Psyche

Psyche was born beautiful.

"Oh wow, she was pretty, so what?" You say. No. She was the most beautiful person on Earth. People even said she was prettier than Aphrodite. Well, as you can probably guess, Aphrodite was not okay with this.

"Eros!" She screamed when she found out about this mortal maiden Psyche. Eros, Aphrodite's son, flew in with his white feathery wings.

"What's up, Mom?" He asked.

"Go visit this woman, Pysche. Make her fall in love with some ugly hobo or a poodle. We'll make her regret ever being born beautiful!" Aphrodite cackled. Of course, being born beautiful was none of Psyche's fault, but Aphrodite didn't care.

Another thing about Psyche, she wasn't just beautiful. She was smart and kind, too, but no one seemed to know that. Even with her nice persona, Psyche had trouble getting friends. Everyone was either jealous of her or admired her like she was a celebrity. 

Anyway, Eros flew down to Earth invisibly to find Pysche.

When Eros saw Psyche, though, he was so distracted by her beauty he dropped his bow, which he had pre-loaded. But, as he dropped his bow, it fired and shot Eros right in the heart. Eros immdiately fell madly in love with Psyche.

What happens next? Psyche will be continued soon!
