Medusa’s Son

Chapter 10

Third person POV

Euryale was one of the immortal gorgon sisters. She had brass claws, sharp fangs, and hair of living, venomous snakes.

Euryale was born, along with her two sisters, to Medusa and Stheno, deities of the sea, in caverns beneath Mount Olympus, the home of the Olympians. Euryale and her sisters were not born gorgons.

Poseidon had sexually forced himself upon Medusa in the temple of Athena, which angered Athena because she was a virgin goddess. Athena turned Medusa into a gorgon along with Stheno and Euryale, who stood up for Medusa.

Unlike Medusa, Euryale could not turn people to stone when she looked into their eyes. Euryale was noted for her bellowing cries, particularly when her sister was killed by the hands of Perseus. In some versions of the myth, Euryale had knuckles instead of claws.

His head was slumped low and his eyes closed. He heard faint chatter ringing through his ears. He blinked his eyes open still looking at the ground when to realize this ground isn't concrete nor wood.

He lifted his head up quickly and tried to get up only to realize his hands were hanging. He looked to the side and realized his hands were chained up to the ceiling, his legs were chained also but he was on his knees.

He just now realized that the chatter stopped and everyone in the room was watching him. He looked around and his eyes widened a couple inches, he was in Olympus, and here before him were the gods themselves.

His memories suddenly came flooding back to him and he realized how he got here. They were staring at him, judging him, noting how their way better then him. He stared back at with just as much fire in his eyes.

Finally someone broke the silence.

"Oh look who's up, Medusa's bitch" he heard a girl say. He snapped his eyes toward the person, Athena. Even when he didn't know he was Medusa's descendant he still disliked Athena but now he despised her.

"Now now Athena play nice" Zeus spoke. Priamoss he's fixated at him in annoyance. He always disliked the gods, them and their cocky, egotistical, selves. Before he never wanted to actually hurt them but now it's a whole different story.

He wanted to get out of this situation as soon as possible. "What do you want" he asked the most important obvious question. Zeus quirked his eyebrow at him in confusion. "I mean if you wanted to kill me you would have done it already" he said explained.

Zeus hummed impressed, he leaned forward in his throne looking at priamos with a smirk. "Your smart" he complimented. "I've been told" priamos fired back. Zeus let out a whole hearted laugh, throwing his head back.

"We want to your powers"

Zeus cut to the chase. Priamos was caught by surprise, the last thing he expected to come out of his mouth .... well not the last thing. The surprise soon faded into anger, he couldn't believe it.

"And how are you planning to do that" he asked. Zeus looked at him longer before looking away. "Aphrodite" he suddenly called. And that's when priamos felt her behind him, he hated it, her aura felt off.

"You see priamos" Zeus started and priamos tried to ignore how he new his name. "You know in movies or shows, the main character loses someone precious to them, and that's when their little powers come out, the rage in them comes out" he explained.

Priamos didn't know where he was going with this, he was utterly confused. “Do you watch the vampire diaries or something” he joked. She chose to ignore that. "After your power come out we will suck them out of you" he ended. Priamos still didn't get it, nothing he said ties to what is happening now.

Oh boy was he wrong.

Suddenly he heard a thump. He heard something role and stop in front of him. Whatever it was smelled rotten, it smelled like death. Priamos refused to look down, refused to see what kind of sick shit was in front of him.

Zeus smirked he gestured with his eyes to whatever he as on the ground, daring priamos to look at it. Priamos closed his eye for a second and too a deep breath, he opened it slowly and hesitantly looked at the floor, and what he saw completely broke him .....

Euryales head with no body.

His lips parted, and his eyes became red. His chest heaved, as his face scrunched up. Tears made its way to his eyes but didn't fall. He silently mumbled something underneath his breath.

"What was that, couldn't hear you" Zeus taunted. "I said, I'm gonna kill you" priamos yelled near the end pulling on the gold chains so heard it banged against the wall. Primos felt goosebumps go over his body.

Then suddenly a blind fold was placed on his face causing him to struggle and shout more. He felt hair, he felt hair go past his shoulders and he felt something speed across his face, he didn't hurt, it just felt odd.

He felt the hair stop at his lower back, his eyes suddenly burned and he screamed out in pain. His lungs burned, his skin burned, it felt like he was dying, until the pain suddenly stopped.

He went limp against the chains and hanged his head low, the hair falling over his shoulders. "There your are" he heard Zeus speak

"Priamos"
