Mortal Mistake

Just wanted to say sorry for the spaceing, as blogger doesnt reconize indents. ): Anyway, here it is-



Once upon a time, there lived a goddess name Fauna. Fauna was set apart from any other goddess for the single reason that once she was born, her father, Zeus, saw her long fiery red hair, and became furious, for he assumed that her mother, Leonora, had cheated on him. Neither had the bright hair of the infant. Zeus then cursed her, imprisoning her to watch life from the clouds. The only way she could be free, was to become a lowly mortal and to end her life with the gods. Seventeen years later, is where the story truly begins.

Fauna sighed deeply as she gazed down on earth. “ Why cant I be there? Among those with so little cares?” She pondered. She knew of course, the consequence for the freedom she longed. Her mother often warned her of the risks when she came for her seldom visits upon Faunas single cloud, and with the letters she sent along with Hermes. Fauna had the small feeling her mother knew of her longing and temptation to make that undoable choice, yet it didn’t stop her. She was constantly sending small tokens to the earth below, hoping, praying, that they would be noticed. It was such a dull life on her cloud., not much color besides the color she made by forming items and weather from thin air. That was a power she discovered a few years back. She remembered it as if it was only moments ago.
It was nearing winter, and everything was becoming gloomy and dull. Persephone had made way to the underworld to join Hades to pay her debt. Fauna was bored of the constant braiding of her long red hair, and talking to the not so chatty bird that occasionally flew by for a short moment. She then began to write. She wrote until her hands became numb. Writing came natural to her, she wrote poems and fairytales that she could only imagine the mortals below lived out. It was then, when she became so sad and lonesome thinking of the life she wished was hers, it happened. A single droplet of pure blue rain dropped onto her open book in front of her. She looked up, mesmerized. As a huge smile formed on her face then, her bad mood vanished, and a small butterfly came and landed right on her nose. Sadly, only minor things are in her ability , for she was there to bring small measures of happiness and joy to those who needed it most., and for pure enjoyment.
　
As the small breeze whispered through her hair, like a pebbled gracefully running across a river, she shivered. Then as she formed a small orb of heat, at her feet, she laid down to rest.
A few hours filled with tossing and turning , she awoke in a sweat. Her mind was out of the norm, she was anxious. Filled with longing for the warned life, she paced around the white cloud, covered in darkness aside from the small glow around the warm orb. “I cant live like this!” She shouted to herself. “I am an animal here! No freedom for what I truly desire! Its not fair!”
She wiped the sweat from her delicate brow, and called out to Zeus. “ Zeus! I know you can here me! Come here, please.” She begged. “ I have made my decision.” As the last words escaped from her mouth, in the far end of the cloud, a beam of bright light burst forth. There was a shadow, clearly of Zeus, lightning blot ready in hand.
“You awoke me from my sleep?” He said in an ornery tone.
“Yes. I’m Sorry.” Whispered Fauna. “ I wish to go to earth.”
Zeus smiled then, “I see. You are aware of the consequences?” He questioned, already knowing the answer.
“Yes.”
“So be it.” He said. Then taking his staff from his other hand, pointing it to her, he flicked it quickly forward, then it all went black.
In a daze, Fauna awoke to an unfamiliar smell. Grass! She had never seen it so close before! She bent down, chest pressed against the ground, and smelled the grass wet with dew, before she was startled.
“Do I want to know?” Asked a strange face. Fauna jumped, standing up swiftly, she patted her knee length dress down, wiping away the grass and dirt.
“Oh hello there!” She said in a cheery voice. “I am afraid I haven’t met you? I’m Fauna. Daughter of Z-” She cut herself off, she should know better then to say that! How much she has to learn!
“Fauna, Eh?” Said the mysterious boy. “I’m Liam. Are you new here?” He questioned.
Fauna looked around, she didn’t even know her location! She sighed to herself, then rubbing her forehead said, “Um.. Actually, mind telling me where I am?”
Liam tilted his head, clearly confused. “Well, This is New York City.” He said slowly, then added “in New York.” Then shifted his feet, giving a weak smile.
“Oh. Right. Silly me! How could I forget?” She said, trying to cover up her mix-up. She then looked down to her dress, then to Liam. How peculiar his clothes were! Look at the funny little dress with the seam in the middle, doesn’t even match the top and bottom! She thought to herself.
Little did Fauna know, as she was too busy being a critic of Liam’s clothes, Liam was doing the same. He looked to his stonewashed jeans, then at her faded emerald dress and silver bracelets and wondered why on earth was she wearing a dress, yet one so short, at this time? He then looked around, as the cold fall breeze brushed against his face. After a moment of awkward silence, he then began to walk his way out of central park. Before he was even five feet away, a hand grasped his arm. He looked up, staring into Fauna’s deep dark purple eyes.
“May I help you?” He asked.
“Can you help me?” She questioned, with her voice weak
Liam looked at her for a brief moment as if she was insane, but then cleared his throat then said, “With?”
Fauna’s eyes widened. She didn’t even know what she needed help with. She then looked down in silence, taking her hand away from his arm. They stared at each other for a short moment, then Liam looked back with a confused look on his face, then continued out from the park
As night was approaching fast, Fauna found a small bush in the middle of the park, where she knelt down. Taking her hands out in front of her, she attempted to make an orb. But, nothing happened. She tried a few more times, all resulting unsuccessful., before discovering the true problem. She was a mortal now. True, she remembered her past, but her abilities were no longer present. Curling up into a small ball against a cold brick divider, she sat alone in silence, thinking.
“What have I done?” She thought aloud. All the memories she once hated came flooding back; Her mother with her loving letters and warm hugs, the vibrant butterflies and flowers she had an endless supply of, the entertainment of watching earth all day and night. Oh how she missed them so dearly, even as it was only a day passed. She wept silently, realizing her great mistake.

+++++++++++++++
Fauna spent that night alone in central park, weeping silently to herself. She made the hast decision to leave the life she was blessed with, to go to one she knew little about., and regretted it. Take it upon yourself to learn from her mistake and be content with what’s given to you. For one simple mistake, could be the end of it all.

Farewell.

Just wanted so I am going up on "It's my life". It seems like it has brought more frowns then smiles, and in the end it's just not worth it. Thanks for the support guys (:
