1] Medusa, a beautiful maiden. She was Athena's priestess but was so beautiful. Some said her beauty rivalled Athena's, and that rubbed the Goddess the wrong way. She was later raped by Poseidon in Athena's temple and in anger, the Goddess of wisdom cursed her to become ugly, so ugly she turns to stone those who gaze on her.
[2]Adonis, a beautiful young man. Whose beauty was so much, he was said to be more beautiful than Apollo. Aphrodite and Persephone were infatuated with him, messed him up and his life ended up amounting to being shared between the two Goddesses.
[3] 3 women who had snakes for hair and petrified those who they looked upon
Forgive some of my citations about mythology if they are quite shallow, but I'm trying to keep the chapters a little short. Just search g****e for them. And also some stories have more than one version so i took the ones most familiar to myself and most relevant to my story.
Please kindly support with comments, reviews and any other support possible.
The novel has a discord server. If you want to join, ask for it in the comment section.
Please note that
*cough* *cough*. It's really hard writing every day but I will try to do my best. I'll be referencing mythology often, but I'll try to indicate
* in front of verbs is a kind of way of representing the actions being carried out by myself
Zander disappeared from where he stood and a few moments later, he was in some sort of natural garden under a tree roughly in its center and having his gaze fixed on a little girl whose physical appearance could only be described by one word–perfection. She was Samael. The daughter of Lucifer Morningstar, the first of the fallen angels of the Heavenly Father and Lilith. Her mother Lilith was Adam's first wife who had been banished from Eden when she proved to be obstinate towards Adam. She became the mother of all demons and was widely known for being the first succubus. Their daughter, Samael, had come to be known as the first demon but was, in fact, the first angel-demon hybrid. The form Zander was gazing upon was a limiter on her abilities. Her true form was that of a voluptuous young woman, hair white as snow. In her true form, her red crimson colored eyes coupled with the horns on her forehead, the pair of bat wings, and the tail which wiggled from time to time gave away her id
---- A/N Longinus was the soldier who pierced Jesus' side on the cross. His spear has been referred to as the spear of Longinus by many. Some refer to it as the spear of destiny, the holy lance, the lance of Longinus and many other names. clairvoyance is an ability to see into the future. The heavenly father is the Almighty of the christian religion. And P.S, I'm an author. My personal beliefs and religion play no part in this story and thus, I would like to inisist that any offences towards readers' beliefs and or religions are not intentional. Please read with an open mind. ----

"You and I both know, only with the power boost from awakening, my status will move from Master class to Sage class and even without that most opponents will mean nothing to me," Samael said as her expression gradually shifted from a stern one to a tired one. "Look at you, Zander. I've gazed upon your soul and I know what power dwells within you waiting for the right time to emerge." "Even with the power you have now if you were to unleash it all, even some awakened might be defeated with just one hit, and dare I say nothing will stop the beast which dwells within you. Why do you try so hard? Till this day, I don't understand?" she spoke with a puzzled expression at first and a sigh later. He inhaled and exhaled. He looked at her and sighed. Walking past her, he sat on the ground, leaned on the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and spoke. "From the moment I was born, I remember everything. I remember my mother, how her milk tasted, and I also kn
--- Sorry, I uploaded chapter 15 ahead of 14 due to some errors with the timer, skip this chapter and read Chapter 14 before coming back if you want to follow chronology ---- "As a demon progenitor, although Eczosiri is outside my jurisdiction, I had a way to help them seal him away. I just needed their help to weaken and break the barrier that kept the queen of hell from physically leaving. 8 months had passed for me and once they accepted and they helped me, I left hell. I wanted to give birth to you in a place full of love and life, not tainted by darkness and negativity." "That said, they impressed me with the works of the elementals and so I tagged along. After 2 weeks of staying with them, I decided, they would best nurture my child and thus, it was the best to raise her here on asteria." "Once it was my full term, I gave birth in Zoriah with the help of Oracle. as soon as I gave birth, I passed out because of the strain of too much divine energy. I woke up, and the midwives
After Zander flew off, the two women stayed in their embrace for some time before backing off and staring at each other. The awkwardness in the atmosphere was almost tangible. The awkward silence was broken when Lilith, the older-looking succubus, broke the silence with a sigh so heavy it produced an air current.*sigh"I was just caught up in emotion, and so we're you. We're not really close and if you call me, you either need my help with something or you want to ask me certain questions.""But before staying your reason for summoning me here, I just really want to say I'm sorry. To you I'm a few millennia late, I have no right to say that and I won't want to take your time given you might have limited time for whatever you called me here. I can't hope to ask for forgiveness nor use the fact that time flows differently in the underworld but i just want you to know I'm sorry"Samael looked at her mother with dead eyes.'Part of me wants to hate her, but the same part which pushed me
“This garden reminds me of Eden. So fresh, pure, and full of life. I sometimes miss it, you know.” Lilith said as she took in a big breath and exhaled, creating a small gust of wind. She looks around the garden with nostalgia before Samael breaks the silence following her sentence.“Actually, mom, this is Eden. Grandpa took the Yggdrasil seedling, which served as the tree of life, back to the Celestial city. He gifted me the garden alongside my very own pocket dimension for my birthday.”Samael answered. Unaware of the pain she inflicted on her mother’s already broken heart when she spoke of her birthday and reminded her she has never been there for her daughter. “The tree of knowledge of good and evil which stepmom and step dad ate from is my favorite spot. It’s in that direction” Samael continued as she pointed the direction. Whilst pointing out the direction of the tree she was referring to, she stopped when she heard a *thud sound behind her. Turning around, she saw Lilith kneel
As soon as the voice finished speaking, his presence disappeared completely.Lilith looked at Samael, who had almost started speaking and placed a finger on her mouthSamael had been watching this silently, suddenly let out a little whimper. Lilith had always shielded her daughter from her God-king aura and was trying to do so now, but failed miserably. She herself felt his pressure, and he wasn’t even in the dimension. Samael thought to herself.‘Damn. What is this pressure? It’s familiar, but my senses are getting messed up. This power is ridiculous. How strong is he? Even mother has issues. Her legs are trembling. A God-King is at the level of Zeus, and this newcomer can make such logic defying beings to tremble without even being in proximity?’“Your daughter is here? I hadn’t taken a note. I’m sorry for the pressure, little one. I am hardly summoned and when I am, it’s usually to lay waste to something.
